Suggestion to make Monster Shoulder grinding better

smashcats

When you use a key on a chest it should show you 3 options, you can only choose 1 of them.

This way you get a bit better chance at getting what you actually want, without potentially grinding for weeks and just giving up (Like I have)

I'm pretty sure many people would agree that shoulder grinding is a terrible thing, from my experience, there is nobody calling out for pledge groups in zone chat, and even queuing as my healer for pledge dungeons I can sit in queue for 20+ minutes and never get in.

So from what I can see, nobody is farming these things at all. Maybe time for a change?

While I kind of feel where you're coming from, have you considered being the person calling out for pledges in zone chat? Always works for me, no matter what role I am on or post that I'm looking for. Never any trouble finding people, at least on PC/NA.

I remember when we could only get three keys a day, all shoulders were in one chest and we could not change traits. Also, purple keys were only obtained via vet difficulty, iirc.

Also, in regards to your suggestion, I like it. I doubt it'll be implemented, but I wouldn't mind opening the chest to get three options to choose from. Kind of makes it like a fun little mini game, where you'd occasionally have to make hard choices. If it showed up on the Patch Notes, I'd be like, "Neat".

I was thinking along the lines of hitting up guildies on chat. Not much of a response on PS4 these days for pledges on zone chat. Oddly, better off with dungeon finder.

I don't mind the grind so much, but would like an improvement to the shoulders RNG. I like this suggestion. Though, I could see a situation where all 3 options are Grothdarr heavy

Uphill both ways, in the snow!
