Dungeon Gear Farming PS4 NA

regime211

I find it highly aggravating when you're trying to farm for a specific gear set and you try to tell those at the beginning of the dungeon what you're looking for, and at the end of the dungeon one person acknowledges you if they found any pieces while the rest just leave group without even saying anything. Now you can tell me well why not group with friends? Friends are not always available when you need them, and putting g off your gear farm just for said friends to be available to help out isn't also an option. I wish there was some type of loot table so you can see what everyone got for drops for each boss. And if they decide not to pick it up and it's the piece you need then you can grab it.

If you tell me what you want at the start of a dungeon I will always check at the end. I usually also ask at the end if anyone is lf gear.

One request to everyone though... please don't ask repeatedly in the middle of the dungeons.

Finally something you and I agree on, @regime211.

There are add-ons that help with that on PC ... but sometimes that kind of privacy add-on is a turn-off to other players whom don’t know you’re looking at their loot.

But, yeah, PUGs can sometimes be annoying for sure.

I generally ask for what I am looking for at the start of the dungeon and when replacement group members join.

I always offer a tip for the pieces I am after, usually 1K per item if its the exact item I am looking for and in the perfect trait I will usually tip 10K.

For weapons I tend to offer a hefty bounty up to 100K for certain weapons that refuse to drop for me.

But most of the time I make do farming the armor pieces for dungeon sets and using overland or crafted weapons and jewelry saves a lot of time and effort.

But end of the day RNG can be bad even for a group, if someone got nothing your after more often than not they won't bother saying anything and just leave its more likely to happen if your after weapons and jewelry rather than armor pieces.

If someone is after something, I give them all the pieces I got during the dungeon of that set unless I am farming it, I don't expect anything in return the gear would have just been vendored or deconned afterwards anyway.

Rule of thumb is for me at least if the PUG group you get does not even respond to the Hi at the beginning chances are, they have chat closed or are not planning to pay attention to it at all.

All you can do is post your message in chat and hope someone responds at the end of the dungeon with the pieces you need. Or form a farming group with friends of guild mates.

Then offer gold if the item is that important to your build.

Peeps are not obligated in anyway to give up their drops or make room just because you want something.

Even if there was a loot table showing you what everyone got, no one has to give a random anything.

Leaving without saying anything is fine imo.

I’ve asked before, and have addons so I know who has what. What really gets me is the people who blatantly lie and say they didn’t get something I know they did.

I don’t care if you want to keep it for whatever reasons(even if the reason is you just want to sell or deconn it) and wouldn’t even care if they said nothing.

But when they go out of their way to lie about it I do get a little miffed.

When an mmorpg is not challenging, there is no need for real human interaction.
That means no real respect or rivalry with other players.

A dungeon with you, a random player that there is 0 need to develop a relation is beat done as quickly as possible for the lame daily reward. So why bother treating you like a person if that means delaying them from performing their next lame daily activity?

No real community. Just give me give me give me (event rewards, new map/story/new skill lones/new crown items/new houses)




And then the CP61 picks up the sword or axe or dagger or mace with the trait you needed.

Narvuntien

Better than someone staying they had the gear, waving it in your face and tell you they wouldn't give it to you, because you aren't a tank.

I almost rage quit the game at that point.

sedi

I always say no sorry if I didnt get it, or give it for free if I dont need it. I wouldnt say yes I got it but you cant have it as that seems a bit mean. I tend to just say good job everybody and leave if that's the case. 😊

FierceSam

If you say you’re looking and I don’t need it, I’m happy to let you have it. If you say beforehand you’re doing a farm run, I might join you and help. I’d say the best way to farm for stuff without your friends will be to go help a bunch of other people farming. Chances are they’ll be happy to help you out.

If you spy on my loot before I’ve even looked at it (cos I don’t until the end) and send me demanding whispers... chances are I’m going to blank you.

Not everyone you don’t know in a dungeon is going to respond to you. They don’t all respond to a “hello”. Some appear so frightened of their group mates they run off as fast as possible. But their loot is their loot. It’s not yours. No matter how much you want it.

Aisleyne

I fully support cooperation and sharing gear you don't need with your teammates, but I feel like this is a little bit of an overreaction. If people leave without saying anything at the end of the dungeon they either didn't get what you were looking for, wanted to keep the drop for themselves, or never saw chat. None of these things are anyone's fault or necessarily unreasonable. I understand being aggravated by rng while you're trying to farm something, but try not to be frustrated by your teammates because more likely than not their silence wasn't any kind of slight against you.

Hyporis

Thats why i love playing on console instead of PC. No Addons for whatever imaginable sh*t.
In PUGs I dont care what others looted and its nobodys business what i looted.

If wants something specific loot i go with friends or guildies and communicate with them before.

People might have a legit reason for not trading with you, and, online, people are rude in ways they never normally would. All has to do with not being able to see how their behavior affects you, they think of you as an object not a human being. If I am looking for something I ask at the start, and after it's all done. If nobody wants to trade or answers I just don't worry about it.

I do use an add on that allows me to see what drops for other members of my group. When looking for gear, not jewelry or weapons, if nobody has gear items I am looking for in divines I don't ask again, not interested in gear that doesn't have traits I don't want. I only transmute if I absolutely have to like jewelry so I always get my gear with divines.

I have decent gear currently, it's actually really good gear, so I'm in no hurry to farm pieces of other gear I want to try out. I'm not good enough or have a high enough CP to do the content I need to for the gear I want end game, so It's not a big deal. There are really good overland sets, and crafted sets to use until you are able to get all the pieces of dungeon gear you want.

Personally, I always try to help people who ask for gear, and I hope they treat me the same but it's not a big deal at all. If I see someone has a specific item in divines I am looking for, I whisper them and ask them if they need it and if not I offer to buy it, that helps sometimes.

It depends on the group but in general I am pretty positive about trail farm runs, one guy gave me a Lokkestiiz 2H axe which is pretty difficult to get.

TeamSeinfeld

I always type at the beginning of the dungeon and type a reminder right before final boss of what I’m looking for. Beyond that, I have zero expectations. All comes down to common courtesy and time constraints for people. Just because I always make time to link what others are looking for or type ‘sorry didn’t get it’, I don’t count on the return favor. But every now and then, I get very pleasantly surprised!!

We live in a time where's more than plausible to be rude to others.

The problem in farming trial gear is that everyone in the group is probably looking for the same stuff that you are...

CMDR_Un1k0rn

Here's what I do. I link all my loot.

I then send a message saying exactly what I won't be giving away... For free that is.

Here's the blunt truth. If it isn't in your inventory, it is not yours. You have no automatic right to that item. Ask nicely, and see what the owner (who isn't you) says. If they say no, then offering gold is fine. They may still say no. Again, until the item is in your inventory, you get no say in its fate.

Surprisingly, (though it really shouldn't be surprising), my honesty with players actually works in my favour, in the long run. And everyone else's too.

Being nice gets you far in life.

If you ask at the beginning and NOT the end, then I think that's more on you. I often forget after 20-30 minute dungeon what was said at the very beginning. It's a great idea to remind people RIGHT before the final boss.

I do not ask at the end, I ask before.

Did you misread anything? Never did I say that those people had what I was looking for and never offered to give it up. The whole point of this post was saying when you tell the group what you're looking for at the beginning of the dungeon and one person or noone acknowledges you, and at the end you ask again and literally they leave group without saying anything.

Bro I'm starting to think a lot of you guys don't read anyone's post in its entirety and just see one trigger sentence and start writing. What I'm saying is if I say hey I am looking for this gear set, can you please look out for it especially if you don't need it. If you don't care to help just say so at the beginning of the dungeon! Instead of leaving at the end of the dungeon not saying anything. Nowhere did I say I was guaranteed people's drops. However it would be a nice system to implement to be able to pick up a drop that the other player does NOT care to pick up. Saving you time on having to gear farm! I don't expect anyone to Sell/Decon items in their inventory to make space for what I need. As a community I'm asking for common courtesy!
