.. Where is my stamina weapons?? Maybe I should equip a staff before I enter the portal to the chest, since it seems like it gives the opposite of what you are wearing.
How many times do you guys get a staff before a sword? I am wondering if the drop rate are actually lower, or if I am just unlucky.

✭They should change it to a token and a shop, but then people would stop running it when they got what they wanted and then yell at the dev's for more contents.
Since they have no new contents to release until Sep 2015, they will keep forcing you to grind trials and vDSA.Edited by Natjur on April 13, 2015 12:37AM4 -

✭✭✭✭✭Doesn't matter what you have equipped. This past week I got a 2H, sword, Rstaff and Dstaff. All from vet DSA and all on the same character.0 -
idk✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭With that I've only gotten ice staffs for damage and cannot get a dagger. But that's life. Glad we don't have to deal with tokens. Would probably be a lower drop rate of they went that direction.Edited by idk on April 13, 2015 1:43PM0 -
Drasn✭✭✭✭Over the last week I pulled a Dagger(precise), Resto Staff(precise), Fire Staff(precise), Sword(infused)x2. All on a bow wielding NB.0 -
Jaerlach✭✭✭There's a player in my guild who is a bow specced nb with the best dsa score on the server and more runs than anyone and he can't get a precise bow. Every time someone gets a precise bow we link it for him
He doesn't like us much.
He probabl has 400 clears of dsa.Jaerlach Kesepton (DK)

And why exactly should it be lower? Program it to give each person doing the run a token, do them enough, you collect enough to get what you want instead of zip 500 times. Problem solved.0 -
~30 combined DSA runs and I have rolled 3 daggers, 1 inferno staff, 1 ice staff, 1 bow. The only trait i don't like is charged on 1 of the daggers. All about luck imo. Plan on staying frustrated until they come up with new content lol.I only came to melt faces; I leave the whining to the rest of you.0 -
Cyhawk✭✭✭As of last night my Master weapon count is:
11x Lightning
10x 1h Sword
10x Dagger
1x Greatsword
1x Resto
0x Fire
0x Frost
0x Bow
Random is random. It sucks, but its random. I say a point system where you can buy the one you want would be a better system though.Edited by Cyhawk on April 13, 2015 2:35PM3 -

✭✭✭✭They definitely need a token system or something similar. IMO, after 20-40 or so successful Vet DSA runs, you should be able to get the master's staff you want with the trait you want. I'd even be okay with the token only allowing you to purchase the V13 version, and leave the V14 version as loot drop only.V16 Uriel Stormblessed EP Magicka Templar(main)

Blade_07✭✭✭✭I have not had the opportunity to do these runs so I would be stoked as hell to get a master weapon as I have never ever got a master item drop.“Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope.”0 -

True but it's not just that. Random interval reward schedules are the skooma of online games...lots of online games.
It's fair and unfair....fair in that, theoretically, everyone has the same chance every time. Unfair in that it's tuned to the addictive behavior it encourages. The more people grind things the lower the odds have to be.
So many systems must be tuned to the addicted players, from dungeon drops to the rate of gold enchantment material drops from refining.
It's no a knock on the players who put in time. It's just the reality of the genre. But it requires a level of commitment that limits the audience for these sorts of games.0 -

It's not my original concept. It's been used in MMORPG titles for years. Zenimax Online Studios is just really behind on making this game worthwhile even when it's free after initial box cost. No one wants to farm dungeons for months or years to get one piece of gear.
The loot/reward system in this game is complete and total garbage. Even f2p titles have better drop/luck systems than this machete'd mash up. Beating elite bosses in dungeons shouldn't be rewarding green items. As a gamer, that's pretty insulting.0 -

We should be able to trade. I've gotten dozens of stamina weapons and almost no magicka weapons...May knowledge guide you to enlightenment0 -

✭✭Bordelands pre sequeel, have a machine that you can take 3 weapons and destroy them into one weapon. It should be something like that. I could destroy 3 of my staffs, and get a random new master weapon. .. or ofcourse the token thing you guys are talking about, seams really nice. Like to hear everyones drop experience btw.
Other fun fact info: I got skoria helmet 2 times in 15 runs from COA.PC, EU server, Ebonheart Pact
