Make the new PvE Sets BoE

Murmeltier · September 2015

Hi,

this Thread is about how hard to get the new PvE Sets, the only Thing the PvE Players was looking for, in the new DLC.

Zos, many PvE/PvP Players are looking for the new Sets, one Reason why PvE Players was happy about this DLC too. But you made them Bind on Pickup, that means we have to farm these Sets together. Normaly BoE is better for all, so no one is forced to do the Dungeons, like the PvP Players, to get their Sets.

Some of the Sets can bought over the Tel Var Stones, but the most PvE Sets are locked behind the two new Dungeons. Normaly i would go in and farm them, but i cant because you made them so hard on VR16, that the most Groups cant beat them. I say this as a experienced VR16 Templar Healer.

I dont find enough Players, they are scared like this "No Way, we cant do it, maybe if we all VR16 Equiped". But that not solve the Problem, you make the Dungeons too hard. How should normal Players get their Undaunted Helmet from them, how can we farm the Sets if no one wants to do it on VR16.

We dont talk about trained Guildgroups, because not every Player have the Chance to run with them. And i am sure, they have Problems too. No, we talk about the most Players in Game, the Casuals. How they can farm this Sets, or Helmets?

You let the whole Community wait for Months for new Content, because you start the Console Launch, np. Then you offer a PvP DLC, and the only PvE Aspect you locked behind two Dungeons, where the most cant farm the new PvE Sets. And if we look back, we all know it can be a long Way before you see and Change this. That means, all the PvE Players, and the PvP Players who like the new Sets from the Dungeons, can wait a Long Time before they can reach their Goals.

But i have waited long enough for this damn DLC, and now i have to wait more and more before you move, Zos?

I could say many Things about your new DLC, from Stamina Debuff to the Zergmechanics in IC, but i try to stay Focused on the Sets. I am only one Player, i could say i leave the Game because i dont want to wait for Weeks, but i dont want to leave. I like this Game but you made some Mistakes with your new DLC, that hits the PvE Players too hard, for nothing.

So, Change this Sets to BoE, you can do this fast. If not and you want to adjust the Difficulty on the new PvE Dungeons, you should do it fast. I dont think you will make the most Players happy, if you let them wait for too long. It is very Frustrating that you lock the only PvE Part of the new DLC behind a Level, that the most PvE Players cant reach.

BoP should never be in a game.

The drop rates need fixing

splat71 · September 2015

Yes to making the sets BOE and yes to fixing the drop rate. The current setup is creating frustration with the people I know. There's a lot of really great stuff with IC but there's also a lot of crucial details that have in my opinion been messed up. This would be such an easy item to fix.

Unless your handing out wabbajacks(which I'm against unless there just trophies)nothing in this game is even worthy of BOP.and for the love stendarr after 130 pledges can I finally get a skoria pc?

I consider this a bug. They promised that gear from DLC would be tradeable.

I hope it's not indented. All the best sets, like 12 different ones, including new helms, are in PvE land. They also come with low droprate, crappy rng and random traits.

I assumed this was a PvP update mostly. But I'm apparently supposed to farm PvE dungeons for 8-12 months of horrible rng, to get a complete set of anything nice in 2.1. It sucks.

For sure, some stuff should be BoP, like the new monster helms. But not every single new piece of new dungeon equipment! You cant even trade or need/greed the loot within the group in ESO, unlike many other MMO's. All you have to rely on is your own *** rng.

So, yesterday was the Daily Gold in the Imperial Prison. I tested the whole Day with different Groups and Difficulty Level. My Goal was to conquer a Helm or find a Setpiece.

First Scene, Daily Gold VR16 Veteran Mode (VR16 before the Mob in normal Mode, dont means it is a Vetran Mode)) -

I have had 6 Runs in the Imperial Prison, with Different Players, all of them was VR16. The most of them knows their Classes, and played good. We wiped at the first Boss again and again, we was near to kill him but we wiped. End of Story here, some Comments from all the Players - "Impossible", "Insane", "WT*

".....the best one was "FRUSTRATING".

"Frustrating", that is what the Players are if they try to make the Gold Daily in the Imperial Prison, to farm the Helmet or get some Setpieces. A whole Day only for frustrating Results. We died, and stand up, died and so on. We tried to learn and adapt but we get smashed, without a Chance.

Next Scene, Daily Gold in at VR1 Veteran Mode.

Our Group was fine, all VR16 and we all knows what to do. We go in and fight our Way till we hit the Poison Pool, where the Boss raises Flesh Atronarchs. This damn Things hits you for around 200k if they goes enrage. We tried to kill the Adds with the Slimesynergie, we tried to kill the Flesh Atro but we wiped again and again.....till the whole Group ragequits. This damn Run was on VR1! and we was all VR16, and experienced Players. Oh Man, the whole Group was really pi*** off.

Next Scene, Imperial Prison on Normal on VR16.

Absolutley ok, it was a fine Run. The Group was al VR16, knows what to do, absolutley ok. No Setpieces, no Helm ....."Suprise, Suprise"

...

Last Scene, i was hot for the Setpieces, frustrated that i couldnt find a Group for VR16 or wipe again and again, if i have found a Group. I start the Plan to go in at normal Modus, to grind the damn Mobs alone, till i hit the first Boss. Shortcut, i killed Tons of Mobs on VR16 in the normal Mode.....no Sets :'( .

So, i am an experienced Player, i have a damn good Set and the most Groups was good too, no Chance to see the Light at the End of the Tunnel. No Chance to find a Group that wants to try it again after they wiped there, because they are FRUSTRATED.

It is ok that the Level of Difficulty is hard, so we learn it through playing and testing, but this was only a frustrating Experience without a good End.

This is the only real PvE Content, with some good PvE/PvP Sets in there and you locked us out. If the Idea is, that only some Hardcore Guildgroups can solve this PvE Content, you will lock out the other good Players from having a Chance to get their Equip.

I dont say it is impossible but this Difficulty will wreck a lot of good playing Groups, and it isnt interesting if a Handfull of Players get their good End, we want it all, we worked for it. It feels like Sanctum for four Players, damn it is only a Daily Gold and not Sanctum II. Maybe you give us some real Trials for 12 Players, and try not to hide them in the Daily Golds.

P.S. Zos, do you know how motivating it is to wait Months for a little bit new PvE Content and Sets, then you set up the Difficulty to high and we all know we can wait....and wait, before you decided to do anything. Maybe Weeks, maybe Months....this is very frustrating too.
