    So sad.

    Like I said, I am willing to work toward a win, but when its actually impossible, what's the point?

    Whatever, no worries. The same way I paid 300k gold for my Kena helmet, ill pay real United States currency for my Maelstrom weapons and Stormproof title. Ill just bring a ringer over to my home and he can sit in my chair and play vMSA on my character while I kick up my feet and relax.

    I always get my way. o:)
    Impossible? Doesn't seem like you're willing to work enough.

    Go ahead, I won't stop you. But I'll repeat. People expect to get everything handed to them - so sad :)

    Well, give us checkpoints and maybe i'll clear a new stage after tons of effort. With the constant threat of a d/c forcing you to start over, who can even concentrate with that stress?

    Bored trolls can keep working me into a corner but ill just keep outmaneuvering you.

    ZoS the corporate entity LOVES guys like you. Why should ZoS ever come in a thread to debate the merits of their product, when all you boys love playing devil's advocate in every thread.

    And you boys dont even realize when youre being counter-trolled. Pretty sad. But now that you've derailed the thread by personally attacking me, you can go derail another, kthxbye

    And has the cheek to call other people's achievements illegitimate, you my friend deserve a cookie

    I remember an old diablo clone game... I think it was called sacred or something, doesnt matter.
    In that game anyone who tried to use cheat codes, was marked with pink bunny ears and tail. Nice idea imo. :D

    that is amazing lol,

    In this case it shouldnt give "Stormproof" title, it should be something like "Wallet Warrior". And it should be rainbow-colored and shiny, and always be visible on your chars. :p

    Wallet Warrior is for people who pay $180 a year for a sub when you can buy all the DLC separate for about $80 a year.

    And with my ESO plus membership I get all the DLCs, I make an active choice to support the game I enjoy playing, I'm also still sat on 22,700 crowns and I've never bought anything that's just from subscribing,

    All for the low price of about £80 a year, wanna try again?

    Hi everyone, it's fine to debate but please keep the discussion civil, and any criticism constructive. Some of the posts in here are a bit heated.

    Do you think it might be helpful to actually address the original concern instead just policing us? LMFAO @ZOS_AlanG

    He's a forum mod though he's not a developer. How can he fix the concern? When the devs did comment on VMA they said it was perfect and their work was flawless so we just need to adapt. A laughable response but it's the one we got.

    Except they didn't say anything of the kind, only that the difficulty was where they wanted it.

    Which is exactly what I stated. The difficulty is where they wanted it aka the work is flawless and needs no adjusting. Sometimes i think you comment just to hear yourself talk

    Exactly what you said was "it was perfect and their work was flawless so we just need to adapt".

    What was actually said along with a host of other fixes, changes and improvements was:

    It could be that I comment to "hear myself talk" whatever the hell that means on a forum.....or it could be because someone has to fight all the abject ignorance being thrown around here and the devs/mods can't pick sides.

    The vast majority of people rocking perfectly itemized monster sets have already had vMSA on farm.

    @Ezareth By perfectly itemized I assume you mean all the Sturdy and Well-Fitted monster sets I have in the bank :) If that's the case consider me elite.

    I must say anyone rocking 2pc Monster set is likely using S&B or DW anyway to compensate, unless they forgo a 5pc bonus some place.

    Unlike the Kena helm, you're going to find the taste of disappointment in your mouth if you ever do get that staff.

    If you're throwing money away on titles....don't stop at Stormproof. Flawless Victor is the only PvE title worth sporting at this point.

    You have me mixed with someone else. I work days, and play very early mornings (around 4am actually) I am in Cyrodiil 95% of the time, and the other 5% is in Wrothgar turning in Writs or running the gold pledge. I am NEVER or Very Rarely in zone chat outside those areas I just mentioned.

    The bottom 5% are the loudest.

    Year ago, I don't recall the fat kid playing in right field crying to the umps about nerfing the game but back then kids understood they had to work hard to get out of right field. Under today's social norms, all you kids would be placed in right field for the sake of fairness. That's the problem right there....whether we talk about a video game or real life situations.

    Cool, thanks Alan.

    I would like to reinforce an idea that was suggested in a parallel vMSA thread. Don't take a hammer-nerf to vMSA, but a scapel-nerf. Watch a bunch of casuals play vMSA and adjust certain troublesome attacks or mechanics accordingly.

    Right now I am getting brick walled. How can I grind/farm something I can't even beat once? Its like asking me to jump over a 40 foot wall. I simply can't do it. Most of the frustration I have comes from these simple facts:
    1) I was extremely excited for vMSA
    2) vMSA is ridiculously hard, especially in comparison to normal
    3) I would have played a balanced arena all day every day. Instead I give it a real shot every 20-30 cp, and when I dont improve at all, its another round of rage.

    I am very QQ about this.

    Other than bugs....it's ZOS' opinion that vMSA is for elite players and not casuals so it's serving its purpose.

    I haven't finished it either but that's fine with me.

    I think the real concern of the thread are ways to find comparable loot and not at all a concern with vMSA

    What ideas do you have or what have I overlooked that existing content could provide.

    What ideas do you have or what have I overlooked that existing content could provide.

    You can actually get all of the V16 armor just by running the first few rounds (or however many you can complete). The rings and neck you can get from normal mode if you'd like to complete a certain set.

    The weapons are difficult to acquire but in the end they are minor improvements if any for a host of previously mentioned reasons.

    Just remember when it gets nerfed which Ofcourse it will eventually everything does, and you finally get your completion just remember you failed to do it pre nerf and had to complain on the forums that it's just to hard and all the bigger kids on the PC have got it soooo much easier.

    Then you will have to start a new thread asking for the new content to be nerfed while we enjoy running said new content and have fun :wink: I look forward to your next thread and to see what your insulted by next, I'm hoping it brings me some laughs just like this one :smiley:

    If you farmed every weapon, its not challenging and you stop playing it.
    If you can't beat it, and theres no checkpoint system, you stop playing it.

    For the handful of people for whom it is the perfect challenge with the perfect balance, congrats, maybe the five of you can tell us how awesome your experience was.

    Edit: Even Deltia could only beat it with a mag dk on pc with 501 cp and Maelstrom staves he farmed on his NB or sorc. This is ZoS' golden child and he needed ALL THAT CIRCUMSTANCE to clear. Wow.

    Um, is this supposed to be intimidating? Like I said, I dont even like vMA, so I dont care about its difficulty. Of course its going to be nerfed, just like anything else in this game... Sanctum, DSA, IC dungeons... But a new trial is going to be really interesting. I expect a ton of QQ threads. :p
    Oh, and btw - youre the one who failed in vMA, right?

    Ah, typical "haha you've been trolled" response. You should be more creative. ;)
    Besides, trolling = derailing, so you just admitted that you derailed your won thread.

    Our case has been made. This thread has contributed to ZoS' metadata, and it no longer serves a purpose. When vMSA is inevitably nerfed in some form or fashion, just remember that you failed to stop it. You personally, Koshka. You failed.

    Um, is this supposed to be intimidating? Like I said, I dont even like vMA, so I dont care about its difficulty. Of course its going to be nerfed, just like anything else in this game... Sanctum, DSA, IC dungeons... But a new trial is going to be really interesting. I expect a ton of QQ threads. :p
    Oh, and btw - youre the one who failed in vMA, right?

    No it was supposed to lure you into responding, which was successful. Thats what trolling is all about, Charlie Brown.

    You guys really are too easy you should get better game going. Too busy being LEET i suppose.

    The bottom 5% are the loudest.

    Year ago, I don't recall the fat kid playing in right field crying to the umps about nerfing the game but back then kids understood they had to work hard to get out of right field. Under today's social norms, all you kids would be placed in right field for the sake of fairness. That's the problem right there....whether we talk about a video game or real life situations.

    To quote the "Elite" to whom you keep referring, "Git gud kid"

    You're right and wrong at the same time. How cool is that? You're analogy is spot if we're talking about real life. But we are not. We are talking about a video game. A game that makes money from Crown goodies and DLCs. So the OP has a point. Why should he pay for a DLC where end game content is too hard for him? He's got a choice to make. To spend his money or not.

    I will reiterate it, though. A lot of frustration would be alleviated if there was a save mode. You would have much more people working at vMA.

    There are some other suggestions that would help, too. But I'm sure the top 2% would argue against them. Those would be to have a small chance for a v16 Mael weapon to drop from normal mode. Or..they could tone down Vet a bit with the next DLC. Most of those who wanted the "elite" challenge will be done with it by then.

    So sad.

    Like I said, I am willing to work toward a win, but when its actually impossible, what's the point?

    Whatever, no worries. The same way I paid 300k gold for my Kena helmet, ill pay real United States currency for my Maelstrom weapons and Stormproof title. Ill just bring a ringer over to my home and he can sit in my chair and play vMSA on my character while I kick up my feet and relax.

    I always get my way. o:)
    Impossible? Doesn't seem like you're willing to work enough.

    Go ahead, I won't stop you. But I'll repeat. People expect to get everything handed to them - so sad :)

    Well, give us checkpoints and maybe i'll clear a new stage after tons of effort. With the constant threat of a d/c forcing you to start over, who can even concentrate with that stress?

    Bored trolls can keep working me into a corner but ill just keep outmaneuvering you.

    My thoughts: 90% of what is wrong with VMA is a class balance problem. So far I have:
    - V16 Redguard Stam Sorc, all gold mostly best in slot gear: 23 attempts, 0 clears
    - V15 Khajiit Stam Templar, best in slot (2 patches ago) v14 gear: 4 attempts, 0 clears
    - V16 Argonian Magicka Sorc, V16 purple gear far from best in slot: 2 attempts, 1 clear
    - V16 Argonian stam NB, V16 all gold mostly best in slot gear: 15 attempts, 1 clear
    Note that only clears I have are on Sorc and NB. The one time I did get a complete on my NB was because I switched to my magicka sorc gear and ran as a magicka build.
    I attribute these two clears to having the ability to maintain constant mobility and shield stack heals, while still being able to parse above average dps and burst. Not saying it is impossible to do on stamina as I have progressed each time I have done it on my stam sorc, but the learning curve is a lot higher than it is on magicka NB and magicka Sorc.

    The other 10% I find wrong is just bad design. Instead of adding more difficult mechanics like they did with VDSA, they took the easy road and just ramped up enemy health and damage. So now trash mobs that you can face roll in normal will one-shot you in vet. Couple that with the inability to zoom out on stages like 2 and 4, it becomes impossible to see what every mob is doing, causing a lot of deaths to come from just dumb ***!

    So as it stands now with the class imbalance, the bugs, and the what seems like poor design, I am with a lot of other. I will probably quite running it on anything but my magicka sorc, and just run it until I get the weapons I need. Then I am done with it. Feels like kind of a waste of content!
    Dinosaur Chicken Nuggets - Argonian mNB Tank/Heals (PVP)
    Strawberry Semifreddo - Dunmer mSorc DPS // Sunny D-Light - Breton mTemp Heals
    Peanut Butter Sandwich - Orc sDK DPS // Kellogg's Frosted Flakes - Argonian mWard Tank/Heals (PVE)

    Perhaps if you spent less time whining and trolling on the forums, and more time actually playing the game, perfecting your tactics in vMSA. You'd beat it.
