Infused Vendor

Why? Is it actually confirmed that all pieces are going to be infused on the PTS? I didn't believe it until I saw that all the Nerien'eth helms for sale were indeed Infused and I'm really hoping this is bugged or sheer coincidence.

If this is the case, is there a reason why that particular trait is only being sold when traits like Divines or Impenetrable are clearly more desired?

    Infused isn't the best and it's definitely not the worst. You want in now? Take infused. You want best in slot? Go out and farm it. This gives those that just can't get one to drop the chance to get the set and use it even if it's not 100% ideal.

    I'll farm the sets. I was more keen on getting shoulders...you know, those things that you CAN'T actually farm. I've already got Infused Kena shoulders from the gold key chest, I don't need the option to buy it from a vendor.

    They wanted an AP dump and a gold sink. Now there is neither.

    I can agree with this. I can't for the life of me get certain shoulders to drop, and I do both the daily gold and silver keys on multiple toons most days. Yet, try as I may, I just can't get in the good graces of RNG divinities.

    I would also prefer farm helms, but this vendor would have certainly been a convenient way to get the shoulders I need.

    @Kammakazi As I said, I'll farm the helms. I'll farm the helms all day because I love PvE. But the shoulders? It's impossible the farm those, you get 8 chances per day (and that's with 8 characters at VR)...silver chance is so abysmally low to drop I barely count them. You literally cannot farm for the shoulder piece you want.

    I nearly forgot about the vendor. Happy to see a good trait on a piece. Shame the vendor came 3 weeks late because I farmed to get a light infused helm. Oh well. I save some money this week and I eagerly await next week's offerings.

    Bah. You already got a vendor to give you helms with decent traits with no need to work for it. (Seriously, just 100K gold? You spend many times more than that on bag and bank space, FFS.)

    I'm perfectly ok with them not having BiS traits in the vendor. If you're having trouble completing the dungeons, then get better and find better groups to run with it. Join guilds, add good players that you PUG with to your contact list. Network. Socialize. This is a MMO, after all.

    It's good enough they let us buy it rather than have to farm it. I don't care that the trait is ideal, considering it is still good/workable. I just wish we didn't have a limited time a week to buy them.

    This.
    Besides, farming everything except ICP is easy even with mediocre dds, if your dps is better than "mediocre". ;) Drop rates and trait rng are awful, but if you have troubles finishing CoH for that Nerieneth helmet...

    Agree.
    I already pointed out in another thread that this vendor would not be a valid gold/AP sink.

    Two keys per day per character.
    I am swimming in shoulders. Have Kena of any weight divines. It is very easy for a dedicated PvE player to get shoulders, but you can't "target farm" a specific set.

    I should have known that when ZOS throws a bone to casuals they would only come begging for some meat.

    I'm reading a lot of people in this thread complaining about not being able to get the ideal gear easily. Yes, farming is a pain in the butt, but if it was any easier you know there would be groups of players complaining about that, too. "This game is being changed for teh casuals" sort of mindset.

    I think going with infused was a good choice. It gives you an at least useful trait for the piece. I'd take Infused over the shoulders I just got - light armor Scourger set with well fitted. Blegh.

    Would it be that hard for them to offer the helms in three different traits? Instead of just infused. Offer Sturdy, training, and well-fitted. That way everyone has a choice :smiley:
