VMA crash!?!?

this is seriously starting to *** me off, not to mention the fact that some arenas are complete laggy (2nd mostly) but on the ice stage, after 8 deaths (still getting the hang of this stage and its my most hated) i was one single hit away from killing the boss and being done with the most BS one of all and guess what? Zeni F#*%@ me bad and just closes the game. like this *** isn't stressful enough!

Welcome to VMA. Don't fret it's getting fixed in June. I had it earlier on round 7, Wamasu killed me 4 tines, either an invisible impending storm or the impending storm made the poison nodes invisible to me, add that to the snare now makes you cast and attack slower for some stupid *** reason I just quit. Cba to grind it anymore for a shite bow or 2h sword anymore, it's all I ever get.

Round 5 now seems to have given Matriarch Run a teleport ability to, smashes the platform and bam she's right in front of you with a mermaid thing and a troll behind her preventing you from attacking them. Epic times.

ok is all good now, i did it

DRXHarbinger · May 2016

Good work. Now wait for that Wamasu to make you rage. If sorc just overload the *** thing and be done with it. Not needed for the last boss on that round anyway, hate that thing.

yeah looking forward to it.. taking a 5 min break before i pull my hair out haha, near my first ever complete

ButtersEP · May 2016

Lol ya the lag is real, last Saturday I should have had a Flawless run, died once at the flame knight at 8.4, ward was up and she kind of twitched twice, looked like she punch herself in the head and I insta died.

DRXHarbinger · May 2016

Also for lag lolz anyone had a ruck with nerenith lately? When he grabs the sword and raises you in the air he proper spazzes out flapping back and forth. Really weird crap going on lately.

itzeffect · May 2016

*** luck hahah, I'm hoping it all goes smooth from now till i finish, i know, I'm naive

Nope. Round 6 is lag free and it's fine, round 7 is the worst, round 8 is again perfectly lag free and round 9... well it seems to me rounds 1-4 are bad, ash titan round is sort of ok and the last boss is either full *** or perfectly fine. Rumour has it if you kill the last boss on super lag and 3.76 fps mode you get a guaranteed sharpened inferno staff drop... just a rumour though.

Veteran Maelstrom arena

Senaxu · May 2016

xD i have to go VDA soon i guess.

Well to the problem in MSA: there are more bugs than enemies in there. i do that 7 times in a week with all my alts and get fast through there but still so many problems laggs ect. the bug where yo ucant interupt the casting mages in stage 8 ruined 2 of my no deathruns. i could talk forever about this topic but zenimax doesn't care about. so why whine after 100 runs and still no sharped flame staff. i can imagine that more players have that issures.

not unless you are geared to the teeth and have no will to live, you don't

AOECAPS · May 2016

Why are you guys talking about? VMA is working as intended they added the lag to artificially make it more difficult than it is lol. Place is a joke anyways I normally don't complain about rng but that place lol it seems if you're Stam you're going to get staves and if you're magic bows and weapons. I quit running that POS after my last 6 runs were nothing but glory or hunt pieces with ZOS sending me a post it note from the leaderboard rewards with F you written on it with the same stages I've picked up every week off the leaderboards and the op sword and board.

unfortunate to hear more people giving up.. they need to fix it, a small chance at any weapon that might not even be the weapon you need.. that probably won't even have the right trait is not worth all the hours of work it takes.. i have been in here half the day and still not done it and to be honest i am not expecting to even get anything from it. so sad

itzeffect · May 2016

I GAVE UP, way too many things at once. the stupidity of the dps needed is only matched by the amount of hps needed, yes some can infact do this but for something that gives weapons that are need to make most end game decent builds, it should be a tad easier no? till another day, goodbye

Once you beat it a few times you will have it on farm, it definitely does not need a nerf. If this is your first clear be glad you can save your progress as what a head banger it was when you had to start all over. The lag just needs to be fixed...

AOECAPS · May 2016

Yea agree it doesn't need a nerf if they fix the lag and stutter stepping it will be way better for people I watched a pal stream it and it was nothing but him taking 2 steps and dying on the final boss after finally getting to him after a week. I wish they kind of did what they did with wGT and prison you can get random traits but also get keys.let it be the same after 5 full runs you can open a chest or maybe pick a weapon and let the final chest still have a 50% chance of dropping a weapon.and I don't think people would be as upset if they didn't get a weapon in the final chest if most of the sets weren't complete garbage like they are now.

itzeffect · May 2016

just been at it again in an attempt to get my 2h for my stamplar, do not give up hope guys, I am now on the second last round and it's looking good from here. also if it ever starts to really frustrate you just go on youtube and watch peoples fail montages... seriously cheers me up and helps you realise even the best players have their deaths

Oreyn_Bearclaw · May 2016

This place has so many bugs that I wont even go into. I finally got around to clearing on my templar over the weekend and it was like a whole new list of things to go wrong when you are trying to play in melee range.

If I had a dollar for every time I just fell over dead in that place from a mechanic that was not visible, I could give all the hamsters running ZOS servers quite the pay raise.

Well, crossing my fingers that you are correct. I'm taking a break until it does.

I just starting work through this with my V16 Stam Nightblade and the Ice stage just plain sucks. I haven't figured out what I am doing wrong here but I find myself shivering in the cold water with the Boss laughing at me!

Yes I know more damage!

try and find the platforms that the ranged adds spawn on and stay by them so you can quickly focus them down without having to go into the water and die, it's all about learning the round and aoe damage to be honest. just spin to win with anything more than 2 adds
