VMA on Console Post-DB...

ZOS... Bruh... You gotta do something. This is ridiculous. I'm getting hit with 9k "Shock Aura" on Stage 3, the spinning blades on Stage 2 were doing 7k-9k... Bruh... I used to be able to do VMA like nothing, back-after-back. And now? It's a struggle, even with the trash mobs. On Mac, I can deal with things a tad bit better. And have completed VMA on Mac (since DB launch). But on console? This is a nightmare.

I've done VMA over 100x combined on both platforms (PS4 and Mac), pre-DB. And didn't even mind it too much, even though the weapon drop-rate made me cringe and cuss. But it didn't feel like a chore. I could knock it out no problem, on either platform (if the bs didn't happen). But now, it's like why? Why even bother? A Creamatorial Guard hit my Templar for around 12k a few moments ago, followed by a 8k wildfire for the kill... Can you even do your own content, ZOS? Because I'd pay to see any of you developers complete VMA even once post-DB. Matter of a fact? N'ah, screw that. Complete a single stage of your choice, and show us. I'd love to see you all do it, considering a game developer should be able to beat their own content.

Because right now? The way I feel...? VMA can go screw itself. I don't have the patience to deal with something I've previously beaten numerous times, and know the mechanics to — just to get chumped by bs in attempt to make the content feel more challenging. No. That's not challenging. Making things hit harder, and making bs mechanics more bs is not how you go about doing it. No. That's lazy, and shows a lack of skill in developing hard content. That inferno staff and the other destruction staves I wanted? Forget it. I don't even want them anymore. I'm good with what I have. I'll just roll more stamina characters, for the tons maelstrom weapons I have (I have every maelstrom weapon in every trait they dropped in pre-DB, except for the destruction staves).

Oh and by the way. For those wondering? Yes. Yes I am indeed in my feelings, and very much so tight right now. I'm salty af, because ZOS didn't have to make things so bs with what was already the hardest content in the game PVE-wise (outside of VMOL). So all those people saying "L2P"? N'ah b. Learn to accept things how they are, and stop choosing to a blind-eye to what's really going on. I do know how to play, and have been playing since beta days. I've beaten VMA on 2 different platforms, with magicka and stamina builds, and have done so both pre-DB and post-DB. So before you attempt to belittle me, and flame me? Ask yourself if you've done the same, or can come close to doing so.

    Lol. You're welcome for the post, but I knew how stamina build players felt in attempting VMA since its release. I've done VMA post and pre DB on Mac with a stamina build, and on PS4 only pre-DB.

    I've nearly given up on vMA now. I highly recommend joining me!

    My reasons:
    • Lag, slow response/performance
    • Bugs
    • RNG with traits
    • No longer very fun for me thanks to lag

    I will still run vMA 1-2 times per week in order to get at least one weekly reward, but it's time to move on to content which actually functions correctly.

    Op yep the 2nd and 3rd rounds are actually hard now. I ground up a DK and Templar for this patch and took them in there and both left on round 3 after hours of raging and trying, just got my arse handed to me, shock water does 50% damage per tick and the adds just club you all at once now. Magika NB, Sorc and stam NB not an issue but these two barely made it past round 2 and failed on 3.

    Without super heals / power / shield. It is proving very very hard, and I've been on leaderboards for months with ease. Something definitely has changed.
