    This is the problem of rng. No computer can truly create a random order of numbers on its own. That's why shuffle on your ipod seems to like a certain band or album.

    Though to be fair, if the items coming up were perfectly spaced out, that wouldn't truly be random either lol.

    meh

    Edit you title and make it say bug, monster vendor repeating... or something along those lines. Lets get some attention on this because from what people are saying it's not suppose to repeat as it is now.

    Also update your OP if you don't mind to inform ZOS of whats up. Need a good solid thread on this to get their attention.

    At the very least they should make it so that we cannot get the same gear twice in a row. It's just frustrating for the players to wait a full week only for the same exact piece to show up. I mean it's not just the fact it's from the same set, it was the exact same helm. Not a great system.

    For magicka Nightblade dps you can go with Kena, or Nerieneth. I don't do much tanking, but if you struggle for resources Engine Guardian can help you. Bloodspawn can give you some extra resistance and increased ultimate generation.

    Nightblade is probably my least played class so I'm not a huge help here.

    Video games like eso don't have payout rate laws that can apply to them. So theoretically yes they could manipulate the rates to get players to play longer. Which would allow them earn more revenue through dlc and subs. I find it odd myself that when I go to claim awards from the pvp elite vendor the same exact set pieces would keep coming up in a row. Mathematically speaking this would be really rare. But having Alessian gloves happen three or four times in a row on two separate days tells me something is up with the rates.

    I would say yes. Random means random and the same thing can be picked again - much like a randomised songlist. Shuffle on the other hand would be different, SNG should be implemented haha.
    Then RNG system we have here is bad, really bad. The helm is the same but the other two items are different. @ZOS_JessicaFolsom Is this supposed to happen with the RNG system?

    Pretty much this ...

    Someone didn't do their tithing to RNGJeezus this past week.

    Armor mitigation is nearly 0 in PvP due to penetration. Impenetrable is the only defense out there. How would you like to walk around PvE in 0 armor, and wait once a week for 1 chance at 1 monster piece and then have that piece repeat begin to repeat. Thats what it's like, it is actually a big deal as impenetrable is the only form of defense you can get from gear.

    Here's an idea, go farm the piece you're looking for. If its a helm, all you need is a halfway good team. If its a shoulder set, you have better odds with silver and gold keys than you do with the vendor.

    The vendor is a convenience, not a replacement for dungeon running.

    You can't. Impenetrable has been taken off the loot table other than this vendor. This vendor is the single and only source of these pieces in impenetrable. That is why everyone is outraged. Once a week is all we have at this. This is the second time it's failed since it was taken off the loot table too.

    I don't know why ZOS doesn't put the Monster Helms in a rotation. That way you can get a pretty good idea of what is going to be available from week-to-week and can plan accordingly. It's not like having it random is going to make everyone login to check it out as I usually just wait until I see it on the forums anyway.

    Also, didn't ZOS mention at some point we were going to see the Divine trait on these helm and shoulder pieces? I haven't see a Divine piece yet.

    Well I'm sorry, but my point still stands. This isn't a bug, it's not a conspiracy, it's the nature of RNG.

    This is the price for having the opportunity to buy helmets outside of the dungeons, impen or not.

    Aren't the sets the same on PC and console? If it was truly RNG that would make no sense as they are completely diff servers

    We're lucky to have even gotten the monster gear in a PVP vendor in the first place. "My" PVE armor drop rate has nothing to do with your retconned charity vendor doing what RNG does. Don't start the personal attacks unless you're absolutely sure you've exhausted all other arguments.
