I got 5 Maelstrom Bows in a row... what are the chances? T_T

Now if I can exchange 5 MA weapons into a choice of say weapon I want with random trait, I'll do it in heartbeat.

How was your worst luck in vMA? Share yours :tired_face:

    300 vMA runs, not a single usable weapon. Made me quit ESO.

    Worst luck: 9 Well-Fitted Helms of the Hunt in a row (yes, same item, same trait) from back when the last chest didn't drop weapons 100% of the time. However, weapons only came in good traits.

    You made my problem seem trivial T_T.
    Still, it's so frustrating and tiring.
    (didn't mean to rant guys I'm sad)

    I don't know what it is with bows, I have gotten 4 in a row now. Feels like the RNG isn't so Random but more trolling.
    My ping is higher than your resource recovery...

    I've not done 300, but I am well over 100+. I stopped getting usable weapons after all the new traits were introduced. It's frustrating as hell. Even the weekly leaderboard rewards have awful, awful traits. I get decisive, powered, charged and nirnhoned... all of which are useless on almost all the weapons.

    My worst luck was my overall experience with VMA in general. I wanted magicka-based weapons, and out of the hundreds of runs I completed — I kept only receiving stamina-based weapons. I also had an experience similar to yours' OP, where I was constantly having Maelstrom's Bows awaiting me in the final chest. I even made a thread about it, once I had had enough. The bow pushing me over the edge being a sharpened bow. I still have the pic I utilized in that thread too. And for those curious, yes. I deconstructed it, as I already have numerous sharpened Maelstrom's Bows.

    How was your worst luck in vMA? Share yours :tired_face:

    Having had streaks of the same charged weapon multiple times I would say pretty high.

    I keep getting 2 hand axes and resto staves. Don't know why I can't get duplicates of something useful. I also keep getting nirnhoned which kind of infuriates me even more since if they would not have nerfed it I would b be extremely happy about it.
