Token system

keoma01 · October 2016

This game needs a token system seriously. Right now i consider this game unenjoyable, unplayable. I don't waste my precious time anymore to loot light training undaunted euipment when i need heavy impenetrable.
I would like to do PvP but going to Cyrodil is only a theoretical possibility because i have to waste all my time in dungeons. It doesn't make sense.

It was mentioned a few days ago by someone here. I think it would be great, since it cuts back on time being wasted and lets us focus on getting the items we want instead of relying on RNGeezus.

The sad thing is by the time ZOS gets off their high horse on this subject - it will be too late for many in their player base.

True. Token system is the best.This rng stupidity is mad.

Ita been asked for many many times here. I made a couple poll threads and a big topic thread on the idea 4-5 months ago. The devs know we ask for it. By implication of how they have continued development, they have basically ruled it out. They clearly want rng, but they have done some nice things in 1T that make the grind a little more barable. I like knowing where to go to get the kind of piece I want even if I have to still play the lottery with 2 other sets and all the traits.

IMHO, RNG system is flawed and therefore, there should be a new one to rectify that.
Take vMA for example, most stam players want sharpened dagger/axe/bow but only the lucky and the extremely dedicate (+luck) get those weapons. However, make it so that you can trade an unwanted weapon for 1 token and a weapon of your choice costs 50 tokens. Don't have to make it easy. Just prevent people from reaching insanity.

Totally agree. Wish they would. I've just lost hope that they even have it on the table.

Definitly token system.

I'm not a fan of token systems. If you want the perfect exact stats, stick to Crafted.

Looted traits should remain random and no one should be guaranteed that they can get perfect stats on looted gear.

This game definitively does need a Token System as soon as possible. Like I said many times in these forums, RNG has gotten crazy in One Tamriel. It is an endless grind.

At least give us Tokens for vDSA and vMA. Worst RNG in the game. Some people will never get the weapons they want at the current state of the loot tables in there.

We need a change fast.

This subject comes up every few weeks.

I agree a token system (or point system ala Valor Points in WoW) should be implemented. The huge number of traits coupled with the huge amount of different sets makes this RNG really, really ridiculous.

The thing is, ZOS seems to think if we don't have extreme RNG, we won't grind and we'll stop playing the game.

Their thinking is awfully flawed as it's the complete opposite. Running something 200+ times and STILL not having what you are after is what makes people quit...

I don't care if every piece of gear takes 50 tokens and you get only a few per dungeon,. In the end I know I will be getting exactly what I want when I have enough.

If I only consider undaunted set and pve the current system is not necesserly wrong. I would go as far as to say it is quite good. For example for my stamina DD i got selene set with reasonable effort. The first piece is light prosperous and the second piece is heavy sturdy but it increases my dps anyway and i still have a goal to achieve: getting two medium divine.
But the situation is entirely different if I consider pvp. I joined a pvp campaign and i have zero time to play pvp because I Am forced to grind dungeons (for getting heavy impenetrable) instead of playing. For me playing means doing pvp. Right now i dont play this game, i am working without getting any salary. This game is almost like a full time job. I am working hard and maybe once in the future i will have the equipment to start playing this game. Or maybe never.
Obviously this is frustrating and i can't tolerate this much longer. We need a way to get our equipments in Cyrodil. Golden merchant doesnt matter. Random equipment once a week... Lol

So you enjoy doing 100s of runs and not getting rewarded..? Really? The problem is that some traits are insanely stronger than others and you cripple yourself using *** traits.

At least for vMA we definitely need a Token System asap. I have done so many runs/weeklies and am still missing 5 weapons I actually want. There are people that have left due to this.
