Adhazabi Aba-daro the Golden’s wares, October 21st-30th

ZOS_MSchroeder · October 2016

This past weekend (October 21st-23rd), Adhazabi Aba-daro the Golden, the Rare Goods Vendor in Cyrodiil, had twice as many things on offer as she usually does: two different Monster Mask offerings, and four gold-quality Jewelry offerings.

This was an error on our part; she was selling both that week’s wares, and the next week’s wares in addition. This means that this coming weekend (October 28th-30th), her wares will be back to normal – one monster mask head or shoulder piece, and two gold-quality jewelry offerings – and that those offerings will be repeats from last week.

sure you are not trolling us with the viper sting plus Velidreth combo wombo

And here I was thinking you guys took the most logical course of action given the massive increase in the number of Monster Sets with One Tamriel.

Silly me, should have known it was a mistake.

That would have been far too logical of a thing to do. Double the number of sets in the game and then double the amount available from the vendor at the same time? MADNESS!

Damn, I was hoping you finally 'beefed-up' her wares. Current selection is 'lacking' and it takes way too long to find what you want. At least quarterly she should offer EVERYTHING one weekend. I have millions and want to spend it...take my gold!

We appreciate the communication, @MSchroeder! Thanks!

Wait? What! You jump from 12 monster sets to 28 monster sets but do not increase vendor wares? Same goes for the non-monster gear. The number of sets has exploded, but you do not add more gear to vendor? The vendor was supposed to be a way to help those with bad RNG luck. But now we are likely to go years with certain items never hitting vendor.

One Tamriel was great at first, but I have lost interest fast as it became clear it is a giant grind-fest. This nerf of the golden vendor makes things even more discouraging.

What's worse:

Double dose of only stamina based items sets in one week, or two weeks of no magicka item based sets in a row?

Runs · October 2016

I was really hoping the 2x would be the new standard.

Please consider making it so.

CMON ZOS at least make them different this week!!! WTF is this BS why do you announce this today instead of last FRIDAY!

I often defend you guys but this is insanity. Consistency is the most important aspect of any business and it is even more essential for the user in technology based industries. This is egregious.

rotaugen454 · October 2016

Well, there goes 500K in gold that I managed to keep from spending last week...

So we'll be seeing repeats of last weeks items or did I not read and understand your last sentence? I would think the RNG would pick other items not what was done seven days ago. Could you please elaborate on this? Thank you and I hope you have a great weekend.

Agreed. This makes me think it's not RNG that picks the items?

They have a very scientific method to pick which items are available for sale at the vendor:
latest?cb=20061016234811

jeremiah911 · October 2016

Lol...I was actually thinking this morning at how "right" ZOS got last weeks change to the Gold vendor. Seeing as it was a mistake instead of a quality of life improvement (by introducing 2x the number of masks and shoulders) I am very disappointed.

GreatGildersleeve · October 2016

Of course it's not RNG that picks the items. I've always assumed The Golden was hand picked by ZoS. (Friday afternoon darts anyone?)

So this week we will be getting repeats of 3 of the items we had last week ? its been 5 days since vendor was up and we get to know this just hours before she is due again. nice one

This issue was your mistake not ours but yet we loose out with no new items..........seems legit.
Not rotating in another rng mix of new items is just pure lazy.

Yeah, last weekend was the first time since One Tamriel dropped that I checked what was at the golden vendor, and when I saw there were 2 masks I just said to myself "oh, well that makes sense since there are so many more monster sets in the game now, what a logical change for ZOS to make!"

Oops lol.

Yep, the cats out of the bag. Busted ZOS!

daswahnsinn · October 2016

I don't mind the one helm one shoulder selection that much but I don't want to see the exact same thing from last weekend. Now if they do a two set system they should have one stam and the other magicka, try balancing something. But seriously don't don't either on the same sets from last week. There are still sets we have only seen one of each and never again. The RNG needs tweaked.

Most_Awesome · October 2016

WOW ZOS You just took a massive dump on a quality of life feature. You do realise how many new Dungeon sets you released don't you......don't you!

Cinbri · October 2016

Why did I expected that 2x more wares was bug

jeremiah911 · October 2016

I would ask ZOS to reconsider having only one monster set in the Gold vendor since they added twice the number of monster sets in the game with 1T. It may have been the result of a mistake but you got the Gold vendor right last week!!! No reason to correct a "mistake" that should be a welcome change with all gear changes introduced with 1T.

KingYogi415 · October 2016

Run some dungeons if you want monster helmets.

Enemy-of-Coldharbour · October 2016

It would be really nice if the monster sets were actually sold in sets at once. Buying a helm one month, then having to wait eight more months for the shoulder is ridiculous.

Vaoh · October 2016

Just when you think ZOS has started using logic.....

......they make an official post on the Forums to immediately shut down the rumors

Abeille · October 2016

Oh.

I thought it was intended because of all the new monster sets...

Oh well, thanks for letting us know

Vaoh · October 2016

When bugs have more logic than the Devs....

Wollust · October 2016

How come good bugs are being fixed so fast and other crap stays in the game for months or even years?

Mojmir · October 2016

pathetic, as usual
