Public dungeon Full of people

teladoy · February 2017

Since weeks i'm in the Public Dungeon of Rivenspire trying to get a Necropotence one hand sword/ dagger with sharpened trait and the last weeks i've noticed a large increase of players to the point to whenever i move inside of the dungeon all mobs, boses, everything is empty and taken. The only option is stay in one spot and try to control the boses who are nearby.

Is very frustrating how the grinding system to get a set has become really a bad experience overall. The drop rates are not so bad as when you get an item with a stupid trait, so at least, it should be nice grind without have to run desperate from one point to another to kill a boss before a bunch of players do it in 1 second.

Is this intended by zos or is something they have in mind to review?

It's a desired set so of course people are going to be in there trying to get it just like you are. It's intended.

It's a... public dungeon. Of course there will be other people in it.

You can kill world bosses and delve bosses for this loot too. Small chance for weapons at dolmens also

they are always crowded there, plus its a good spot for heavy sack farming… boom

Yeah I'm probably in the minority....but this is why I dislike public dungeons.

Some guy in town tells you there are these caverns that have been shunned for a hundred years no one dares go there but rumor has it a great magical sword is hidden within.

You get there and there's sixty people bunny hopping through the caves and some dude selling T-shirts at the entrance.

This is why I think more of these dungeons should be instanced.

@Sigtric You fib. No chance for weapons at dolmens.. dolmens are jewelry. Weapons at World Bosses

Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt

I do miss the days when the Rivenspire Public Dungeon was empty. But I have not had issues getting all the bosses on the last two characters I took through there. One just ran the dungeon in big loop and got all the bosses and the quest done in one lap. The last one I took through I had to spend some time backtracking.

No...weapons DO NOT drop from Dolmens.

All of the dungeons are over run with players hunting gear and more likely furnishing plans for crafting. Certain dungeons are more crowded because they have more urns, backpacks, desks, etc that drop housing mats and plans. It's a bit annoying but we'll just have to live with it in this new T1 age. Personally this one still likes T1 despite the over crowding at inconvenient times.

The Weapons are dropping from the Dolmen Bosses, not the Chests. Just like World or Dungeon Bosses can drop Weapons, so can Dolmen Bosses.

That's what happened.

I've also gotten overland set weapons from regular trash mobs before, so farming anything is plausible.

Some people is very smart here. I know the meaning of public dungeons, but there has to be a maximum of people at the same time in. Right now is like take a train in China...

casparian · February 2017

Set weapons can drop from enemies at Dolmens just like they can drop from any enemy in the zone -- it's just that, as for regular enemies, it's a very small chance.

Somebody made a Mag Sorc Pet Build Video and it got even more popular with the Pet buff.

It's a new Meta, lol

I understand the frustration with the grind system. I just took a two month break after 1T was released because every single Dolmen, WB, Dungeon and Delve had throngs of people just waiting for them to respawn.

But you kind of did pick to make a pet build right at the wrong time.

The only thing you can really do is on of two things:
If you are a good NB or Sorc you can find the mob of players and get ahead of it. (Sorc and NB can pass through the trash mobs more easily than DK and Templars)
If you aren't really good or have a DK or Templar you have to follow the mob of players and hope you get a few shots in before they kill the boss in 5 seconds.

I need a Necropotence sword or dagger with sharpened trait. I play in EU PC , please contact me if anyone has one that wants to sell.

Without 1T all the high level players would be in a couple of zones, making them even more crowded.

Do you think some are people looking to hoard Pet related armor, for oh I don't know...MORROWIND and maybe a new Pet class especially if you have a Guild store or sell on one? Warden... I cannot believe no one mentioned it.
