That's it, last time I'm running vMA for real

SASQUATCH0 · July 2017

I was blessed by the rng gods. Sharp/precise inferno and bow and nirnhoned lightning. Already have flawless title so I'm Never goin back in again.

Want to be significantly better at your class and increase your survivability in all content? Go do vMA. It'll make you a better player, if you have the intestinal fortitude to learn it and realize you are dying because you don't know the mechanics or are failing to execute your skills in a timely manner.

I'm so glad I stuck with it. It's very easy now, and I'm significantly better at the game. I did it at CP300 as alcast suggests. It was really hard, really frustrating...and totally worth it. The weapons aren't the only reward, your improvement is a clear benefit as well.

that s why i dont play it to grind anymore. i just take it in small stages- do 3 stages then a break, do a dungeon, then another 3, have something to eat- then finish it off. if i feel like I'm just doing it in pieces- it seems less frustrating for me for some reason. thats the only way i can get thru it. been running it now for 14 months- and not a single sharp 2hander. its now just almost an exercise in curioisity- seeing what is at the bottom of this endless pit- only to find my own soul looking at me... with a powered dagger.

Legit laughed with that last line. When you look long into the abyss... the abyss offers a powered dagger for your shame LOL

Its all RNG i only ran vma 5 times all in all and got a precise inferno, sharpen inferno and sharpen lightning.....

I call bs. Game is rigged. Meanwhile I've done 400+ clears, and in the final chest nor weekly rewards have never even seen a precise or sharpened inferno. Let alone sharpened lightning. Yet, I have multiples of every thing else. Literally everything else.

Why call BS? This is exactly how this reward system works and why its so crap. If there's someone who ran vma 400 times and got nothing of value theres bound to be someone on the other end of the bell curve who got what he wanted with barely any effort. RNG guarantees that some people will get screwed and some people will get the best rewards handed to them on a silver platter.

A video game has failed at being entertainment when it's content induces fits of rage and depression.

All I'm reading is a bunch of posts from people who don't play magsorcs or magblades.

I wish i could just complete that hell hole. Still stuck on stage 4, havent been there for few weeks so tried again the other night and i couldnt even get passed round 1 in stage 4. That place is friggin too difficult for me

Bigevilpeter · July 2017

I think now with the nerf to sharpened there are 3 good dps options instead of one so its going to ne much better than before

you just went back right after. lol. You said you just completed it and got a sword, then you said you have a bow and a staff.

hehe

Haha, I'll tell you this, if I didn't have the bow and staff (in defending and powered) I would be crying in a corner. I guess I was a slave to the race for traits, plus I still want a dagger in case that becomes viable again.

But as you all said, I will probably be back, hopefully I can keep my word and my dignity and not return but my captors are relentless. They are ruthless and convincing and I am a slave to the RNG, a sad life indeed

Nah, I get you. vMA's RNG is discouraging. I don't stress myself over vMA to be honest. I have been there numerous times, but everytime I don't set my expectations high. Less expectations = less disappointment. I go there, and "enjoy" it as much as I can. If I get a good weapon/trait then it's a happy day. lol. So far I've gotten 2 Infused Inferno and 1 precise bow (thank goodness they're not so useless next update lol). Other than that, I have all the resto staff in all traits. haha.

kill the RNG, time to get a token buy system.. and not like that more RNG Undaunted crap.

Doesn't give me any rage. It's actually quite simple now.

overclocker303b14_ESO · July 2017

It used to be that stuff just dropped in sharp, precise and defending.

While that isn't perfect it is much better than it is now. Ultimately I don't know that we need a token system for it so much as they should get the stupid stuff that 99.9% of the player base would never want (ie. a powered axe) out of the loot table.

At this point I'm hoping they will stop spending so much time fixing stuff for 'balance' every three months and start fixing things like weapons in general (vMA and DSA weapons and general set weapons included).

Done normal, simply to have done it. Vet I wont bother. I have no interest in the frustration of completing solo content like that. To have a small chance of getting something I want. No thanks. You're right, it's an mmo and the (considered) best weapons are locked behind the hardest solo content in the game.
