[suggestion] maelstrom arena AP vendor at Wrothgar
boaz733
✭✭✭
same idea as the monster sets, spawn it at Wrothgar once a week to sell maelstrom weapons and sets for AP,
unlike the monster sets this vendor will spawn in Wrothgar and not at cyrodiil, to assure only people who own the DLC can access it.

GaunterODim✭✭✭✭Do you really think that by having bought the dlc and having farmed some ap in a zerg makes you worthy of getting a msa weapon?
On the one hand im really for a token system, but the weapons should still have to be earned by completing the arena, and for your desired weapon+trait more than once.

boaz733✭✭✭why force people to farm this extremely long arena?
people just wanna have a good time playing the game, and those kind of "blocks" prevent that from happening
i bet if zenimax share the statistics with us , it will show the same 100 players that are running this dung and no 1 else.1 -
Jawasa✭✭✭You can still enjoy the game with no vmsa weapons. I do it every day. I ran it maybe 15 times then i decided that i didnt enjoy running it over and over. You can still run all content without them.3 -

✭✭✭✭I'm the wrong person to ask according to some, cause I'd be fine with them dropping on normal. So yeah, a vendor isn't a big no-no for me.1 -
Qbiken✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭As I said I´m all for a token system, so it´s not about "forcing people to farm". I just think AP is the wrong way to go since it´s very easy to farm AP.5 -

Why not make it easy?
What would be the purpose with vMA rewards then? Personally I´ve never played vMA for the weapons, but for the score. If I get a good weapon then that´s just a bonus. I like the solo-aspect of vMA since I mostly play solo.
What kind of token u had in mind?
A token system that helps with RNG but doesn´t remove it completely (If I could remove RNG I would but I prefer to think in realistic solutions and since the game contains a lot of RNG based stuff, it´s not realistic to think it will be removed
):
* After each round of vMA you get X amount of tokens. Depending on your amount of deaths during the entire round you get extra tokens. Fewer deaths = More tokens.
* At the beginning of the arena there will then be 2 merhcants where you can spend your tokens. The first merchant can give you a box with the desired weapon you want, but with a random trait. The 2nd merchant can give you the trait you want, but with a random weapon.
I think this suggestion is fairly realistic to implement and gives the player more of a choice. As I said, if I could remove RNG from the game I would, but this is more of a realistic suggestion.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭But you can only use it if you've successfully completed vMA on the toon you're buying with and weapons would have to cost a lot like 3million AP. And they are bop.Edited by Vapirko on August 12, 2017 2:51PM3 -

Good ideas, @Vapirko ... and maybe add that the vendor only sells non-optimal traits like infused and defending (same as the Golden vendor).

✭✭so , while the PVEboy are farming VMSA again and again and again ... the PVPboy should be able to buy them with AP ?
it's not a problem with monster set cause dungeon are well to easy ... but it's not because you do " zerg " or " repar a wall " that you deserve to skip the difficulty of the arena .
@Vapirko i'm ok with this idea , but only if we can also buy them with gold like the monster set vendor . ( bop of course and only available if you have completed Vma at least one time )Edited by Apherius on August 12, 2017 3:27PM0 -

for PVE infused will be pretty good with Horn of the reach update.0 -
Vapirko✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Could just be one random trait weapon each weekend with the above mentioned requirements and that would still have a lot of rng involved. VMA weapons are no longer BiS, and so it's more of a preference at this point.0 -
Flowersquisher✭✭✭With the next update vma weapons won't even be BiS anymore. Still if you really want one, EARN it. SOOOOO sick of these "give me vma weapons cause I suck too much to get them" threads. It's really not that hard, spend a few hours learning it the first time, after that you'll wonder why you died so many times. Hate to say it, but please stop begging for weapons that you would know what to do with anyway!!!1 -

✭✭why force people to farm this extremely long arena?

And yet you're saying that they should be sold for AP? More people hate PvP than those that hate vMA. When they add a token system, It needs to be based on the arena, not on completely unrelated content.Edited by Tyrobag on August 12, 2017 4:12PM4 -

Why do people still default to these "earn it" arguments when discussing VMA? Anyone who wants to can complete VMA, yet not everyone who wants to can get lucky with their RNG drops for the weapon/trait they need. The "earn it" responses have truly become a crutch for the intellectually lazy who have somehow convinced themselves that VMA is still hard and that they are part of some elite few who are able to complete it.
VMA is so mind-numbingly easy and uninteresting that it isn't even funny. Everyone I know in game has completed dozens and dozens of times. Yet some of us have good weapons and some of us don't.
I'm curious: Did the person who within their first 20 runs got a Sharpened Inferno staff "earn it" anymore than the people who have run VMA literally hundreds of times without ever having one drop?Invictus

deleted008293✭✭✭✭If you can buy everything in this game then at some point nobody will ever farm anymore. Soon after ppl will stop playing because there will be no reason to get everything day one.Edited by deleted008293 on August 12, 2017 5:29PM0

Ok, so i left out the "I'm good with token system", but to be able to buy with AP??? So, some zerging AP farmer is able to buy vma weapons, are you really ok with this idea. Oh, btw i'm do not consider myself elite by any stretch, and "Intellectually lazy"; come on man, who do you think you are??0 -
Qbiken✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭It has nothing to do with how you "earn it". Look at it this way: Why should you get rewards from content you don´t want to do??
And don´t use AP-vendor as a counter argument, that´s not close to the same thing. vMA is a trial (solo-trial). No where in the game can you buy trialgear with AP.1 -
Solypsys✭✭I personally would love a token system, where you earn tokens by completing vMSA and get more for doing harder runs (low death, no upgrades, etc). Or if they would make it so one of the NPCs at the end of it will let you re-roll a maelstrom weapon in addition to having one drop in the final chest; maybe even make the "reroll option" contingent on completing it with a non-zero vitality bonus or a minimum score.0

BlazingDynamo✭✭✭✭✭No one is forcing you to farm it. Go back to pvp land if you don't wanna be bothered playing the content. Bad enough they gave you guys free monster helms. Might as well sell the trials skins for ap while you're at it.0 -

Cuz all we care about is PVP , and forcing us to run the same dungeon for over 200 times(some cases even more), is annoying as hell.

✭✭✭✭✭I seriously doubt Zos will consider selling vMA weapons via any means. The only possibility would be end of campaign rewards for those near the top of the leaderboard in a campaign because that is what used to be with Master weapons. Even then it is clear Zos has abandoned that.
Besides, a player good at PvP should do well in vMA.Edited by idk on August 13, 2017 6:24AM0 -
