Yes, in a way. I'm quite interested if it will drop from vet or bought for event tickets so everyone will be able to get it.
Have no idea how I feel about it really, it would be okay if it will be granted for vet completion but it's just me liking some cosmetics to be locked (so you actually should move a finger to get something)

The style is just dewmer style, you can get that easily

Not really as they are unobtainable outside of vmsa, it supposed to be tier 5 style as ones presented at vdsa and other racial pieces that you can actually loot being white while thieving.

I wonder if this would spawn a PvE trend of having to link your staff in chat to prove you have the real thing.

You can just link the achievement. Much more fool proof because you can’t fake it. There was a time before the group finder when linking Achievements was common procedure for the harder dungeons.

Hmmm why not just add it to dwemer? Why not add all those T5 styles?

Not really anymore. vMA became a lot easier. vMA weapons gotten a lot crappier.

But bow and destro staff are still BiS

I would prefer it that way, to be honest. The only reason I care about the style at all is because... dwemer. I don't know if I'd really use it on my artificer at this point between Apostle and Engine Guardian other than maybe the mace/maul.

What I'd really like to see is the AS staff style. My healer used to use the staff, and I loved the look for her. I'm surprised they didn't bring that style out first, since there's no vet achievement tied to getting a weapon in it.

I say no.... It's like a badge of honor and feels so good to finally get one of those weapons. I was so happy whenever I got mine. A friend recently beat VMA after I encouraged her to give it a go. She was so spooked of it for so long until I encouraged her to do it. She mains heals and took the time to learn the different mechanics and spawn points. She was so happy to get Stormproof on her main. If people can't beat the content then they dont deserve the weapon or the look of it. If you complete VMA and unlock one as a bound on account motif style then fine. It's still requiring you to complete it.

This here is what's wrong with humanity. The need for people to wear so called badges of honour so they can prove they are better than those that don't yet have those badges for whatever reason. Yes, I totally understand the time, skill and patience it takes to complete vMA. I don't want nor need the vMA style motifs.

There is no need to create divides between players. We are all here for the love of eso. That is the one thing that surely unites us even when we disagree about everything else. We would not be here if we were not all playing this game.

When I see people standing around just for the sake of showing of their rare mounts or vMA weapons I see exactly what these tossers are doing cause I've seen it over and over in every other rpgmmo.As soon as these types of people get a rare pet or vet trials skin they all stand around right next to the busiest city wayshrines posing 😂😂😂😂

Completing vMA has become more about players feeling the need to prove they are worthy rather than players using it as a progression tool for self improvement ingame. The ugly side of humanity. If players have to link their vMA achievement in order to get into vet trials then this turns vMA into something sinister imo.

I know I'll get hate and ppl disagreeing with my comments but I seriously don't give a rats butt. This is my very strong opinion about what makes many gamers tick. This stupid need to compete with others rather than with themselves. When you compete with yourself you improve yourself. When you compete with others you are being driven by envy.

Let's imagine everyone had the vMA weapons then what? How are you going to puff yourselves up so you can feel you are better?

Like I said...I could not care less about vMA motifs either way. The more I see posts like this the more I wonder how long ill tolerate playing rpgmmos.

Grow up and stop being threatened by anything that might challenge your worth. When you peel your bums off your computer chairs those badges are worthless.

I saw this on PTS and it was saddening. I hope these only drop from Vet. However I really enjoy the styles so I'll look forward to collecting them. I wear Flawless on most of my characters so I suppose it doesn't matter.

Its not a rarity thing. You , comparing this weapon to crown shop mounts just shows how unaware you are, and makes me think you probably never got one yourself. VMA weapons were a symbol of how much you went through to get them, It got you respect not because ''nice looks'', but because it was a damn challange to finish vMA back in the day.

''ugly side of humanity'' oh the hypocrasy man... You don't play video games because they are morally right or politically correct or anything. You play games because they are fun and challenging, just like sports.

finishing vMA back in the day was something to be respected, and only a small portion of players were up to the task. Obviously they carried those weapons with pride of their achievement, which took time , practice and a lot of patience, and you just seem jelaous of all that.

It isn't something you pay for, Its something you EARN. Seriously, do you even understand how RPG games work in general? While other games put rare gear behind ridicilous RNG mechanics, ESO puts those kind of rewards behind challanges, which is something to be truly appreciated. Rewarding the player who improves, instead of the one who gets lucky.

Wrong eso has way lot of gear behind rng for instance vMA rng is horrendous it rarely drops destro staves and bow and special mention bsw inferno staff honestly I hate rng in vMA 1 hour of toil and then also you're dependent on RNG for the gear u want this shouldve been eliminated.

Eh, its true there is still an RNG factor but still not as bad as how mmorpgs generally handle rare loot. The bad trait issues have been solved with transmuting, which reduced grinding by A LOT. You only need to get the right type of weapon dropped now.

And once ''git gud'' enough to do vMA , its much easier in the follow up runs, since mechanical knowledge helps a lot.
