Thank you ZoS

I have been stuck on stage 6 of the veteran Maelstrom Arena for six months, and stage 5 before it, stuck for two years. I ran normal today and got my lightning staff.

To everyone whining about the change, you have all been claiming how easy vet mode is and how its aaaall a L2P issue, and it probably is, but if its so easy for you, just do it again and get the perfected ones.

Thank you, also, I do feel a little dirty having got it on normal.

1. Grats on your lightning staff.
2. We don't complain about the changes, we specifically complain about drops not being updated.

Let me ask you. Imagine you would manage to finish vMA once. And drop a lightning staff. Then they do those changes. How would it make you feel?

Hyperbole. Not "all" of us have been claiming this, as you say.

It's just silly that because the creative director says so, a June 9th run of VMA gives you the normal weapons, but a June 10th run of VMA gives perfected weapons.

I dont understand why they didnt, it was certainly fine for them to nerf them all at once by removing the secondary trait, reinstating that trait SHOULD have sufficed

During the time they removed the stat weapons were able to get enchantments on, so it was actually a buff. But ye, updating all drops should have been no issue, people feel like their vet rewards are not vet rewards anymore. That feeling is not ok

Personally I will keep doing what I was doing for the last year. Run vMA weekly for a chance of a sturdy shield.
(Which I dropped a week after they announced weapons will not be updated).

The problem is in other field and not same for everyone. Some of us get better in game just because "mandatory" vma clear and such, hunt for the meta gear or doing flawless run later. Now i imagine you can just walk in and get your stuff in 20 mins and put it to rest thinking you're covered. Seriously, part of value was about getting better in game and not just having weapons gifted to you with dlc purchase.

Also new "carrot on stick" tied to old content with tons of bugs never fixed, which lots of people even hate.. questionable at least. Some of us had all 18 chars having 2-3 weapons in different traits/enchantments golded for different encounters and now it's normal weapons.

Not that we'll refarm and this is another problem - they are worthless. They had a chance to make them better and relevant. Instead they killed vAS staff, introduced worthless bonuses (lol at vma staff) and called it an update. It's like a really, really bad joke on community at this point.

It would be completely different topic if they actually went into it, made new content like hm for example, thought out bonuses for weapons that make sense and didn't nerfed things to the ground making them a decon material after all the years.
