✭✭Hell yes 🤩
Anything that reduces those group dungeon runs will be welcome, if I see the inside of arx once more I’m gonna be sick 🤢0 -

✭✭I'll curtail my excitement until I hear of the stupid Rapids change has been reverted or not.So they raised the floor and lowered the ceiling. Except the ceiling has spikes in it now and the floor is also lava.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Currently, acquiring transmutes in PvE is nearly pointless compared to what you can get in PvP. 50 for each end of campaign reward + a guaranteed 4 or more per day just for opening one stockpiled Rewards for the Worthy. PvE doesn't even compare currently. I'm very interested to see what changes they have to help improve the disparity.4 -

✭✭✭✭✭The number versus time needed to farm transmutes on multiple alts in PvE is really low compared to PvP, especially now that double AP is available in Cyro because of the AoE testing, so It'll be great to get more ways to get crystals in PvE.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Sounds like they are planning to move transmute crystals out of cyrodil, I wonder if it means they will get rid of cyrodil too.1 -

manwoodsal✭✭Why do they want to kept pushing more and more people into PVP to get things. IT is the fasted way to get the transmutes. We get so very little in PVE1

Ascarl✭✭✭✭✭I never understood why this is an issue. They sre easy to come by via PVP. IMHO this does not imply that this is a justification that there is an equal easy PVE way.

I disagree. You can get the same amount of crystals from doing a single 15 minute battleground from Rewards of the worthy than you can get from doing two veteran HARDMODE group dungeons. That is not a fair tradeoff, especially given that rewards of the worthy are just time in cyrodiil punchcards usually. Hell, I stopped doing daily pledges for transmutes since I farmed a year’s worth of rewards for the worthy during midyear mayhem. Trials would be a fair amount of transmutes, if you didn’t have to spend so much time to get a 12 person group formed.0 -

The reason it was done this way is because players who prefer PVE can get the sets by doing PVE. Yes it is a pain to run dungeons multiple times to get the trait you want, but at least it is the playstyle you want to play. Meanwhile PVP players have to run a playstyle they don’t want to, and give up hours worth of their PVP time, in order to get the sets they need. So by giving them, easier access to transmute crystals it takes away that pain point.
And yes, it will also encourage some PVEers to try PVP. Which is a good thing. A lot of players fear PVP, so stay away from it without even trying it. It’s amazing the number of PVPers started like that, but once they tried it during a midyear mayhem, or to get transmutes crystal, they found that they actually enjoyed it and now had another aspect of the game they could Play have fun in.0 -

You forget that those 2 runs also give you 2 monster helms, potentially 4 undaunted keys (if they are the pledges). The only way to get monster helms and shoulders via PVP is to use the Golden Vendor. But it can take years for the monster helms and shoulders you want to show up in the golden vendor (if they ever do), and if you happen to be away the weekend they do, that’s your one chance gone for another several months/years. On top of this, they only come in two flavors, impen and infused. No way to get Divines or any other traits, unlike when you PVE for them or use keys.
PVEers forget when they talk about the amount of transmute crystals you get in PVP not being fair, that in nearly every other way, the rewards are stacked in their favour when it comes to gear, monster sets, gold, etc.

Nobody is forcing you to do the hard mode dungeon.
Let s compare that in getting a glass of milk. Either you can construct a stable, buy a cow etc or you just do your normal job and earn money and buy some milk.
There are infite other thkngs that offer an easy and a hard way. Smart people adapt IMHO, other complain.
