Lack of tier in vault

so since the first week of season 3 vault, I have unlocked all chests with all reward options and received 0 tiers like do you guys not pay attention to this rubbish system?

I got a 278 chest first week.
Got a helm 2 weeks after that.
Still hoping to get my 4 piece.

Luck is luck. Sometimes good. Sometimes bad. Relax my friend, next week, you can start making tier pieces.

It’s pretty random. For example, this week I had 2 tier pieces in my vault. Last week was nothing, and the week before was meh. I wish they’d just bring back the vendors and let us buy our pieces. Someone told me that the PRT just dropped those vendors today – fingers crossed.

This system is a disgrace

the fact that you are disadvantaged over others because of the tier is really obnoxious especially since you farmed to unlock all those catches to receive a pathetic loot choice. :face_vomiting:

Hoping to get my first piece when i get home.

But i took 278 slots previously i can make into tier so its really w/e and just wait for creation catalyst

How did you feel about it only dropping from raid back in the day?

Yea…the vault is underappreciated. BFA was a chest with…no options, just the piece you got.

I don’t think we had mythic+ back then and PvP had their own tier sets with resilience

Just bad RNG. I’ve been fortunate to have two pieces in vault these past 2 resets. But RNG is RNG and at least you still have the ability to get an upgrade every week.

Every week since 9.2 at least 5 boxes open. Today I had 7. Between raid drops and boxes, still not a single tier piece. And playing an already underperforming spec. Ridiculous. And the choices I did get were all crap. 3 were boots, where my legendary is.

I’ve unlocked every slot for M+ and raid in the vault each week since 9.2 has been out, and I have gotten one piece of tier four weeks ago. This piece helped me create my two piece set. However, Warriors are extremely dependent on their 4 piece to perform competitively, so now I’m seeing some gatekeeping in community-led content like normal and heroic raids and M+ based on tier sets. This is ridiculous having to play the RNG game to catch up to people, some who play the game significantly less.

My husband had 0 piece by time I got my two piece, yet he had his 4 piece as of last week and I still have my two piece and have for three weeks. Yes, I understand you can start forging tier pieces beginning next week, but I’ve only gotten 278 pieces in the slots I have my two piece set in which won’t help me get to my 4 piece any faster.

It’s just such a crappy RNG system that works “great” for those who get lucky. The past two weeks I haven’t even gotten something upgradable, and it’s not like my gear is stellar lol. Anyways, just came to sympathize.

We’ve had 4 vaults this season? So out of 24 options (4 * 6, cuz I cba to pvp) I’ve seen zero tier.

I got my 2 set tier from my first run of normal raid. And nothing since. Literally zero. Zilch. Nada. And I got currency 2 weeks a row, because none of the 6 options were actual upgrades at all.

It feels bad being on this side of the bell curve. Still waiting on my 4pc while I see the patch notes nerf it every week. Can’t have Druid tanks being top damage in AoE, that spot is reserved for DH and now apparently DK. Everybody seems fine with druids being bottom damage on single target though. Nobody is moving real fast to fix that outlier.

Tirade aside, catalyst should have been out week one. When tier is literally 50% or more of your power, it’s not ok to be RNG.

Tier acquisition is the fastest it’s ever been, especially once the creation catalyst opens next week. People seem to forget how it took months to get your tier set back in Legion.

And even before that. Splitting tier pieces among 25-man raids so it would take weeks to even get 1 piece.

This is my first week getting tier in my vault. I got a 278 tier helm in my M+ vault and a 265 tier hands in my raid vault.

This isn’t the point of OP’s post. The point is that it’s entirely up to RNG and it’s a completely dog crap system. Gatekeeping due to tier sets is already occurring in community-led content which is ridiculously unfair to those who put in the effort and have unlocked every slot in their vault. To stay competitive, these pieces are necessary. Why should more casual players who simply have better RNG get a chance to have the more competitive set than those who put in the effort? Makes no sense.

Further, the 278 pieces that drop in vault aren’t a guarantee to be in the slots you need to craft to help you attain those set bonuses. I’ve gotten one 278 piece that I’m playing the long haul on to build tier on later – but it’s also a piece I’ve already gotten in that slot for set. You can also get duplicates. . .

Every lock in our raid has been 3/4 for weeks.

This is so annoying. Why doesn’t the jailer drop a universal token?
