This is now the 7th week into 8.3. I have literally not gotten a single piece of good corruption. Corruption is so strong that I am going to be left behind. The drop rate itself is already incredibly low and then its even lower chance to get the one you need because there are 52 different traits. I am not saying nerf corruption as that would be a punishment to others for your crap system but rather buff the chances for them to drop or maybe add a corrupted vendor that way we can grind out a currency in someway and then allow us to choose.
I am trying my best to enjoy 8.3 but I don’t want to feel like I am going to be a detriment to my guild or my m+ team because I’m not getting anything worthwhile. I have heard many times “Don’t worry in a month or two it’ll all even out” well it is week 7 and it hasn’t. The gap is becoming larger. I am doing my part. I am full clearing raids, I am running as much m+ as I can. I am doing arenas for the weekly pvp cache. It is just not happening.
Old Republic has this new gearing system where you can buy (or wait to see if RNG drops them) different sets. They’re tailored to all different playstyles. And they have these RNG little bonuses you can get on pieces, too. Those are a gold sink, where you can reroll them to things you want. Some are for tanking, DPS or healing. Others are for crafting, gear drops in different content, gathering, companion bonuses, etc.
It’s been a pretty neat change and really gives you a lot of room to play how you want.
I am allowed to have some say over my own character power!
Don’t worry they’ll create a new system where you can take your trash corruption gear and put it in a machine that gives you a token. After you create 500 of these you’ll be able to go to a vendor and buy a random item that might have good corruption. If not repeat step 1.
Imo it is to cater to bad players and players who are unwilling to learn. If we gave choice then better/more knowledgeable players will make better choices and bad/less knowledgeable players will make more bad choices. This is why we don’t have pvp vendors or deterministic gear imo.
Bad players complained they were left behind rather than trying to learn.
It’s just to give gear a neat proc in place of sets.
That’s it.
Don’t tinfoil hat it.
It’s a neat system that gives you a chance to have neat rewards. If you set up the requirement that you have to have it then you’ve condemned yourself.
You do know we used to do that back in the day and people liked it, right? It also wasn’t the only way to get gear. And the only RNG for gear back then was whether or not that specific piece with specific stats would drop.
Except it doesn’t. It gives a chance for maybe a good proc. And it should never be compared to sets.
These forums are always complaining. It’s roughly 1% of the community. That doesn’t mean others didn’t like it and that it wasn’t successful. Mists wasn’t the only expansion to have currency gear.
This is a brand new forum. The archives don’t exist. And I’ve been on the forums for longer than Mists. LOL
I see you have zero clue what you’re talking about.
