This is now the 3rd week in a row where my “meaningful choices” of gear have no filled the slots that I needed to fill.
On top of that I BOUGHT my pvp weapon last week (after seeing so many people luck out and vault it week 1) just to get it again in my vault. a complete waste of a choice. My other 2 choices were a neck piece (this is where my legendary is so thats a no) it can’t be hard for the devs to make the game see where your lego is for that spec and not give you a piece in that slot. and a trinket… the proc trinket, not the on use, that you don’t use in rated pvp since we have on use stat and CC trinkets back. (1800+ Cr btw so these are 220 pieces)
Blizzard you need to do something about duplicates in the vault, I should not be spending a week looking forward to gear I earned all week just to be shown 3 things that are literally not upgrades to me.
At least make it so I can pick a piece (that weapon) and sell it back to the PVP trader for conquest? (do the same with pve, “marks of frost/valor” system ) it doesn’t even have to be the full 1800 but give us something.
This band-aid for the terrible system that the weekly box was is better, but fixing terrible with bad doesnt make it magically good. And with the “making loot be loot” while also giving us a metric S***-ton less this expansion is not “fun”.
I just feel underpowered compared to players who luck out with the vault each week or who can play all day and grind M+.
Im not complaining to complain but its what? the 6-8th? week of the expansion and i already am not looking forward to my vault just as much as i did the weekly chest.
Im sure this happens in the PVE community as well, i’m just seeing it the most as a pvp’er .
Needs more upvotes <3 I’m having exactly the same issue
I have 2750 conquest saved up because I refuse to buy anything until I check my vault. Wish me luck for a weapon.
GL m8, i just wish the system didn’t have this type of problem in the first place
you know, i feel this on a spiritual level. Ive recently just learned to enjoy PVP for what it is, and i honestly enjoy pvp in SL, so screw the great vault, i dont even think about it. Last week i literally was like oh shi-- thats right. just go kill people all the rest is blizzard being extra
“RNG”
If I had blizzards RNG I would be a multiple powerball lottery winner.
Ive literally been at 202 ilvl for the past 2 and a half weeks.
20+ M+ dungeons
4/10 normal CN
and 8/10 Heroic CN
i haven’t gotten a single piece of gear.
Well I got lucky and get a 210 weapon with good stats on it, so this is the third week in a row I have received an upgrade out of it. I was temped to take a 213 item offered over it but weapon upgrades have just been rare so far, so I couldn’t pass on up it.
and they say “let loot be loot” i feel bad for you m8, that has to be depressing.
While unfortunate, it’s still way better than the previous single weekly chest with no choice. I just wish it wasn’t that hard to get loot in general.
Interesting, that’s the exact way I describe the system. It’s like Blizzard broadsided one of their own ships with a cannon and are now bragging about how great of a job they are doing boarding it up.
lucky you, happy for you! im not saying it only brings bad things, im saying if you’re unlucky than your “hard work” playing doesnt actually gain you anything. If you put in the game time you should be rewarded, regardless if you’re lucky or not. I should not have to pray to RNJesus that the 3 slots aren’t trash.
It’s really not. When we had a single chest with no choice we also had a much higher drop rate in general on items, and we had PvP arena wins giving a chance to award random gear.
Neither of those things exist anymore. Blizzard has manufactured a drought and awarded you by giving you the water you already had, just at the end of the week, and once a week.
There’s really no excuse for this system, Blizzard has placed a business driven choice in front of balance just to keep us subbed a little longer. The result is some players who were lucky enough to get weapons are going to be permanently ahead this season in conquest points and gear.
Love getting an off-hand when I have no single main hand weapon and i’ve been using a 2 hand waepon. Love this system blizzard! /s
it is better, yea but just because a thing isnt as broken as it use to be doesnt mean its not broken. Dont be content with bad content just because it is better than what we used to have. Everything in BFA was bad, doesnt mean we cant still voice our opinions on things that need fixing now
I’ll never understand why they got rid of Valor Points…
lol one minute gearing is too easy, the next we get too little gear. pick a lane
They way I see it, the great vault is far better than what we use to have. I mean in that case you had one option and often times it was just tossed into the scrapper moments later. It would be nice it has some kind of currency as the “fall back” nothing is an upgrade option. A currency that could later be used to buy an item, like we had with the AZ armor currency.
I’m talking specifically about the vault. Not the general loot drops, hence I also said:
Don’t cherry pick my words just to pick a fight.
You’re the only one who is cherry picking here buddy. Loot systems are more than just a chest or a vault. The vault has completely reworked the way loot is distributed to players. If you can’t understand the discussion, it’s not worth replying further.
The vault is used justification for lowering loot drops from dungeons and removing them entirely from Arena. I’m not going to repeat myself here, your entire response is either projection, or you simply do not understand the big picture. Maybe you need to re-read my first reply.
The vault takes rewards you already had and awards them to you one at a time, once a week. At least the weekly chest didn’t lower or completely remove drop-rates.
