Seriously, VW loot system..come on.

[Kitkat]

Need to go into the test server client install directory and go to either Tools, ToolsEU, or ToolsUS (depending on where you are regionally) and you'll find the game pad configuration there. Personally I've had no issues with the test server in direct playability other than a few bugs with new changes they have added. If you are talking about how certain elements don't work like they do on the main server it is because they shut off any function that is not absolutely necessary to test what they are adding to the game (Besieged, conquest tally, campaign, etc). To get around having these active they have moogles that teleport you anywhere you would normally go using these shutdown elements.

Back on track, I haven't given up so much as I just haven't had much the desire to log on when I have time recently. It's hard to enjoy something you can spend hours doing and see the fault of a loot system 1-3 times within 12~16 fights if the item drops at all to anyone. I can understand SE trying to prolong the game now they have reached the new cap, but this is not the way to do it.

I'm more or less given up on VW. Most competent ppl on my server dont bother with VW either when most them are already 0/300+ on the same NM's and keep seeing new ppl go in and gets it on 1/3 or 1/4 run. It just pisses off more ppl than anything else.

And I've given up hope of SE ever truly give a damn about their players basically begging them to change this idiotic loot system. They have absolutely no reason to be in business at all the way they're treating us.

Vw drop system is dumb. Going 0/200+ on Kaggen, Pil, and Akvan on the bodies. 600+ jeuno T3 kills have yet to get a body of any kind from them. Seen so many people go 1/1 or 1/2 it's beyond retarded.

We'll probably find that once Legion comes out and SE no longer need to keep us doing VW to prevent us getting bored and quitting, that they'll increase the drop rates, or bring in a sensible system for obtaining the loot.

I really doubt that, they needed 2 year+ (or more) to up the droprates of salvage. I have a feeling Voidwatch will stay the same for 2 years or more. Interest in it is allready declining on people for different reasons:
1. Getting no dorps ----> frustration -----> fuck this event
2. Spamed the events ----> got some dorps -----> out of voidstones ----> fuck doing campaign nonstop to spam VW further
3. Got all the things they wanted -----> fuck VW

I go under point 2. While yes I got some nice dorps, i used up all my stones I horded since day 1 VW was introduced.... Doing Campaign everyday to stock on Voiddust is not something I am looking forward :X nor do I have the time for it (in addition to everyday VW spamming). So yeah I'm basicly fucked ._.

Yeah? You forgot #4 though.

Come back from a 5 month hiatus ----> Expect a bunch of cool shit in the time you were gone ----> Do VW for a week and not get anything ----> Fuck this game.

at least GW2 is coming out this year.

Some how I imagine Legion will be like Nyzul Isle, only with nothing but NMs. They will all be NMs that exist in other events, and they will have an incredibly low drop rate. You will get points that you can use on some generic sets of gear, but actual drops will be incredily rare. Just a prediction though.

Without a doubt, the drop rates will be horrific. Anyone that thinks otherwise is totally and utterly blind to their development ideas since Abyssea. If you do Legion you will be mainly doing it for the event itself, obtaining drops will be as bad, infact probably far worse than VW and the point system will be for items that don't really matter. Keep that inmind when you look at those dat miner threads for legion gear after the update, pretty good chance you aint getting any of them.

I also expect the drop rates to be horrific. But I also expect that not all items will have the same drop rate. Like in VW when you are going after the glowy body, but you get the "B-list" drops like Sceamol Band, Pil Chakram, Fajin Boots, etc.

I am just hoping they don't make the drop rates for the rarest stuff even lower than the VW glowy bodies. Doing 4 runs of T3 VWNM's, you maybe saw one body in 16 kills and it would go to someone who didn't need it. If they keep the same drop rate, after a night of doing Legion, at least that body will end up in the shared treasure pool.

Wishful thinking I suppose!

So im a little late to the conversation, but having done VW all weekend for hours on end and the best drop I got was a single riftsand I feel straight cheated. Screw this loot system, I've spent so much gil and cruor on rubicund cells its disgusting and I know im going to keep on trying to do it because MAYBE this time things will be different.

Unfortunately what you're suffering right now is a condition known as "Battered Wife Syndrome"...

In a Video Game.

Balance!

Now you can be just as abused in the thing you use to escape your trouble!
