Seriously, VW loot system..come on.

Hey everyone.

I followed up with the development team to get an answer as to whether or not you need to already possess the rare/ex item to obtain a ticket. They said that you will in fact need to have the item in your possession and they are not planning to make it so you can give a ticket to someone else when you could obtain the actual item.

Also, to clarify the original post; each piece of gear will have their own ticket (and I've amended the original post for clarity). I've also seen questions about "will this apply to Heavy Metal Plates, too?" and the answer is no, this is currently planned for equipment pieces only.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Wait just one minute.

So, basically, you're saying that you need 5~6 people with Coruscantis to obtain a second Coruscanti in order to pool the tickets necessary to trade in for a single Coruscanti?

That is to say, the bodies and daggers are still lost, but only 83% lost instead of 100% lost? That's assuming if and only if the item is already possessed by the mule/character in question?

The latter clause is the real kicker in all of this. They've very explicitly said no (so much so that it had to be mentioned twice). I don't care to argue about it. I'm just tired.

I only do Voidwatch in the first place because I enjoy killing things with friends. I don't expect it to be rewarding. Apparently, that isn't really going to change as much as I'd hoped. Oh well.

SE couldn't resist the Jackass Genie call, it seems.

Thanks for the clarification Camate.

Admittedly this is why I do VWNM as well. Its a fun challenging LS event that lets me play COR finally (after 2 years hibernating). I view these equipment rewards as the cherry on top. Great if you get it, but I'm not losing sleep, nor am I spamming fights and hoping to run into a favorable RNG. It's a bide your time activity until SE comes up with content that is engaging and gives one a sense of progress.

it's nice that the lucky bastards that win the lottery twice get an item that will likely have good value. Its at least incentive to keep doing the same fights once you obtain your gear. Still doesn't help the luck challenged at all.

Camate I understand where the dev's are going with this, but it's not a good idea to make a separate ticket for each item. Make one for each NM and make the items redeemable with larger number of tickets. This is due to certain equipment simply not existing, ex: the weapons from the Zilart VWNMs.

Not even. Keep the tickets general. As it stands, there are still certain VW mobs that people will never do after getting there clears. For example: I was hoping this ticket thing would allow me to get Rubeus boots because lets face it, there aren't 18 ppl clamoring to fight this nm over and over (like they do with Pil/Kaggen/wtvr).

I speak for virtually everyone when I say this is a HUGE disappointment, and thank you SE for lifting us up a little, only to turn around and crush what little hope you had just built up. This isn't directed at camate, since I know he's just the messenger, but I feel that SE has really lost touch with the playerbase and their own game as a whole. With so many VW drops, MOST of these tickets will just end up getting tossed due to inventory issues anyway. Honestly, development in creating 200-300 new "tickets" is just a complete waste of time that could be spent on something useful... wait, I shouldnt have said that... MORE NERFS INCOMING!

So this basically will still not solve the issue for those of us who seems to be extremely unlucky (or not know anyone who's very lucky). Why is it that the dev is so against giving us points/ticket per NM if we're willing to give up all the Logs and Ores (seriously) that is in the chest for a chance of reaching the goal in getting a ra/ex piece? 0/250+ on Pil and Qilin now and I only know of 2 ppl personally that has gotten Toci and do not know anyone or even seem anyone with the HQ dagger yet. I keep seeing lucky sob that got Toci on 1/3, 1/6, 1/10 who doesnt' even care on getting the body piece.

Item specific ticket is just failed. This proposed change really isn't going to do much tbh other than APPEAR to give us a bone when in fact it doesn't do jack in the overall progression of the playerbase.
