Void Ark loot Rage thread!

just me venting but i swear i have been spamming this thing trying to get loot as a healer, because its my new main cause someone in the static didn't want to heal i guess. and healers get a 30 minutes wait time to get in void ark. Now that's not so bad i mean dps used to get that wait time too, BUT healer loot does not drop in that stupid place i swear i had to settle for tank look last week just to get something, and i keep running it and running it and never see healer loot. Instead i see this crap!

Two monk shoes from the same Chest REALLY! I just want to get healer gear to help my static out IS THAT REALLY TO MUCH TO ASK FOR!!!!!!!!!
Venting done thank you!

Funny thing is I just saw a topic a bit ago where somebody had gotten 2 healer hats in one chest and another healer hat in a chest prior to that one. (3 healer hats in the same instance)

Advantage of having multiple roles leveled is I can always role on something be it my main (although I usually get tome gear for my main class) or alts. Running CT, ST, WOD or void for a specific drop was always an adventure. Good luck but you're just not lucky with RNG and hopefully when it does drop the other healer won't win out.

I ran 10 Void Arks today on my WHM and AST, I really wanted the tank chest (leveling PLD and DRK after MNK hits 60), but it just wasn't happening. So I rolled on a casting hat 'cause my casters are in full i190.

Tank chests in every single chest after that. No one rolled on any of them. Not even the tank.

I died a little inside.

Just did VA, 2 tank head pieces from same chest. Healer body dropped to the floor :3

Casting robes are still a lie, just like every other casting robe in the game so far.

Seen plenty double DRG chest pieces so far though, always from the third boss too.

That's gotta suck, but to give hope it does drop. Got my robe the first one and the hat yesterday :D

I know it is RNG but I swear it likes to lump gear together. IE in one run I saw 4 caster gear items. In another run 3 DRG items. So much lost loot. =/

they really should give more loot per chest.... 1-2 peices of gear in content for party bset up beinbg 4-24 is uncool. Make my miss ffxi loot system at least in dynamis as random as shi is, players got their gear. :/ cuz at least 5-8 peices of gear could drop on a run.

Uh, chests are per party, so you're not rolling against the other alliances. Beats the one per chest system of CT.

My set just REFUSES to drop there. I haven't even run it yet, and already I'm suffering from a lack of loot.

[/sarcasm]

That really sucks, OP. I was hoping they'd do something with Void Ark like they did with Alexander, and drop multiple pieces of currency that could be turned in for gear. But alas.

At least the weekly will help me get my Eso pieces maxed out.

Wow can't wait to get in there!

guess for some it would be the right time for SE to make the /dead emote, so we could fall on the ground, speechless.. >.<

I gave up after ~12 runs for caster robe yesterday (saw it once, lost to smn that was afk 90% of the run) and just greed rolled on dragoon chest. Incentive to finish dragoon, I guess. :( I don't want to fall into the same trap where I run 50+ times a week for one piece of gear like I did with WoD. I have three characters that need the loot every week now too.

...The wait for 3.2 will be long.

I had 3 striking belts drop a couple of runs ago.

I just want my healer chestpiece, dangit!

I haven't seen a single piece of caster gear in 10 runs last week and I switched to SMN recently for a few reason, so trying to get that more geared now. Seeing nothing but Monk, DRG, and MCH/Bard stuff kind of sucks since those are the jobs I can't use stuff for. I would have even taken a healing or tank piece my last run last week, but I got a Ninja piece just to be done with it all. ...At least that's 60.

I have run Void Ark exactly four times. Each time, on my first run, I got a drop I wanted for my DRG. Even when I was on my DRK last night. XD No loot ranting here!!

Just bad luck. Last week I got the healer gloves on my third run.

Then, last night I was torn between the healer legs or greeding on the tank chest for my future 60 WAR. Well, the healing pants dropped on my second run so I needed them and won. Then, last boss the tank chest dropped and it fell to the floor. I was so sad.

I thought that was one of the runs I was in last night, double monk boots then double monk headpiece. Of course no monk in the party lol

I've run it 3 times and gotten the healer chest and pants, I think the game is trying to make up for never giving me drops in world of darkness.

I got one for my retainer

Lol it seems each time I've been in there, one of the bosses has dropped two pieces of the same MNK gear, without having any MNKs in the party.

Last night on my DRG(all ilvl 190 except for 180 chest/ring, and 210 belt), head drops from second boss, so I scoop it up, remembering the times I ran WoD 25 times for one specific loot. Obviously the DRG chest drops on both the 3rd and 4th bosses.... cries...

It's not really any different then Ct and Wod were as always was Monk and Bard gear. No lie back in the Ct days it took me over 100 runs to get the darn crimson robe and over 200 in Wod for the caster Robe, and no i am not exaggerating.
I swear even if rng the coding must be set to favor non-caster classes

Thus far I've gotten everything I've decided to go for within a few runs. That said, I feel like duplicate drops happens far more often than they really should.

Same.

Whenever i do void ark it's 1 healer drop every 5 runs, every other item drop is ninja/mnk/drg.

It's all RNG people, it's also life. Deal with it.

I went through a nightmare in WoD for the BRD chest, 2 weeks of farming everyday and the final 8 hour marathon which finally saw my suffering end. RNG again, every single run I was not alone, there was always another BRD in my pt. Always at least 2, even 4 BRD's sometimes. While the other 2 pt's have 1 or no BRD's. Then I roll a 1, then I don't see it again for another week. When it finally dropped again, there were 3 BRD's in my pt, one of them rolled a 1 and I literally cried and the other guy said he'll pass for me. Thank god for bringing that guy to earth, Player of the Year folks.


Tis is life, there is nothing wrong with the loot system. It ain't broke, it's just RNG. Sometimes you get to the point where you think you it's broke and the game hates you, nah you just suck at RNG. It also took me about 3 weeks for the Dreadwyrm weapon, running on average 5 times a day, to finally see the wep and chest double drop after god knows how many runs (not even god will know how many wipes).

Not rage-y like everyone else's in this thread, but I've had absurd luck. I got my body on my second run my first week and pants the first run on the second. . .

But I actually really want the Echidna Card. I just can't justify running it only for the Card and Minion, so my luck is basically keeping me from getting the non-gear items I want.

We only have ourselves to blame for multiples of a specific item dropping in the same run. If people wouldn't ditch the moment their loot drops or doesn't drop, they would have never had to change the way it works.

I have ran Void Ark 3 times and gotten 2 pieces of healer gear, body and feet. So it does in fact drop just as much. Its just RNG being RNG. Some people do 1 run some do 30 to get 1 piece of gear. It took me 112 Shiva EX runs to get my sch book for instance.

I got the tank body in my first run last week and the tank pants in my first run this week.

Nope, nothin' to rage about here.
