Ruin Gear. How to get it now?
Posted: Wed May 18, 2016 10:37 pm
Ok, first off let me say I completely understand and agree with the new changes to the system from the one that T4 release started out with. Preventing afk'ers and the fix since to help healers/tanks. It's a great step and it seems to be working.
That being said, however...
The only PQ that seems to remain "working" is the one in Praag. The one in Dragonwake seems to be bugged out more often than it's running. So, go do the one in Praag I hear you say. Ah, there's the problem.
Since the bag drop change, the only guaranteed gold bag drop is from a "Hard" PQ. The one in Praag is only normal. I've been in there several times now with around 20 people on the roll scoreboard, and only purple bags drop. The result of this is that people have, for the main part, stopped going, and therefore we can't get enough numbers in there to create the possibility of a gold random bag. The Ruin loot pieces only drop from Gold, and therefore no one is interested in getting purples or lower, the rewards from those is non existant, the purple growbag is useless and the gold amount is frankly insulting.
So, if the only Hard PQ is the Dragonwake one (and is therefore the only one guaranteed to drop a Gold) but it's almost always not working; how are we supposed to get Ruin gear?
I know some will say, try & grind SC gear, but tbh I'm not a fan of SC's any more. They are normally so lopsided it's more annoying than any form of fun.
Others will say, try & grind oRvR. Well, can't really do that at the moment either until the coming new system is introduced. It's quiet to non existent at the moment, and standing in a line flinging fire at the enemy in the middle of Praag just doesn't quite cut it for me. I like the variety and sense of achievement in taking things/objectives.
I know that the Dev's & the peeps at the top are working hard to make changes and fix various things, and I know that this is Alpha and fully understand that. It's just that I do love logging in every day and playing this game, but I'm starting to get a little bored levelling alts.
Would it be possible to temporarily at least upgrade the Praag PQ to a hard one? Maybe spawn some extra mobs/change the kill triggers for the stages? As it's the only one working most of the time it needs some loving to keep some form of interest going. Idk, perhaps this is being worked on at the moment? I've been keeping my eye on the forums the last few days for any updates, but it all seems to have gone very very quiet on the subject of Ruin gear.
