The last two resets resulted in the exact same items in my vault. This week (third reset) I did as much as I could and had a choice 5 items to choose from. Four were again the exact same as the previous weeks with the fifth being a set of shoulders which were a downgrade, I picked them just for the tmog.
What’s the chances of some bad luck protection?. I don’t always have the oppontunity to fill the vault with options surely three weeks of the same results shouldn’t happen.
Yea it’s fun… had blue gear on my rogue 2 weeks, got epic 389 pants, next week thinking there’s no way I get a bad roll. Literally any other slot is a win. And you guessed it, pants again. The system should check your slots and give you a item to replace one of the lowest gear slots. This is the dumbest place to put rng in, in a week long wait, plus soloshuffle pre req to unlock vault.
So … paying for the game, doing the content the game suggest you , trusting the system the game puts in your face is not enough, you want to add deliberate RNG too?
Vault is a reward system. In a game. A reward, by definition, is a thing given in recognition of service, effort, or achievement.
Question: Based on what the author has commented, identify one single word of the definition of reward. Thanks.
It is a “reward” system that shouldn’t even exist!
You already got your reward for what you done
Anything extra is not a reward, it is a gift, a free gift
So yes, the deliberate RNG is a good thing, we are too spoiled already and forgot to appreciate the little things and only want more more MORE!!!
The point is, you cannot tell Vault is a reward system when in reality is just a slot machine hype generator due to the lack of loot given the contexts the game offers.
A reward would be to have no item upgrade, and have it drop like 500 valor, 500 conquest, 500 of every usable currency in the game. Or have it both ! but it should never be the case you get none !
i dont think they would ever address this, getting the same item is the only way they keep people who cannot just quit, coming back.
they will keep punishing themselves because no matter how much they display they hate the system… they love to use it because of the dopamine kick given akin to gambling addiction.
If you have 12 tokens of merit, you can buy a spark, and get a friend to craft you a 418 piece to your specifications.
It’s not as good as picking a 421 from the vault every week, but it ensures that you get at least a decent item every 2 weeks. If you don’t pick random guff you don’t actually want
What if you instead really liked those items and it was painful to choose between them and now you are relieved you get a second pick from that lovely pool?
Bad luck protection kind of requires a definition of good and bad luck.
