I'm ok with the random loot

[pharky]

i'm fine with grinding a bit to obtain optimal loot, the quest are fun too. but seriously why do i need combat mastery on a ranged weapon?

it could have been superior anything resistance and i would have felt better. this is worse than vendor trash
im sure the next one, ill get stunning +10 on it. screw this, i rather make more GS or alchemical

The issue I have with random loot like this is that it shouldn't be BtC.

It should be BtA or bind on equip, getting an item that's excellent but not for the specific character you got it on would be pretty frustrating imo.

Having limits on what stats a specific piece of gear can get would be nice but I guess that'd make too much sense in cases like this :p

everytime i look at this item in my inventory, i feel like punching babies!

I have a few wishes for these new challenges.

1: Make ingredients BtA.

2: Let me see which enhancements are on the items I am offered, so I can choose if I want to take an item or not. A player with bad luck may never get anything useful as it is today.

3: Make items BtA, BtC on equip. That way you can take a good item if it is offered to another character than the one it would be useful for.

If we get these changes I would actually consider running these new challenges. As it is it is a waste of time imo. :rolleyes:

Random loot will always be mostly junk items with rare chances at a good item.

That is why random loot only really works as general award for non-specific content and not as a means of having people run specific content...as in it works well if it is in every chest in the game, but not if it was only in one pack in the game while the rest had named items with set properties.

Otherwise, people just avoid the junk drop area and go to the area with more predictable rewards.

while i was running the challenges, i often wonder what i am working for. i got no idea what type of effects i might get. and now that i know i can actually get useless melee effects on range weapons, im not even going to try anymore. its just a waste of time because there is totally no limitation.

and its going to be harder for people grinding armor because of rubbish randoms like
