Draculas Set and why the unlocks make little sense

[towly]

the endgame armor and why i think it should unlock diffrently:

well the current system is weird, you get them from the shardguys
and the final piece you get from the bigman himself

the question i have is WHY

from a pve standpoint this makes ZERO sense

what reason do i have to craft the chestpiece
and i dont want to comment on the pvp side (cuz i dont pvp but to the pvps wouldnt you like to get the endgame armor sooner, what hurt would it do to you ? )

so my suggestion is the bosses at lvl 86 should unlock foot hand and pants
and then ANY of the shardbosses unlock the last piece AND the ability to cract it

that way the final armor actually has a use in the endgame

I agree

It's hardly unheard of to get drops from the final boss that you effectively have nothing new to use it against.

They have clearly given it some thought. The first piece equals the +1 gear set bonus from the previous tier armour set, and has a slightly better stat on it. The second piece is an extra +1 level, slightly better stat, and the gear set bonus is an improved version of the one you lost. Same again for the third piece. The fourth piece is just a bonus.

Would it be great to get it before the fight? Sure, it'll make it a little easier, but its not exactly an outlandish concept as it currently works.

yeah, once you beat drac, you can uninstall the game as you finished the game.

Me, i am having trouble beating the boss just before him, doctro somethign or other, i thought i had beat him then he got up again with max hp and proceeded to AOE the sha... outta everything consistantly, needless to say i died :(

i will not claim no games exist were an endboss drops a thing that then has no use, but tbf i cant think of any game that the last boss dropped a part of the endgame armor gear that then has NO use as you just beaten the game.

the point of endgame armor set is (atleast as i see it) to be used in the endgame

if drac dropped a cool looking headpiece, i wouldnt be here complaining
(gotta look stylish in endgame pvp)
but he drops the last piece of an armor set that only by killing him i can have for ? for nothing, i have killed him, i havent once crafted the chestpiece cuz there is no point to it

"Why last boss give gear?!"
every single game ever, lmao op.

[Firecam]

Agreed, that was not a bright idea.

its for the pvp crowd just like the soul shards. They will probably update the game with more content somewhere down the line so that even pve ppl have use for that armor.

its not THAT he drops gear, its that he drops gear that is part of an armor set,
which PVE players never use, but why am i even explaining this to people like that ....

you know your just a troll so go find a bridge and shush there

[ToeSama]

It would make more sense to give a piece to Valencia and have Adam give the chest piece, yes. Drac giving the glorified trophy chair in the ToD is sufficient enough for a bragging rights drop.

Every MMORPG with endgame raids works similar. You get the best gear at the last bosses and then? You can grind them faster like the rest of the game.
Does it makes sense? Who knows, yet poeple do them until 2 years later the gear is kinda pointless since the story will throw better gear on you with the next DLC.

In VRising you still have it for PvP, no matter if you play it or not, the game is designed around it.

The current system is fine as it is and the gearscore-gap should stay, otherwise the last bosses are too easy.

[towly]

the last bosses arent hard(imo), that is not the point i am trying to make anyway

its that its strange the reward is a part of the armor set

wouldnt it be nice you assemble dracs armor, on your way to him (not just 3 pieces but the hole thing)

you come in there and he tells you : MY ARMOR bbla blaa insert heroic villain speech

he demands it back and then you bonk him in the head

and as a reward he then drops a unique mount
