Haha, so my stupid game bugged out on me tonight and I ended up losing my rare-as-gently caress Engine Guardian Helm (Heavy Armor/Divines Trait). Sent a ticket to support because some people claimed I could get it back because it wasn't an error on my end.

Support's Response?


Like, really? A loving upgrade material and trait stone is equivalent to the amount of time I spent in that dungeon trying to get that helm? God-loving-dammit ZoS. I'm trying to not hate you guys but poo poo like this makes it really hard.

...ok, rant over. Continue asking for invites and poo poo :)

You lost a helm because you deconstructed it?

I was refining some raw Voidstone to get some ingots for crafting. Never even once touched the "Deconstruct Armors/Weapons" menu while doing it. When I finished refining my raw materials, I went to turn in a crafting quest when I noticed my helm was missing. I don't use the "Hide Helmet" gameplay option, so I checked my bag. It was gone. completely vanished.

I use an add-on that lets me mark specific items and save them so they don't get destroyed. And I have no idea what happened, especially considering that I never even touched the Deconstruct menu, only the Refine menu.

Are you positive you even got mats for it then? Reply back telling them they are full of poo poo because you didn't get anything.

I did though. I only refined 3 sets of raw materials and somehow it went past 3 and the last drops were Voidstone, Grain Solvent, and a Sapphire.

I mean I have no problem re-grinding the helm, VetDC is piss easy anyway and we managed to 3-man it last night (Ennuid, Sadpluto, and I), even as a comedy run. It's just their response that pissed me off.

I had this exact thing happen. Wearing a helmet from a dropped set. Crafting, refining specifically. Neither researched nor deconstructed. Helmet was on when I entered the crafting station view and gone when I came out. I opened a ticket and went back and forth with them several times with no success. They did research it and could find that I had the helmet. They could not find where it went or some event associated with it. It was a low level set helmet on a low level character so I gave up.

That's messed up. I guess stick your helmet in the bank before you refine anything then, now? Maybe its a bug with one of the addons you're both using.

The items in your bank also appear in your deconstruction tab. And since monster pieces are bind on pickup, you can't hide them in a guild bank either.

It's a unique helm drop with the best effect in the game all-around. It has a chance on every single skill cast to summon a Dwemer Sphere that restores either Health, Stamina, and Magicka over 6 seconds.

They're the only items that give you a 1-set bonus, and the 2-set bonuses are generally pretty cool. Engine guardian summons a little sphere dude to give you 2200 health, magicka, or stamina every second with about a 33% uptime, roughly equivalent to drinking an extra purple beverage.

e: what he said
e2: In contrast, Warlock (which people still pay good money for somehow) takes 5 pieces to give you half the magicka and no health or stamina.

Every instance change (so out the delve and back in) resets the containers I think. There is something like a thirty minute timer on motifs per character though.

It's a completely random drop with a very low drop rate yes.

The drop comes out of a pool of 3 Armor Types and 8 Traits. My ideal drop would be a Heavy Armor version, with either the Infused or Divines Trait, which are the best traits available. The game could also go "gently caress you for grinding this, here's a Medium Armor Sturdy version," which would suck balls. I need a Heavy version for my build to take advantage of HA bonuses and Undaunted bonuses.

Re-submitted my ticket just now, citing that "the service I received was unsatisfactory to me, as both a former ESO sub and current ESO+ sub" and that "I never intended for the helm to be deconstructed and hence could not know if the materials came from either the helm destruction or raw materiel refining."

I also mentioned that several other users have had items restored after accidental destruction and could provide corroboration.

Probably against my better judgement but that first part about the service being unsatisfactory is true.

Yeah, totally had to do with that and had nothing to do with the fact that you were reluctant to run with a V8 even though I am fully geared and know my poo poo.

Start checking guild traders in every city that's where I go if I can't find a recipe I need but now I'm only missing like 5 in the whole game.

Pubbies are pubbies. I did an all Templar Spindle run with apparently 1 guy who signed up as DPS but INSISTED on heals. Only problem is the healer guy INSISTED on being heals, too. So the entire instance they were bickering back and forth trying to outheal each other while doing garbage dps because they were too wrapped up in their slapfight to actually do the dungeon. Thank god it was an easy lowbie instance and the tank knew what he was doing.

DW or 2H? I hear most people go 2H but I like DW. stam I assume

my bar looks like this. It's really only good for single target dps so my second bar is buffs and bow aoe stuff
Abilities
1 Veiled Strike--M--> Surprise Attack (open with this from stealth to do a bunch of damage, stun, and wreck their armor. Also good for spamming)
2 Twin Slashes--M--> Either morph (good cheap move to throw a dot on dudes. One morph heals you the other does more damage, your choice)
3 Assassin's Blade--M--> Killer's Blade (Powerful execute move on low health guys, heals you quite a bit when you kill dudes. Great for spamming on bosses when they're low too)
4 Teleport Strike--M--> Ambush (great gap closer that stuns the enemy for a short bit and increases your next attack)
5 Shadowy Cloak--M--> Shadowy Disguise (Invisibility comes in handy a lot! And you have a magicka bar that's feeling neglected with all these stam skills)

For the ult I usually use Dawnbreaker since it increases weapon damage when slotted but there's probably a case to be made for a number of other ults.

I don't believe its possible to deconstruct your helmet while you're trying to make ingots or whatever. What, does your character accidentally drop their helmet in the smelter or something? It doesn't even make sense to me from a programming standpoint how they would screw something up that badly.

In the beta, there was an issue where sometimes your helmet would get eaten when you deconstructed things. I thought that got pretty hardcore fixt, though.

So I just started playing this with a buddy. It's fun and all but it seems a little counter-intuitive to have a game based on free form builds to have such drastically unbalanced racial abilities. I never paid attention to min/maxing in games before (Tauren priest best priest), but the racials here look really really skewed. Basically what I'm saying here is that I don't want to play a dumb elf. How badly am I shooting myself in the foot if I am playing a non-tanking lizard? How much does it matter end-game, pvp, etc? The more research I do on races and the developers changes on them (+2% potion effectiveness next patch? really?) the more frustrated I get.
