Artifact weapon rant

Why on Ghu's green earth can't we bloody well choose which weapon we get from the Dragon Artifact Chest?!?!?!

I've now gotten both the bloody **** useless GWF swords, and not the actual one which has the bloody ability that I use (sure strike).

Waste of time :(

I can't even trade the useless ones I've gotten. :P

    That does suck - the chest should give you the appropriate (USABLE) weapon. . .

    Are you asking why? In a game that only exists to give you reasons to keep on spending real life money on things like keys?

    Yes you can. Save them for refining.

    When we found out about this stupid system on preview we asked for the system designer to change it to allow us to pick , for whatever reason he ignored us.

    Of all the things they introduced during this mod, this is the worse really.. I still cant believe this.. I know Im going to be stuck with something more then worthless on every class I play..

    DC cant wait for the stupidity of the lance of faith weapon.. whoooot, not times 10000.

    I literally CANT believe they put a artifact weapon on reaping strike, that may be the most worthless at will in the game.. now if they you know upped it to 20k hit or something.. might be something else.. but its so horrific for the time to build it , its so not funny.

    The answer will always be $

    Agreed. Thief of time also applies.

    But even $ makes no sense - as all the items you need for it are not buyable with $$$.

    The Dragon Bone drops from the Dragon Encounters (I have 3 more of them right now).
    The Dragon Forged Steel you get one free, and the others are easily purchased in the Tyranny store for in-game currencies.
    The Dragon Gem drops from the Skirmish (and Lair, which I haven't unlocked yet).

    Neither of which earns Cryptic a red cent.

    And a quick followup:

    Can you at least let us get one of each before we get frigging duplicates?!?!?!??!?!?!

    I now have *TWO* of the most useless artifact weapon in existance - made to boost an ability No sane GWF on Toril ever use beyond level 10 - Reaping strike.

    Jesus wept.

    Would definitely make more sense than what we got and still pretty expensive for todays prices, and that's ignoring the refining cost.

    They should make NPC that exchanges your Artifact weapon to other weapon of your choice, saving all RP.

    I got the wrong one on my CW and I'm not gonna try more, screw this, I'll adapt. But I'm not happy with this game design

    The solution is even more simple, they can keep the actual way if the player want to have a chance to get the weapon or they could also add another option where the player have to spend the actual resources multiplied for 3 in case he wants a specific weapon but we know them already, they won't do anything, just keep trying your luck guys, the dragon gems will be cheaper in the next days.

    Instead of having a challenging dungeon with guaranteed loot, they instead decided to make a fast dungeon but RNG is the big challenge. Well done!

    Once upon a time you were guaranteed a BiS weapon every run as well as other epic drops. You could run 5 split runs and buy your own so that rewards are equal and fair. *Sigh*. Of course I wouldn't expect an artifact to be that easy to get but I would like runs being worth my time considering profit/time is down so so much. Basically it's the boss drop rates that actually bug me.

    Since all 3 dc weapons are hardly awe inspiring, perhaps this is a bit of a mixed blessing. Other classes will have the agony of getting the wrong weapon before double refinement, I say don't bother with the artifact weapon until mod 5 (who knows, perhaps lance of faith will become the must have at will)
