This game is TOO easy (PVE)

Willyoke

Please, tell me I'm not the only one who thinks this

I never die. My HP never even goes to less than half of my bar. I don't even need to use my tanky spells because there's just no point. I'm a level 24 DK, using level 15 armour., and I'm still bored stiff because of the easiness of this game. My weapons are even old, and I feel that I'm going to have to dumb myself down even more, just to get a challenge.

Please, make it harder!!!

Run around naked.

should add a challenge for you.

Willyoke

I literally did that just now, and I managed to lose 30% of my HP. Wow, such a challenge!

Costismaros

There is no button LOL anymore.

Kalfis

The challenge was supposed to be veteran leveling.

But that was nerfed into the ground.



I don't really care tbh, all I care about is the story. The easier the fighting is, the better.

That's fine, but what about those who want a challenge? There should be a way to balance this. I find it ridiculous in games like this, when you have to dumb yourself down to get a challenge.

I agree the game is way too easy. You can just spam spell in combat and steamroll through, only stopping to let your stam/magic regen. It used to be good at VR levels before the huge nerf in that you actually had to build a good character and think about what you were doing. Good times.

So, it won't get any better, eh? I've been enjoying this game, but now I feel as though there's no point to continue. What a shame.

You are complaining about the game being too easy because you aren't even out of the starter zones yet. The starter zones are supposed to be easy.

Wait until you try Veteran City Of Ash, Sanctum Ophidia, Hel Ra Citadel, or Veteran DSA and then come back and tell me the game is too easy.

Willyoke

OK, another test: I just had a fight with a few enemies, including daedroth, bandit cutthroat, and enforcer, and they only attacked me once every 3-5 seconds. What the hell? The fight with the daedroth was at an anchor location, and I cleared it with one guy, until a bunch of others came running up at the end. So boring.

The challenge in the game is PvP. It's simply too bad that it takes ~400 hours of questing, and now ~3600 hours of earning champion points before you can actually be competitive with other players. But don't worry, if you play every day you'll get there in about 2 years.

So instead of complaining, set your home campaign to Thornblade, enter Cyrodiil, and enjoy getting a train pulled on you by VR14's. Hey, you said you wanted a challenge....

I doubt the game will be made challenging again for general pve as Zos has to cater for all the derps that just want to push the "I win" button. There is more challenging content in the form of dungeons and trials at endgame though.

bloodenragedb14_ESO

they need to take a page out of GW2's book, and scale characters to the level of the area they currently in. we of course get to keep our bonuses and skills, so things would still be somewhat easy, but at the very least bosses and mobs will have a modicum of challenge to them, and things of our actual level will be challenging, but not ridiculously difficult

Newk

Thought you would be talking about endgame content when I saw the topic name.

But the leveling? Who the fack cares. Get to endgame.

Then wear Level 1 armor (or prison garb) with no enchantments, make sure you eat no food or drinks at all, and carry no potions with you.

Then wade face-first into fights.


The game should then become challenging for you.





Glad to help.

Loads of people were complaining at launch so they nerfed it from easy to *** easy

Briwulf

Well the game used to be a lot harder at launch but then lots of players moaned saying it was too hard so it got nerfed (if anyone can remember how Doshia fight was early game). And the vet levels used to be unforgiving also pulling loads of mobs would destroy you.

Personally i don't mind either way as I judge a games difficulty on its endgame (PVE) and while ESO is not a hard MMO there is still challenge there like already has been stated Vet DSA and Sanctum plus the Trials at Hardmodes.

Just try and enjoy the quests for the story not the challenge and you can always have a go at solo'ing the public dungeons for a challenge while questing these were designed to be run with 2 players plus, But some classes and experienced players can solo them.

Read the title. It clearly states PVE.

I also said that you are still in the starter zones. It's supposed to be easy. You want harder content? The run veteran dungeons, trials, and Vet DSA.

This just isn't fun. I don't want to have to wear novice gear, and dumb myself down to get a challenge. This is just ridiculous. Getting to the end of the game will take too long, and then there will be no point in making another play-through because I'll just get bored, again.

You wanted harder gameplay.

I provided a fool-proof method.

Gargragrond

Skip the easy quests, just go to the next zone or the one after that until you find mobs that are several level higher than you are.

if all you're doing is running quests then you're doing it wrong.

Try solo'ing dolmens and world bosses for a challenge.

Elloa

Guys you are really not nice with the OP! >:( @Willyoke I agree with you and I'm a bit sad that the game is so easy during the leveling process.

A lot of people actually enjoy to meet a challenge while leveling. For a lot of players, me included, leveling IS the journey, and is important. We want to take our time and to have the possibility to train our skills while learning the game and enjoying it. Not every player run as fast as possible through the content to arrive in end game.

The game was already too easy in beta, but it was still okay. Gear and build had their importance. Crafting was more meaningful. But Zenimax nerfed the content patches after patches. It sad for those that enjoy leveling. AND NO, running around naked do not make up for it.

Be reassured @Willyoke end game is harder, and some veteran dungeon present a REAL challenges. But the leveling IS easy. And it will not improve.

Yep, you can definitely solo dolmens and world bosses if you are a skilled player.

Also @Willyoke is playing a DK which is generally considered to be the most OP class. If he would like a challenge, I suggest he try playing a sorc.

Yes, it would give myself a better challenge, to get more enjoyment, but losing enjoyment because I'm not using any nice weapons or armour. Should I just stay as a soul shriven for the entire game?

Yeah, I could do this, and then possibly get a better challenge, and then I'd miss all of the nice quests, and gear (which I can't really use anyway because it'll make the game too easy). When I arrived in Wayrest, all of the enemies were actually several levels higher than me, and I still got no challenge out of it.

This is exactly what I'm on about. I don't want to run around naked. My orc is not pretty! I want to enjoy levelling, and questing!

I'm looking forward to the end-game. I really hope it'll be worth it

Why don't you come back when you are v14 and finished the content, atleast then you can judge the game properly... a few hrs of game play is hardly enough to comment on this. All mmo's are made to be simple through a certain amount of content to allow ppl who are new to the mmo experience a grace period to get a handle on how things work... what makes you think this game would be any different.
