With pretty much everything being a 100% guarantee drop now, after a while all you would be doing pve activies for are for the specific trait.

They made City of Ash and the IC dungeons easier, allowed monster sets to be bought with Alliance points which were also made easier to obtain and now they've even changed undaunted keys so that now its one key that guarantees a shoulder piece with the chance of earning literally over 16 keys a day if you use alts. Maelstrom is a guarantee now too and content overall is a lot easier.

For everything else thats become 10x easier and for drop rates that are all 100% now, please refer to the patch notes.

YES RNG could be very frustrating but there was no better feeling of achievement when you knew you worked hard and earned something that was rare amongst other players.

Mark my words, in the very near future most players will have the best maxed out gear and there will be nothing left apart from threads moaning about new content.

Its a decision ZOS have made and I respect it but its just absolutely killed PVE imo. Just about nothing is challenging and my 50/50 focus with PVP has now gone to about 90/10 in favour of PVP.
(Which has also become a lot easier with completely OP and unnecessary weapon ultimates)

Your opinions?

    I do the dungeons on live now because I like the content.

    I'll likely do them next patch after previewing it, because I like the content.

    I think your making a mountain out of molehill.

    That's your experience, you can't speak for people like me. I play the game that lets me enjoy myself. I don't play it in order to take advantage of the best and most powerful set up in which everything becomes a push over. Because of this I still run into plenty of content that destroys me cause I set my build up with plenty of flaws as many of you would no doubt point out with disdain if I listed it here, not to mention the flood of "L2P" remarks I'd get.

    And honestly, making things easier would only prove to help me enjoy myself further, cause frankly I'm a teeny bit of a sore loser. And that's the point of it all isn't it? To enjoy ourselves.

    I always thought that we spent the time playing games to have fun.

    I do agree that there needs to be a challenge, and that everything shouldn't be given out like Halloween candies....

    But, good grief people...it's just a game! If you are no longer having fun then by all means find one that does float your boat.




    Life is too short!





    Don't mind me, I'll just be over here playing ESO until I'm no longer having fun ;)

    Not easier... less complicated. Especially for PuGs. Which is actually a good thing it means less drama for groups which is a good thing for players.

    Day one of playtest and all pve is dead.

    Makes poisons killing pvp seem like underachieving.

    And weapon ults have whcked pvp without even being downloadef yet.

    Wow.

    I don't know whether you noticed it or not, VO or Aether won't drop proper Jewelry from Normal Trials any more. Well, that is a huge hit to any PvEr.
