Difficulty Spikes

Khivas_Carrick · April 2014

Is it me, or is the Veteran Rank/lv48 + Content just a little bit too hard? Like I died way too many times to Molag Bal's Minions and had massive walks back, let alone Molag Bal himself. Then in Glenumbra (I'm Pact, I assume it's counter clockwise from what faction you are, but my second run about put me in Stro M'Kai) I'm getting my ass handed to me by German speaking ghosts and a single mob that can kill me in 3 hits, and if a group runs at me, which they do a lot actually, most often literally out of nowhere, e.g I'll be running along a road then suddenly 5 guys will be on top of me.

This might just be an angry rant, but am I the only guy here that thinks the game is just a bit too difficult for supposedly simple questing? A regular group of mobs should not present dungeon quality difficulty, that's just insane.

Also is it me or do the friendly NPC's in this game just do the absolute dumbest *** possible? Like I mean DUMBEST *** possible, such as not move or fight or heal me when I'm sitting there out of magicka and stamina dying -__-

Supposedly the Veteran content is for elite PvE players, however they have made it a requirement to be effective in PvP so we all have to do it. So yes the difficulty ramps up while the pace of advancement ramps down.

I get that, but what I asked was it just me or is it just a bit too difficult to play through alone? Like I get it should be challenging, but is it really necessary to be this difficult at times? I mean it's gotten a little easier here and there, but at the same time it's still a struggle that shouldn't have to exist.
