Since there are a lot of people saying that the new difficulty settings are quite hard... could anyone post a video of a normal run of the mill trash/mob engagement? I mean, I don't find it that hard.

    The single fact that VR11 and VR12 mobs are easier than VR7 says it all.

    Exactly. Leveling in Craglorn by grinding mobs is faster then questing in VR9-10 and way less painful.

    Well we have some death recap images who show 1800 damage attacks.
    From mobs, not three dot bosses.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    That's a strange thought, OP. You make it sound like the devs are trying to aid or protect someone/some group in that VR10 wave. Zenimax Media is a private corporation that doesn't have the public shareholders so it could be possible I suppose.

    Maybe some VR10s are related to someone at ZM or something. Just think how nice it would be to have a $100 million+ game customized to your needs. Must be some billionaire's kid or something (yeah, definitely envious).

    I'm a lowly VR1 and I must say that I haven't noticed much of a difference. I spent 30 minutes soloing groups of 1-2 mobs in PvE last night, just to see what everyone was complaining about, and didn't see much difference other than perhaps it took me a bit longer to get enemies down.

    That being said - I also heard all the whining about sword and shield (my default play style) so I tried a 2h greatsword. Bear in mind I have NO passives in this weapon line vs, ALL passives in 1h/shield. It was quite a bit more challenging with the 2h weapon - my health started depleting, often to the half-way mark (and I have 49 attributes in health) until I activated armor actives. With 1h/shield I rarely lose ANY health at all against 2 NPCs.

    I actually - and very oddly - felt a lot more powerful in PvP as a DK with sword/shield. Had a fun time taking down some VR8s - which usually doesn't happen - and my survivability seemed to greatly improve. May have been fluke - but my initial impression was: I feel stronger and like I have greater survivability, which is the opposite of what everyone else is saying with the DK line.

    But back on track: with my default pre-patch loadout mobs (at least VR1) feel about the same; perhaps they have more health and do more damage, but it's not very noticeable to me, except if I switch to a weapon line with NO passives unlocked. But that feels like an apples to oranges comparison.

    Hey, just made this video to show that it is hardly any difference now from before.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_vwkOIFJNI&feature=youtu.be

    Because anybody actually complained about VR 1-5 difficulty or Craglorn. And yes that play is slow as crap.

    V7 NB here. You may need to switch to heavy armor,lol. I was 1 shot killed last night while grinding. There has been a definite increase in the damage output by trash mobs.

    It is like no one can read. Repeatedly, people have pointed out this is only happening in VR5 through VR10 areas. Not before and not after. If you are in a VR1 or VR3 area, or in Craiglorn, there is NO difference.

    I'm pre-50 so I can't experience it in any case, but it is offputting to continue to level. Well, actualy I can't much continue to level anyway, because I can't get into Stonefalls to finish the Main Story Quest and finish off Molag Bal because that zone seems to be in permanent rollback, but that is a separate issue.

    Anyway, Don't learn2play, just Learn2Read.

    I just want to see. I dont see any evidence aside from people talking about it. Im not saying that the bug doesnt exist, Im asking for visual evidence.
