Zones Epic vs Normal

Artemiisia

Now that Veteran Zones are getting the huge nerf, many have asked for myself included. I look back and wish they had done it a tiny bit different.

In Age of Conan, they have made many +40 lvl zones epic, where u choose upon entering it, if you wanna play normal or epic, which means in epic, all bosses drop blues every time, should still be the cool down in Eso like now so it cant be exploited, and normal sometimes.

This means everybody gets what they want the casual player gets to quest in normal having the fun they want, and for those hungry for challenge guys goes to epic instances, and gets rewarded with the gear as well.

and we have seen you (ESO) already knows how to do this with group dungeons, when you make normal group dungeons to become veteran dungeons later on.

For me this will fix many of the angry posts, and you dont even have to meet middle way, u build both to get both the caseul and the elite players by doing this

I've not played AoC but this method of providing content both 'sides' can enjoy is used in other games (WOW being a prime example but not the only one) provide access to raid content for different player skills.

Of course, the elitists still whine that 'their' exclusive content is available to the 'casuals' but some people simply need to feel superior to others in a video game.

I don't see ZOS doing it, seems to me it's something the likely needs designing in, scaling an instance is a lot easier I'd have thought than scaling and entire zone.

I would like to see that option though.

I loved the fact I had been able to kill a epic lvl 62 boss alone as lvl 80 in AoC , took me like 20 mins to do it, some people asked me why I did it. I said because I can

It's an interesting idea but I see a slight issue here. I haven't played AoC but it seems to me that if rewards on an Epic area will be significantly better that on normal ones most of people will play on Epic and very few will be left in normal zones. Hardcore players will solo Epic zones, everyone else will just group for it.

you would think thats the case, but there are rarely any groups going into the epic zones in Age of Conan, maybe thats the low number of players, the fan base has been gone up abit lately with the unchained versions of their dungeons on such.

Hardcore players find themselves as well having real trouble with the epic zones, they are super hard, if you do them at your own level. Since they made them for grouping
