This Game is Hard - But I Love it!

mrhoot50rwb17_ESO

Last weekend, I played the Archeage Beta and it was ridiculously easy. The quests were shallow and the whole game had a children's console feel.
Playing ESO, I find it so very much harder! This is a good thing however. Every time I leave a city and venture out into the wilds, I feel like I am in danger all the time. I find that I'm holding my breath and creeping around peering at every rock and tree in case it conceals a lurking critter.
I hope it keeps this way all the way through (I have only got to level 9.8 so far).
And most important of all, no issues with the game!

I had a blast when I started my first character and had those same feelings during the first few levels.

There are times I have that feeling. It's wonderful.

And I agree about ArcheAge. Soooo boring.

This game is hard?

Nope

The only time it's possible to die is when you either

A. try to run through a dungeon and aggro every mob
B. Go to a higher level zone
C. Try to solo the hard public dungeons in each zone (actually the bosses are still solo-able, its the mobs in between that kill you if your solo)

World bosses can mostly be soloed if you build correctly, the anchors can be done alone depending on the class or with one other guy and a little kiting if you're squishy, and the bosses in dungeons are an absolute joke. As a matter of fact, pretty much everything from 1-50 was stupidly easy. As for vet content, that isn't hard either; People can solo it while naked .


Even skyrim was harder than this, and that game was ALSO super easy. Oh, and for all you people about to say "if you want difficulty play dark souls" I did. It was hard at first, but once you get the hang of the combat the game is a cakewalk.

Bah, I wanted to try AA, but if it's like a children's game then I will pass.

I went ahead and cut out the crap, so I could quote you and not clutter the page...

Anyways..
I think you overlooked some of the information that was provided in the OP which makes your post a little bit unnecessary IMO.. They are level 9.8, so most are to assume this person is a new player and still in the first few zones..

With that being said.. They are probably getting use to the fighting mechanics, trying to find useful armor/weapons, understanding skills, and etc.

Sure the 1-50 content is easy, but when you are a new player to a new game.. It is not always "gravy train" for everyone.

Just because he's inexperienced and unable to properly apply basic combat mechanics (dodge rolls, cc breaks) after several hours of play, it doesn't mean the game is hard.

It's people like you that make communities toxic.

I shouldn't have insulted the OP, that was unwarranted and I am sorry. However, my original point still stands.

ArcheAge has better mount mechanics, that's it. TESO is way too stiff.

Just because you were able to apply said combat mechanics when you first signed in doesn't mean the game wasn't difficult for a new player.

you hardly got out from tutorial and tell people its a hard game? Stop trolling please.

The_Sadist

The game becomes relatively easy until you hit Craglorn, that being said I'm glad to hear you're enjoying your ESO experience.

Aprodite

I tried hard to level in AA till lvl 17 doing kill x amount of whatever quests and kill boss after as mage. Boring.

stefanosbekrwb17_ESO

teh game is actually a big faceroll, this doesnt make it any less fun but yeah id love some actual challenging content that you need to use your brain a bit

Nermy

Aye, someone has something positive to say about the game and how he's enjoying it and get's trolled for it!

I found the game really hard on my first run through. Now that I have learned a bit more about builds it's not so tough but I enjoyed that frustration and the sweat and tears I had to put into berating some quest bosses.

I hope your enjoyment continues...
