My last appeal to ZOS: Make your game easier, let every gamer take part in content!

Francescolg

1. You will make MORE **$$ money $$** if you make the game "easy going", that includes: not-so-complicated IC/gold-dungeons, better undaunted (gold) boss drop chances for helmets, etc etc..
--> If you make ESO well accessible to more players (including casual players, guildless players, solo-players, UNORGANIZED players, etc.), the chances to sell more in your store will raise, the more players have access to the ESO contents (beside zone leveling, Cyrondil and normal dungeons). The chance to find a customer, who will spend hundreds of dollars in your store, are higher, if the game is appealing to all types of customers, not just the PvE-powergamers
--> If you make ESO a hardcore-pve-game you will maintain all that farmers/powergamers but, by doing so, ESO will die slowly.
--> PvP is much more interesting if PvP stays full of players, who are consciuous that "they have more or less the same chances" (combat the real "sources" of 1/2-shot builds, your 50% less damage does not help!)

2. You will please more players, if you keep this game interesting for random groups, that do not use TeamSpeak (!), I mean the guys that do not spend more than 2 hours in the game every day. Actually, especially IC-dungeons are not doable for random groups. That content of the game should not be suited just for powergamers but for everybody. Normal mode should be "easy mode", while in gold mode errors should not lead to instant death. You can still keep it difficult by less penalizing of player errors.

3. Put VR 15 and 16 Items together, as it has been the TRADITION in Eso before 1.7 / to have easily obtainable and farmable item sets THAT can compete with "raid dungeon stuff". Not long ago, I could buy a full purple item set for 10k from any crafter. Doing that raised my interest in the game much more, as I was able to play with set-combinations, etc... That way of optimizing your character was a part of the ESO-game experience and because of the affordability it was accessible to everybody, even the ones without much gold /or/ time /or/ connections in the game.
--> Getting VR 16 items (and all relative goodies), instead, is a pain in the A... There is also a consistent gap between players who own VR 16 items + glyphs and sets as Molag Kena for PvP and players who use VR 14 armors. (That gap was not existant before, when comparing vr12- to vr14 items). The reason lies also in the new golde4 n-gylphs, why did you change them!

4. Bring real auction houses in the game. The current guild-based system lead to "Berlusconi players" controlling the markets, or lets call them Donald-Trump players. They can dictate prices, as well as they do apply market-control (complicated topic, I'll not explain it). Often they lead the trading guilds, with all consequences! (less well game experience)
I do not want other players (powergamers) that control their own auction houses (often they make arbitrary decisions, or guild-rules, etc.)!

5. Reduce the PvE-powergamer/guild content to raid-dungeons, as it has been before the introduction of IC! Actually, the game has too many areas which are described as "too difficult"...! (not good!) Do not give that many goodies just to powergamers (if you want to continue to be a pvp-based game..), that goodies are Molag-Kena set, golden glyphs, etc. You know what I mean!

I'll fail to post about half of this because it will just incite more anguish, but I will say. They're looking to create more trials apparently in future DLCs, it's just a matter of time.

BuggeX

wow 2.0 enought said,

and btw, since i am italian, i like to be a Berlusconi Mafioso which controll the market -.-

edit: molag Kena set is just crap for pvp, increast cost is never good in pvp
soulders can be optain even by silver chest.

Wait, what content in this game is hard? Besides the loading screen final boss of course

andreasv

I am a casual player. I haven't gotten any of my toons to V16 and I am playing since early release. I absolutely enjoyed the Veteran difficulty back then but am happy with what is right now. I know there is content that I will never manage and rewards I will never get. But that's life I guess. And in the end there is always something I can work towards and be happier should I finally manage to achieve it.

The last thing I want is that this / or any game starts to cater for me not having found a solution to challenging content yet!

Leifnier

They took a right step with pve with ic making mobs a bit harder

Cillion3117

I disagree. I prefer the challenge and the sense of accomplishment that comes with defeating something difficult. If everything was too easy, I think it would cause more people to check out and head to other games.

Steel_Brightblade

Wow, I'm a casual player and if things were easier I'm pretty sure my entire guild would be bored, we like to have to try to earn our rewards and feel accomplishment when we beat things. So hope zos ignore this post entirely as it only effects a minority of lazy players that want everything with no effort.

Feakin' Casuals... This game is already supereasy and yet damn casuals want to make it even easier. I say: Make it HARDER. There are NO challenges in this game anymore!

Always want everything with no effort, hmm? That's not how it works!

Go play some cookie-cutter games seriously.

Haha always laugh when people bring up the term Casuals, as if only hard core no lifers are the only people who should be allowed to have an opinion on a game. As if Games are not meant for people to play and enjoy as a form of relaxation, that if you play casualy then you are some how lesser than those who take it super serious, those hardcore types who's only interest seems to be to take all the fun out of games.

You may find find fun in hard content, but not everyone does, and not everyone has the same skill level, or has the time to reach said skill level,

It's an entertainment product not a second job, and Casuals are funding gaming.

Posts like this make me hate casual players. Game companies are already catering way too much to people like you. (I'm looking at you, Blizzard)

I'm pretty much a casual, but almost agree with you. But let's not tar everyone with the same brush. I also think the game should be harder, but that does not mean grind..e er... lol! what's the word for that?

Nice. You made me read all of that even though I hate reading.
Anyway so your opinion is that eso will flourish if the content is easy. Fair enough.

My opinion that it will die as soon as people get their gear (in which case you want it to happen very quickly and easily) and then they find out that there's nothing to do in the game anymore because everything's so easy (it's easy af already lol).

Your 5th point is completely ***, which brings me to conclusion that you want Skyrim-2-chat-with-friends-online.

Flameheart

The only major difficult 4-men-group content are the two new IC instances. Otherwise Archives and Hel Ra on normal mode are easy as cake. Sanctum is doable, the only major difficult boss there is the first one, Mantikor.

In compare to other MMOs I call this game not easy, but already average if not somewhat below average in difficulty. I am not a fan of too high difficulty too, although I was a socalled "progamer" in other MMOs (EQ, WoW, SWTOR...to call a few) a few years ago (age and job change a lot of things).

I like it as it is, no need to make it even more easy. I did my first successfull WGT veteran run two weeks weeks ago and I still freaking hate the planar inhibitor, but in the end she lied dead to my feet.

The issue of this MMO is not, that it might be too difficult, the issue is, that a lot of players were solo players coming from the TES game sequels for example and have no MMO experience at all or a clue how that sort of games work. It's not my fault, that you were seduced by Zenimax and Bethesda to come to here.

MMO means:

-group playing
-raids
-teamwork
-socializing
-competition

Btw...what superior raid loot do you mean ? All the drops from trials were and are utter crap drops. Some of the best "drops" in this game are still crafted V16 gear, which you are able to craft to your personal preferences (and I like that btw). It may last a while to get the materials for V16 gear, but it is doable by everyone, even solo. On the other side with crafted V16 gear you are completely competitive for the content.

ericprydz82ub17_ESO

They don't need to make the game easier. What the players need are more tools to use so they can better tackle challenging content. In game buff/debuff tracker is one of those tools every player needs across every platform. Another one would be character nameplates so we could attach debuffs to those frames and also so we can better track enemies.

I just want to say that I am utterly disgusted at the OP's post and hope no one else is wanting instant gratification. The OP gives casual players a bad name.

But I guess you deserve one for insulting people taking part in this discussion.

SemiD4rkness

Why dont they sell characters in crown store for example:

vr16 DK, valkyn skoria set and 5 pieces legendary gear of your choice. All skills and all their morphs max leveled and also all achievements completed.
Once you buy it you find out that the game is over for you so you uninstall and go play next COD game.

Freaking casuals.

This game is already pretty casual compared to others MMOs ive played. Dont make it worse than it is! (and i mean difficulty, drop rates, etc)

Waseem

if they make the game easy then it'll die.
easy drop on monster helmets= ppl get the helmet and never do the dungeon again
easier set drop.. same story

Hmm.. let's see now..

"Freakin' Casuals"
"Damn Casuals"

What was that about insulting people again?

myrrrorb14_ESO

This game is a bit too easy imo.

They should scale up the difficulty more as you level up.

The only thing difficult is vet dungeons / trials and thats mostly because console sucks and PUGs are ...unreliable

Robo_Hobo

I'm a 'casual' but I'd rather things not be made easier, if I ever get the oppurtunity to do group content I'd prefer if it were challenging. I'm still dissapointed about Doshia and others that got made easier, they were pretty fun.

Jura23

I don't think this is too hard. So far I was able to finish most of v16 vet dungeons I played on the first try. I probably had luck to play with competent ppl though. And I did 10 minutes research on the boss mehcanics before going to dungeon. I haven't played them all yet though.

I am a casual but I find it fun, trying to improve and slowly collecting gear and materials to craft my own. That's what keeps me playing at rank 16. Only problem is the grinding as I don't have the time to spend hours upon hours in sewers, grinding materials. They should fix grinding by making things accessible in different ways, not by grinding. And I am honestly as casual as it gets lol.

vamp_emily

I find it hard to do some things in the game, and it kind of sucks when you can't find someone to help you.

However, the best times I had in the game is when I was in a group fighting hard to complete something and won.

I vote no for making things easy.

Nikkiy

Everyone can join a guild with like-minded people and use TS and have fun. (we all have to start somewhere!!)
Just cause 2 out of all the veteran dungeons are not pugable doesnt mean they need to be nerfed.
It just takes some adjustment, a little work on your build and rotation and getting some decent gear.

slumber_sandb16_ESO

If you want the good stuff you have to put effort into getting it. It gives goals so people continue playing rather than having everything handed to them and then getting bored and quitting.

Van_0S

Zos, just add easy mode for dungeons.
