Remember when......

Fireborn

Remember back in the day when mudcrabs where op? When 2 or 3 of them would own you and make you cry nerf! Nerf! Nerf! Back when exploring Tamriel was actually dangerous.....

Well they were nerfed, along with everything else. Now exploring Tamriel is more like being in an amusment park. It might look scary or dangerous but really it's not. Where the hardest and most dangerous thing now is managing your inventory. Lol

Just some light hearted reminiscing.....
Ahh the good ol days!

V16 mudcrabs are no joke in Wrothgar. They'll mess you up if you're not paying attention.. Lol

Vyle_Byte

Oh yes, I recall being slaughtered by mudcrabs! They were OP as ***! haha! They can still do a little damage but no where near what they used to... hmm sounds like everything else that's gotten the nerf hammer in the past 2 years!

Can you imagine being high as **** with a killer mudcrab on your heels?

I am sure the game will eventually become hard, dangerous and, above all, tedious. That way, players will pay for new content and then again to skip it.

Kinda like that time you though you could swim to get to Alessia and didn't bother to read the sign

Lightninvash

I miss being able to swim under water and fight under water battles haha. Or having things actually get dark where you need a torch or the night vision of khajiit lol

Spacemonkey

And then you started fearing mudcrabs. And began killing them on sight. And then accidently killed the best merchant in the game. >_> it's all the cliffracers' fault really. <- dreading the day they add those

If they do I hope they are summonable @Spacemonkey http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/149698/summonable-beast-merchants-and-banker-concept/p1

I do remember when the PVE was much harder in beta. Lots of my friends couldn't complete the first DC fighter's guild quest with the named Harvester... The sense of accomplishment after beating it after half a dozen tries was amazing.

This is what started my reminiscing. I did that quest last night. It's Doshia the Harvester. I remeber at PC launch I just couldn't win this fight. Now on PS4 it took me maybe 10-15 sec to beat her.

Kind of disappointing. Lol

Yes! Remember well, being killed by a group of mud crabs lurking around a pond in Auridon.

I remember! Mudcrabs, Doshia, Guttripper! I remember the fuss around those tho I never had a problem with my Templars because our best abilities were the first in each tree. Keep Nova for the right time and -Bam!
Only time in my game-time with ESO I felt OP as a Templar... Good times!
But then came Mannimarco! What a struggle this guy was, must have tried a dozen of times and only when I was 2 levels above did I manage to defeat him.. And even Molag Bal ... what a fight!
Yep good times! Starter zones are now a total cheese, that's too bad, I learned how to fight thanks to the main quest!
Now people cheese it all, go to PvP, get wrecked and complain because they have that idea that they are so strong they can not be defeated... oh well

Edit: This was in early Beta... at launch the game had already been tremendously nerfed...

Mannimarco was a nightmare Molag bal was pleasant experience in comparison.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the wasps in lower Craglorn xD they would wipe out groups of players...

The archers in Craglorn.

The Storm Atronachs in the beginning of the game ...bloody hell, they would wipe out entire groups of players in dolmens.

Banished Cells first boss.

Veteran Spindleclutch spider spawns during bossfight.

Then there was the middle phase, where they fixed some things and removed dodging option in veteran Elden Hollow, during Bogdan The Nightflame bossfight. You could no longer dodge the fire, but Bogdan could jump right after he spit his fire, so the whole team would wipe.

Veteran Banished Cells achievement required 5 daedroths to be kept alive, and they used to deal much more damage back then.

I feel so lucky that I chose to play Aldmeri Dominion, because it used to be a killer for DC and EP questers who got to AD as their Silver and Gold area. UNDEADS AND DREMORA EVERYWHERE - and before prenerf, before players had researched traits and had access to shiny armor and all that, AD was a killer faction to deal with on veteran levels.

Hahahaha totally true!!! I had to try like 3 times for Molag Bal though but it was nothing to the dozen of times for Manni!

Totally right! and Harvesters in general... I would try to sneak pass all of those. Some World bosses were really tough: I remember a few that would require 7 or 8 players to kill.. what a thrill
And soul gems were really valuable as we would die a loooooot.
I always play AD but in Cadwell Silver, I remember some World bosses that would swarm a lot of adds that would wipe quite a few of us hehe

Nope. I remember the lag/latency since we got V12 and there was not even the notion of chump points

Nope . I remember however, how ZOS messed up the perfectly balanced launch day difficulty in all Vr1-Vr10 when they launched Crag. I remember how I couldn't do some dumb Vr8-9 quests even though I was soloing Crag and Crag delves since the day they launched it.

I remember how they said they hot fixed the difficulty even though we could still see Vr9 versions of atros with double the hp and damage of Crag Vr11 atros for months after.

I also remember how their actual final fix was to nerf all Vr1-10 zones to the ground.

daemonios

Silver and Gold before the nerf were really hard... I had to think twice and assess the situation before taking on a 3-enemy trash group with my Sorc.

Doshia was just epic. A level 10 or lower, probably not 5 skills on your bar, encountering a Harvester in a cramped room, not knowing what to do and just watching her wreck you while healing herself every few seconds... Man, it took an hour or not before I beat her the first time.

Good times...

N0TPLAYER2

Please continue. Nice read.

Tell me about launch compared to now. Only 1-50? No craglorn.. No champion points.

What about the entire engine that was changed? But someone data mined and is still in the game supposedly?

Crown store included with Launch?

Did they change stance overnight and change methods about subscriptions? Were they ever forced to be upfront? Or were they? Did a lot of people quit when that happened?

Please elaborate on what happened with everything being delayed a year? Supposedly orsinium was done a year ago? Same with ic?

I play daily now and love the game. But only began in July of this year, Xbox. I enjoy hearing about when things were different. Where's the chef outfit?! Lol

That was before my veteran time though, so I never experienced it. When I got to craglorn as a v2-v3 or something, I wasn't able to kill a single enemy there, because I played in looted random armor, used the wrong skills and struggled at solo quests in Silver

I used to be a vampire templar healer in heavy armor + bow, so I usually spawned at shrines, because I could never afford soul gems. I kept dying... I remember that when I could afford it, I bought empty soul gems at a mystic and filled them up in Bleakrock Isle and even there I would sometimes die, and spawn at shrine to save a gem, then go and try to fill the rest of my empty grand soul gems.
