Maelstrom arena is the worst experience i've ever had gaming

Are you talking about vet or normal, OP?

If you are doing vet, have you completed normal enough times to figure out the mechanics?

I really enjoyed the challenge of vMA and I think it's the best PvE content they have made so far and I applaud zos for not caving (on this occasion) to lazy, bad and self-entitled players who demands everything without putting in the effort to deserve it.

how can you applaud someone for not caving when they never do what the people want? Its like : "Good job on doing what you always do witch is nothing!"

I must say ive beaton normal a few times and accidentally set vet and didnt make it past first boss.. I really dont understand though, maelstrom is optional first of all so you dont even need to do it, especially on vet. Maelstrom gives the best weapons in the game, in every mmo there are solo quests. What makes someone think that the best weapons in the game shouldnt be extrememly hard to acquire. I personall would like to complete it when i get geared correctly but i 100% feel that their should be some content that not everyone can complete.

I had way worse gaming experiences that vMA.

Like trying to PvP in some p2w game and you get oneshot by a dude that spent 5000€ on gear and best weapons

Sure, vMA does have a lot of annoying rng elements that sucks and makes you want to ragequit. It's disgustingly biased towards ranged magicka builds + shield stack. But it's far from being "the worse" anything. It would be fairly enjoyable, with a few tweaks.

Was playing eve online in 00 one time. I followed through while I was running from some hostile in my best ratting ship. Lost a lot that day. My ship was everywhere.

Yeah i heard that game was very frustrating. I just don't get why you would want to be miserable gaming. I used to have fun gaming and honestly since i've picked up ESO i've lost that. So much potential but all i seem to do is beat my fists against the wall. I think it's going to push me away from gaming entirely I may as well go take up baseball

EVE is an entirely different ball park with different rules, where every action you make has consequences. It is largely player controlled, apart from missions for begginer, which are scripted. It reflects real world scenarios (in a sci-fi setting obviously) where you have to think and plan. It's more like a MMORTS/RPG which isn't really for the mainstream gamers, but some people like it.
I played it for years, but it is too time consuming for my lifestyle now.

endgame content that should not be beaten in veteran by undergeared, underpracticed people (myself included) some months after its out?

i´d like to invite you to a certain water temple in Hyrule, practicing is the real deal...

vMA is one of the best pieces of content this game has to offer to me.
Finally some challenge

Oh and btw, ZoS already confirmed they are never gonna nerf it and are happy about how players are progressing.

If it's not for you just don't play it really....
It's your life you can make your own choices.

Let's just judge this by who has the most agrees.....

30k dmg in ten seconds all in AOE form. Why is this fun? Lazy content can't come up with a better mechanic for literally every dungeon except AOE. Honestly I'm glad you put out this sort of content because it lets me know you don't have a clue what you're doing and i should spend my money elsewhere.

Another game designer expert. Sigh...

Doesn't take an expert to know huge amounts of AOE are lazy. Also troll elsewhere you've added nothing to this conversation.

Thanks to all the people who did offer advice and suggestions I appreciate the help
