Orsinium dlc is easy mode.

Tholian1

I finally got around to doing quests in Wrothgar on my v16 Stamblade and am surprised at how easy the content is. It seems to be even easier than some lower level content. I was able to solo the group events in both dungeons and kill all the bosses in them with relative ease. This was surprising to me because I am not a very good player without much of a proper skill rotation and usually the first to die in most group content.

I don't enjoy frustratingly hard content in games, but even I have to admit that the difficulty should be increased a bit in Orsinium. Is the Thieves Guild dlc more challenging or about the same?

Did you try Maelstrom Arena? If yes, please try again without dying (for achievement) and be happy with a difficult task from Orsinium DLC.

Keep in mind wrothgar is a leveled zone. That means the balance has to account for players of level 3(and of the corresponding skill level) playing there.

There can be players in there that don't even have weapon swap yet so it's designed for everyone.

I haven't tried that yet. I was just surprised that the dungeons in Orsinium were so easy for me to solo compared to others. Maybe it is the CP I have gained since doing those other dungeons that made the ones in Wrothgar seem easier.

So I am guessing that means they have to have a sort of middle ground with the difficulty. That makes sense.

Well I'm off to the maelstrom arena then.

Wondering around in wrothgar may be easy. Maelstrom arena is one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life.

LordTareq

I too was suprised at how easy it was when doing the public dungeons today for the first time with a friend. But he pointed out the content was for all levels, so I suppose it makes sense. Still wish the bosses were a bit more interesting if not more difficult, only the public group boss with the flames was somewhat fun, the rest were just glorified mobs with more health and damage.

I for one enjoyed the story in Orsinium, didn't need any challenge as there already is vMA.

I enjoyed how Kurag has changed over the time and got influenced by his clan-mother. I always say: "Former good guys always make the best villains"

Maestrom arena is a huge DPS wall. If you don't rock that way you might not like it as you'll be forced to change your build around in order to beat it.


(no I'm not ranting on it - I'm personally fine with being stuck on it because I'm too stubborn - just warning it might not be all the chocolate fountains and jackpot people make it out to be - I have way more fun beating World Bosses in Orsinium solo or as a 2-3 man team than doing Maestrom)

sadownik

Face it people, thats how its going to be. To be able to sell dlc Z. will make it easy enough for a lvl 10 player to walk there. Therefore for max lvl player it will be *** easy and only content will be eso "endgame" - solo arena, trial (yes one trial) and totally broken pvp. Enjoy!

Try to solo a WB, there are 6 of them I think........plus the Arena.

Try and solo the mad ogre and the poachers camp and say that. I can solo the other 4 on my Sorc with ease these two are impossibru solo. Rest of it bar maelstrom is stupid easy even on what was my level 3 templar.

Did you put all your CP into your level 3 guy? I mean of course its easy if you have a lot of advantages. I would like to see a video tho of you soloing stuff on your level 3 templar. Even with all your CP I dont see it being as easy as you make it out to be.

Honestly he is kinda right. Not about Wrothgar but the who zone scaling thing. Like enemies have to be easy cause when I play in it I am seeing level 20s 30s even level 9s taking on and killing mobs of what I am seeing as VR16 level enemies.

Like Wrothgar isn't easy but the whole zone scaling thing makes it easy and I honestly hope ZOS never does zone scaling again.

Prepare to be disappointed. All new zones are going to scale just like TG.

They need to give us 2 separate zones/phases. One for Veterans and one for non Vets. Veterans may go to the non vet zone but they get lesser rewards there - whereas non Vets may not go into the Veteran version until they are VR1. It's so damned easy now that I am quickly running out of interest in doing the DLCs on Alts since they are a ridiculously easy cakewalk as it is now.

Waffennacht

The only hard WB in Wrothgar is the Mad Ogre and only cuz his spawns heal him.

If you're so hard up for a challenge start with Poachers, then work your way into normal dungeon soloing, then veteran dungeons, then trials solo.

Keep in mind not all dungeons are soloable. Such as WGT on normal, or veteran. I know for a fact, Banished Cells and Elden Hollow are two Vet dungeons you can solo.

At any level of this game I've been able to solo any (at close levels, me 19 boss 20 example) world boss type content. Enjoy the story etc... that's PvE.

Then you can go PvP for another challenge

Yup. You have to remember that not everyone has CP to withstand those dungeons alone. Some people in Orsinium aren't even Veterans yet so they don't have any CP. Maybe if this DLC catered to just high-level Vets, I could understand why you would have the right idea to be a little underwhelmed with how easy everything is. But this DLC is for everyone - low leveled non-Vet players and all.

Wrothgar is a leveled zone plus its designed more for solo play than group play unlike craglorn. If you have a lot of CP, great gear and all that then you're going to steamroll most things in the zone.

Could always reset your CP and wear downgraded armour and weapons just to make it harder and more of a challenge.

MarcoPolo

It is on the most part easy for maxed out characters even the world bosses are easy with a good build and a bit of patience and lots of dodging on some of them, the hardest content in wrothgar iv found is the maelstrom arena, if you find it to easy go solo craglorn, or lower your armour level

Tryxus

Lemme guess...

You've completed Maelstrom Arena on Normal mode?
