    Well, it's not as hard as maw of lorkahj was in my opinion, but we've practiced for a few months now every single day, so we came very prepared. But calling it a walk in the park? It definetly isn't :expressionless:

    This is exactly why new Trials/Raids should not be released on PTS. Not to downplay your achievement but having the past few months to practice on PTS definitely dulls the shine from your award. Hopefully ZOS learns from this and keeps new PvE progression content off PTS in the future.

    Hey all!

    Just a quick thread to say well done to all our guildmates in Hodor but also a huge thanks to Zenimax and their dungeon team on creating such an awesome trial. Thanks to @ZOS_Finn and his team, again.

    Congrats!

    Now how about making a youtube guide video for the rest of us that are not that skilled like you :)

    I hate to be the one saying this, but I don't think we'll be uploading any guides whatsoever of this trial in the near future due to competition. Sorry!

    LOL It's not as if they've done a blind pug-run. They're organized and they prepared for weeks on PTS. Congrats are due, but use some common sense before throwing shade. This happens in WOW at every new content release, too, with hardcore progression guilds.

    ^ This is the correct answer. @fericirea

    Not sure why but having a guild come in and claim "World First" after having exclusive access to Morrowind PTS to practice really rubs me the wrong way.

    Maybe it's just me though.

    Morrowind has been Live on PC for just a couple of hours now.

    Halls of Fabrication? Already beaten.

    Doesn't seem like much of a challenge there, ZOS.

    I haven't seen anything changed about it really to become challenging. Few weeks ago HM was like 2m more HP and that's that - according to friends.

    Then again, Hodor did practice vHoF when PTS was up, so they were prepared
    Edited by Blackbird_V on May 22, 2017 5:22PM
    Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.

    Gotta say I'm not impressed. Abusing the fact that enough of an alliance got the beta invite (I'm sure the beta testers weren't supposed to tell anyone else they were beta testers) to practice, and quite obviously planned to get online as soon as the servers opened to get this first, before many others had a chance to even look at the new content...

    Sorry guys, you're obviously skilled and dedicated but this isn't worth bragging about. It's like Usain Bolt bragging that he got to the end of a 100 metre track first, while everyone else was still in the dressing room..

    A better question is who was the first guild to clear it in PTS? Not to discredit your achievement, but those are the praiseworthy people. If it was also your guild, gg.

    @Love Wizard

    I will quote the post I wrote on my reddit thread.

    I agree with you partially. I think it's important for experienced raid groups and endgame players to test the content to see that things work as intended, giving us a better experience when the content hits live. What I'd personally like to see though, was if there was major changes in the trial at RELEASE or making it way harder. Or, if their QA team can actually test things without godmode :D

    Gotta love how so many people complain that Hodor finished it today.
    It's not like the other guilds didn't go on the pts to do the trial before the release and additionally do you really think that Hodor wouldn't have done it first even if they couldn't test it on the pts?
    Congratulations Hodor and good luck for the more juicy achievements

    Yeah, that's not really a change from before Morrowind dropped. NBs have been persona non grata ever since Wroble got ganked on the IC stream, and he started nerfing the snot out of them.

    @Love Wizard That I can agree with you on. If the purpose of PTS is to test stability then ZOS should put a trimmed down version of the trial with all elements represented to ascertain stability while still retaining difficulty and opaqueness once released.

    I think the issue a significant number of us have is the posting of this thread and the hubris it implies. You guys are undoubtedly great players but it's a bad look to post a thread declaring "World First" when you've had potentially guild-exclusive access to the content for weeks now on the PTS thus restricting your competition greatly.

    As stated, that's mostly on ZOS for not having the basic foresight and planning to ensure this situation cannot arise. Just a bad look all around.

    Just my opinion.

    The most challenge in my opinion, is the group effort and play style changes. Top players who spend insane amount of time invested in this game, are able to learn that within short time. I still think the trial is a real challenge and will be for a long time. Just because they completed it, doesn't mean it is easy. They are one of the oldest progression guilds in the game, and have worked hard for their group.
    Personally me and our group have the 4th boss, down to around 20%. I really see a difference between a good experience group vs a less experience group since we doesnt have the same players each time. Sometimes are able to get to 4th boss within 50 mins, and other times we can still be stuck at the first bosses.
    I dont mind if they increase the difficulty on the trial, but I dont mind if they leave it as it is either.
    Well done guys.
