Should the Normal/Veteran option apply to more content?

mateosalvaje

I tried to make the title clear, and I don't even know if it's a possibility. I've seen discussions about reverting Craglorn to it's previous harder difficulty as well as people talking about how overland content is too easy once you reach a certain level. Personally when new areas like the beautiful Summerset are released, I don't use food to keep fights interesting, but even then the average dungeon boss dies within 10 or so hits. I think it might be possible to have different difficulty instances in places other than just group dungeons, but I've been wrong before and I'll be wrong again

It'd be fine as a option, but the real question is whether or not the return would be worth ZOS investing the effort to make and balance "Vet" versions of normal overland zones.

The failure of Craglorn as an adventure zone argues probably not.

DanteYoda

No.

Sorry not a huge fan of fake challenge (Grind) with no or garbage rewards...

MLGProPlayer

Yes. I would like the option to be (or not to be) challenged by more content in the game.

Should be easy to implement for delves and public dungeons as they are already separate instances from the overworld.

No. I think some optional mechanics triggers may be called for, but I don't think simply adding a vet toggle would be useful.

My gawd I would love to set Overland to vet, It so ridiculously easy if your are max CP player. When I get feeling fed up with the with Trials or PvP then I go back to questing, but anything normal mob dies to Sub Assault plus Acid Spray. I'm ganking whole groups of mobs before they even agro >_<

So up the reward qaulity. Beside if you feel its grindy then just stay on normal >_< Normal same quality drops as now, vet up the quality a level, DLC chance for gold drops? Hell with jewelry prices increased/guaranteed purples from dolmens would still be F-ing amazing. Even if it was tied to something like quality depended on the number of participants.

I love the fact that group event like Rahni'Za, School of Warriors or Skyreach (the full thing) are hard enough that as a CP capped character there is still a reasonable chance I'll wipe once or twice trying to solo them. Miss the days where the first time we tried to do the School I had to switch to my tank and actually tank it with 3 friends, because we couldn't do it with me on my Healer.

I remember arena in that location. And that was awful. 3 nightblades, some of them with 25k single hit attack. I exploit them with landscape, still wiped like 15 times (each time you need to fight all waves again). This extremes doesn't need at all.

If you could set the whole world between School and regular world. If the School was either now and vMA wouldn't that be better? If Greenshade Delve was a regular Craglorn delve instead of the steam roll it is now? Would that not be better? This is a self toggle ability, if its to hard, or you just want some quick burning then just set it to normal. Just like taking normal for the Undaunted dailies.

Yes for delves and public dungeons definitely. Buff the rewards as well.

Party difficulty applying to all instances, not just Dungeons/Trials would be nice.

The Overland is permanently *** though, unless they renege on the promise of 1T and start making difficult zones again.

Aesthier

No.

Simplest Fix:

Implement a hardcore character mode at the character select screen which enabled veterans to create a toon that would suffer a permanent debuff that reduces "all" stats by a certain percentage on that specific character.

They could still play with their friends while enjoying the increased difficulty of "all" content.

This makes much more sense than creating new servers or implementing some type of toggle for players which lends itself to more breakage.

Hell ZoS could even implement new titles for those who complete certain content using said toons.

Just a simple lifetime debuff that is applied to the character on creation.

Pretty straight down the middle! I was thinking it might be an option since the toggle is already there, as are multiple instances?

Permadeath. Like the good old Diablo 2.

EvilCroc

No.

No, I do not want somebody doing challenging content and then being proud of it.
