New Single player Dungeons/Story mode

VinxTerranova

Here's another thing for me to "complain" about. After I made my necromancer, I had to play the story mode again. This isnt' a problem but it reminded me of World of Warcraft's Artifact story mode. I really wish this game offered the same thing.

For those who aren't familiar with WoW, I'm talking about a story mode where you get to play your role. For example, if you're a healer, you no longer have to run through Cold Harbour and take 2-5 minute boss battle fights. Instead you would heal your allies as they fight the boss. Or if you're a tank, and vice versa. I really hate healer's dps in general. But this mostly stems from the idea that I really enjoyed healing NPCs. As a healer you had to do specific things that healers do. Cleansing, healing, rez'ing fallen allies (in WoW) just minor things that add to the story's depth. Instead of Abnur, Sai, Lyris, following you around like a puppy dog and then all you really do is just heal lol

Tank story would be similar, except that you'd have to hold aggro off your allies, keep them from dying, etc. So they could make new boss mechanics to switch to others etc to make sure the tank keeps aggro since this game's mechanics are slightly different.

DPS obviously wouldn't really change much. Maybe except that they might have a healer and tank of their own to maximize their parse.

Of course, the story mode is done, but that's why I also suggested single player dungeons. This way you could be your role and still delve into a story. I just really enjoy PvE content. I find it enjoyable to cleanse a poison from a teammate or heal them. PC or not. I find PvP too competitive.

What do you guys think?

instead of constantly trying to push out more content, it would be great if they expanded some of the current content- particularly the group dungeon content...

to go through the dungeon, performing a specific role with an interesting group of undaunted NPCs sounds like an absolute blast...

Have an awesome I've always wondered what it's like to be a healer or tank in this game and this would give me a chance instead of making weird hybrid DPS/self-heal toons. Plus it would be cool to see the base game dungeons without having to grind my teeth at the stress or deal with my fellow humans

I'd LOVE it. Have another awesome.

I'm all in for more options/fun for solo players. And I don't see any downside here for those who don't enjoy solo play. My healer absolutely wished she could have focused on her role when traveling with the 5 Companions during the main quest. And I agree with OP that a similar arrangement for group dungeons would be great - where you are assigned a group of NPCs that complement your chosen role. Those who want to group with players, that's fine, but I'll always prefer NPCs; they stay in character and are always ready to play when I am. This game was marketed to groupsters and soloists alike and there is plenty of room for options that support all.

Solo play is why I even gave ESO a chance/interest. I know how fun it is to play as a larger community but MMO games always turned me off. It's nice to have a game like this that gives more story and lore to an Elder Scrolls fan without forcing them to play a MMO like a typical user in WOW.

Ide much rather just go out on my own and BE alone, so many people you can encounter often take away with getting sucked in like I normally like to.

I'm going to be the grumpy one here. When I read "but it reminded me of World of Warcraft's..." I quit reading the rest. I'm tired and bored of all the WoW comparisons and have decided soon as I see the game mentioned I am going to quit reading the post. Other than this one time I am also going to refrain from replying.

And to others please don't let this comment derail the thread. Like I said I am being grumpy.

We ask for a story mode over and over

I support this op
