New solo arena

Maggi12

Do we need new solo arena content like maelstrom arena? I like MA, but it has so frustrating reward system, based on random, but lets not focus on it.
I feel the answer from devs would probably be: "yes, why not? but it is low prio for us now. Because such content is used by 10% of playerbase or even less".

it would have to be really easy for all the roleplayers...... so maybe just have the good weps drop on normal

Let's see, we have one solo arena, two quartet arenas and no duo or trio arena and if you are just looking at the special weapons, we technically have a duodectet arena (for 12 people).
I'd like to see more duo content where you can take more advantage of Guard for example and it asks for a completely different setup and coordination.

if I wanted to play solo then definitely I woult look more for single player game rather than "MMO"
maelstrom arena was most annyoing content for me, most *** and most boring if we are going to farm something, grind, grind, grind
for grind I have other games like warframe or runescape from which I have fun at all while something like this in eso was and is the worst experience from MMO games

I am talking about difficult solo content like vMA. Interesting arenas, new mechanics, fun and hard content with appropriate rewards.
Grind is another question. Devs may change final reward mechanic from 'random loot from predefined table' to 'maelstrom weapon parts' (or champion proofs as special currency) or smth like this...

I in overall dont like and dont see much sense of longer solo content in MMO's
I could say why not it this could be fast and doable in maybe 20-30 mins like average more difficult dung without need to master perfectly this arena like we have with maelstrom, in average 1 run will take you 1 hour if not more if you are not perfected with this to do in maybe 40 mins, this is additionl think why I just hate solo conent like maesltor arena in mmo

and still I would prefer if for new arena then atleast for duo or atleast with option to be abgle to do this in duo to not get bored to death on solo while wanting to do it, progres it and having someone else to play with

Why would role players even need the weapon? Wouldn't they just pretend they had it?

If they wanted more solo content, just make a solo'able version of vDSA / vBRP / vAS

SipofMaim

YES

But only if they change the mechanics so there's variety between runs. Not interested in more choreographed fights to memorize.

IndianaJames7

YES

I actually really like maelstrom arena, and would like another similar single person trial.

ccmedaddy

YES

I was really hoping for a dragon themed solo arena this year

Darkenarlol

YES

sure

or even maybe (dreams, i know) duo arena

AndyMac

YES

Yes please - vMA is great content - despite the bugs and lag - and it's (still) legit end game you don't need a group for - which is one of it's strongest advantages imo.

Ysbriel

YES

I hate the Maelstrom arena, i hate the Maelstrom arena so so much that in fact i love doing the Maelstrom arena. That’s the kind of content i hate to love because it’s awfully great. Thats me in every stage of vMA and walk away with my hard earned Maelstrom weapons.

As an Oceanic player, I wouldn't even bother.

I am east coast aus, maelstrom is still doable admittedly sometimes you die to a mob or aoe that is no where near you and you often hit buttons and nothing happens but doable

So saying maelstrom went straight fro stressfull to tedious with almost nothing in between. And by the time i got the last thing i wanted i was just relieved to be done and will only go back in for build testing if ever again.

I don't want anything that bad. I'll use other things for my build.

TBH, the wild buff/nerf swings have pushed me to using overland sets and crafted - too much hassle to farm others, only to have them get screwed in a months time. Probably the opposite of what zos intend.

Solo content is nice at the beggining but it's getting boring too quick. I would rather preffer some new 4 man arena. I like that type of content. Since You are doing it with others it's not getting boring fast and it doesnt require so much organisation like 12 man trials where You need to find and coordinate 11 more people and put some schedule and signups. Best of two worlds for me.

This time though I would like slightly improved rules for drop and difficulty with each round having HM option. And there would be perfected and non perfected weapons and armor sets. You could get perfected armor by doing rounds on HM , perfected golden jewelery by doing last boss on HM and perfected weapons by doing all rounds on HM.

Emma_Overload

NO

3 years ago I would have voted yes, but now it's clear that ZOS isn't interested in designing fun content. All they would do is give us VMA 2.0.

Hapexamendios

NO

I’ve had more fun with Dragonstar and Blackrose than I ever did with Maelstrom.

I agree - I'm East Coast Aus as well and my ping in there is getting close to 400 - but vMA is still entirely doable even with that.

It may not be worth it for the weapons - which are just nice to have - but it still can be done tho.

That said, I would love the opportunity to run it on US ping - I'd love to see how much difference that makes.

ccfeeling

YES

Maybe new weapon set which buff something else ?

Such as armor type or world skill , guild skill , passives , etc

ZOS , would you consider ?

ayu_fever

NO

only arena content i want is maelstrom and dragonstar weapon rewards get reworked to where the current weapons drop on normal and a fancy version drops on vet. just like they do in blackrose and asylum.

otherwise, we casuals will demand more nerfs to vet content.

leepalmer95

YES

MSA was one of the best skillful PVE content when it first came out. Decently challenging with good rewards.

Of course like everything zos eventually nerfed it several times so people who where crying could do it and get the rewards.

While they were announcing Elsweyr I remember Matt Firor said something like "You're not dragonborn, so you need others help to kill dragons."
I don't think dragon themed solo arena is possible.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

RebornV3x

NO

I would like a duo arena but I absolutely hate Malestrom Arena it sucks that they put some of the best weapons behind that and some of the worst rng

Starlock

Don't care either way. Probably wouldn't bother with it.

And no, it isn't about the difficulty contrary to some of the stupid comments about roleplayers in this thread. I've done Maelstrom Arena. I found it to be the most dull and uninspired piece of storytelling in the game. Another arena would be another dull and uninspired piece of storytelling. If I wanted to play a combat focused game, I wouldn't be playing ESO for that. I'll go play some Borderlands or something.

Darkheart

NO

A duo arena

Lasinagol

YES

I think a duo arena is something a lot of players can get into...I know that my brother and I have duo'd every vet dungeon base game and even some dlc... it would be hella awesome and more fun to be challenged like in vMA but have someone at my side being equally challenged.
