Some of us do it to make the game a bit more challenging. Others don't even try, it's just how we choose to play.

My Hard Mode? Playing a MagSorc in PvP without using Streak or a Dmg Shield.

    When leveling a new character I never put in my Cp points there are some points where it can be quite hard without CP and only a few skills, skill points and passives.

    PVPing with terrible gear like a magicka set on medium armor or dueling people with no weapon equipped. Odds are I'll lose but its still fun to try it out! Especially amazing those few times I win..... they aren't common....

    Soloing vet dungeons. Solo builds are really fun because of the tightrope walk you make regarding surviving, sustaining, and doing enough damage to pass dps checks.

    Soloing Vet dungeons with the easier hard modes. Haven't tried it in a while though
    Add a Scribing skill that works like Arcanist beam.
    ---
    Veteran players have been alienated and disengaged from Overland since One Tamriel, due to the lack of difficulty, and pushed into dungeons and trials; the minority of content in the Elder Scrolls Online. We can't take the repetition anymore, fix Overland engagement for Vet players. I don't even care if it's not combat related anymore, just make Overland engaging again.
    ---
    Overland difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 10 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including One Tamriel, an 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. I'm bored of dungeons, I'm bored of trials; make a personal difficulty slider for overland. Make a self debuff mythic. Literally anything at this point.

    Working towards the hardest achievements in game. Just finding a good team is a struggle >:v

    Started playing lots of different classes with 2 other friends in open world cyro with the current performance.

    Then there are days I just want to go on autopilot and I am happy eso is, as eso is :)

    *If you want ultra hardmode - mix moonsugar and nightshade for a sip or two.... :p

    My home is shared with seven cats and a nine-year-old. My life is always played in hard mode and when the free time finally kicks in, it would be naive to assume it would stop.

    And that’s when the Elder Scrolls online are actually online . . .

    my hard mode for content i have successfully completed:
    vet depths of malatar.
    only been able to clear malatar on vet once (not on hard mode) and it took 5 hours.
    i am never going back in there again. EVER!

    my hard mode for content i have failed to complete every single time:
    vet scalecaller peak.
    my “2 hour patience window” usually expires at the ogre fight.
    the ogre twins are about my limit of difficulty, but i never can get through the gargoyle boss as i have only made it to him once because it takes a couple of hours to get to him and i just get frustrated and bail.

    Soloing world bosses with almost no skill points in passives. Did this on every character, due to the particular way in which I level them, and the fact that I fill the crafting passives first (55), then leave just enough to fill 2 skill bars with morphed skills (20-24) and what's left to about 80 in the first few racial passive points. Then I start doing the zones for skill points, and for good measure I also fully clear them, including world bosses. EP ones have the hardest time since they encounter Aurig Mireh in the first zone (Stonefalls), and Bittergreen the Wild in the 2nd (Deshaan). The former I've only actually soloed once, because in other cases there were already players there waiting, and they helped somewhat, by attracting some of the adds, but the latter I've done solo 3 times.

    My keyboard is dead, so w and 2 is not usable, asd also are clunky, and *** tons of time light tap on asd does a roll dodge, and sometimes it doesn't roll dodge on double tap. Thanks to this my most reliable movement is autorun, doing trials like this is weird but challenging, at least we are done with vMoL so i don't need to run anymore.

    Does it count as hard mode?
