We need a solo version of Dungeons and trials

Vanya

I am tired of people rushing or waiting for hours, or simply unable to join any trial because of requirements, I dont want to be a sheep following others or telling me what to do, I need ultimate freedom i want to experience everything give us insanely nerfed version of all so other type of players can enjoy it, how many players will never even experience it

I need to see them

Do an arena: vateshran, maelstrom

Syldras

Totally understandable to me, but there are several threads about this already - another one had been closed for redundancy just a few hours ago.

You can solo dungeons. Trials... Story in trials was wrong decision in my opinion, trial is just wrong content for it. It just like including story line into de_dust.

its not the same. even with 3 other people who are into the story and taking screenshots and looking around, the pace is not the same across all 4 and someone is always waiting, while someone else is feeling rushed.

there are stories in dungeons. there are very interesting stories in dungeons. not all of us can solo them and not all dungeons can be soloed even if you are very VERY good, because of mechanics like having to stand on two pads in opposite sides of the room at the same time.

there are stories where npc conversations start when the first person reaches them, so if you are not 100% synchronizing your movements, all too often, you miss out on parts of the story.

watching it on youtube is NOT the same as personaly experiencing it. it doesn't have to mess with the balance of the game in any way either - if you are worried about loot for whatever reason, it could just drop no loot, or only last boss would drop blue quality loot or any number of other ways you can make it not worth using to farm solo (not like there aren't plenty of places to farm vendor trash solo as it is)

Make almost anything on ESO solo-able

I agree that a solo mode should be available.

BUT - I think it should be branded as a practice mode to allow for newer players to learn the mechanics. I think this could be incredibly helpful and probably lead to a drastic increased interest in doing the dungeons themselves.

No loot drops.

How about a "Tour" style mode?

You get no loot/rewards, and the Enemies are completely unresponsive and not hostile, and can't even be interacted with, but NPCs can be engaged for their dialogue.

And every boss has a lever/switch next to them, that "progresses" the Dungeon/Trial as though you killed the boss.

It's kind of like when the Devs preview a Dungeon/Arena on the preview Streams.

Could also allow for some neat Screenshot/Photo ops with the things found in dungeons!

Would be nice, but never going to happen. Not a big enough of a problem for ZOS to spend time on.

I think you underestimate how popular this would be. I know many in my trial guild would like the option to go in solo and just goof off for a while looking around and exploring.

I think the real problem with the idea is how many instances would need to be created to allow players to solo these places. They would have to create a queue but I expect the wait time would be hours for a few months after introduced and that would irritate players to no end.

This isn't a single player game. It's an MMO. All content should not be catered to everyone's playstyle. The whole game shouldn't be turned into a ghost town because some people refuse to cooperate with others in an MMO.

agreed. i was a solo player for years, and when i wanted to finally start doing dungeons/ trials i researched about what gear/skills would help me achieve this goal. i also made friends who took me to plenty of raids...

but i do think it would be nice to experience the story of the dungeon/ trial while not in a group. i know there’s some interesting lore in them, but i never know what the hell is going on half the time lol.

Not sure how allowing one player to go through a private instance creates a ghost town when 12 doing the same thing doesn't create a ghost town.

By this logic a lot of people want a multiplayer option for the solo arenas lol.

I think encouraging multiple aspects of the game for different types of players is the way to go.

so by this logic you would also like to walk into a Ferrari dealership and ask for a 458 Italia minus the engine so you can experience the thrill of it not moving at all the way as opposed to the way it was supposed to?

Turned into a ghost town is a bit dramatic, also MMO's are notorious for having a large amount of impatient, toxic, and selfish people who are unwilling to help newer players.

If players choose to solo because of bad experiences in parties (I have had my fair share) does this mean they shouldn't be able to experience the whole game?

An MMO just means that there is a mass amount of players playing in the same online environment, it does not mean though, that it would be mandatory to engage in group content. This is a misconception of the term MMO you have.

The game a ghost town?- It is crowded more than ever before - strange kind of ghost town, isn't it?

Though I am not against story mode dungeons there are more urgent matters regarding the game right now and there is way too much spam of 'We need' threads.

No, go find a guild and don’t wait hours long... this is mmorpg not a single player game. And same answer for the people who say but vet players solos the dungeons we have to run after them, no! Go find a guild and friends do however you want to do them. There are more important problems than this....

In that case ESO is notorious for having a large amount of impatient, toxic and selfish people who are unwilling to learn the game and expect others to carry them thru the content.

Not sure what this has to do with people who are soloing or choose to solo because they already know the game well enough to solo most of the content and dont expect to be carried through.

I am an ESO plus subscriber and I will not be cut off like that ,story is one of the core aspects missing dialogue conversations and some events i greater damage than getting uber loot of course that leads also to joining trial and requiremets ,there are so many people that wont even expeirence them too

I do not believe tis really major work to provide story mode or nerfed version of each possible group content. Yes it iimportat there are moreo f those intellectually oriented souls than speed run farmers

Vanya

I m tiredd of joining dungeon and trial is rareer for me and than they force me to go i will not b forced, I will not be asked what to do or rush through it as a mountain ram,no I wil rather leave

Then you have solved your problem.

If you don't like the way a RANDOM group run in a dungeon - Leave.

Why should the other 3 bend to just 1 person ?

Form your own group if you want to dictate how the dungeon is run, don't complain that the game needs changing to accomodate each individuals preference.

You have solved the issue to the problem, yet want the game to change instead of you changing.

Have there been a story in the trials since Craglorn?

redlink1979

If you want to take your time why don't you run the content with people who you know, friends or guild mates that also want to take their time, instead of joining a PUG?

Anything without a one shot pin mechanic at least. Sadly that tooltip you posted is out of date as it heals for 18% of all damage capped at 2,750 health per instance of healing.
