Is it time to double the health of overland mobs?

Metafae

It's no secret the overland in this game is far too easy.

Without making it near impossible for new characters, I feel that doubling the health of all overland mobs will be fine as it will just make the game slightly more interesting when questing.

I miss the days back pre-One Tamriel when the Cadwell's Silver and Gold Zones could give you some trouble to navigate, but that won't work with new characters running around. Though, it would be nice to visit these zones as a Veteran Level variant and actually have to fight your way through the quests again.

Why stop there? Make veteran level overland zones.

I made this poll because I think the divide between the casual player base and those that like more challenging content has grown too large.

I know a lot of people who stick to casual play are able to do a lot more than they give themselves credit for, and it would be nice if there was somewhere in the game where people can slowly transition from stupidly easy content to mildly challenging content so as to give them reason to believe in their own skills as a player.

No, it's fine as it is.

Doubling the health of mobs will just mean it'll take me twice as long to get anywhere.

I was thinking about this request (harder overland!) today when I was in a West Weald delve. A couple of players went running past me (separately), dragging mobs behind them because they couldn't be bothered to fight them. I suspect that if the mobs in overland were buffed, some of those asking for it would eventually just run past the mobs, when the novelty of having more challenging mobs wore off. Those of us who actually fight the mobs would be stuck with a more tedious play experience.

(Isn't there a thread about this open already? Making a poll doesn't make it different )

ETA: Sure, I do find the overland mobs easy and could handle stronger mobs. But I don't want to. When I'm in overland, I want to relax and run around and explore. It's not a matter of not having confidence in my skills as a player.

Hey there,

Due to there already being a thread discussing Overland Content Feedback we are going to close this down so that you may continue the discussion that is linked in the previous post. Thank you for your understanding.
