The dungeons on TESO have therefore become fast food... what if, a solo dungeon?

Craglorn doesn't require a group.

Some quests there can't be done solo.

Which, apart from the trials?

Which quest are you trying to do?.

No idea, I abandoned them a long time ago (and I don't play with English UI). I just remember there were two.

I'm pretty sure I was about 500-600cp when I did Craglorn. Only thing I couldn't complete solo was Shada's Tear. I only had base game purple craftable gear. Oh and there was one Mantikora that would always one shot me, I think in one of Skyreachs, that i had to ask for help with.

I think it might be better to have a Story Mode where you can pick 3 companions and make your own party.

exact same copy paste dungeon for 10 years straight.. what could go wrong? Eso is its own worst enemy.

How long ago have you tried doing it? I completed all the quests in Craglorn and have never used any help there. Which mechanic was preventing you from doing it by yourself?

Dying? Again, again, and again? But I'm on a base game, so maybe if you use something like Arcanist with that beam, then maybe you could manage it solo.

I just finished the whole Craglorn story questline on my second account, sub 1000cp wearing purple crafted gear. It's definitely soloable

And what is sub 1000 CP exactly? I'm a bit over 400 CP, which technically makes me "sub 1000 CP", but there's a big difference between 400 and let's say 800-900.

Ah okay. I'm guessing you're at the part where you have to fight the mage? Do you have any companions? If so, I recommend putting your companion in tank gear and having it hold the mage. She summons atronachs. Kill those yourself and then return to damaging her.

I'm on PSNA or I'd have helped you but maybe someone in zone chat can help you with it. The Lost One is actually a lot for a newer player and is designed for a group at that level.

Aren't companions only available with DLCs? As I said, I'm on a base game, unfortunately.

If you are on pc/eu, I could hop on and kill your boss.
But generally, it's doable at cp500-ish. You'd likely have to play the mechanics, though (for example, in Shadas tear).

That's not true, though.. While eso has many flaws and makes some questionable balance choices, the dungeons are generally quite interesting and there's a decent amount of variety. You can't really call vaults of madness, shipwights regret and lep seclusa "the same copypasted dungeon" lol.

EDIT: Dungeons in ESO are group content, and are designed for a party of 4 players, regardless of some being able to be cleared solo by skilled players. That is by design, and there are ways to get groups together if you do not have friends to run with you. Player Guilds exist, the Dungeon Queue, the Group Finder, etc.

There is plenty of single-player designed content you can run, a few of which I've mentioned here.

The problem is the only parts of them genuinely designed for multiple players are when they need you to pull levers or have a hard-disable of one player. Neither of which are terribly interesting.

There's no real "split up and do tasks" design.

I was 900-and something CP so admittedly not 400. This account only has base game too so no companions, mythics or Arc beam or whatever. I used a pure Sorc build with Force Pulse as my spammable lol. My biggest complaint is sustain as I have next to no passives, and how much lower DPS I have than my meta builds do on my main account, but this just means I need to pay more attention to mechanics which is refreshing in a way.

From the moment we are in an MMORPG, we don’t even have time to do something, yet it doesn’t take long, like "opening a safe" there is certainly one thing to do!

I grant the fact that doing X number of times an instance is not fun, but frankly when you look for a specific equipment, opening a chest is nevertheless necessary and sometimes even beneficial in its conditions.

If people don’t have time to play in an MMORPG, then why do they come?

I remember the beginnings, people took time to do that and it was really nice that the speed rush of now!

Force Pulse is an expensive spammable. If you are magsorc, make sure to use Lightning Form to increase your resistances, Crystal Frags with Force Pulse, even Lightning Splash as an aoe might help since that boss stays stationary. Power Surge will help increase your damage. I still use Daedric Prey on my PvP character though it’s not as great as it used to be. Don’t ignore the atronach adds either. Their damage can add up. Pets can help by taking aggro and getting the heat off you (volatile familiar) or healing you (twilight matriarch).

I had some trouble with this boss solo back before Companions on my stamblade. I hope this helps.
