VR levels are fine. This isn't World of Instant Gratificationquest.
It's fine if you are an idiot and think broken = awesome.
Here's what I run into numerous times every single day while questing at VR levels.
1. Bosses/Mobs that can only EVER be beaten if they actually use special abilities rather than just auto attack. Nothing better than a fight where you have a 0% chance to win if the opponent just auto attacks.
2. Bosses with unlimited uninterrupted healing ability. Sure, you can bash interrupt, you can try and acid arrow, none of that matters, because you can't do it forever and even a fraction of a second and they are healed back up to full. I've had bosses heal to full while being stunned and vampire drained, heal to full with stunned from concealment. A wave of the hand means unbeateable. They only way for me to win is to have the boss bug out and not heal.
I've had bosses do nothing but heal, autoattack, heal autoattack, and there is no strategy, outside completely changing your class or resetting skills that will let you beat this boss.
No, that is not fine, nor is wanting a game where they only way to beat certain bosses is for them to bug out a call for instant gratification.
L2P. They are called veteran levels because they are supposed to be hard. Watch some videos, ask for some tips. Most people aren't having difficulty with it. And I promise you no bosses are "unbeatable".
I'm a f*cking templar and I was able to solo through all the VR levels. You aren't playing correctly.
You l2p'ers just don't get it. The bosses are NOT the damn problem. It's not because it's IMPOSSIBLE. It's the damn overland trash mobs that are tedious, unrewarding, and it AIN'T any damn fun.
And it's not just that VR serves not other purpose besides leveling, the content is not fresh, and the whole damn sequence is so illogical that immersion is impossible, unable to enjoy the content.
Of course some people like whips, chains, and self-flagellation, more power to you, have fun.
It's not much better than going to Craglorn and grinding it out.
EDIT: and your damn opinion is in the extreme minority.
We don't get it because we have figured out how to play the game and you are still struggling? No, we get it. You don't like a challenge, you don't like to work for your rewards. You want an easy game with instant gratification. As I said before, WoW is still out there, have fun with it.
Not sure how you can call all the players at VR12 the minority. I guess you are upset at Zen for constantly releasing new content for the "minority" too.
You really, really, need to work on reading comprehension.
I am a VR8 MELEE NIGHTBLADE with a 2-handed sword wearing medium armor. I didn't get here by taking the staff and skirt like you probably did in super easy mode.
I know how to play the game, and the VR levels still suck.
Let me fix something for you:
You I want an easy balanced game with instant meaningful gratification.
This is the end of my discussion with you, maybe you l2p'ers can enjoy the empty game when it goes f2p when all the casual players leave.
God, I just knew that I would end hating most MMO'ers when I started this game."Give a man a sweet roll, he only has one to steal. Give him a sweet roll recipe, he have bunches to steal."

✭my favorite part of this thread is that one guy who doesn't think VR 12 is the minority out of the ESO population.2 -
Ragekniv✭✭✭So, my question is, when and how ZOS is gonna fix this? I know it has been said that they know about the problem and are looking on it, etc, etc…but it seems they are just creating more content (the next patch will be about another major content) and leaving the vr design broken.
So it would be good for us, customers, to know what are they gonna do with VR and when. Mainly because we are paying a sub and there’s almost no information, just some lost words in the middle of a topic with 50 pages.
Zenimax has pocketed the initial game units revenue and three months subscription revenue. They've likely satisfied their investor return and are now simply milking the proverbial teat.
This isn't new in MMOs, it's been the bane of player base satisfaction and game platform stagnation for longer than ESO was envisioned.
Game stability, class balance and progressive end game design are months away if not longer.
Unfortunately, hopeful players are caught in the static loop of reactionary driven patches versus pro-active workable solutions by Zenimax.

Sighlynce✭✭✭Good question but... were is your suggestion??
- No more dolmens, no more daedra. No more mudcrabs, bears or wasps being stronger than Molag Bal.
- Alternate advancement depending on your class/race. Horizontal advancement and not just doing more veteran ranks. New skill lines and improvements to the existing crafting styles.
- Add more solo and pve content in new Tamriel holds based in whole new stories based in TES universe around that timeline.
I mean, the whole thing would be to add a different story once you defeated Molag Bal. It is about making the game as good as it is until level 50. They did it until level 50, and then it seems they went just quick and in an strange way.
THE WHOLE TAMRIEL is there to add more story. It is just that ZOS wanted to go the easy way, to recycle the same things all over again and people playing like stupids until they want to add more content (if ever happens considering the amount of people leaving the game).
Absolutely Agree
! The story has to go somewhere . We should have a thousand years to play with ! At some point the dragons have to show and the dragoborn has to be found 
Zenimax has to know most if not all of us are here because well, WE are The Elder Scrolls. We have thwarted Mythic Dawns plan to open the gates of Oblivion ! We found the Moon-and-Star ring ,destroyed Lorkhan's heart and defeated Dagoth Ur causing The Sixth House to fall .We have fought our way to Skyrim where we (as Dragonborn) defeated Alduin... Surly the story cannot end at V1.... 
Zenimax..this is the beginning of the story, not the end :'( . Time to get to work 
, you have a story to finish and a whole bunch of people wanting to be a part of it . The rest of the story should start at V1, Molag Bal is defeated... Who is our next adversary ?
