MeowGinger✭✭✭What about the people who already utilize 8 of those 9 points (missing only 1, and where I reduced the total from 10 to 9 -- removing "leveling up and returning" -- because one point does not apply to veteran content)?
Also, you forgot "interrupt." Essential for fighting healers.
And also "use crowd control abilities."
And also "utilize weapon swapping."Edited by MeowGinger on July 4, 2014 4:10AM0 -

✭Good suggestions.
Could have shortened the post down to 'learn to play', but many consider that trolling.Ruze Aulus. Mayor of Dhalmora. Archer, hunter, assassin. Nightblade.
Gral. Mountain Terror. Barbarian, marauder, murderer. Nightblade.
Na'Djin. Knight-Blade. Knight, vanguard, defender. Nightblade.
XBOX NARuze is a veteran of the PC Beta, lived through the year one drought, survived the buy-to-play conversion, and has stepped foot in the hells known as Craglorn. He mained a nightlbade when nightblades weren't good, and has never worn a robe. He converted from PC during the console betas, and hasn't regretted it a moment since.
He'd rank ESO:TU (in it's current state) a 4.8 out of 5, loving the game almost entirely.
This is an multiplayer game. I should be able to log in, join a dungeon, join a battleground, queue for a dolmen or world boss or delve, teleport in, play for 20 minutes, and not worry about getting kicked, failing to join, having perfect voice coms, or being unable to complete content because someone's lagging behind. Group Finder and matchmaking is broken. Take a note from Destiny and build a system that allows from drop-in/drop-out functionality and quick play.3 -
The_Sadist✭✭✭✭✭- Group with individuals as it is an MMO (9 out of 10 dentists recommend).
- You don't want to group up due to your irrational fear of people? Try perfecting your build to handle particularly dire situations!
- Pardon? You want to play the game your own way and still be effective you say? I can only recommend going back to your single player games.
- Which are probably on consoles.
Are we being serious or?

✭✭And as usual the trolls conveniently "forget" the quests you CAN'T group for - and that these are REQUIRED to access the endgame. Which is just stupid design.4 -

Are there many single only quests in VR? I thought most of those were the guild and main story quests, which aren't in VR.[DC/NA]1 -

Please provide a list of side impossible non-groupable quests which are required to access endgame.

Hilgara✭✭✭✭✭Some of the Cadwells silver/gold listed quests appear to be solo only but if you group before you enter the instanced area you can take along a friend.
Some of these quests are hard but they count towards the Tamriel Hero title which is the ultimate achievement as far as solo play goes so they should be hard. That gives the title some worth.
Many also have hidden mechanics that make them much easier. If going toe to toe with a boss doesn't work no matter what you do try googling it. There may be something you are missing about the fight.Edited by Hilgara on July 4, 2014 5:40AM1 -

I said impossible, clearly they are very possible due to the sheer amount of people grinding away in veteran rank zones.

I didn't do any of these quests.. I stopped questing on my AD alt in Auridon and went to mob grinding. lvl 1-v12 in 48 hours.

And clearly based on the number of posts in this forum from People who simply can't Complete these quests despite being way overleveled for them, they ARE in practice impossible With many builds.2 -

People refusing to use different spells and change their setup to be competent in PvE = / = impossible. I can be a restoration staff yielding Nightblade with only healing spells slotted and complain I can't kill anything. Now is it my fault or is it the game's fault that I refuse to acknowledge that perhaps I may be approaching things the wrong way?Edited by The_Sadist on July 4, 2014 6:25AM"Each event is preceded by Prophecy.

If you're struggling with a quest pre veteran content you're going to have a horrible time once you actually start the journey to rank 12 and you'd ultimately want to rectify your build ASAP.
But I digress, the quests are not, in fact, impossible. People just refuse to change their build accordingly.Edited by The_Sadist on July 4, 2014 6:34AM"Each event is preceded by Prophecy. But without the hero, there is no Event." ― Zurin Arctus, the Underking.Tragrim - How do I work this thing?

No, again you are looking at a cherry picked population. You put a comment up saying the content is too difficult you will attract those who think the content is too difficult from the forum audience. The forum is not representative of the greater player base. When you meet someone questing in the vet zones they have already done these quests and they are not all cloth wearing casters. You will see every class in vet so they all managed it.2 -
LariahHunding✭✭✭✭One can defend the difficulty, but VR content still sucks."Give a man a sweet roll, he only has one to steal. Give him a sweet roll recipe, he have bunches to steal."

Not really, the argument was that there are quest that cant be done due to the phasing so said person cant get to end game.. You can get to end game and not do 1 single quest..Edited by dcincali on July 4, 2014 9:38AM0 -

It would take a long time but God of Schemes would be a cakewalk even with that build. Once I'd worked it out it really was a piece of p**s and I suck at this game.0 -

If you ever get to VR 12 you will be forced to do this as Trials demand exactly that. People who currently refuse to play a bit smart, will run into even larger obstacles in future, same with PVP or the solo quest content.
Right now the VR content was challenging and I agree some of the mobs could had seen a tweak, but at no times is VR too hard. It just requires a bit of thinking and that you don't rush into a group of 5 solo like you are used to it from WOW.
ESO was shipped with the promise of offering challenging ES content like the original games, for some reason however this now doesn't seem to be the goal anymore.
They cut their own flesh with that change, many people will be very annoyed by that change and if they don't add new VR 12 content next month which is accessible for small scale groups and solo gamers the subs could be bleeding.0 -
hi,
because it was impossible to quest veteran 4 to12 areas, i skipped all quests and got to kargstein and leveld to veteran 12.
After patch lots of new thing put into for nightblades.
But nothing changed.I died 80 times now in level 5 Area/Arena fight,and the *** main quest, because there are lots of boss waves.This game is designed to let people play like the want and skill like they want, an thats the problem.If you are playing with alls skill points into mana, maybe a nightblade is easy to play, but i play a bow and but all skill in damage.maybe you need legendary runes and equipp, i farm all myselfe and have epic items level 8 to 10.
A saw a sorcerer helped me after 3 weeks searching for help for some endboss waves and he killed all enemies with 2 or 3 hits.I need 8 to 30 hits with bow to kill one. i also tried healing skills, life geneating.But i failed.Also noone will help and to find a group is impossible to help in my instance.
With level 12 and 3 sets level 8 to 10 its not possible to kill these *** bosses in this *** level 5 veteran area. Also my guild members friends cannot help, because the cant jump into my instance.
So build npc helaers into the game or lt people allow to jump to my instance.
I'm pissed off to much, never seen an mmo where guild members or friend cant help others.
i cannot get into the next area, and i also cant get new skyshards i really need them for my crafting skills.So playing teso is sensless.
To play in pvp is really great and my nightblade is strong, but questing alone is impossible.
Also lots of new things after the new patch for nightblades not works.
If this game is not designed, that i can play nightblade as bowclass, than take that *** out the game and only alow to play nightblad with many only, and patch a new class into this game. A Bow class only to make bow class possible to play, and a bard class only, to play songs only to give other awesome buffs and protection.Lot of songs still existing.
And beware me off comments like try to learn your class playing.Find a solution, or help me with posting your skilling, helping for better questing.1
