Would rather have had them increase the xp

It's indferent to me now, because I already canceled my sub. But I feel better knowing that I leveled my char trough a much more dificult game than those who will play the game now.
ZOS is like a father who do everything that his kid asks... you are creating a monster.

I'm pretty much ambivalent about it at this point. Will be parking most of my characters at VR1 anyway.

I don't much see the point of replaying content on the same character either way. I would MUCH rather play the game from the beginning with an all new class and character.

VR content should have been all new content. I would have struggled through the difficulty if I was seeing something I could only see by being a veteran.

I don't mind challenge, I don't mind having to use my head to get past difficult encounters. But to have to do this for what is basically 100 more levels with constant trash mobs just was unacceptable and incredibly tedious, not fun. Personally I would have made the trash mobs in the way easier, but kept the old VR level difficulty for mobs that mattered, were part of the quest, bosses, etc. This way the stress of "strategizing" was constrained to only meaningful encounters, making that stress fun instead of incredibly tedious.

Like Kewljag said above, this change removed the strategy for me. Attacking a group of 3 used to be a big deal, I had to plan my approach, make no mistakes and observe my surroundings so that I didn't aggro any other mobs around the group.

Now, I just run in and slay them on auto pilot like it was in 1-50. I can go back to listening to audiobooks while I play this game, because my brain isn't needed(or stimulated) during the actual PvE combat.

I'm voting yes only because I supported this change, but I am going to wait a few weeks and see how it effects the game before I make a final judgement. I am very happy to see many posts from people that are excited, People that are saying they are eager to get back into the VR zones again.

I'm indifferent. The real issues with it (and game in general) were not addressed.

I would like an "Original Veteran" title for having played through the VR content as designed, before the whiners got it nerfed.

That being said, I personally do not like the changes, but I understand why others may like them.

The problem with the super easy VR levels is that you will end up with VR12s that do not have a mastery of their class, because they were able to level to the cap using a 2 skill rotation, standing in fire, never blocking.

Right now, if you group with VR12s, odds are that they aren't horrible players. They may have grinded anomalies, but for the most part they know how to block, and how to move out of the red circles.

Two weeks from now you will be grouped with VR12s trying to do VR level dungeons and getting wiped left and right because people will be playing like they did 1-50

Oh great master of all uber skills, enlighten me with your wisdom and show me how to smash those skill free players all over the world.

Was this enough sarcasm?

You're not setting the criterion for all other players. You are not the majority.
No titel for you just because you facerolled through the VR.

Most people know what the're doing and what those crazy strange red spots mean. Maybe they will never play so near to perfection like you. But who cares? Nobody. This is a game and a game has to make fun.

Without those normal players the server will die very early.

I have been working on a lower level alt and playing Cyrodiil... I haven't been using my main VR12 much (although I did finish all quests, I still run around the VR zones getting rid of baddies as I collect resources for crafting, etc..). But, is this implying they reduced VR difficulty? If so.... WHY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was fine, in fact I like when they had that double health glitch too!!!!!! It felt accomplishing..... ZOS, don't make this game a pushover. This is a great game, offer a way for people to enable a simpler mode with less xp for themselves.... don't take away more interesting combat for the rest of us!! -.-''''

I'm going to Cyrodiil..... to hunt down those such people, I know who some of you are.... and you will be spawn killed.

Noobs should have their own special setting, that the rest of us don't want. L2P people, LEARN 2 PLAY. I have a character in all 3 alliances, I have every single class, I have multiple of 3 of the 4 classes to try different morphs, I also have 2 werewolves and 2 vampires and 4 regular characters. So... don't tell me this game is tough, it's Learn 2 Play or move on to something else. I thought it was a fair and reasonable "challenge" but in fact I wanted them to increase the difficulty in both non vet and VR zones. #L2P

I love the changes, now I don't have to feel like I am in an intense boss fight every time I pull a trash mob.

Can't wait to see what they add next .

YES.


It feels like I'm fighting no-life bandits as they -are-, no life irrelevant less-important-than-Dreugh-dung bandits! Feels good and rewarding to be a Veteran now. Someone whom is the hero of my faction and the Vestige of blah blah.


Trash is trash. Bosses are bosses, and Elite overworld enemies are still a challenge and a decent fight for pairs and groups! VR dungeons are still VR dungeons that are non-soloable except for Dragonknight tanks in light armor and a staff, and Sorcerers with lolcritsurgeheal + lol55% crit!

Thank you Zenimax, and I look forward to phase two of your planned changes while you ignore the vocal minority crying their brains out non-constructively, and continue to study your in-game telemetry as you continue to balance VR.

Well, tbh I dunno, but difficulty settings need some changes. I didn't play yet to check how much easy the game is now, but many people here, did the Craglorn Speed Fast XP to reach VR12, now r complaining about VR+ and VR++ difficulty adjustment (just because they are playing using their alts).

And checking the pool result for now, we have only 46 (NO) - 113 votes and more than 400 views, many of people that are complaining and flooding some threads are the same 46, and I guess ESO don't have 300 players.

To help to increase the game experiment I guess @Zenimax in FUTURE, not now, should add some "Extra Zones VR+++" and give some challenge, but talking about POS-50 it's fine, since they're many options to have some changeling like Craglorn, CoH and PVP Zone (for now) since they didn't change their difficulty.

Guys I don't wanna flame, and nothing like it, but we need to understand, that they need to be at middle, people are hard core, and others not.

WOW, Diablo, GW2, WildStar, all that have same complains, same people saying (it's too easy) and the game didn't change and have MANY people playing (even people that like to complain about everything).

Cya!
