This is my first MMO and I have no problem in vet zones. You should review your build, or abilities or play style

You do not need to be an elite player to solo veteran content, more so now that it has been made much easier. You should ask for some tips for playing your class. All of them have some way to deal with multiple opponents. Sorcerer can use rune prison to take one out of the fight until you deal with other 2, nightblade can do the same with agony, etc.

This is Elder Sorcerers Online.

So get a dress and a stick, and face-roll everything without effort.

What is the joy of being able to play a game .. for me it is clear tasks in the game.
ESO from lvl 0-50 is easy and you get rewards all the way up to building your charter.
From veteran lvl 1blir it a bit difficult to play, but you can play well on the first veteran lvl.
From veteran higher lvl it is almost impossible for a non-elite player like me to play- (2 enemies that's fine .. but 3 and up ..No way)
What happens if you suffer /get kill all the way. yes, begin to speculate if there is a point to continue with the ESO .. I know that the idea behind the veteran level.. is groups .. but finding group is not always easy,, and everyone has a different way of play .. Some like to listen to all of the dialogue ,,others do not listen to all the dialogue..
I like the game very well but have been unsure whether there is any point to continue ..

Just play on god mode, i.e. play a DK!

Since the recent nerf to VR mobs, a significant and consistent majority of posters have indicated that the VR content is solo-able, even too easy for some of them.

Something (or maybe several things) is wrong in either your skill selection, your passives selection, or the way you play your skills.

Check out the Tamriel Foundry forums to help with your skill selection, maybe check a few videos on youtube to see how other people manage it.

My main is a NB Vampire.. I had a HUGE learning curve when going into Vet content and had to completely change my play style in order to survive Vet content on my own as I am a predominant solo player before it was nerfed.

You actually have to pick and choose which enemy you go after first and work it so you take them down quick then concentrate on the other two. For me, I always took out the healers or the pyromages first since they gave me the worst grief in the game. I avoided gargoyles and storm atronachs as best as possible.

Since you are also dealing with so many mobs, you need to set an AOE skill into your bar to help stun some enemies when you happen upon them. Fire Rune worked great for me.

Having a skill that heals your character in the middle of battle is essential. Potions just won't cut it. The cooldown for them is too long (I wish there wasn't one at all).

I also found you have to learn to specialize in your skills. In the end, I only used two NB skills which included an Ultimate. 2 Vampire Skills, and 1 fighters and 1 mages guild skill. I used a destruction staff and heavy armour. Almost a complete antithesis of what a NB should be.

If you can, make new armour and weapons for every vet level and ensure you have good enchants on them. Also ensure they are at least Fine if not superior in quality. If you can't do that with the armour, at least make new weapons. You will however need to make new armour every two levels. Especially for levels 3,6, & 9 when the difficulty jumps a notch.

While I like group content. Unfortunately, I feel it actually teaches really bad game play because everyone is spamming their skills to get hits instead of using strategy to take out a monster. In levels 1-50, this is also an issue since there are so many other players running around doing the same quests and bosses as you, even if you are playing as a solo player.

In group/public dungeons also, when you are grouped up, you get players that want to race through the place and others that want to take their time to do the quests and read what the npc's are saying so you end up being left behind and cut off from your group or having to rush through things and not playing consciously. You end up just spam killing everything to get items and the achievements and it kinda sucks at times.

So Vet Levels is where you REALLY begin to learn how to play your character properly. It can be extremely frustrating until you find your groove, then it gets rather fun.

After playing through all Vet, I am now playing my Alt and I hate the lower levels and the number of people there because it becomes a spam fest when you go against a boss and there is another player there and you want to ensure you get the reward. It sucks.

I have just for the fun of it, done some of the vr10 zone quests naked, thats how hard they nerfed vr zones

Im not complaining though, im getting my hard game play from dungeons/trails, for me solo pve'ing is just fun and killing stuff. Well still hoping the bosses were hard though, they to easy now....

Yes I support creating a special version of ESO.

For what it is worth I am in no way an experienced video game player at all, however, I have been able to solo the entire game, baring group dungeons, dolmens and world bosses (which generally require groups). I am playing as a DK and have taken the time to get every weapon to lvl 50, because the game became too easy using the cc the entire time, as well as using all of the bonuses related to fire based attacks from the class.

That being said, I wish there was a group finding tool for general play, not just dungeons. I always found that group play was far more amusing, causing me to continue to play the game, I have completed all of the group dungeons, but I always join in when I see a group looking for members as it is quite fun. If you are having trouble, it could be your build, i found several combinations personally that looked like fun, but were ultimately ineffective, causing multiple re-specs. If you are really having trouble, look on google, there are countless terrific builds for each class, some of which have inspired me to create new characters just for the sake of playing these builds.

I completed both silver and gold (2nd and 3rd) factions before they nerfed it so bad hellen Keller could do it playing as the weakest class in the game (templar) are you joking? Vet content is a joke now.... I solo. World bosses and Dolemens....some players may not be "elite" players but damn man... just spend an. Hr doing some theory crafting and research on yourclass and build
and you can beat any situation


If they make it any easier there will be literally no challenge to the game.

Maybe this MMO isn't for you.

I'm not an elite player. I'm probably a pretty ordinary player in PvE, and kinda lousy in PvP.
I thought the difficulty of veteran content was just right before the nerf (and actually, I don't see a huge difference now). Only anchors and bosses seem to require a group, and they should. Yes, you have to give some thought to your abilities and your strategy for fighting groups, but that's part of the fun.

Maybe if you posted your build you could get some specific help.

Agree! After levelling my melee DK to vet 1 and dying plenty along the way, I finally rolled a dress and stick sorc to see what alll the fuss was about. I can play using only one hand now. I even walked away to feed the dog and came back to find my clannfear taking care of business for me. I totally get it now.

I feel more of a sense of challenge when I die once in a while though.

I don't understand the face you made at the end. what does that mean?

You can get halfway through Vet 11 (if not further) by just doing every quest and ever dungeon, including public and group ones. (I know I missed a couple and have to go back to complete them)
Then all you have to do is pick up the easy stuff in Craglorn, which some players have actually stated can be solo'd easier than Vet content.

I solo'd 95% of Caldwell's Silver and Gold. Only grouped with other players to take out WBs, Dolmens, and the Public and Group dungeons (and two quests where the bosses were stupid hard in The Rift). Everything else I did on my own.
