Caves, ruins, dungeons. All a big joke.

I agree with @jrgray93‌, the Cyrodiil delves are much more fun and involved, typically larger pack sizes and more bosses, however the boss spawn rates in the Cyrodiil delves can be trying at times...

Isn't it lovely how everyone love the mobs, bosses and layouts in Cyrodil?

A little secret: us elder players could enjoy the SAME fun in regular VR zones.

Then the whines from the terribles came, and the huge nerf came next. And now we have trivial, boring, monkey farmable and very forgettable gameplay.
Cyrodil mobs were not downgraded, so the gameplay remains good.

Hahaha yeah, it doesn't bother me so much. I just feel like "LOL" get's abused as a negative thing.

god you had to wait in lines a mile long to get a spot in a group there back in the day. God forbid you wanted in on the frenzy camp...

The overall review might be bad, but the picture in question is still valid. There is a massive amount of copy pasta used. Sure, you might visit most of those areas only once. Until you visit a different one, which is the same as the first. Followed by another, which is the same as the first two. After a while you're just crawling through the same hole with different mobs and different objects thrown around the room.

I swear, somebody keeps going through and giving everything I post a "LOL" vote. Must have upset somebody. Anyway, I can't wait to see all of the delves improved. Should be more interesting to go through on alts.

haha you and me both. They just need to remove those buttons, the same people who are thrilled to have an ignore list (and announce it to -everyone-) are the types to passive aggressively lol posts. They'd be the same types that would find ALL your posts and flag them troll during beta.

Honestly, I don't like to use ignore lists. If I did, I would have put you on one long ago, because I find that more often than not I strongly disagree with you. Here's the thing though: sometimes I don't. Sometimes you post something that I agree with (at least in part), and sometimes you post something that I wouldn't have thought of myself. If I had you on an ignore list I'd miss those posts, and that's why I don't like to use ignore lists. I find it's better to take each post on its own merits, rather than dismiss things based entirely on who it is coming from.

So yeah, no ignore lists for me. Also, if I lol a post which isn't an obvious joke, I'll always write a reply to it as well so that people know what I disagree with. I'm really not in the habit of using lol as an indicator of disagreement, though. I'm much more likely to use it on posts that I actually find funny.

As I've seen in other games that use mega servers, I find ESO is lacking a key feature these others posses that would solve the over population of the delves. It's something I've been commenting about since launch. This feature would be the ability to manually adjust the "channel" you are in. As I understand it, there are multiple instances of the game running on a mega server, I believe these are called "phases by ESO (could be mistaken though honestly). In other games, your channel is optimized between population and performance, however even on a med/low populated channel/phase, you could encounter a quest that many people are currently running and there for mobs are hard to find. you could then in these other games swap to a different channel that has fewer players on it and continue unhindered. In my experience there have been anywhere from 4-7 channels to pick from depending on the area. This is something I fell ESO could strongly benefit from. giving the general world 2-3 phases and public delves 4-6.

I'm also gonna open a new thread for this specifically since this got so long...
Thank you if you read it...

But if TL;DR: Implement manual channel switching

Edit: My post

yea, even if I disagree with people ALL the time, it really seems like ignore should be saved for harassment, and the mods are pretty good about doing their job, so that doesn't really happen.

Vahrokh, well put.

Additionally now those who wanted that comfy soloable content Nerf are fussing about the unique difficulties they are facing as they knock on this MMO's endgame content doors.

Instead of engaging ZOS repeatedly about increasing group bonus e x p, or group loots/rewards, or to work on the phasing of quest annoyance or the group finder...they asked for V+ 1-10 Nerfage. They got it. Along with some consequences. Thats what comes with any choice or decision, really.

You know -- the direct result of not having regular grouping and earning and learning their way through Vet+ 1-10 content thereby arriving at endgame fairly well-prepped and good-to-go for PvE endgame. Alas, now they want ever more solo-centric content beyond V-12. Its just not fair, they say.

Heh, there is plenty of single/soloable content in this MMO right now. Its good to have some solo choices. That statement does not lead to ipso facto all future content should be made in dual phases where group content is in a zone and there is some magical switch that makes solo content available for the same zone. Maybe someday in the future of MMO's. For now, lets not delete and dilute either.
