Questing could be harder, the only time I was slightly challenged so far was a guild quest that scaled to my chars level. Most quests I receive are already green, a few just yellow.

It would be fun to receive quests that might be too hard yet and require a coming back at some other time. This is btw. something I did love about Vanilla WOW, several zones had Elite Quests which were really challenging and offered special rewards.

I agree, use the openess of the world to separate the easy from the normal from the hard content. if some content is too hard for players they can come back or group up.

Nothing like poisoning your own poll with biased phrasing.

I vote for making polls more difficult to create.

Indeed.

@Willyoke, a hint for you, when you pose the possible responses with a transparently slanted meaning which show your own prejudice or agenda and are worded in such a way to discourage someone responding one way or the other, the results are entirely null and void.

as a new player that playing for couple of months and just reached 40
i use what gear i can find from drops/rewards, and my crafting is lower than my level.

the leveling/questing is easy, the mobs could get a 10% increase in all stats ( hp, defense, damage , etc) and the leveling will still be soloable.
adding another mob to each mob group will make it more challenging.

the skull mobs are challenging to hard, some i can take by myself, using all ultimates, pots and food. some are hard to kill solo, but if another player joins, it is easy. (there are some bosses that i kept dying on them alone, but when second player joined it became trivial)

the solo dungeons are very very easy, and their bosses are joke.

the public group dungeons are challenging because mobs come in packs of 5-6 (instead of 2-3 in open world),
i like them, sometimes i cant kill the final boss solo. if i out-level the public group dungeon by couple of levels, i breeze through it .

at the beginning when i didn't know anything about the game i was dying much more, if i can name a single thing that reduced my death count is silver shards skill.
back in 1.5 when the mobs didn't have DR on the knock-back it was the most OP skill ever.

Yes it does. But then they make it more difficult and everyone will just complain and it will be nerfed back down so everyone can have their hand held through all their content.

To be honest the dungeons etc are ok, but your average mob is just pathetically easy and it makes the combat mind numbingly boring.

Enemies do seem a fair bit easier after I returned, I was around after the public release for a couple months, but stopped for several after finishing all of the quests aside from the Cadwell gold ones and Cyrodiil's, but came back now on a new character just recently.

I'm not so sure how I feel about it though, on one hand, I did die a lot, constantly while doing quests the first time through, and I think the XP system for quests at the time meant I was always a few levels behind what quests I'd be doing despite the fact I did all quests in the regions - but never anything other than quests to level up. That made it a bit challenging, to be sure, and that was fun to me - but in some cases it went a bit too far and became a bit of a frustration, particularly in the Cadwell silver area, where if I were up against more than 2 enemies at one time, and I didn't have my ultimate ready, I'd be better off dying, running past the enemies whilst waiting to respawn, and get around via that, than actually trying to fight a losing battle. Any bosses I came into I'd have to cheap my way through by petrifying, uppercutting, and repeating, or rely solely on my ultimate through the battle.

To be fair, who knows if that was too difficult or even too easy, I'm just one person and I could very well easily just be terrible at combat, I'm not a boss hunter or PVP'r after all.

This time around, perhaps due to the ESO plus XP bonus, I seem to be either right at the level of quests I'm doing, or a couple levels ahead. Then again it may be because this time I'm going through the Aldmeri Dominion alliance at first instead of the Daggerfall Covenant. I'm also not dying nearly as much as I did the first time through but I'm only level 19 so far and just moving into Grahtwood so I don't think I can really say whether this will apply to later areas, and even the Cadwell silver and gold areas again.

I'm also a different class, too, I was a Dragonknight the first time, now a Sorcerer, so that could be a factor. In any case, from my experience so far it does seem a bit 'too easy', but whether I prefer this over it being 'too hard' last time I'm not sure. Certainly, it's nice to not have to run around through mobs of enemies whilst in the respawning stage just to get by, but then it also lost the accomplishing feeling when overcoming a difficult battle after much effort.

Definitivly yes..


These "World boss" are just kitties. Vet 2 and so far, killed all of them alone, and without any real difficulties. I'm there for the story, but won't be a problem if enemies were more serious.

When you can kill lvl 45+ groups of mobs at lvl 30+ with little effort and not even using your ultimate or without even needing to use your 2nd weapon or skillbar, that is a sign that your game is too easy.
