GW2 did it by scaling you DOWN to match the zone.

They actually sort of can if you plan it right. Here's how it would work:MMO's CANNOT work that way, there is no maybe here.

Sorry this isn't Skyrim. Doing this would create large complications and basically result in a single-player game as every zone would be instanced.

it never caused a single problem in guild wars 2.. so if ESO couldnt properly do that then its definately a problem with the gameGW2 did it by scaling you DOWN to match the zone.

it doesnt scale to match the player, it scales to match that particular map and the level of the monsters on it
In GW2, it is neither.it doesnt scale to match the player, it scales to match that particular map and the level of the monsters on it
Depends on how it's implemented. You could very easily set things up so that in most zones it scaled in both directions (potentially with limits, as I talked about above, so that it will scale a maximum of X levels), while still keeping some zones/dungeons that will scale up, but not down. That way you keep the people who want to explore different zones in the order of their choosing happy, while still keeping some content as only for experienced players.

I've hardly ever missed a quest in a zone, but that doesn't mean that I don't ever want to visit those zones again. What I'd really like to see is more replayability of lower level zones. There are various ways to achieve this (daily quests, one-time quests that send you back there, raids, events, etc), but for any of those to work there would have to be some sort of scaling involved. Otherwise you're just facerolling everything and getting no XP or loot, which combines to make it all feel like a waste of time.haileyjschmidtub17_ESO wrote: »Everyone keeps talking about returning to finish things 8)
Why not just do everything when you're in that zone
Haven't missed a quest ever 8)

I more enjoyed Morrowind where the world didn't scale. Some areas felt definitively more dangerous than others, it gave a sense of danger as opposed to a sense that everything is more or less my equal.
