Updating Trials and Undaunted for VET 15-16

Daishin15 · August 2015

In order to diversify the gear that we players wear I feel it would be best to scale the trials up to Vet 15-16
maybe for only hard modes in order to make it challenging. What are your thoughts as a player? I really dont want to see or hear about everyone wearing the same gear. I think this would be for the best in order to stay unique. Thank you for at least reading this post

Was discussed here multiple times. We would all love to have scaled Trials and DSA but ZOS has no intention to do it.

But to your point, it wouldnt help to diversify players. We're always wearing "the best" gear, no matter if its trial loot, PvP reward or undaunted reward.

Best gear is determined by what you want to do with your character.

Im wondering if they will scale mage, fighters and main story quests up to VR16 with VR16 rewards...

Still, there is a best gear for every class/role. Sanctum Gear for Light and Heavy was never the best option, and the Medium Set's only propose is grinding. Those sets dont add anything to the current PvE or PvP Meta.

Agreed, new players/returning players who never did DSA for example will most likely never do it since the gear would be more or less obsolete due to its level.

We're back to where we were when Valkyn Skoria set was the meta, most people will now farm the new undaunted set Molag Kena when IC releases.

They already said they will not scale up Trials or VDSA.

By the looks of it they are also not going to allow trash mobs in scaled dungeons to drop v15/16 loot. Only the bosses and mini bosses, thus forcing players to buy IC and do those dungeons or wait until the New Year for Orsinium.

On the PTS portion of the forum, someone did do the Main, Fighter's and Mage's Guild quests and they did scale to V16 and gave that scaled loot at the end. It is unknown if that will make it into the game or not.

So incentive for doing trials and vdsa is?...

You will have to do VDSA, Resto Master's Staff and the Master's Bow will still be really important to some setups.

Plus Master's Sword for crazy PvP action (and yeah, nice in PvE as well now that you can use taunt as much as you want to)

Very little due to the items not scaling to new lvls. This is another reason why I said new scaling would help diversify the builds we use. I cant wear some of my favorite sets because the items are too low. And the new craft able sets in IC are nice but none seen like something that a sorc like me would even use. I'd be surprised if someone other than a tank asked me to craft those sets.

Another kindly written well worded post. Back to back awesome. This is the second post I've read that would make someone think ESO players are cool

I'd love for it to scale up but the reality is there already aren't that many teams that actually complete HM trials, at least in NA. I could see if the entire 100 board spots were taken with HM scores but currently they're already a challenge for most players.

I agree
hardmode is already challenging. I'm training any vets of appropriate levels and running practice as often as we can. I know only 2 EP NA XBOX One that has completed HM AA the scores are pitiful
So my group will be the 3rd. Thing is I don't want the trials or DSA to become something we just stop doing because its not worth it. It would be different if all the gear worth something wasn't bound. Then we would have enough reason to do it.
