Here's why (excuse my french, at least for the moment)

My first point and the one I feel the strongest about

Trials don't scale...

Ok I understand you are working on a new Arena and a new Trial with the Orsinium update that's great I hope it is even more challenging than Sanctum before it was narfed. Back to the present I did Sanctum with a pretty well stacked group the other day and it was unbelievably easy... Adding to my point that this content is a joke. This game is catered not to casuals but to [snip] that don't think about their characters and are completely unable to understand how this game works. So now that sanctum is a cake walk for the people that were already doing it and now that it's been back barred to carebear mode furthering the ease people will have in this new game mode... until and if... a biiiiig humongous if... they ever decide to scale the content

New Dungeon Content has been Narfed into the grave

You narfed the new dungeon two [snip] weeks after releasing them... are you kidding me? Did you even think for a second that maybe the reason these dungeons were so "hard" for people was because they were flying into the new content half-cocked halfway geared and then came to the forums to cry about how hard they are getting their *** pushed in because they didn't come prepared and/or they didn't strategize and come up with tactful ways to do the new content

But wait there's more...

Now people are one shotting bosses because of a bug you have chosen not to hotfix LOL... and I pray that you know about this sorc clannfear tank i've been hearing about (for the group wiper known as Planar Inhibitor)

pl0x pl0x rngeezus pray they know... pray

I'll just put this here for all the nubs that cant get past him

We've actually done better since this was edited (killed him in blue phase)

Moving on!

Something I actually like

I like that I can take a PvE raid and xerg Sewers

thats cool the spawned bosses with set locations are a little squish and by a little I mean alot which is [snip], however it would give some trouble to a 4 man (maybe introduce a group cap in sewers?)

Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler FIller Filler Filler

Molag Bal and the Wandering Bannerman

I like these guys they are moderately difficult even for 12 man raid

Yeah cool whatever not really a hardcore PvPer

Oh! and another thing I noticed, and kinda smallish thing but big at the same time, i've noticed you have done away with the max magicka max magicka weapon crit BS you have been pulling for a very long time so KUDOS on that

A last minute point as to why it seems people are exploiting so hard

Other than the fact they can't effectively do the content the grind for the people that struggle through the dungeons is INSANE a full (actual) clear can take up to 2 or more hours for some less experienced groups which is nothing bad but when it takes some people upwards of 3 or 4 runs to get one drop that is a little ridiculous

I really really like the system GW2 has in place where you do the dungeons and you get tokens (dungeon specific) you can spend on dungeon specific gear sets

A simple thing you could do is this, let's use Spindle as the example... Each dungeon has a unique currency for spindle it would be gargoyle heads that you can spend on a Hat at an undaunted vendor I also like the idea of "Undaunted Marks" that would be awarded from all dungeons and could be used on various assortment of potential items

But uhh yeah really fix your game [snip]

Thanks for reading the post.

Do devs actually read these types of threads? You know the ones, the ones that DEMAND attention. I know i wouldn't and i suspect most devs don't. That aside, if you feel another game does it so much better and prefer it to this game, why are you wasting time on this game and not playing the other?

I stopped reading about this point. Really?

Why would anyone take this post seriously?

You beat me to it.

I think there's a point or two in there, somewhere.
Doubt the Devs (the people I assume you are trying to reach) will take the time to try and filter it out.

Always a plus to start out cursing in the title and continue to do it. I'm sure that will impress the Devs, too.
Maybe someday, someone will explain to me how foul language makes your argument better or more valid.

Im aware of this, seems more like resource managment to me though which I can understand.

Its not resource management. They made all the dungeons scale. Its a conflict of interest and what happens when a game goes P2W.

There are a lot of really nice jewelry sets and gear to be had in trials. Gear that might be better than the "mandatory" Endurance/Willpower/Agility rings ZOS is forcing down our throats.

Just take this as a lesson, any endgame content that you enjoy could be taken away from you to force you to play the new "endgame" content so you have to buy the DLCs.

They are using gear and forced level caps to make you pay for DLC

Xendyn · September 2015

Thank you for cleaning that up.

Now, can you link where it's been confirmed that a new Arena and Trial is coming with Orsinium?
Last I heard Rich said "we are working on a new Trial, I didn't say when it was coming"

Haven't heard anything about an Arena, although it would certainly be appropriate in an Orc zone.

You make some good points in your post. I hope ZOS looks at the criticism productively. You seem like an experienced MMO player.

Keepercraft · September 2015

Yes, all dungeons loot and mobs scale, but nooo. Cyrodil have v14 guards/mobs and trials have v14 loot.
Don't make old content and item sets useless.
