New World Bosses are Easy Mode

Isn't this new content suppose to be for the solo player? If they make the bosses require grouping then they will kill the zone and upset a lot of solo players that have been waiting for this DLC release. The only work around I can see is make the bosses scale to your level and not be zone level. I know this is an MMO but there is a player base that can't stay online 24/7 to level and they generally don't have others to run with. The new grouping tool MAY help this but hard to say. I would hate to see them make another Craglorn out of this content.

World bosses have always been meant to be that way. This has nothing to do with Craglorn.

I'm currently testing Orsinium with a template character level 35 without adding any of the Champion point (like I was a new player), and in those condition what is very easy for my template Vet14 with 300 CP, is quite challenging for that lvl 35 character. I went to a delve I cleared extremly easily with my Vet14, and I could not kill the end boss with my lvl 35. Tried three time before to give up.

We need to keep in mind than Orsinium is content that need to fit every players, including the players that just started the game, have little knowledge of the build and weapon to use, and have no CP. So I believe that the difficulty is okay for now. If it need to be increased, it should not be too much or lowbies character without CP will not be capable to play alone and will be forced to group up.

Regarding the World Bosses however... I think it should be designed for small groups of players. I don't mind that they are not soloable.

With vr14 template as NB mage, the normal mobs are easy. But world bosses are not soloable. Tried four and got always killed rather soon. Nothing wrong with that, but for vr14 template definitely not easymode. Could it be difference between templates and NA copied characters?

I have yet to to get any of the ones I found bellow 60-75% solo.It will take me some more tries and gearing to get them down but probably can be done..I don't have the best gear though. Magicka NB still in MK with ~300Cp.

I think they should be soloable and their difficulty is pretty great for a solo fight at this point. I would not want them buffed to a level requiring groups. I wouldn't even bother with them if they buff them to the point of requiring a full group.

The only problem I have with them is that they will probably be zerged constantly when the DLC launches so the opportunity to have an awesome solo fight will be pretty rare. Have fun with them on the pts for now.

I agree the bosses here are way too easy. I was able to solo both of those on my sorc without any trouble. It sounds like people in this thread just have builds not designed for this type of thing.

Why would they be "zerged constantly"?.........It's not like they give out anything useful?, and you won't even get much in the way of exp points after you have done it once?

I agree with everything else you said.....except geared towards two players would be about right. (a very good solo player could still solo......I could try to solo!........and then call for help if needed (it's very easy to get one player to help you).

I was able to tie off Old Snagara last night, meaning I have now soloed every world boss in orsinium. Now stick with me:

@DisgracefulMind , I was in complete agreement with you before one of guildmates told me something. "Just because you can do it, it doesn't mean it's easy."

So I thought about it. If I have to time my heals, concentrate on certain mobs, use LoS to my advantage, have a good build, and quickly understand and adapt to the mechanics of the fight and still I consider it to be easy; what exactly constitutes it as being hard? One hit kills, dps race insta heal, AOE saturation? Meh, that's just punishment.

That being said, I would love the option to make it harder.

Greetings!

Due to this thread originally being created in October 2015, we have went ahead and closed this down. In many cases, it's better to create a new thread on a topic that you want to discuss as opposed to bumping one that is rather old.

Thank you for your understanding
