Is it just me...

robwolf666 · May 2016

Or does anyone else find it oddly satisfying to go back to the beginning when you reach V16, and run around all the dungeons, dolmens and world bosses handing them their asses with ease after struggling with them all way back when?

It's kind of cathartic if you ask me, lol.

emily3989 · May 2016

I don't even look at them when passing through, because when I am on an alt I like to experience at least a few of the solo challenges this game has to offer, so I hate it when someone comes up and wrecks a WB I am having fun fighting.

Warraxx · May 2016

just you dude.

Lenikus · May 2016

As an AD professional khajiit, my main activities in my off-duty time is to go to Lluvamir dolmen near Vulkhel Guard and just watch the newbz frolic there every 15 minutes.

It's fun.

Cryptical · May 2016

I threw down caltrops and just roll dodged around while the boss slowly bled to death, saying "What you swinging at? What you swinging at? You can't hit me! You can't hit nothing! You can't hit nothing!"

Well, it's just annoying when these V's drop in on say an Anchor you're level, and waste the lot of it for you.
So yes, I can see you're point.

Hell, why are they even bothering with lowbie stuff like this?

Like I said, cathartic. And easy resource (alchemy & provisioning) runs...

Lord_Wrath · May 2016

Its fun when i run to a mundus stone or something but i obviously know im stronger. I don't go out of my way, but i find it more fun to heal the newberts as they try.

Didn´t read but most probably no it isn´t just you.

It's still annoying, from what I understand, you're being rewarded on damage dealt to these events.
I did a few with people my range in level, and the rewards were crappy as always, but still better than when some mega-uber-high-level came to meddle with it.
Could be odd RNG, but I've seen the same on world bosses as well.
Again, could be odd RNG.
It's just weird.
Twice I had a situation where I could not even land a hit... due to them high rollers, and ended up with no reward at all.

susmitds · May 2016

Nope man. I like doing it too.

Tholian1 · May 2016

It isn't fun for the lower level players trying to enjoy their level appropriate content when a v16 shows up at a dolmen or a public dungeon and kills everything with one shot. I think Vet ranked players should only be allowed to return to a vet level version of dolmens and public dungeons so they can't ruin the experience for lower level players.

dtm_samuraib16_ESO · May 2016

Indeed.
But hey, why bother with us lowbies.
Vets have everything to say, they've been here longer.

Glaiceana · May 2016

Yeah I like to do that some times too

Its great remembering the first time you found that place, and how much you struggled, and then going back knowing what you do know, not just your increased power etc, its gratifying

pod88kk · May 2016

Just created another character and it's a lot of fun doing the missions choosing different options when the dialogue goes red and most importantly not upgrading gear because I don't need to with the champion points

Achievements.. My main 'achiever' v16 still does not have all dolmen bosses

I'm also missing ice atros, and dolmens spawn them quite often.

robwolf666 · May 2016

For the record, I try and do the dolmens, bosses etc when no one else is around, precisely NOT to interfere with lower levels and spoil their fun... That said, I've lost count of how many times low level people have jumped in when I've already started a fight... Can't have it both ways, it's a bit, what's the word.... hypocritical.

Abeille · May 2016

I avoid doing this unless I am after a particular achievement, and even so, I stop and go away if I see low levels around or at least I explain why I am there, equip a restoration staff and heal them instead of killing things. I don't want to disrupt people's gameplay.

I am one of these people that wish we had level downscalling so that low level areas would still be relevant to my higher level characters.

Now THAT is a good excuse.
I cannot NOT agree on that...

I do those in the "off times" (at night for EU), just to not disturb the masses, myself.

FLuFFyxMuFFiN · May 2016

I recently spent a good 3 days going back and getting every skyshard, delve, and dolmen in the game. only missing 3 shards locked behind enemy alliance gates now. Next on my list is master angler

j3crow · May 2016

I enjoy it too. I like the intial levleing experience to be the way it currently is. But, I also like feeling powerful as an endgame character, after accomplishing the story content. I SHOULD be a force to be reckoned with

Lightninvash · May 2016

I sometimes do this just cus. Though if I see a low doing the activity I am near I will just heal them or something if they seem to need it.

But at the cost of LOWBIES?
That's almost griefing.

Loralai_907 · May 2016

I haven't gone back that far. But I have gone back and completed dolmens and world bosses that I missed. But I never go in and do a dolmen or anything if level appropriate players are there trying to get it done. I find it to be rude to wreck the experience for them. At most, if I am on one of my characters that can heal, I might stand back and throw some heals around.

I do sometimes revisit the lower levels for fun, but only if I see that I'm alone. If there are other players there I leave them to enjoy the experience. It's common courtesy.

AnnieBeGood · May 2016

I like to do it sometimes too, specially those that gave you so much trouble when you were a baby.

You bought all of the game.... you play all of the game.

I also did not realise that I would suddenly want to get those last few bits for an achievement.
So satisfying to get Daedric Lord Slayer, Enemy of Coldharbour.

MasterSpatula · May 2016

It's a mood thing. In the right mood, it can be a lot of fun to blast through stuff that was hair-pulling-frustrating not that long ago.

In the wrong mood, though, it's kind of dull.

clayandaudrey_ESO · May 2016

So to some people it is play how you want unless it upsets me. Got it.

I go back occasionally to try to finish some achievements. If I see level appropriate people around I just watch and if they wipe 3 or 4 times then I jump in.

Hallothiel · May 2016

Nah not just you. It's immensely satisfying to go back and easily deal with something thst made you almost cry the first time. And sometimes you're not necessarily as fabulous as you thought & you find you have to think fast.

But do agree about seeing lower levels around makes me back off & only go in if they look like they are in trouble.

Also find it amusing when deliberately chose an isolated dolmen in an area where I havent seen another soul for hours so I can try my skills only to be suddenly joined by others I can only assume were lurking behind rocks waiting for someone to be cocky enough to start it. 'Cos I've done that too.....
