What do you think about Craglorn? June 2016 Edition

Blud · June 2016

Great looking zone with a lot of potential. I was just running around getting skyshards and wondering about this place. And what do you think will happen to Craglorn with One Tamriel? Wild speculation welcome.

mr1sho · June 2016

Hopefully they will scale it so we can dragonstar arena master weapons again

Vaoh · June 2016

As of right now, it is one of the last places I would enter.

With One Tamriel.... it will be much more appealing.

I kinda hope the arbitrary three player requirememts in Craglorn delves will be removed.

Getting better rewards than from cadwells gold zones would be a start....

ArchMikem · June 2016

I haven't been back in a while but if it's still a Group level zone then it hasn't changed in my view. Get back to me once it's Solo friendly.

"We don't go there."

Epona222 · June 2016

I've been questing there recently with some friends - the storyline is great, but with rewards and loot the way they are at the moment, plus difficulty of finding a group at the same stage of the quest that you are on, there's not really much incentive to do content there other than to play through the story.

They have said they are looking at the zone, I am hoping with One Tamriel it will be scaled and give better rewards.

rootimus · June 2016

Laglorn is still as laggy as ever. It doesn`t seem to be population, so much as the zone not being made / tested properly. For example, there are places that *always* lag, without fail.

Sadly i have barely a clue about craglorns storyline, since all my teammates rushed thought all the quests. :'(

i use the belkarth vendors now and then,otherwise its exactly how the devs envisioned it....a wasteland.

If you're on NA PC, I have 2 characters who have done it, but another 6 I could potentially go through the storyline again on, and 3 characters on EU PC who haven't done it, if you want someone to group with.

SleepyTroll · June 2016

what a waste of development time creating that place. (Not the trials or arena)

TheHsN · June 2016

now it is only market place:(...

ADarklore · June 2016

It'll be great once they make it so you can solo all quests by removing the 'multi-switches' from some of them.

Parrot1986 · June 2016

I use it for crafting mats and gathering nirnhoned mats for crafting research/selling and will do DSA/AA etc if it's the weekly trial but for an area of that size it's shocking that's what it's used for.

helediron · June 2016

As long as the XP nerfs stay, i stay out. I don't even farm there any more.

Simce Crag has lots of good instanced delves, ZOS should try settable difficulty levels from casual to nightmare and tokens there.

Master_Fluff · June 2016

It's a beautiful zone. Works great for maxing legerdemain skiill line without interference from either guards or other players. Bounty is in 7 digits now. Mass Murderer achievemnt x several times

Not really, in an attempt to make it solo, ZOS already made it faceroll easy.

CasNation · June 2016

It is my serious hope that with the rework, they take all of the Craglorn unique dungeons (not the delves, but the dungeons like Shadas Tear) and rework them into group dungeons in their own right. These places are AMAZINGLY well designed, and simply having them scale, adding good loot, and putting them in the group finder would be a huge step in improving the zone.

Farorin · June 2016

Two Reasons why I hated craglorn:

Forced group content, where even if you could do it with 2 or 3 people, it forced you to have 4 there to move on.

Being situated in hammerfell, I hate that place.

Oh yes, poor drops and XP points given are what turning me off from Craglorn. Not sure about this One Tamriel thing.. haven't read up on it yet, but I'm sure I'll give to it soon. Is it supposed to scale all difficulty levels to CP 160 throughout Tamriel and some drops and XP throughout?

NewBlacksmurf · June 2016

I love the group aspect but it's not in the activity finder which makes no sense to me.

They updated the game but this zone should be at the top tier in all environments OR if in the fall, if they raise the level cap, this zone should be at that new cap always.

Nirnhoned Trist is here exclusively still other than some weekly events...the zone is more frustrating still due to the above

danno8 · June 2016

Great place to fill soul gems?

Seriously though, the zone is tougher and offers no substantially better rewards and worse XP than anywhere else.

It is a good training ground to test your solo-builds. If you can solo the delves in both upper and lower Craglorn you have a descent build to try Maelstrom with if you want.

Hopefully they remove the 4 player requirement for some of the quests so I can finally complete the last few quest lines.

Maldon · June 2016

Craglorn will always have a special (bad) place in my heart

No solo content
Forced Group play
Reason I quit the game

This was before the Imperial City so I don't know if it changed.
I had originally hoped this was a game that would treat solo and group play evenly but one you reached a certain V level you were basically stuck in that disgusting wasteland (for solo players) with nothing to do.

I looked briefly at the game when the Imperial City came out but again it looked like the emphasis was forced group play. Not sure if that was the case, but didn't want to invest my time again only to find out I was again cut out of content.

Hope it's better now. Always enjoyed the Elder Scrolls, and I hope that eventually the on-line version will come to understand there needs to be a solo path through content as well as group.

Calls zone Laglorn, makes an example that isn't an example.

Wrothgar, Thieves Guild, and Dark Brotherhood DLCs are all solo-oriented with some group content.

Amdar_Godkiller · June 2016

By far my favorite zone in the game. Maybe it's sad, but my proudest in-game achievement was arguably the first time I charged into a Craglorn hornet's nest and actually won. I've grouped up to complete around 10-20% of the content, and soloed probably 60% of it. 2 more skyshards to go and a handful of quests. It's also one of my primary alchemy farming grounds. Highest drops for columbine in my experience. It needs some LFG love and some re-scaling for sure.

redspecter23 · June 2016

Craglorn is a sloppy mess right now. I'll wait and see what they do with it in the fall. If they fix the xp so it's not artificially deflated compared to everywhere else, that would be a start. The new SO is also a good thing. Updating Dragonstar Arena as well as AA and HRC would be exactly what the zone needs. I've got a frozen trout in my freezer that I want to apply to the person responsible for keeping Craglorn xp at basically zero for over a year.

WhiteCoatSyndrome · June 2016

I have a nasty suspicion it will become bot heaven after One Tamriel drops. Able to enter at level 1 = able to farm Nirncrux at level 1.

dem0n1k · June 2016

Personally, I loved doing the Craglorn group delves (when VR14 was the cap).. done them all except Shada's Tears. I still haven't completed DragonStar arena either. So, still things to do.

I used to take my new VR! characters to Craglorn to fight wasps as they used to be so tough it was a good benchmark to see if my build was OK or not. But either I got tougher or my CP got too high or the wasps have been nerfed... because they no longer seem much of a challenge.

I still haven't done either of the trials... would love to team up & do them one day.

I still wander around north Craglorn, from time to time, in the vain hope of scoring a nirncrux
