Thanks for the 35+ GB "update"...

Why there is no important balance changes? I was hoping that this patch will fix some pop problems... With Dk and Templar...

Does the update bring the Undaunted Sets up to c160 and have them drop for player from all levels?

Thanks for this update, I am having soo much fun.
Tried duels and dungeons so far. Also a world boss and 1 anchor! Tons of fun

I'm not sure One Tamriel has achieved what it set out to.

While it is still early days, the battle leveling seems to have distorted aspects of the game, a world boss in a starting area had 1.8 million health. Yesterday it could have been soloed by a new player if they knew what they were doing, today it seems like even should it be soloable its going to be like chopping wood to bring it down.

This seems to have transferred across to every aspect of the game with combat what were low level areas becoming sluggish where 40k health is the norm and even side quests are now time consuming. Which is fine if the reward is balanced with the time invested, but sadly this doesn't seem to be the case. Slog through walls of meat for a few coins and a little xp may quickly become boring.

While the much looked forward to Craglorn being soloable, the mage quest line seems to require world boss fights. Now not a problem if you have lots of people exploring with you but isn't really soloable.

While the advertised grouping options this has introduced seem to be a little lacking, unless you can work a better quest dialogue system having group members hold individual dialogues and not knowing if your group are skipping through the dialogue (or just reading it rather than waiting on the audio) it takes the enjoyment out of grouping. Can I listen to the story or will I find that my group has moved on or are they waiting for me only to find another group has torn through killing everything so our experience is following a trail of bodies etc. Encourage grouping is great but if the mechanics don't make it intuitive letting me group with some low level smurf ain't going to be the most appealing way to experience the game.

I like the idea behind this update, but I have a concern with your level always being auto-scaled to the zone you're in. I am a solo player so when I come across a quest or a mob that is simply too tough for me, I will simply move on and out level it then come back to complete it when it is much easier for me to handle. If my level will always remain around the same in the zone I am in, then I won't be able to effectively solo difficult quests or mobs I run into anymore? Same with quests that require you to do them solo.

I have no way to know if this is actually how it will be, but it is definitely a concern.

Loving One Tamriel so far! Didn't think I'd be too interested in the duels but they are actually loads of fun. Especially with friends. But the best part is just how populated everywhere is, and the fact that I can see anyone I want! Can even give werewolf bites to anyone. No longer have to specify alliance when trying to get free bites out to people!

I will check out all the confusing dungeon updates in the coming days. And also level these new weapon ultimates to see what they got

EDIT:
First cross faction werewolf bite

Perhaps a possible fix to this issue would be an option to turn the auto-scale off? I don't know if this would cause any issues but surely this would allow those who don't like this feature and don't wish to use it to still play the way they want to without any unforeseen consequences such as the one I mentioned above.

Will there still be Cadwell's Silver and Gold in Update 12 since you can now go wherever you want and the content is scaled? Can't seem to find this information anywhere.

Yes, you can still do the quest the same way you did them before One Tamriel if you want too. This video does a great job of explaining One Tamriel.

I got the templar through in the harvest heart by waiting till someone else came however now I cannot get my dragonight through as the difficulty level for coldharbour is way too high such as the main boss for the everfull tavern quest. this is a real glitch for single players. None of the ardent flame skills seem to be working effectively and with the knightblade Im having difficulty with the siphoning skills and I have to avoid any boss as a single player with the templer its the spear skills thats suffered

That won't be possible, since everything is now CP160. If you turn scaling off, your character will be in even worse shape, being far below the CP160 level. The game is scaling characters up to the content, so the only option would be to adjust the bonuses to characters below CP160 or to adjust the overall difficulty.

In order for One Tamriel to work as they intend, with characters of all levels playing the same content, the content has to be one level.

Hopefully, if there are enough solo players struggling, perhaps they'll adjust the bonuses to characters under CP160. Or perhaps tweak the difficulty of the content a bit.

In fact how can anyone enjoy the new aspects when you cant progress as the more popular single player just a thought.

I have posted this as its own thread in the bugs section of the forums as it is a over all design bug, but here is what I said....

I have thought long and hard about writing this post. Sad to say it is my first and may very well be my last. My roommate and I are not the biggest gamers on the planet, but when we come home from a long day’s work we enjoy a bit of entertainment. From the time her college told her that they were playing ESO, she stated looking into it and so did I. We both purchased an Xbox one in order to play this game. That was three months ago. We have found ESO to be a fantastic escape from the monotony of the daily stress. It has let our minds and spirit go on adventures we could only dream of. From the stories to the music scores it has been nothing less than fantastic.

The roommate and I have both played RPGs way back in the day of the first Final Fantasy, Phantasy Star, Zelda, and even MUDs. Showing my age, I have played more RPGs and MMOPGs then I should even count. I have worked and lived around the game industry for many years. I say all this to show I am not some person just being a “hater” (or whatever the current word is), but someone that really wants to express my input as to why my friends, co-works, family, and myself will no longer be playing ESO until something changes.

Update 12 seem to be a fantastic idea all the way up to one single nail in the coffin. That nail is one word… “Scaling”. Scaling the level of the enemy or monster just to match your level (or close to it) makes an RPG pointless. The whole reason a person “Grinds” is be strong enough to take oh what is up ahead in the next adventure. You guys took the Indicator levels off the enemy because you felt there was no longer a need due to it was matched with the current player. Awful. If I wanted to travel back to where I started, all the enemies would be at my current level, and this makes me feel like I never advanced or achieved anything. What if I want raise my levels higher just to take on a large monster or boss in a cave, but learning it will do no good until you are killed over and over again. Pointless.

Player Vs. Player (PVP)…. What a wash there too. When would it ever seem fair that a level 12 person be able to kill a player that is level 50+? Why even try or care at that point? Why can a level 25 person attack an enemy with only a few blows and someone that is 45 with same race, pact, and weapons require to hit it three to four times that amount? Does that seem right? Again, Pointless.

I cannot wait to read everyone’s comments on this, and even the team that through Update 12 with the Scaling was a good idea.

I was honestly looking forward to putting more time, and money into this game. Thank you for helping me find something else to do with my free time.
