I'll never know how difficult or easy One Tamriel is. I won't log in now because of many of the changes made. Just reading the patch notes made me sick. This game had such potential. It was actually halfway decent back when it launched, but not anymore. So sad. Too bad.

Then this poll also isn't for you because you can, in no way, add anything to the conversation.

I won't know for another seven days, but I think I like what I've read so far.

I just don't want them to up the difficulty to where I have to be social to handle even mundane tasks like running through a Delve.

It is simply not possible for me to group up with and/or hop on a headset at the drop of a hat. I would wake up too many people in my house (I have a deep voice that carries really well through walls...).

If they ramp up the difficulty to try-hard levels and I'm forced to group with people, that would make the game nigh unplayable for me.

I really don't want to have to put this game down. I really enjoy running around as a Lone Wolf and just adventuring at my own pace.

I don't think it's possible for a game to have one difficulty which is right for everyone. Different players will have different levels of ability, different opinions on how hard the game should be and different preferences.

For example when my husband and I started playing Dragon Age Inquisition we were both dissatisfied with the Normal difficulty but for totally different reasons. He switched down to easy because he wanted combat to be quick and reactive so he didn't have to pause and could just play his character, letting the NPCs do their own thing. He also wanted to focus mainly on the story, anything other than a quick flashy fight was getting in the way of the game for him.

Meanwhile I switched up to hard mode because I really enjoy the tactical combat (or at least I did after a few updates when it was working properly). I'd carefully set up the AI for each person in my party, switch into tactical mode as soon as a fight started and pause every few moves to assess the situation and issue new commands. If I didn't need to do that the fight felt disappointing.

I keep on hearing that One Tamriel is fine for max level players but impossibly hard for anyone below that. Meanwhile I'm here playing my level 1 - 28 characters (28 is my highest, lowest is a new one where I chose to play through Coldharbor) with whatever gear they picked up and I think it's about right. I've still not died unless I did something stupid (like going afk at the bank with a 4g bounty) but I feel like I actually need to use my skills in the fight and dodge attacks or move around. Before I was always over-leveled for what I was doing and fights were all easy, even bosses. I'd use a consumable before the fight started then feel like I'd wasted it when I was finished 30 seconds later.

well, speaking as a filthy casual, my experience has been different to yours.

Okay, now read that again.

Okay, now read it again.

One more time.

Loving the changes.

Anchors and world bosses can't be solo'd with your eyes closed anymore. Everything has a new, fresh breath of life (no pun intended) and it makes the game feel new. I love this update!

I merely hate not being able to solo things...Simple reply.

I chose all of the above because -

I like the increased difficulty. It reminds me of the game back in the very beginning, when Dolmen's and world bosses required more than one person, before they dumbed the difficulty down to child safety level.

I think the star rating is silly, and I'd hoped never to see something even resembling "gear score" of any kind in the game. It isn't numerical of course, but still, I don't see it as necessary.

I am still really cross about the crafting changes. Having a split between max level characters, and new baby characters, I either find very high materials, or very low materials, nothing in between right now.

I would have preferred that my crafter was still able to find mid-tier materials like cotton or high iron ore when visiting Grahtwood for instance. At the very least I think they should have kept some of the nodes in those areas "zone leveled" to the old system so that crafters and collectors weren't put out.
I don't want to have to keep certain characters at certain levels just to be able to find cotton or spidersilk or something like that, or have to buy it. It seems utterly ridiculous that Zenimax gimp their players and their own crafting system that they were once so proud of this way.

I may be going about collecting in the wrong way, but it doesn't seem like that. I have a max level who has no crafting skills at all, and she finds end game materials and things like jute, wherever she goes.
My crafter finds all end game materials.
It is incredibly frustrating, and I curse the people who made this utterly stupid decision every time I harvest a node.

I'm mostly indifferent about some aspects like dueling. I get annoyed with ability spam for nothing more than flashy lights to annoy people in end game areas, and I am doubly annoyed by the addition to that, of dueling in banks or stores. I have no issue with folks dueling outside, but have some damned consideration, and stop doing it in shops or at crafting stations. Other than that is seems a fun addition for people and they seem to be enjoying it.

I haven't seen anything made easier yet so far. Except when people are farming world bosses, and you're lucky to get one hit on it before it's dead. But that really relates to the sheer amount of people hacking at it, rather than its real difficulty.

All in all, OT is not as bad as I originally feared, and I am glad for that. It's nice to see groups at Dolmen's and WB's again.
I just take exception to certain parts of it.

Well right now anchors can't be solo'd at all. Because i couldn't find a single anchor to solo.

Anchors definitely can be soloed. I did it on my lvl 32 dk and my lvl 22 sorc. Ofc having 320 cp very much helps

Really excited to try it. Although I'm max cp with BiS gear (BiS before 1T) so I have doubts about how hard it will be -- I'm very hopeful though.

I think you missed the point. Anchors can't be soloed right now because you can't find one that isn't being camped by a dozen people. (Forgive me if I'm the one who's misunderstanding you, @LaiTash.)

wrong,dolmens are super eaay and you can control the flow of mobs with the pinions.unless you wanna go all out

Did you even read the post you replied to, @mojmir?

yea,he said they couldn't be solod due to camping,I been soloing them just fine.

I'm lost on how you solo them when you're not the only person there.
