Just like last time a thread like this was made, there's just too much that's changed, been implemented, tweaked, etc. To list them all. There really are that many.

Not to be a jerk but the only way to see is to try it for yourself. Nothing is better than first hand experience.

Well my concern was the end game. I'd hate to grind all the way there only to find out nothing has changed with the things that made me quit the first time :-P

There's more, but those will keep you busy for a while ...

Thanks! Just what I was looking for

The game is better than you will remember it, there's plenty to do. When I think back to pc launch I can't actually believe it wasn't a beta we were playing. The game still has some major frustrations but it's a lot more robust that how it started out.

People write these threads all the time with MMOs, I know I am just becoming a statistic, but, I played this game at launch and remember LOVING it. I also remember playing hardcore for a few months and hanging up my sword.

I maxed my toon, and felt an extreme lack of endgame outside of the PVP zone. My biggest gripe, was that all the gear was easily crafted by anyone, everyone had the same gear, there was nothing to strive for. The end game PVE (Raids) was lacking or non existent. I know some people love that, so I am not judging, it just isn't for me.

I know that there have been a lot of updates to the game, where are we on those things? What does end game gear and raiding look like? Whats new? I have some buddies that want to get into an MMO, I am skeptically optimistic to suggest ESO.

Thanks guys!

End game PvP is just about as bad as when you left two years ago. Instead of OP DKs roaming about you have cheesy one-shot stamina builds everywhere.

Crafted gear is no longer "BiS" for most builds in the game, so that's a plus. Not to say you can't run all crafted sets and be competitive, but most of the high end builds are very drop oriented.

End game raiding has had somewhat of an update. There's a few more trails since two years ago, all with the difficulty raised quite a bit. All of the undaunted dungeons are still a joke though.

CP was also introduced with the removal of soft caps and VR levels. You must now grind CP instead of levels, which to catch up to the current cap of 561 is quite a lot, even with the catch up mechanic in play.

End all be all is that you won't know what's good, new, different or worse than when you left unless you play a bit yourself.

To actually answer your question.

Overworld scales to your level now and you are no longer required to ve in tje same alliance to do pve together.

There is non pvp dueling.

There is a 4 man 10 stage trial normal and vet
There are now 4 12 man trials, each with normal and vet.
There is a 1 person trial normal and vet.

Pvp has capturable towns and imperial city and sewers is a pve/pvp mixup especially fun for small groups.

There are i think 36 monster helm/shoulders and thousands of drop sets.

All gear in trials is bop now, so want the best gear grind for it.

Its more of the same though so if you burnt out on the "style",for lack of a better word, of the end game, that hasnt changed.

Housing and battlegrounds are coming next year
