l2p and get gud.

Trust me, if i was bad i wouldn't have been able to do the Stonefire Ritual quest solo. I can imagine lot's of people couldn't do it and gave up on that zone right there or called for help.

I played through that zone on one of my characters recently and didn't have any problems with the quests. I'm not sure if ZOS has changed anything with the zone since I played it, but if they haven't then you might just need to get better at the game. This isn't meant as a diss toward you, it's just the truth. I still believe that the game doesn't need to be made easier.

There's absolutely no way that any of the overworld zones/quests/mobs are too hard, including reapers march.

OP, how long have you been playing? How many champion points do you have?

I started recently. I am level 36 now no CP and i am glad to say i have done it now. Solo. The 3 elites at once fights appeared several times and my mixed and matched gear wasn't quiet up to snuff but after 30 soul gems i finally did it as pure stam bow/dual nb. I finished the zone and am looking foward to some easy starter zones in the other areas :-)

I don't know who designed Reaper's March but i know that this person has done a terrible job at it. First of all the quests feel very WoWish and uninspired: Get 25 tiger fangs, collect 3 of this and 3 of that, and wtf was this festival all about? Hey you won the competition and earned access to this super fun festival, now go fetch us some chicken and serve the drinks???. Fed-Ex quests galore. Other areas are superior in every way.

Secondly the quests are too hard. I have almost never died in this game before i came to this area. In just two quests i used up almost 20 soul gems because the designer is throwing 3 elitemobs at the same time at you. Mobs that unavoidably stun you from range as well as mages that do 6k hits and heavy melee units all at once.
Someone at ZOS needs to look into this zone (preferably not the creator) and change it. So far i was really enjoying this game but this zone is so frustrytingly terrible that it taints the overall expierience.

If you think it is hard now you should have play back when ESO come out then quest was hard now the are just easy i know i was Reaper's March just few week ago with alt with crap gear and i solo everything there also Reaper's March design as end game zone before we got all new content so thing should be little hard then other zone.

Good stuff. Sounds like you're on the right track.

I believe you're still learning the fine details of combat, class mechanics and gear. Once you're around a couple hundred CP you'll look back at those three elite mobs and laugh

I really didn't like the zone story so i skipped all of the side missions. The difficulty spike hit me right over the head and using 30 soul gems didn't really feel like i accomplished something rather than i lucked out 1 of 30 tries. I know that my gear sucked but i was forced into worse stats and lack of synergy because of the star system.

I love the game, don't get me wrong but i had to post this here because this was one zone that felt completely out of place in terms of the rest of the game. It felt like i stumbled into a group dungeon on my own and wanted to give some feedback from a new players perspective.

A game designer will certainly find several clues here as to what is unpolished. Star system forcing people out of sets does the opposite of it's intention: Making gear viable after the one tamriel update for example. I regret doing the Dark Brotherhood pre 50 160CP because my "Star Rating" gimps me in the process of leveling up.

How can you not love the Five Finger Dance of Baan Dar?

I really lmao when I had to blow up chickens with the Wand of Fowlfire

Yeah serving chicken and beer was quiet the opposite of being rewarded with a visit to a fun party. Besides that and the nice scenery there wasn't much going on. Nothing interactive. It reminded me a lot of WoW. And that is a negative in my books.

Before one tamriel Reapers March was one of the final zones, so there are larger numbers of mobs and they have a wider range of abilities, so in some ways it can be more difficult.

It sounds like you are skipping quests because you have decided you don't like them, so it is going to be hard for you to change your opinion.

My oppinon is that Reapers March is one of the most satisfying zones, introducing entirely new lore and the architexture/environment are stunning. Dune is the best looking city even if it is isn't the most functional.

I actually can put my finger on it. First of all as i said the fetch quests. I figured that each zone might be created by one guy/team so after the first few quests i disliked i figured that the rest wouldn't be worth it as well.

Secondly i dislike all this spiritual journey stuff. It is very immersion breaking for me when my charakter (a ruthless and effective machine for the Dominion) is helping someone on their spiritual quest of becomming a good person. I was much more engaged when i could rp some secret agent of Queen Ayrenn and do some secret missions, like stealing documents, scouting the enemy, undercover missions or even not so exiting diplomacy, especially as NB, Thief and Assasin.

I think this game would have benefitted from fewer sidemissions but more class based missions.

questing in general wasnt hard at start of game, i was running quests first 3 months of game on a nightblade (most underpowered class at release) in dropped no set gear more often then not completely broken.

I have finished that map 5 times now found it quite quick and easy.

Well i had no CP i was level 36 and i was all stam specced with almost no self heal. I found the 3x130k bosses in this tiny room quiet challanging. Especially when 2 melees chase you arround in a 10square feet room and you try to kill the mage that is hitting you for 6k while you get stuck on crates and then hit by a massive 2-hander. Or the dark mane who summons wolfes non stop and all you can spam is mass slow to keep them at bay.

On top of it all the NPCs then say : "Oh you have done a fine job helping us fight this meanace!"
Helping? I did all by myself you lazy basterds !

Curious, but what level & quality gear do you have equipped?

I ask because it seems you might not be keeping your gear updated, as per your commentary about the star rating system... and regretting doing the Brotherhood dlc questline because of it. Maybe I'm misreading you, but sounds like that you don't want to upgrade/change gear due to you having a gear set and not wanting to lose the bonus.

Also, have you done any trait researching? Crafting your own gear can easily keep your gear up-to-date and relevant, and the crafted set's do offer some decent set-bonuses... even at a few trait's known per piece. While dropped sets are likely better than crafted, crafted are easier to keep updated as you level.

Another thing - what class you are, and what skills are you using? Your problem might also lie in what skills your using. Possibly there are better skills you could be using.

Finally, regarding no self-heal as stamina - have you done any PvP'ing in Cyrodil? I ask because you can get a good stamina based heal once you hit alliance rank 5. From what I've read this is fairly doable in a few hours if you can get in with an active zerg. If your struggling with self-healing, this might be an idea/option for you to consider.

The thing with stam NBs is that they rely more on mobility than other builds, which have better heals or shields. Survival is a bit trickier to learn. But as mentioned, you can get access to Vigor, you also have avoidance in Mirage (class skill) or Evasion (medium armor).

to OP. I am a C+ player at my best moments. I only had trouble with the one boss who brings his healer. SO, I leveled up a little more, invested in better set gear and came back later. No shame in it.
