Absolutely trash, huge shiny chest gave me a crap green gloves and 34 gold. I just spent my half hour in that arena without dying as solo, for 34 gold.... smh

    A travesty indeed. Surely we should campaign for change.

    That sounds like you were running normal. Veteran rewards a purple set piece each round and a master weapon at the end. Normal isn't supposed to give good rewards, just teach mechanics.

    Are you real? That was NORMAL? wow....why its so hard to complete? Mine took like 5 rounds of random but with big enemies, and then 1 fighter guild champion at very end, with endless magic characters who DPS from distance. Somehow I managed to survive thanks to my skills I guess. I was Imperial DK level 16,

    I do not want to imagine what veteran look like.

    See at first I thought OP was trying to brag about their "mad skillz" because they could solo vDSA, from the follow up I am getting the sense they're just trolling?

    I don't understand this thread.

    Well, maybe because it's a 4 man arena? It was not intended (and I'm not even sure if it is technically possible) to complete solo.

    If it not possible to complete as solo, then why allow players to enter the arena alone? I'm not in guild and
    I do not like playing MMOs with huge groups, so I just wanted to give a try with myself

    nDSA is easier than most normal dungeons since there are fewer mobs. It's perfectly soloable if you know the mechanics and have a bit of sustain. There shouldn't be any rewards for that.

    Wasn't OP complaining yesterday on another thread that the "elitists" forced him to make a templar healer or something like that and he deleted the game? https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/332102/so-basically-im-forced-to-create-a-healer-templar-to-play-dungeons/p1 He looks as a spoiled crybaby to me :)

    Well it's not meant for solo which is why it took you so long, each round is 5-10mins work for a good team.

    Loot wise it's been a long time since I ran it but IIRC good sets only drop from later arenas (six or seven onwards).
    The gold is based on your character level and gold in chests is never great. With ESO+ C160 you'll get 116 gold from a chest I believe.

    Still not sure this is a serious thread though.

    Dragonstar arena has both a Normal and a Veteran Mode and is a 4men content. Not a solo one.

    There are 10 rounds, at the end of which you are rewarded.

    OP, from what I am reading you completed just the first one in normal mode. This explains your disappointment.

    Try running through the other 9, with some friends possibly.

    Yeah that was me, I just want to give a chance to game, I love elder scrolls games but unfortunately this one is entirely different since its a MMO, and not rewarding. Also I'm tired to see devs keep nerfing income sources,

    The biggest problem with the chests and craglorn in general is all the gear sets are garbage. Wouldn't matter if you got purple, no one would buy it nor use it. It's all decon or vendor trash.

    ...you are of course aware that every single group instance in game, including trials, lets you enter it solo? Because why not, if someone can and wants to do it with <4 people, props to them. It will not scale to the number of players nor will it change the mechanics for you though. Complaining because it takes too long to solo a group instance is silly at best.

    If you want a solo arena, go to Maelstrom, that's exactly what it's been made for.

    I thought it was clear to everyone by now I never have any idea what I am talking about.

    However yes, arenas or stages, but not rounds was my intended meaning.

    because before 1T it was only scaled to vr14 and it was possible to solo. Since then it got scaled up to max level and is much harder to complete. I do not think it has been done solo since then....or at least I have never heard of anyone doing solo since then. I could be wrong. It is certainly designed for a 4 man group. And dint you say you were level16? You should not even be able to access vet content at that level yet
