Bring back Doshia in her first incarnation

Has anyone noticed how easy the normal content is, there are no real challenges to force players into getting Good.
So we now have players devoid of any ability, trying to do content that is far beyond their capabilities because through no fault of their own they have never been challenged into doing anything other than spamming a couple of skills.
Once upon a time we had a Boss called Doshia who was a challenge, as there were mechanics involved in defeating her, sadly because it was challenging she was nerfed into the ground.

✭Bring back DoshiaWiped 3 times on Doshia in beta. I was so bad it wasn't even funny. In all honesty looking back Doshia was never seriously overpowered in any way... It was more the fact that literally everyone had absolutely no idea on what mechanics were, or how to do them correctly. That being said, she was complained about so much in beta that she was nerfed.Edited by Shadzilla on October 9, 2017 10:17AM11 -

✭✭✭✭✭Please ZOS make all main storyline bosses a challenge.I remember Doshia before the nerfs. What a great feeling it was to finally beat her. Now? Not so much.

KeiruNicrom✭✭✭✭✭Please ZOS make all main storyline bosses a challenge.Make all solo instance bosses more challenging and make it so you can do them in a group with scaling difficulty. I know this is a TES game so we gotta feel like an OP special snowflake but honestly it is an MMO as well, having the option to do things completely solo or while grouped is important.Edited by KeiruNicrom on October 9, 2017 10:35AM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭It was only hard because back then we typically fought Doshia at around level 8 and had not learned the mechanics of fighting a Harvester yet.3 -
starkerealm✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭You're a noob stop being so condescending@cherryblossems, the problem was that those early bosses, particularly Doshia, managed to turn people off from the game, because of the sudden difficulty spike, compounded with the part where they were in forced solo instances. So, no, not a good idea. Not because I can't handle overland content, or because I like an easy experience, but because I'd rather not see the population tanking.6 -

✭✭✭✭Bring back DoshiaOk, maybe not as 1st incarnation, but please buff bosses outside group dungeons to have at least 100-200k health. Make new people happy that they survived what might seem as an epic fight at that moment, I am sure many would adore a bit of a challenge at the end of a delve/quest etc.
Also, do buff Molag Bal a bit. He can be defeated with mere light attacks, it is very depressing to spend so much time questing just to stomp last boss in that way. I fought mudcrabs more fierce than him.0 -
UnseenCat✭✭✭✭I never had a problem with Doshia in her early incarnation either. But the mechanics weren't obvious to all players, so I understand the frustration.
I do have an issue with the Grand Sermonizer and a couple of other quest bosses, though. They seem to have overly weak normal attacks, but over-buffed AOE attacks that scale to ensure they'll one-shot you regardless of level -- particularly in environments where the environment is congested with obstacles that interfere with dodging. They aren't challenging in their mechanics, just very poorly balanced. I'd rather they had an interesting and complex mechanic to make the battle fun, instead of block, block, dump all possible attacks and then run/dodge and hope.2 -
ThePrinceOfBargains✭✭✭✭✭
✭No, I'm special snowflake who wants my hand held and to be told I'm specialBut seriously, why do people even care about this? If you’ve been here long enough to remember her being difficult, then chances are, you’re good enough to destroy her now regardless. They’re not going to make her difficult enough for you so that new players can’t get past her. Doshia was only ever a challenge for people that were underleveled or didn’t know how to play. Like, at all.0 -
Giraffon✭✭✭✭✭
✭The problem was that she was stopping the main story line from progressing. That was a big problem because the game was still on a subscription model at the time and people might cancel their sub if they felt like this was as far as they could go.
I think they could work some hard mode scrolls in here and there for players that wanted extra challenges and rewards. Same concept as what you have in veteran dungeons.

CaffeinatedMayhem✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭You're a noob stop being so condescendingI was stuck on Doshia for nearly a month first time. This is my first MMO, and nearly dropped fighters guild questline because stambow DK's didn't have a nice melty AOE like sorcs did. Could I do original Doshia now? Sure. But you're just a condescending elitist areshole who should go play naked.7 -
Ashtaris✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Biased poll is biased and totally worthless. The original problem with Doshia is that she was a very tough boss that you encountered early in the Fighters Guild skill line. Most people were still learning how to play, barely had any decent armor, and then had to defeat that formidable foe. So some like us perservered and got through it, but quite a few others just gave up. What ZOS really needed to do was put Doshia a bit later in the storyline, perhaps nerf her just a bit, and see how things went from there.Edited by Ashtaris on October 9, 2017 3:03PM4 -
Xoelarasizerer✭✭✭You're a noob stop being so condescendingDoshia? The first boss of the first Fighter's Guild quest that turns into a Harvester, Doshia?
I don't recall Sheo's puppy or the Child of Bones as ever being much of a challenge either, nor meant to be as the first bosses. So why would you want to unfairly bump up one them to make them and the experience out of place as a first blood for newbies?
Mayhaps equip less crafted item sets higher than white quality, food and CP when fighting her with your toons if you demand a challenge from your beloved generic Dremora mage #381
(Not that that'll help much, Dremora all suck.)Edited by Xoelarasizerer on October 9, 2017 3:31PM1 -

This^, I just wiped Molag Bal with both my new stam and magic Wardens about 3 months ago. Honestly his adds were tougher then Molag Bal himself was. Remember when fighting past all the other lesser bosses just to get to Molag Bal was a challenge? Now you can grind through Coldharbor in 5 to 6 hours, and that's only if you do all the quests to save all the people. Not that you need anyone anymore. Just free the mages guild and fighter's guild leaders and ignore everyone else, then head straight for the big guy himself."We have found a cave, but I don't think there are warm fires and friendly faces inside."2
