World boss scaling

✭✭✭✭✭
Would you like to see world bosses and dolmens scaled to the amount of players fighting it? Too many times hundreds of players are camping it and the boss/dolmen goes down in seconds.

✭✭✭✭✭Other, i don't know how to answer a simple questionDolmens already scale, at least until the Boss shows up. Could it be extended? Sure, but how? Mechanics? Damage Sponge? More Resistance? Nothing more boring than pew pewing a high health boss just because they are high health and take forever to die.
As for World Bosses, I guess it would be the same, but I think they are perfect now for 3 to 6 player teams. It is not that often outside of a plunder skull event that you find large numbers of players attacking them. Also, we have a few bosses in the game that already require (well, stongly encourage) a large party to take down. Maybe in each zone we have one or two bosses that are kind of easy, one or two that are kind of insane, and the middle ones like they are now.
Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

✭✭✭✭Other, i don't know how to answer a simple questionWorld Bosses no, most of them are strong enough to pose a challenge to the average player; maybe some of them should receive a slight static buff but not a scaling one. But dolmens do need a buff since the mobs are as weak as the overland ones and the bosses are in most cases not much stronger.Beta tester since February 2014, played ESO-TU October 2015 - August 2022, currently on an extended break

✭✭✭✭✭Other, i don't know how to answer a simple questionDolmens scales, yes it should scale more with huge zergs.
however enemies drops over time so it can be adjusted as more come running, this don't work with bosses, yes you could spawn an stronger boss if more is waiting but it would not factor players staying a bit back.
Also an issue in how strong you should make an boss for an unorganized group,Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.0 -
malicia✭✭✭✭I'd be all for dolmen boss scaling. Pretty much scale their resistance and damage according to how many people are attacking them. But, then they also need to take away the 12-player loot cap. If you make a boss strong enough to warrant a tank, it's just a mite unfair if the 22 DDs all get loot, but the 2 healers and the tank gets nothing.
BTW - dolmens already scale themselves for me by means of lag. But that's a different conversation altogether.

Flameheart✭✭✭✭✭Dolmens need a buff, world bosses not, because the most of those are already powerful enough.

So let the snow flakes and unicorns dance alone until they melt or vanish from existence, we will finish up with those smart enough to stay in the glowing circle of love.

Runs✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭Dolmen already do this and it's *** up. Instead of it scalling the boss of the dolmen it scales the amount needed to close pinions. If you are alone you will get 3 creatures per pinion, if any other players are nearby the amount grows. It's *** up because they don't have to do anything but stand there and increase the amount of work you have to do, then they just join in on the boss.
They don't need to bring this trolling into the WBs too.Runs| Orc Nightblade • Chim-el Adabal| Dunmer Templar • M'air the Honest| Khajiit Templar
