Simple straight forward poll. The issue has been raised numerous times, so what is your opinion of the matter? Based on YOUR experience, not what you think others think

✭✭No option for.
You even admitted this has been asked a lot already so WTF am I posting about it again option. I'll choose that one.3 -
lardvader✭✭✭✭✭Just right.To me it's far to easy but for someone who just started with 0 CP and no knowledge I think it's about right.
There are plenty of other things to do for a challange anyway.CP 1200+ PC EU EP24 -

✭✭Far too easy.Err it is too easy most of the time... except i can lag out and die.
My knowleadge of healing shielding and AoE Dots makes them all drop without being much of a challage. It was a lot harder when I was just started.
I kind of really enjoyed the challenge of soloing some of the world bosses, a few of them are too hard for me to solo. Even in overland content there are things you can find to do for a challange.
Still I really want a difficult slider in the game for overland. I also think that the content in the later zones should get a little harder, I know I know you can go anywhere but they should get harder. Perhaps start turning down the scaling as you level up... but then you have negative progression and goes against everything an MMO stands for so I just have no idea.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Just right.Or, rather, "it's fine as it is". Yes, some parts are easy - which, of course, also depends on what class/build I'm playing at the moment - but that's ok. And none of it is "far too easy", so that option definitely was out.4 -
coop500✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭Just right.I feel it's just right, it shouldn't be like fighting a boss battle every two steps, that would be boring.
Overland content is the easiest content, but there has to be something everyone can do.
On my Coop Ahoy character, a stamina templar, level 40, she can have a hard time with overland content if I don't pay attention. With no CP and ground find gear, it's plenty hard even for someone that's been playing for a year. I wouldn't say it's ACTUALLY hard hard, but it's not easy peasy either.Hoping for more playable races5 -

✭Just right.
This. But then I play in a particular way to deliberately disadvantage myself when playing solo or questing.Kiralyn2000 wrote: »Or, rather, "it's fine as it is".

This. For most players who are able to do veteran dungeons/trials, overland content will be easier than falling asleep.
To a new player with no knowledge, however, the difficulty is just right.Kiss the chaos.6 -
Khenarthi✭✭✭✭✭
✭Just right.Easy if I put on fancy max level armour and weapons, with fancy max level food, knowledge of the game and my class, and a generous amount of CP.
This means it's just right. If you find questing too easy, you can just skip eating food, quest naked or in broken gear, limit yourself to one skill bar, etc. I do this on most of my characters.PC-EU7 -
Storymaster✭✭✭✭✭Is overland content, post starting zones too easy, for you?
If you are looking for greater difficulty, unassign all of your CP.

It's far too easy.
Exploring Tamriel is one of the game's highlights and a large portion of the game itself. If that descends into simplicity (which it has for high levels) it harms the game significantly and makes it less interesting and fun.
To those who suggest you can go elsewhere to find challenge. Yes - this is true. You can go solo dungeons or step into VMA if you enjoy torture. But the bedrock of this game has always been exploration/questing. It's where most of the game's focus and resources are applied. So it's important that players can enjoy this at every stage of their character's development. So this argument that it's fine as it is because you can just go do something else doesn't float with me. That's just ignoring the problem instead of fixing it.
This same downward spiral happened in respect to LOTRO. I'm sorry to see it starting to happen here as well. Hopefully the developers will address it.

That is the same thing we saw in SWTOR too, and we all know what happened there.
Genuinely trying to ge a feel where ppl are, so please dont get snarky because your opinion is not the popular opinion.1 -
theslynx✭✭✭Just right.As others have pointed out, a poll with additional choices, especially something like 'easy for me, but fine for newer players,' would have been more informative. There's also a huge chasm between 'just right' and either 'far too easy' or 'too difficult.'
If you're intending to use this as proof for the 'CWC is too easy' thread you've been hanging out in, this poll is flawed. I would be hesitant about using this as proof for the larger point that all overland content should be changed to be noticeably tougher, which was your earlier argument.7 -

✭Enough of this already. I really hope anyone complaining about difficulty has tuned their character way down. No CP, level 45 armor, no armor or anything else that will simply scale you down to meet your own difficulty needs. Unless you can solo vma naked, you are the problem, not the game.4 -
Nestor✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Roll a new character, use non set gear, and no CP's. Then tell me how hard or easy the content is. That is the bar to be met for a new player.
Experienced players can seek out harder content behind doors (Dungeons and Trials)Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

Its_Alexis✭✭✭Just right.Easy if you create a new character, with crafted gears, food, max CP.
It was just right for me when I just started out a year ago, with no knowledge of item set and food, I focused on the stories and trying not to die while learning about my class. It was really fun actually, I only read, learn and try to follow meta when I completed all the zones, not including dlc.PC NA

New players are more than welcome to vote, the poll is how you feel it is for you, not for someone else. You and me dont get to speak for other people, which is why the poll is the way the poll is. If you are going to be snarky, and try to derail the thread, you can leave now.1 -

this is about overland, not dungeons or trials. I already posted a video of me at lvl 7 with horendous gear. Also, I should clarify, this is the first time ever playing a nb.
