    What are your favorite things about Maelstrom Arena?

    That ZOS at least put in the effort to try and make interesting content for solo players,
    even if the limitations of the existing game mechanics mean that the final result turned out a little boring and mediocre

    I like how I became a much better player clearing it. Pretty much everything else in the game feels like cake now. Trials are different because it's not just you but 11 other dudes it depends on. But apart from that everything else in PVE seems pretty easy. Even the rest of the arena feels like cake after beating Voriak I think. It's amazing. Like what you actually earn there is god mode and not the weapons.

    And yeah, of course it's the only challenging solo content. Running dungeons alone is super boring I think because many bosses are basically dps sponges. So tedious.

    How about that half of the guides to completing on a stam character suggest retooling to magika?

    Or maybe that I will finally complete it on my stam nightblade this week regardless. Mark my words it is going to happen.

    What I like most about Maelstrom is that it simulates what got me addicted to ESO in the first place: challenging PvE content. Tell me another place in ESO besides Cyrodiil that I can go by myself and not face-roll everything I see.

    Used to be Craglorn. I miss old skool Craglorn so much! The delves - um the ones with quests like the one with the water chick thing boss where you had to go on platforms and off them and kill the adds on your platform before going back to the boss - I totally space the name RN, also the one with the vamp dude in the centre, and some others too, were amazing good fun, every bit as challenging or more than VBF/VFH/VCOS etc...I’d say even more mechanicswise but I might just be sniffing the glory days powder a bit hard!

    I hate everything about it but if I had to find something good..it would be that at least you don't have to start it completely over every time

    Oh wow. That brings back memories!

    Absolutely nothing. My first completion was awesome and I felt so accomplished but then it became a tedious grind which quickly made me start to dread the arena all over again due to RNG. I finally got the weapons I wanted so I am finally free of that dreadful place.
