Why overland isn't fun for endgame players in one picture

exeeter702✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭I think when Summerset comes out I'll do the quests naked with no CP assigned and white level 1 weapons, to hopefully make the quest encounters more interesting. I love the storytelling, no doubt. That's the main reason I love questing and look forward to every new addition, but I do agree that when a big antagonist in a quest is all built up to be powerful and threatening and the stakes are high, and then they die mid-speech during their first battle taunt at the start of the fight it gets a bit anticlimactic.
Hmm, maybe no food or attribute points either.
Well i can assure you, using no cp and only looted gear having done so in both morrowind and cwc the difficulty is barely noticable and the experience no more engaging.0 -

You obviously don't. The point is that I want a system that fits more different players then the current one.
"More different" is woefully unspecific. What exactly do you want?
A scaling system, multiple difficulties or something along those lines to make overland contend more fitting to a players strength.
Okay. Fine.
But given ZOS is lazy so it'll be more likely they'll try to just buff Overland into the stratosphere, because their lazy.
So I'm still going to resist you every step of the way because if there's anything I can count on it's this company to be somewhat lazy.2 -

It's especially funny if you've ever played the Souls games. They're not really difficult. Brutally unforgiving and with a learning curve like slamming your face into a brick wall, but they're not hard once you get a handle on them.4 -

jerj6925✭✭✭✭What if you removed all your champion points and did the over land content with out CP would it be more to your liking? just wondering.
A boss that dies in three seconds and does no mechanics what so ever isn't fun and sadly this is the case with pretty much all overland content. I really like questing, however with every enemy dying in two hits it simply isn't fun. In my opinion the level scaling needs some serious tweaking, so that endgame players don't outscale overland enemies so much.

A boss like this without CP or proper gear is pretty much the same, takes 10 seconds longer and still has no relevant mechanics.
But yeah, I usually do questing on my main (healer) and it is somewhat more enjoyable.Edited by FakeFox on March 11, 2018 4:52PMEU/PC (GER) - Healermain since 2014 - 50305 Achievement Points - Youtube (PvE Healing Guides, Builds & Gameplay)0 -

I've seen plenty of low level players struggle with overland content. It needs to be as easy as it is now because this is an extremely complex game that has a large skill gap. The barrier of entry into the game needs to be as low as possible in order for them to make their player as large as possible.
I've had to go help guild mates and people in zone chat with quest bosses before. You may find the difficulty insulting but I bet there are plenty of players who have struggled with overland and find your comment insulting.
Why someone who is an end-game player would possibly want to go around and do quests and right trash mobs and mini-bosses all day is just totally beyond me. Go play darksouls or something I think that will have more the type of content and experience you are looking for.

Well I Mean I Could say ghosts and goblins but it's a bad example due to the KIND of difficulty. Dark Souls kinda hits the spot for good difficulty or was at least the most recent game to do so.Playing your character the way your character should play is all that matters. Play as well as you can but never betray the character. Doing so would make playing an mmoRPG pointless.0 -

Run naked, that's what i do. For added (subtracted?) bonus, swap your weapon(s) for a broom.

Well be mindfull as to not put words in my mouth. As long as incentive is not in place for overworld content, then its ultimately inconsequential.
The point is that games like this do not need to be razors edge in one extreme or the other in terms of content difficutly. The greateat minds that have helmed game projects over the years realized a very important thing : design a game with the informative tools available to your player base, respect your audiences intelligence and potential ability and trust that they can overcome the resistences you set in place. Above all else, do not coddle your players.
Having a game world that pocesses some form of agency and actually taxes players to TRY and actually have the possibility of a failure condition makes it for more meaningful as a whole. Your firat sentence has no place here as that is not what im talking about whatsoever. Im talking about designing your online game as to not treat your new players like 10 year olds.
Most wont agree with me im sure, judging by the gaming climate nowdays, but making sure new players are never, in anyway whatsoever removed from their comfort zone and catering to the lowest common denominator, takes away too much for new players that deserve more respect for their ability and DESIRE to rise to the challenge presented to them on a moderate level. Overland is treated like an experience with the mildest of failure risks. Its not about wanting some strict demanding overworld that taxes a max cp fully golded character.
Its about creating an organic difficulty curve / middle ground that slaps you on your wrist once and while and offers some form of lessons for when you do decide to tackle the harder group content i the game instead of what it is now : an isolated grossly casual experience that in no way lends itself to the greater whole of the game, and does nothing to reinforce player improvement.Edited by exeeter702 on March 11, 2018 6:06PM1 -

Nice numbers.
If I had those numbers I'd spend my time soloing group dungeons, pvp, or vet dungeons on hard mode, exclusively.. I wouldn't waste my time in a delve, complaining how easy the bosses are. Unless, I'd do dailies in Orsinium or anywhere... but again, why would I complain? I'd be more than happy to know how fast I can storm through a delve and be done with it..
But yes, it's me... you're you... hence the thread...

Some people find over world difficult, so you would be taking away the one and only thing some people can do, but to keep it the same takes nothing from anybody. If they make a more difficult over world, they need to make soloable trials.
Some people have disabilities which make playing games hard. With the over world as it is, this game offers great story at a casual pace to those players. Something that is not easy to find in games.
That said, I would love a toggle to make OW vet mode. You would need a separate server for normal and vet, and the population in zones would decrease again.3 -

✭✭✭✭✭I actually really liked the level scaling in zones before One Tamriel. Made the game way more interesting as I progressed (as a new player then). I didn’t randomly get weaker due to scaling overtime, and the whole experience was consistent. I knew there were tougher areas and easier areas, with the choice of what I explored being up to me. Nowadays if you can beat one enemy you can beat them all.
I fully understand that One Tamriel was great for the game in general.
There should be “Veteran” versions of zones though imo.Edited by Vaoh on March 11, 2018 7:42PM2 -

I was with you until bolded sentence. personaly i LIKE questing, for me this is at least 50% of the appeal of this game (with at least 40% going to housing). but then again, I think current overland difficulty is more then fine and doesn't need to be made harder as new players already struggle some of the time.dirty worthless casual.

Doing 45K dps (which not many in the game do) you should be taking out WB's solo and not delve bosses.
