Basic principle: Everyone needs to be able to do everything. Everyone needs to be able to get everything.
Normal would become solo content, veteran would become casual group content.
Step 2 Set up an Elite server.
Basic principle: Hard to Insane difficulty of content. Hardcore grind for gear.
Normal difficulty is pretty hard. Landscape mobs require attention. Vet is for the dedicated player only. Imagine if completing vFG would make you a name on the server!
Whos's with me?!?
No..One of the more terrible ideas I've seen on the forums for a while, and boy have I seen a lot of them.No thanks.OMG

This is not a single player game where you get to pick difficulty modes ffs!
Play what you want how it is when you want or don't bother.
This is not a please everyone game.

Its pretty easy to pick difficulty modes.
For Overland/dungeon Content:
Easy - use an end-game capable DPS/Tank/Healer
Moderate - use a decent character with under 20k DPS and PUG normal dungeons
Hard - use a hybrid build or random gear sets or an inefficient rotation, or PUG Vet dungeons
Extra Hard - use only bow light attacks
Why complain geez
That's not what I was referring to either by the way.
Sorry, I was trying (and apparently failing) to make a joke.0 -

✭Step 1 Make the game more casual.
Basic principle: Everyone needs to be able to do everything. Everyone needs to be able to get everything.
What would keep people returning if if was easy mode with nothing to grind for / set long term aims for ?
The game doesn't need to divide into seperate tiers, it is just progression, and you progress as far as you have fun with.
If you are happy with casual, then play casual - nothing is stopping you.
If you want to progress and play veteran content , you earn veteran equipment.
If you want to play casual , but instantly be able to get the highest level armour / weapon drops - then you are contradicting your idea because a casual player would not need these.
As far as i can see, no 'neccessary' items hide behind a 'pay wall ' - so we are all equal.

✭✭✭✭✭The only reason "elites" do what they do, is so they can feel good about themselves having something someone else doesn't have.
Putting all the tryhards in the same server will never work. Tryhards want to fight inexperience players and have people marvel at how hard they try. If you give everyone a cookie people will be mad because they want a cookie no one else has.1 -

Getern✭✭✭Idea is almost good. I was proposing different approach:
- Current trash Megaservers for content lovers;
- 2.2 iteration (as it was one of best balanced, like 1.5) for those who wants to enjoy combat .
That way u can bring all elite players to that server, plus plenty of weaker players who came here to actually PVP. Not even mention the fact of briniging back old player, who refuse to play with current bs.
The fact u must get into consideration. The forums are casual based, those smarter ones already left, so dont expect much support on this topic. All those "No" u see here is becasue they are selfish and do not want devs to work on something different than content (I know thats sad). In fact we dont need much for that, just gib us 2.2 iteration Megaservers and keep Wrobel as far as possible.1 -

✭✭There wouldn't be enough population on the elite server, it would just be the people from the forums and that's all.
More informative tutorials would be nice.
I know so many players that got to 160 cp before they learnt about food buffs.. I think I got to 100 cp ish before I learnt.
Where does one learn about how to tank, heal and dps? what is a rotation and how to improve dps to a compertent level? not in game that is for sure.
No cp questing option would be nice start for harder causal content. I also want more things at the Normal Trails level of difficulty (that is worth doing), they feel just the right level of challenge without being punishing.Edited by Narvuntien on March 17, 2018 4:00AM0 -

temjiu✭✭✭✭I'm thinking the general consensus is.....no xD
A for intentions, C- for execution if you think it through. even seeing it positively, it will still separate the population, spreading people out even thinner then now. And the folks on the hard server would most likely not run normal content for obvious reasons, so queuing would be even worse.
the whole grey mix has already been mentioned, so I'll give that a +1. people rarely want to just do X. they may enjoy X for 80% of their time,. but they also want to do Y 15% of the time, and Z 5% of the time. cutting them out of Y and Z only hurts the populace. There's a reason why most AAA MMO's have PvE AND PvP AND dress up AND housing, AND EZ mode AND hard mode. because they have more players when they include all. isolating those elements fractures the playerbase and loses players.
The most effective option really is to simply have more tiers of difficulty. the Two basic tiers they have at the moment aren't solid enough. Normal is too easy, Vet to much of a jump from Normal. they need a secondary tier in there, and possibly a tier above Vet.
For open world stuff, I could easily see different tiers of specific elements. Public dungeons as an example. Having difficulty tiers for public dungeons. having different power world bosses. They could even stage world events that start with easy bosses, progress to hard. there's a ton of things they could do to enhance the challenge while still allowing for easier content, and keeping it all in the same world.
Something they haven't done yet, but I've seen in other games, is to create instance runs that allow you to take a handicap for your group. extra rewards, but hard handicaps. reduced magika regen, as an example. or lower health pools, or 20% less ranged damage, and boss does 20% more AoE. Stuff like that. Interactive handicaps that increase the difficulty w/o necessarily changing the environment. Imagine a run that only allows bows. or a specific class type.
But separate servers? nope. History has proven that bad.1 -
Vimora✭✭✭✭There is no reason for you to just play on this server or that server. I would be definitely playing on both.0 -
Maura_Neysa✭✭✭✭✭To much, Overland just needs to scale a little better to the max CP types and maybe add in a 3rd content level. A full HM dungeon run of the FG1s of Nirn would be welcomeMaiden Maura - Xbox NA

✭Elites are needed to do their hard mode veteran content, while others struggling with easy mode or feeling good doing average difficulty.

✭✭✭✭✭If overland content is too easy, don't play it on your end-game capable DPS character. Or try leveling without Champion points.
I ripped through CWC with my best DPS character, but that made the storyline much less tedious IMO.1
