For many players it essentially is getting a difficulty increase next update. Rebalancing player abilities over time will make content easier or harder. It's old content. Why bother making it harder for people to do for the same rewards it has always given?

If they really want to, they can add a nightmare mode for bragging rights. Mobs hit 20 times harder, resource draining traps all over the place as well as snares, stranglers and a big fiery pit that opens up randomly from time to time and a GIF of Gina giving you the finger when you die.

Just add spores to every stage

im only cp317 aswell so i think max cp can probably clear it with a tank the only thing i found was tricky was the poison level its the round that i lost 4 of my lives on while figuring mechanics

slightly off topic but can anyone tell me if VDSA is soloable like vma? im interested in the 2h but dnt want to waste time going solo

no, theres a round (round 8?) that requires people upstairs and downstairs iirc
so its possible to 2 man it

I'm about to hit vMA again pretty soon, after having my ass handed to me back when I was cp250. I'll try it when I hit cp400, and with a mag toon, so it should be a little easier.

That beign said, I still expect a huge difficulty spike compared to normal stuff, even vet dlc dungeons. I think that one of the things this game lacks the most is difficulty progression, especially for solo content. Everyone can get carried in group content, and you might never know that you are not on par with the difficulty.

So instead of making this difficulty wall even bigger, I would much more prefer that they include a couple new solo content, which could be more difficult than vMA. Perfect setting would be a normal version a little bit easier than vMA and a vet one a little bit harder. Then, players who never dared to hit vMA wall could go in solo content in a more progressive way.

That beign said, I think what makes vMA easy for experieced players is that spawns are always the same. So once you've memorized everything, there is no real challenge left. If ZOS want to make a solo content more difficult, they could just randomize spawn locations which would require players to adapt for each new run.

I don't think 3 year old content needs to be cutting edge.

It still causes regular bursts of ire on the forum.

As I keep stating on other posts, we have to think of content in the eye of casual players as well as experience. Maybe adding a "HM" version on Vet for all those who want a harder solo trial (so increase resistance, damage, and health on the NPCs on HM). Maybe even add new mechanics to HM. New skin. New title. Ect.

Dear God no!!!!! Took everything I had to finally beat it.

Put in an achievement for doing it naked for the elitists to get, but given that VMA is a gate on getting Maelstrom Weapons, there's absolutely no reason to make it even harder for people who aren't uber geared to finish it.

Alternatively, allow Maelstrom Weapons to drop from normal Maelstrom Arena, which is a much more reasonable challenge for the vast majority of the playerbase.

It might be better if a new single player arena is made. Then the VMA pros would have something completely new to conquer.

"I've heard lots of people struggle with it, but I'm Awesome! So it needs to be harder!"

Um, no.

You cleared it on vet, not normal, for your first run with no prior knowledge in 57 minutes. Well done! You sir are ahead of the curve.

Instead of making VMA more difficult, make a more difficult solo arena.

VMA cleared on first run through in under an hour...hmmm.

@goldenarcher1 To be fair tho ive completed all dlc dungeons and on vet for some so i have good game experience just never bothered with vma after horrible rumours lol i only had 9 lives left at end tho
