Shy or not, if you can’t find a normal Trials group in Summerset, Craglorn, or Vvardenfell ... you are literally not trying.

I did my first trial yesterday (nAS), I joined a group forming in Craglorn, very nice people.
Today I'll try to join a group for the DSA and to advance in the MA, I'm glad that this event pushed me into trying new things

Not very fair for low level players not yet ready to face trials. Also not fair as they will be expensive at guild traders. Should have left it away from trials seeing as trials are classed as end game content. Change this.

Normal trials aren't difficult. The problem is finding the people to do them.

They should really just add trials to the activity finder. That would solve the problem.

These are the type of complains that forced Blizzard to put LFR in the game. Guess what LFR did to WoW? Ruined it.

Just run normal CR, doesn't take 20 mins.

Normal trials can be done with level 3, finding people to do them is also easy, especially now that everyone wants to farm motifs.

^ Did Alcast just roast me?

Anyway...

Id love to see a fresh level 3 with no alts and experience actually be allowed into a trials group. I just can't see that happening.

I joined a PUG nAA from zonechat yesterday and we actually had someone on level 27 with us and nobody bat an eye. When he spoke up before we started and said he just wanted the skull, people were like "Dude, chill, it's just normal AA".. so I guess lowbies are fine, as long as they speak up and actually try to join groups.

Two other people were Level 50, but below 160 CP as well.

Pretty much normal trials can handle a few lowbies.

Besides that, it would be a great idea if Zos created some end game boss type fights for events like some other MMORPGs have and that would be trial difficulty.

Edit: they are also tradable so they can be bought and sold. Easy to obtain.

Yeah, I did nAS yesterday with my level 35 stamblade (now level 37) and nobody complained (not in group chat anyway, maybe they did on other channels), I even died 4 times before learning when to back away from the last boss (Saint Olms?) and got rezzed.

Well, let me share a lovely Story, Im in Glenumbra, haveing the Mages Guild daily for Bad Mans Hallow. Im CP873, so, as many know, at this Lvl, esp when you run 10 Characters, it can get very easy, so i decided to just adverise in zonechat and take low lvl players on there first public Dungeon. Itwas so much fun, the awe they geeled, i ended up, doing that in more then one Public yesterday, it reminded me of me as i was low lvl. I will today offer low lvl Group runs for Public and Groupdungeons and in the End, i already know 7, so half of it and have 3 maotife pages double, so, Im actually happy to trade for missing pieces. And, by the way, Im in PC/NA, when Im online, just hit me up, if you need any help, need any of the Food for Gruesome Harvest, i think its called, Achievemnt, there is nothing funnier than having 20 odd people staying in line waiting to be served Frosted Brains, Ghastly Eyeball and so on. Always remember, MMOS are mostly a Escape from our crazy reality, and a wise Man once said, Be the Change you wanna see

Have a lovely Weekend

Ask the guilds you are in. 'Hey are we doing a normal trial run for gold plunder skulls? Can we?" My housing guild did 3 trial fun runs in the last 2 days, Also had at least 4 dragon star arena groups. And, this was a housing guild. Opportunities may be in your very own guilds.

For people who don't belong to guilds who routinely do trials, getting that many people together can be a challenge, especially if they don't have a lot of time to play.

There is really no good reason not to add trials to the activity finder.

LFR did not ruin WoW. That's ridiculous. All it did was give players who would have otherwise never did raids a chance to do them.

Yup, the minute supposedly 'fun' holiday achievements become locked behind PvP (as I fully expect some part of holiday achievs will be next year) or group content = Thanks a lot, ZoS, for freeing up my time.

This has already happened. Last year.

There's a whole PvP holiday event with PvP achievements. Last year you couldn't even complete the achievements unless you'd bought Morrowind.

And at the end of the year there's a dungeon one. Having to play classes I don't love in dungeon content is what prompted me to delete several of my non-wardens.

OH, hold up now! I have absolutely nothing against PvP or Group Content events ~ my problem is ZoS MIXING normal holiday events that are supposed to be FOR EVERYONE ~ > Separate achievs please!

'LOLOLOL, you don't need a tank/healer in a normal trial LOLOLOL'

That's why trials should not be in a group finder.

That probably would happen. I'm sure not all groups would be successful. But still - at least the option is there for casual players who aren't part of a guild that runs trials. So what harm does including them cause? It's not like anyone is being forced into using the activity finder. Those who sign up as fake tanks/healers can always be removed from the trial if it becomes a problem. Besides, Vet DLC dungeons are more difficult than normal trials are, yet those are included.

Game's are always going to have trouble makers. But we shouldn't let them ruin it for everyone else. It really doesn't make any sense to me why trials aren't included in the activity finder where as everything else is. They ought to include Dragon Star arena as well. I guarantee you if they did a lot more people would do that as well.

I suggest if possible doing nAS. It's the easiest normal trial and can be done in 15 mins or so.

nAS is way more an wipe feast than the craglon ones, yes its far faster with an decent group but far to many pugs is laying down dots- res-repeat as rotation.
Lots of people farm the normal craglorn ones for gear, hang around in craglorn farm, explore or quest incuding dailies and watch zone. Note that its easy to get spot as DD, do not fake tank, that don't work in trials

You can run with one tank and healer in most of the craglorn ones if they know that they are doing and dps is decent

Not really.

I was trying to get a trial skull on my third account. My third account is mostly a bank mule. It doesn't belong to any guilds, and it doesn't have any DLC or chapters, so I couldn't join the numerous nCR +0 runs in zone chat--it had be a Craglorn trial.

So I kept typing in Craglorn zone chat, "DD LFG nAA, nHRC, or nSO".

And I got nothing. Nobody would invite me. About 15 minutes later, I gave up and tried something else: I typed, "Forming up for nAA, looking for all roles"

I got a few whispers, and I also invited people I saw in zone chat that were saying "LFG" (I didn't even whisper them or anything--just invited them). Once the group got bigger, I changed my zone advertisement to "LF4M for nAA" and suddenly I got a flood of people asking to join. I guess a lot of people only wanted to join groups that were close to full? I ended up turning away a lot of people.

In total, it took about 10 minutes to form up this group from scratch. Using only zone chat. No guilds involved.

Epilogue: Once the group was formed, I didn't do any leading or organizing. Definitely no voice comms of any sort. I just assumed people knew what to do, and the only thing I said was, "port in" and once everyone was in, "let's go". One person typed into chat that they had never been in AA and had no idea what to do, and someone else responded with something along the lines of, "it doesn't matter, this is only nAA, just follow everyone else". It was a quick and painless run. I don't think the newbie who had never been there even died. Sometimes, you just gotta be the one to take action; it wasn't hard at all.

LF4M for nAA is the key, I also hang around waiting for the LFM requests, then I wispier.
Note that nAA at slow hours is your friend at low level, many farming runs do the 3 craglorn normals and some *** drop during nAA and you need an body to fill the spot, level is irrelevant he just has to stand on an pressure plate.
We once shanghaied an lvl 20 in guild chat, the quild need you for an adventure, on an late night run.
And yes he would remember it, don't think he had done dungeons

Some guy crafted some gear for him afterward, probably the one who got the weapon he farmed.

mayasunrising · October 2018

You don't have to do trials or arenas to get those pieces. They will be fairly common after a few more days and people will be selling or trading them to complete sets. I personally already have gotten dupes that I've just given to friends. Or you can buy them from guild traders. Looking at Tamriel Trade Center, prices have already started to drop

Aurielle · October 2018

People are seriously complaining about normal Maelstrom? I one-shot just about everything in there... In PVP gear, no less. A single ultimate takes care of the boss. It is literally faceroll-easy.

iiYuki · October 2018

They can't please everyone, why do we need to *** levelled veteran players over so a few low levels can get a motif, they'll be on the the guild stores for the next year and most certainly will be available next year. Its nice to see these events incorporate more content other than farming dolmens all day.

I'd love to see a fresh level three with no alts and experience actually complain about being left out of a recurring holiday motif instead of worrying about the basics of the game they just started playing. Please don't tell me the first thought to cross your mind leaving the wailing prison was obtaining a crafting motif you couldn't even use.

There is no good reason to not find a decent guild. Even at that, people can form them in zone chat. Alcast is correct about how easy normal trials are. People do them without any armor equipped.

Dojohoda · October 2018

In my efforts to get all the motifs, I will have spares to sell at the trade guild of with I am a member.

For certain I will have spares, my grammar might be off though
