For vet DLC dungeons I have simple requirements:
Discord required.
CP500+
Proper build/gear, 25-30k DPS
I've ran them all, no issues the most important thing is having people communicate and actually listen.
Not everyone wants to talk with strangers.
I get that, but I don't trust random people to actually know mechanics and listen. It's much easier to get them to comprehend when you're telling it in their ear vs having to trust they read chat.
talking usually refers to both voice AND text chat. some people sometimes would just rather play on their own.
Sure, and that's why you run into so many issues on vet DLC dungeons. I on the other hand have not.
actualy, i run into issues PUGGING them on NORMAL. WHILE communicating. text is still communication.
every single person who goes "this dungeons are easy" is either playing with a premade group where the know exactly how well their mates are performing WHILE excluding people who are in their view underperforming (which is like... majority of ESO population) and/or are such high performers that they can quite literally compensate for under performing group members.
the rest of us make do with whoever we get, and/or people we like to play with, but that are NOT god's gift to gaming. and herein lays a problem. even on normal DLC dungeons are very VERY unforgiving to such people. forger vet for a moment. NORMAL.
so fine. half the DLC's are useless to us despite a fair chunk of us paying for acess to them via ps plus - so that's half the updates that we don't get to do much with, unless we get lucky and/or have someone take pity on us. but now. NOW they are actualy part of the overreaching story art.
please. for the love of god. STOP with "git gud" just.. stop. its not happening. for a moment instead... just try. just a little bit, TRY to maybe see it from a perspective of someone who is NOT you and doesn't play like you do.
and btw, when I say people who would rather not talk to others, I mean.. they would rather NOT GROUP WITH OTHERS AT ALL.
not everyone likes to play in a group.
P.S. btw... consider for a moment. just for a moment, that its NOT the lack of research that keeps people from pulling 20k.
It is lack of research that keeps people from pulling 20k. I can pull 15k on a PvP toon in PvE content and that's not even with proper gear. Research means knowing your rotation, build and gear. Thus lack of rotation = bad dps.
sigh. I mean I'm not surprised that you are not getting it, but.. you are not getting it. knowing rotation =/= being able to execute it. especially in ESO that doesn't have tab targeting, has this mess of a system called LA weaving/animation canceling in addition to bar swapping. oh and latency. latency messes you up in this game in a way that it doesn't in other mmos...
I just... there is this russian saying that roughly translates as "someone with full belly will never understand someone who is starving" I feel like it applies here.
and you know the irony here, is for all this "you have to be social, its an MMO" admonitions from all these people, you all are also perfectly ok with kicking people out of groups if they don;'t perform to your specifications, forgetting that those people are PEOPLE, they are someone's friends, they are probably people in this thread and others like it. they could be (and often are) perfectly nice people that just happen not to be god's gift to gaming. off with their heads! /slam the kick button
I do get it, you don't. I was new, and I'm a way better player than I was back then. If you get kicked then accept it. I'm not about to be punished and have to sit through a miserable dungeon because you can't better yourself. Nope.
you don't get it. I'm a better player then i used to be as well. I didn't used to be able to solo early normal dungeons or those 2 craglorn story quests that are group based. now I can. however, personal improvement =/= enough for ever growing demands of the the new content, especially with people like YOU.
I'm sorry people like YOU whine about wanting stuff easier.
^ why I am never doing dungeons and refuse to try them for the first time bc apparently I’m going to be kicked out for being “carried” and not good enough for a NORMAL MODE.Any dungeon can be annoying and take longer than it needs to, depending on the caliber of potato you get in dungeon finder. I usually have to carry.
I’ve seen some sh.... shtuff..
Once I saw a guy that had 1 sword and a free hand, just light attacking like he’s in TES V

Sooo.. did you guys see the new dungeon? Because it looks like the hardest dungeon yet xD
My main has a double handed mace, and frankly idgaf about the “meta” or mechanics right now as I like playing the game my way.Reistr_the_Unbroken wrote: »^ why I am never doing dungeons and refuse to try them for the first time bc apparently I’m going to be kicked out for being “carried” and not good enough for a NORMAL MODE.Any dungeon can be annoying and take longer than it needs to, depending on the caliber of potato you get in dungeon finder.

Yes, but I'm not gonna buy it if I can't solo it. I have yet to buy or play any of the Dungeon DLCs and I'm not gonna start now.

My feeling is a skill level requirement somewhere between FG1 and the recent DLC dungeons would meet this need. For some it would be a cakewalk and others hard but should be able to be completed by all without placing an onerous load on any individual player in the group.

@mairwen85
I'm guessing it is one of those roots that pick a person and it is unavoidable but is easily broken by a second person.
I don't get why are so many (not everyone, but many) opposing people in this thread acts like someone who in reality simply wants to experience the story their way, in piece, or with their friends-casuals (which is group, no matter how bad is this group) and therefore asks ZOS not to tangle them in the content they don't enjoy (not can't do, everything is possible with a lot of time invested, but NOT ENJOY) made this thread to steal or devalue the other, high-end player's achievements? Why are you insists on that when no one is targeting vet, hm, your skins and personalities? We're asking for normal mode to be NORMAL. Not a training field for vets, but normal dungeon with toned down mechanics like it was before in same DLC dungeons. Just not like the last bunch that scared the shite out of us.
You're good at this game, gratz. Does this gives you a card blanche to be mean to others, who ended up in situation when they are forced to do what they've never done before? No.
You're good at playing and you enjoy challenge, we get it. But some of us enjoy story and it's now locked behind the content not so many of us enjoy just because ZOS need to sell their dungeons. We have every right to be upset and angry.
And they say that this community is amazing. Right. Amazingly trained to find a person to mock for whatever reason.

would finding a 2nd person be so bad? Maybe someone like-minded who doesn't want to run full group but equally would like to experience the story?

OK. So what do you do about it? You have identified what you believe is an issue; you have a suggestion for improvement; you believe it is something only ZoS can fix (that you have no control over) -- what to do with it? Continue this circular discussion, or take action?
The story is connected to the Season of the Dragon in that, assisting Tharayya in getting both halves of the Wrathstone tablet in Frostvault and Depths of Malatar provides context for how Abnur Tharn has them in the prologue quest. If you do not do the Dungeons, that's fine, some other adventurers helped him... but if you did, its an awesome pay off to see your hard work in the Dungeons with your friends be rewarded with a cool story element, don't you think? It's not something that has happened before and we are excited to finally bring this experience to players who enjoy our group content.

@Casdha we're caught in an almost fallacious dilemma then.
On one hand players: I can't do this in a group.
On the other, ZoS: we designed it for groups.
Community: you should be able to do it in a group.
Then we have players: I could do it in a group, but I don't want to. I want to do it solo, but it's too hard.
