You're either complaining to complain, in which case, nothing anyone says here is going to sway you, or you're getting "Power Creep" mixed up with lack of clear progression.

If it was all about the creep, there wouldn't be the still-present divide between high end and newer players.

There should always be harder content. There should equally be means of progressing within that content, beyond obtaining a limited number of specific sets or practicing rotations for hours on end.

That is the area that is lacking.

Power creep is easy cop out to present simple gear checks as "diffculty".

Try doing content in plain white gear and then top gear and tell us which is easier (or in a lot of cases impossble).

Hello,
I would like to give the point of view of a "new player".
The game is too easy, even for a new player.
Whether outdoors, in public dungeons and dens.
We especially feel the imbalance in veteran dungeons.
If I am with players of my level (CP) in dungeon we must respect the strategies and the dungeons are really interesting.
But from the moment we fall with big players, say 300+ CP the game becomes completely uninteresting and everything is done in burst.


Maybe they should reduce or remove champion points, or give the same CP lv to mobs.
But it's a pity to see a lot of the content become boring because of the high CP or unbalanced gear.
I still have to unlock 300cp + dungeons and I really hope to have a little difficulty in it.

I hope I contributed to the thread, it seemed important to me to have the point of view of low lv CP player.

Thanks, that is exactly the problem, insane power creep invaldating all content which is utterly UNhelathy for the game in teh long turn.

Game cannot be normalized in difficulty with insane power creep on gear and CP. First you have to deal with those 2 then you can proceede to normalize the difficulty of the content across the board.

sorry, but I dont get why you agree with him, yet we tell you the exact same thing.....

he said himslef that the game is too easy for a new player,....thats all we say aswell
overland content is way to easy, dungeon have a way to big gap between normal and vet.

yes players can just strait out nuke nearly every boss, but the problem aint our DMG; the problem is that the boss has mechanics which are too weak, not dangerous at all.

Lets take the daedroth from CoA2, it was nerfed back a couple patches ago, because ppl trying to nuke it died on the adds it spawned (if you had enough dmg you could nuke it, but 95% of the players didnt have the dmg) yet the majority wanted to nuke the boss, but couldnt...flamed the forums he was to hard -> ergo he got nerfed.

thats also a reason that ppl say the game is to easy, because ZOS nerfs bosses which actually are a challenge, and then they dont nerf bosses which are way harder SCP HM fight for example, so ofc there is big gap between such bosses.

but you also need to keep in mind that DLC dungeon enemies are scaled to the CP which was the Cap when they were released, so a vFL is alot harder than a vWGT

@MikaHR yes he did, dont try to turn statements which can so easily be checked

And you fail in reading comprehension

"We especially feel the imbalance in veteran dungeons.

In fact he IS calling for huge NERF of gear and CP.

You will never do it naked either.

The fact is that it is proof there is insane power creep that is invalidating all content which is VERY bad for longterm health of the game.

Anyway, here is the very easy solution:

Make 5 piece set bonus from dungeons/raids (including monster sets) like 3 piece bonus and work ONLY in/on dungeon/raid mobs.

Dude some plp did vMA with only broom and bucket, so jeah that much said about that.

They certainly didnt just "burn everything is 3s" like that.

Can you at least try and comprehend what is writen?

SMDH...whitestrakes and Iceheart OP now? And power creep? These are the worst examples ever dude. It don’t even make sense.

if you cant comprehend, just move along.

People who cant do it certainly dont have "max gear".

But THAT is mechanics and CAN be done naked with SKILL, now show "CR+3 naked run" and we will talk.

In fact, this insane gear/CP power creep is letting peopel AVOID all mechanics and just stand in the stoopid and burn everything in 3s.

What, so new players cant catch up EVER?

Great way to kill the game.[/quote]

They can catch up easy enough. I started yet another account two weeks ago with no ESO Plus and only Morrowind. I hit CP 160 yesterday on my only character on that account. I'm already doing Vet content and soon will have the Monster sets I need. Sure took me a long time to "catch up".

And I have 19 Undaunted keys already.

if You are using shields as an example of power creep then it’s an pretty irrelevant considering overall survival just got nerfed by a fairly large margin. They are now critable.. the strength was reduced by about 50% in some cases, and in case you say it’s better because of resistances applying... the calculation doesn’t apply flat. So only a little of the resistance actually helps. Since I’ve started playing I’ve seen almost nothing but nerfs. PvE should never be nerfed because PvP can’t adapt.

Some new players enter the game and say it's too hard for them and other players say it's too easy. Both sides have a right to place their viewpoint here, but ZOS can't accommodate both "exactly" without ruining it for the other unless they change the combat difficulty to be individual which brings up other new issues(time to do so, how it impacts grouping, reward adjustments,...........). Right now the game provides somewhat of a midway point for both casuals and elites to play.

The game also does not specifically account for previous gaming experience. For example, someone coming from other mmos or mp games might find this game easier, than let's say someone who never played one before and starts here for the 1st time. That new person to gaming would have to learn the very basics of gaming 1st. By nerfing the player(gear, abilities, cp,.....again ) many of those completely new players would be shut out. They'll likely find the game too hard and leave.

proc sets, abilities and such were all balanced and nerfed down already. I don't see anything concrete here to do it again. Some content is still challenging for fully geared players as well. SO I'm just not seeing it.

How exactly will new player be affected by nerfing gear he doesnt have and CPs that he doesnt have?

cant compare this, vCR was designet to be balanced on about 750 CP, thats like goin into a vet hm dungeon on lvl 40.

vMA is scaled to CP160

Content is designed to be scaled to the CP lvls we have at the moment of its release, thas why new content is "hard" and old content is a breeze to wipe clean

the "fatal" flaw is more that you can access content way above your Power, and then ppl start flaming, that its too hard.

If ZOS would add in a "Power LVL number" like other games had, and tune the dungeons in a way that you need a minimum lvl, then the problem of OP bosses would drastically decrease (LA spammers aside)

Thanks for proving insane power creep is REAL
