Idk what to tell ya. Do normal a few times. Like all ESO stuff. Vet is something else. If I was the tank que ing random, and this popped up. I’d probably leave too.

Don’t get upset. He’s doing you a favor. Your probably not gonna beat it, and spending an hour working on it to maybe get to the King Narilmor Boss and then the group will get stuck and start to fall apart. Because that is what is gonna happen.

Although I like DoM, I agree that it has a number of poor features.

The one-shot Aurorans are there to challenge the tank, they have to be controlled. If they aren’t you will be in for a wipe fest.

The new planar inhibitor doesn’t make sense. Aside from simply DPSing it down, there seem to be no clearly understandable mechanics. Being killed repeatedly in this room is not a great learning experience.

Similarly with the king. The only successful strategies have revolved around eliminating the mechanics by superior DPS. It is totally unclear wtf is actually supposed to be going on. It feels like a blatant port from the boss in HRC that has been badly implemented with no useful cues for players.

Love the final boss. Complex, clearly understandable mechanics, where the challenge is to beat them not simply burn the boss as fast as possible.

Like all DLC dungeons, a large number of players will simply leave if they have been put there for their random dungeon. CP level and ESO+ sub aren’t a good way to judge whether a player has any experience of a specific DLC dungeon.

I dont like any of the new DLC dungeons. All they did was make them more and more ridiculous until even normal mode became like a mini raid. Even with a good group in normal mode that knows mechanics some of the dungeons can take 45 minutes plus.

I remember the first time i ran scalecaller and all the random environmental damage for absolutely no reason but to be annoying and make it a pain to heal. They have gotten completely ridiculous with the crap they put in dungeons now.

I use to be an avid dungeon runner in any game like this and was one here until the last year or so. Now i find myself doing other activities a lot more because the worse the dungeons get the more grindy they feel and the more toxic the players get because they are frustrated about running a normal dungeon that is currently as long as and as hard as a older trial.

I ran normal depths blind and in a pug (it was my random) really most mechanics were easy to understand, only one I had to ask any questions about was the orb boss. I said I had never ran it the people were cool about it and explained orb boss once finished after I asked, it was a good experience and probably about a 20 min run. I can't wait to go in there on vet with some friends. I personally really like the dlc dungeons and most of the people I play with do as well.

then you got carried

I doubt it, it was just normal and mechs were obvious. Just because someone has a different experience then you doesn't mean they got carried. I do decent dps and can follow mechanics that are apparent. Bash kill avoid red avoid wall not to hard

i tank in ffxiv, dont try to pretend the dungeon is well designed, its not. expecting normal players to deal with no telegraph and no introduction to mechanics is why nobody plays the dlc dungeons

Sounds like player issue to me to be honest. The only Bad mechanic is decripify imo and I highly doubt that's what your talking about.
