Kudos for the new Elsweyr trial!

Today we have tackled the dragons in the new trial.

FINALLY we have got something that - unlike vCR and vAS - looks like a proper, real trial. Large rooms, some trash, bosses that are not boring to tears.
I hope at maximum difficulty it will be as fun as hard mode vMOL had been at its time.

Graphics are GORGEOUS.
Mechanics are fun.
Loved the finishing touch on the last (boss about to die) flying pass ray being different than the others.

Love dragons in generals, so that's a +1 too.

    UH? She didn't do anything. Why is she getting credit? Why not put the proper credit where it is deserved. The actual coders who do the work and the bosses who let the workers do their work to get a great product.

    This is the time when I question my decision to move to ps4 from PC. Early releases on PC and that creates a tremendous amount of anxiety and anticipation. Release it on consoles already!

    Can't wait.

    Agreed. The new trial is very well done, in my opinion. This entire update has been overall very positive for me personally. ESO just keeps getting better.

    Three boring and repetitive fights with vastly overinflated health? Sunspire is not a good trial, none of the hard modes are entertaining at all, just annoying. The speed run being thirty minutes is also ridiculous, especially considering all the forced time the dragons aren't able to be damaged.

    SS is nice but I still prefer vCR+3 in terms of encounter design. It's a really well put together fight.

    The only thing I disliked about the Trial was how, well...ugly the Dragon head mount reward is. The boss look neat and golden, the head looks like bright yellow plastic and with the mouth open like that, it's just goofy. I've seen randomly generated Dragons in Elsweyr that look awesome. Major disappointment, since the furnishings are the only reason I cared about trials.

    The only constructive comment I would provide is try to design trials that are not a circle shape, they remind me of the smaller mini trials like AS, I would prefer a start a massive long journey to the finish with multiple mechanics not just for bosses but world mechanics to actually get there. True team work stuff.

    But that's me being picky, its a really nice trial from the visuals to the monsters and beyond!

    This trial is easily becoming one of my favorites. I hope it stays that way when the novelty wears off. The aesthetics alone are amazing. Seeing the dragons fly around, too, is epic.
    Great trial. :)

    The UESP Guild on PC-NA has been doing Lore runs of the new dungeons for a while, but yesterday we did our first ever streamed/recorded Lore run of a Trial. We took more than twice as long as usual to explore Sunspire in depth: stopping for all dialogue, reading the lore books/letters out loud, and pausing to discuss the scenery.

    The video isn't perfect because it's the first one we've ever done, but I hope you enjoy it anyway!
