If this is the case they also need to reclassify the content to be the same as other zones.

Did your skills, sets or food get buffed? Have you tried soloing dungeons that were previously just out of reach? See if you can do something that is unrelated to craglorn that you couldn't before.

The adjustment occurred a long time ago. I entered skyreach hold today as well and the difficulty is about the same as when I entered it during the last week of the anniversary event. Either you didn't play after the initial adjustment or you simply became a better player.

So can you easily solo the Anomalies now too? What about the event where you have to protect the NPC?

Maybe it is just the adjustments made to my build show up more there.

I'm aware of the adjustments made a while back and this is even easier for me to play now. Maybe it was adjusted where high end players wouldnt notice but medium level players would.

What I initially thought it was, was that reverse slash now affects more targets. It use to hit two or three now it works like a front aoe hitting anything in front of you, like 7 or 8 targets at a time. Maybe that is all that it is.

If this is true, it would be a good thing. Despite ZOS's efforts to make Craglorn more playable, it's still a ghost zone other than those few who still farm Nirn.

I might have to take my main to farm some achievements.

Did you try an Anamoly or one of those Portals? Those used to be World Boss level mobs, have those been softened? How about the Nirncrux mines, is the final boss easier?

Idk about that everyone is chilling in belkrath. The issue with craglorn was always they needed an activity finder or unique rewards for group activities.

The issue with Craglorn is that everyone hated it...and everyone hate it now....and has been reworked twice already, there is high probability ZOS gave up on it and accepted it will stay a dead zone.

I believe the concept of Craglorn was largely right, just the timing of it was wrong.
Now that there is a gross surplus of solo questing content in the game development would do well to take another look at Craglorn, return it to group content (many of us thoroughly enjoyed it) and update the rewards/loot-table as accordingly.

Gosh, I hope so. Only region I've never touched in all these years. Hate being forced to group.

Why? Mybe they should insta CP810 you for killing some random *** in Craglorn too to "attract more attention".

If it hadnt "attracted any attention" by now its a lost cause, and i guess ZOS is aware of that too, after wasting enough time on reworking it completely TWICE already.

Engage Maximum Hyperbole!

A small push isn't a bad idea. Like perhaps making the overland sets better, then you might see more people there.

Way of Air, instead of 6s make it 10s and it might be a bit better
Way of Fire, kind of a lost cause since it is a Stam set, that supports Elemental Damage
Way of Martial Knowledge, increase it to not just 1 attack, but all attacks for the next 4 seconds with a 10 second cooldown.

Aside from questing, the biggest reason you see people out in the world is to farm things such a Gear, Skyshards, and Books. You can avoid all the skyshards and books in 1 zone, and still get all you will ever need, but Gear is a different story. It needs to be worth the effort.

Ok I tried all three today and soloed all three. I had to do resource management more so ending dps was only about 11k but my health rarely dropped below 80%.

I'm pretty sure I could have soloed a mine before the patch but I've tried to solo the others before and failed miserably. It hasn't been that long since I tried one of the portals.

After playing more of the game, I think another thread I've seen here is correct. I think they nerfed the difficulty of all the overland stuff again.

The problem with Craglorn is it was released as an "adventure zone" designed for group play. It served that function for a time... it had a fair amount of group activities and raid activities and was the de facto grind location. For the period of time where the content was relevant it was pretty decent and well populated. The group delves were actually quite good for their time and actually required a group that was competent.

When the xp nerfs hit it and when new content was released (IC primarily) it died out. It was still "balanced" as a group play zone though... From IC on you had a change in DLC material... Adventure zones were entirely scrapped (craglorn and then upper craglorn being the only adventure zones, my guess is IC was originally to be an adventure zone due to it's group content). From IC onward it was all DLC material which is all soloable content (including the delves). The only content in every DLC post IC that isn't solo friendly is world bosses.

Eventually they balanced out craglorn to a degree... but in some cases the zone and it's delves had mechanics in place that made them not soloable. They have made a couple passes at rebalancing Craglorn, but it was designed to be something entirely different and it's not so easy to change it's nature. It needed to be done though.. as it's just not feasible for a non max CP player to complete the zone and with no one to complete it with, it's even more impossible.

Craglorn/Upper Craglorn were from the sub model of ESO and were also from a pre-CP time. Craglorn came with a level increase (and gear level increase) and then Upper Craglorn did as well. Vanilla ESO was veteran rank 10... Craglorn was veteran rank 12... upper craglorn was veteran rank 14. They did a holding pattern at VR14 until they scrapped it entirely at Dark brotherhood. Point being that the Craglorns were just from a different model of eso, one where actual level increases were happening instead of the CP system.

Well, I must be dreadful cause it killed me as bad as when I tried the last time Girl just wants to quest, gosh darn it!
