    Every time I look in these forums, there are multiple threads complaining that the game is too easy. Forum vets can do everything there is to do with one hand, blindfolded. It doesn't matter what race you pick or gear you choose, you can do everything naked on a hybrid Nord anyway. Make everything harder pls.

    Ok, have a sweeping damage nerf.

    Maybe that's what's going on over there.
    Overland is easy, vet dlc dungeon is another story.

    Yeah, and that's my chief concern after I saw those nerfs. What is this going to do to those DLC dungeons? Especially the newer ones. They might have to nerf those to bring them in line with what people are capable of doing with these nerfs, but in the meantime we could be seeing those dungeons being next to impossible to complete.

    I'm both a PvPer and a longtime vet trials player, and can say with certainty that the combat team doesn't have even the slightest clue what they are doing with these changes.

    Because it is neither about PvP nor about vTrial. The vast majority are players who just want to build the way they like it and have fun while not get bored. ESO has become lore canon and just like Skyrim will be played in 5+ years. On Stadia, maybe on the Switch even. Who knows.

    They are "back" on track. Back to future 2. Sustain is a topic again and they are not clueless.

    Yep - three key skills nerfed in a class that already struggles - total joke.

    @BlueRaven, false —

    When they started with the new sets for Dragonhold, they spoke specifically in terms of PvE. This is not a PvE vs PvP thing. Idk how long you’ve been playing, but currently DPS is out of control in PvE, these reductions in damage are a good thing! When VMoL first came out the requirements were 20-25k! That’s it! Now top guilds require much larger parses. This is a move in the right direction. Also all under the hood adjustments benefit both PvE and PvP. I suggest going back and rewatching. They even mention their specialized team that runs through the content was still able to complete the content. You’re seriously naïve if you think otherwise.
    Great changes all around!

    I do agree dps is way out of control. four man group content should not be posible to solo. There is no dps requirement from Zos on any content, simply because all game content should be reachable to all player´s.

    We can´t have a minority of other player´s dictate dps requiremen´s on ANY given content in ESO period.

    My magssorc got a heavy nerf, but if this is the road to a more including game, where dps is NOT out of control as it is now, then that´s the price i´m ready to pay.

    It is going to be a massive pain getting new players vet dungeon ready. I don't have the time to do this anymore with these changes. I just can't even.

    My main anxiety is VMA is doable but not enjoyable, 30 runs trying to get a lightning staff ( i got the fire staff fairly early) and it moved straight from stressful to tedious with no real feeling of fun ( although i got a leaderboard result so that was pretty good ( Got a shity 2 handed sword)).
    Just started to run trials and work on my rotations.

    These sort of changes will not effect players at the top at all, will probably barely impact players near the bottom but for players like me just breaking into end game it changes trials from a slope to a wall. Will have to see but i suspect the dev team have just motivated me to do something more useful then playing ESO.
