I want to know your opinion about new trial..

BegoMblu · June 29

Today I was talking with friends in the guild. It was very interesting to listen to their topic about the cage. Many people have probably already completed it, and they know that it's not too difficult in terms of mechanics. Of course, the question was why we were brought back to Molag Bal, Daedra, and similar things.

And everyone had their own opinion, some wanted to see the story of Sheogoroth. Although he is a Daedric prince, they wanted to see a new trial where you turn into a goat, or a sweet roll. It would be funny . Others wanted to see something bright, in the style of Southern Elsweir. Some people said that the dark colors were depressing, and they preferred the difficulty of the game over the decorations.

I'm not criticizing the developers for their work in any way. I appreciate what they're putting in and doing. It's just that sometimes you need to express your opinion to the public, so they can hear you and maybe incorporate it into the game.

I don't like the new trial most of it is recycled stuff from the base game the hardest part is staying awake its boring
and I absolutely hate portal mechanics and every single boss has some sort of annoying portal mechanics this trial isn't hard but its the most annoying trial and OC is probably my most disliked trial for me.

It's obvious ZOS didn't develop many, if any, new art assets for the 2025 season -- at least what's been released so far. That's why OC looks the way it does. The entire content pass so far is heavy in art asset reuse.

It's not that they ran out of ideas, they simply didn't want to develop new art assets this year. Presumably because their artists are working on other projects.

I enjoyed learning vOC and it's not a bad trial to farm. I've only DD'd it, but it looks like a lot of fun to tank. I look forward to learning to 2nd and 3rd boss HM mechs at some point.

No, I would not prefer a trial in which I'm transformed into something silly. I've been through the sheo shtick already, I don't need a vet trial version of it. I'd rather they do something completely new. Hopefully they will soon develop brand new content for ESO again one day.

Surely we will see more of Sheo because it's such a popular character, but I imagine it will be in highly accessible quest content and not a trial. There is very little opportunity to explore stories in trials and for good reason.

Hardest part of this raid is jumping down to the water prior to the first boss.

Overall I like it, I haven't tried the hard modes. It isn't vSE easy, but not terrible. I see group finder groups able to clear it or nearly. It makes sense to have the Mannimarco come back on the 10th anniversary. It is established lore from previous games that he does proceed with his aspirations to become a god.

My main gripe about the trial are the side bosses, why does the team need to be ported out on death? I'm not sure if it is still an issue but I missed out on loot multiple times because I got ported out while we were still getting the hang of the bosses and learning.

I do like that we get two weapons as a reward to cut down on the grind. It would be nice to see this treatment retroactively introduced to older trials, though at this point my collections are all filled. It does feel like a fairly long trial though, with all the trash and three side bosses, but semi open guild groups are clearing in around a hour while loot goblin'n the containers and chests. The speed run seems obtainable if we focused and skipped to after like previous trials.

Full disclosure: I never got to finish the trial (power went out, which really sucked for the team as I was the SPC and Pillager healer).

From what I saw, it’s more confusing than it is difficult. Admittedly I don’t run too many trials (I’m a dungeon and PvP kinda guy), so I can’t really comment on reused mechanics or assets.

I’d definitely like to finish the trial. My only real gripe is the sets. Other than the tank set, nothing really “jumps out” at you. And even the tank set gets overshadowed by Lucent Echoes, Sax Champ, etc

I like that you get more higher tier chests / set items and 2 weapons at endboss.

Other then that, the trial feels too long amd grindy....especially the first main boss.

I did it once, not a memorable experience.

Its a bit long but I quite like it. Then again, I prefer the ones that you explore rather than the arena type ones
