Folks. v16 weekly rewards coming to the trials when the next DLC is released. Nuff said. Yes we'd like to see trials scaled, but ZOS has repeatedly (rightly so) stated it's way too much work to recode when their focus is forward momentum. Be thankful that the old trials are getting love at all. It's put a smile on my face at least.

I agree with Caperon.

I do not want new DLC for other money. I want to play old content with my level VR16 for reward VR16 and challange VR16.
I paid for this content, but This content is not useful for me now.

you state In regards to the rewards

@ZOS_Finn ,

Does that implicitly state that you will increase the difficulty level of the Trials?

To keep the challenge up to date with the level of the players.

No, there were a couple of things mentioned in that thread and he specifically called out rewards. I just wanted to reiterate that I was only speaking about the rewards part.

We are not planning to increase the level of Trials and/or Arenas right now. We will be at least increasing incentive to do that content though.

YES, We have 2 problems.

1. Not useful rewards for old end game content and very, very much not useful sets for VR16.
Your answer in translate to players is ... F*c* you ... give us money and we give other DLC with new sets for VR16.

2. Not challange old end game content for VR16.
Your answer in translate to players is ... F*c* you ... give us money and we give other DLC with one new Trial

Your communication to players is arrogant.

The devellopers could not SCALE UP the actual Trials in the game because it take time, ressource and a lot of coding.
However, they are going to bring some changes to make this content relevant with the next DLC.

2 DLCs and still no actual change

My reply is stupid? I simply reiterated what was said by a ZOS developer. Did you not read what I wrote? Or are you qq'ing because it's just not what you want to hear?

Would it be nice for the devs to code in older trials to be scalable? Yes. However, they are too busy and it is too much work to go back and do that when they have more important things on the horizon. Is it ok to completely ignore them and give them no attention at all? No it is not. Thankfully they have heard our plight and they are going to offer weekly scaled rewards to old trials. What is not good about that? It's about compromise here, not 'get everything we ever dreamed of'. I don't get these forums sometimes.

Why do all trials have to be v16? Why can't players who are newer to the game start doing trials when they hit v12 (AA and HRC) and then move on to SO and whatever the new trial is going to be?

I'm hoping that the scale of weekly rewards will be enough incentive to get folks to do trials more often. My sorc hasn't done them yet and my tank just hit v13.

I really think you are missing what ZOS is saying and it makes you look ignorant.

They plan on scaling the weekly rewards for doing trials to VR16 in the next DLC patch. This DOES NOT mean you need to purchase the next DLC to get this. Just like with every single DLC they have released, they make changes to the base game that you don not need to pay for.

So when the next DLC drops you will be able to do the weekly trial and get VR16 rewards without needing to pay any additional money. Stop freaking out.

I would also like to point out that in a previous response you said "you will now be canceling your subscription" while also saying it's because you don't want to have to pay for new DLC. If you have a sub you don't need to pay for DLC you just get access to it already. So either you are a liar or you don't understand how the sub works.

Awesome news, incentives like rewards for your current level is a great way to get people back to playing that content more. Looking forward to the incentive for using the group finder tool too that was recently discussed and most looking forward to the thieves guild and the trial that comes with it. Thank you ZOS!

you are aware that they did say they weren't looking into lfg for trials right

Nothing changes. Just weekly will scale. Lazy zos "fix"

ESO currently doesn't have proper PvE endgame outside of vMA, which is single. Not that I care, but it's pretty crazy. I'm actually amazed that any MMO can afford to do this and still survive.

• No one considers veteran pledge dungeons end game content?
• Is it the lack of large scale (more than 4 people) content that is getting all this hate to what seems to be relatively positive responses from the Devs?

OP hates that the rewards are "useless" (i disagree but nvm that) so you don't have incentive,
then when a DEV specifically tells you there will be rewards for old content, complain that old content is not challenging and Dismiss the new content that is coming, and the existing content. someone is coming of little bit NaCl. so i cant help but agree with everything @ESOFanBoyz said.

There needs to be incentives to buy new content or subscribe, or the game will die. It seems there is no pleasing you no matter how much good news they throw your way. I'd rather you and people with such a mind set quit, than the game die if I'm honest.

I used to play SWTOR and when they released new group content, thay also scaled the existing up to the new tier of everything. So since then I thought this would be automatic in other MMOs too.

The incentives to play the new one would still be there since nobody likes to play the same thing over and over.

But as I said, not my concern.

They've also stated that the Thieves Guild DLC will feature a new 12-man trial so I don't know why people are still complaining.

Zos is busy trying to fix the player created lag in cyrodiil. They can't spare the resources to work on old PVE content.

The game needs a scaling system in both directions, it would solve a metric sh** ton of issues. And open the entire world up for rewarding play again...
