I've loved Elder Scrolls Online ever since 2014 — I even played the beta and everything. The zones, the quests, the entire world are still so good. But there's one thing that’s been holding me back lately: world scaling.
I run through these beautiful zones now and feel like there's no real benefit to exploring them at this moment. I remember back in the day, I'd gather new players to team up and battle world bosses — and they loved it. It was exciting, it brought people together, and honestly, it helped me recruit so many players into the game.
Recently, I tried to recreate that experience. I brought some newer players to a world boss, just like I used to... but the boss died in seconds. Everyone just stood there, confused about what I had been hyping up. It made me realize how much I miss that sense of world magic.
I'm not saying the world needs to be insanely hard — just that there should be a better balance. Something that makes using abilities feel meaningful while leveling, and brings back that feeling of teaming up for epic fights.
I love ESO, and I really hope they find a way to bring that magic back someday. Thanks for coming to my mini rant, lol. What is your opinion everyone?!
