Why Every ESO Player NEEDS To Run Veteran Maelstrom Arena

- I completed Flawless Conqueror last week and wanted to talk about my thoughts and experiences with Veteran Maelstrom Arena and what a fantastic resource I think it is for players looking to break out of the casual meta.

I tried it on veteran once and it broke me mentally, physically, and sexually.
👀👀👀
I checked out your channel because you were recommended by Arttea. She did not steer me wrong. Love your content. Look forward to more vids and seeing your channel grow.
I think that's where most of my viewers come from, she's been an enormous help in getting eyes on the channel. I really appreciate the support from everyone who watches and I'll keep working on improving my editing as I learn.
She's helped me make a lot of gold!
@@GregCoffin Shes a legend!
Me too!
Haven’t heard of her channel I’m gonna have to check it out
congrats on going through it yourself! and no death!
i enjoyed the structure of the video, it's nicely edited and your deadpan humor is 👌
personally, i've been wanting to do vma for awhile now but kept coming up with excuses to not do it because i know how much time i'll sink into it.
why though is for the same feeling you got in the end: confidence. it'd be nice knowing every time i wanna complete vet content that i would be able to do it, even if it is hard at first i would be able to learn and push my build to be what i need it to be.
another incentive... all the pretty dyes are in vet content...
You sound like you were exactly where I was which is why I think you should absolutely go for it! I disregarded builds with maelstrom weaps/monster sets and just got alternatives, told myself I didnt need them to clear the content I wanted to do, but I've been having so much more fun since I started trying the content I thought I'd never do. If I can do it I know you can!
6:52 lol! Nice video idea, sera! I dare to say the same about pvp, I had a very similar journey with it. And still learning. From desperatly pressing the keys trying to land a kill using a pve build in CP Imperial City, to creating now my own balanced build, and fighting with the sweaty guys.
PVP is on my list to tackle one day, that's still a total mystery to me when I do random BGs but something I definitely want to do at some point. Thanks for watching!
@@OldSaltySean1 oh that's nice to know! If I may, I would like to point you to Deltia's Gaming channel, he has a lot of beginner friendly guides, after there you will slowly start meeting the community and growing on pvp : )
@@bovrar2nd861 I'll keep that in mind, thanks!
Thank you. I am one of the players you described almost to a T. And I wanted to reinforce your description of dungeon experiences. I was lvl 700 or so and still a noob with dungeon content and could not figure out how to complete the quest at the end of one. A lvl 2100 player stayed and walked me through it when they realized what was happening. This is the normal in ESO from my experience. GG thank you.
I had a feeling that was pretty common. Thanks for watching!
I was one of the casual players who never attempted vet solo arenas, i just didn't think i was capable of completing them at all. A friend of mine gave me some advice and I managed to get flawless conqueror and spirit slayer within a few tries. Since then I've been running nearly all vet content in the game and have never had so much fun. Everyone should give it a chance
Sounds like we had similar experiences which I'm very glad to hear about! Thanks for watching!
That initial skit was hilarious! Loving the channel bro
Thank you! I'll take any excuse to get more Scott Steiner on the channel
Thank you, I'll try this as well. Wouldn't have know of this without your guide. All the best and ty again
Go for it and let me know how it goes! Thanks for watching!
Awesome Video... I just started Maelstrom 2 days ago... Trying to get into vet trails so working on my play style.. This video was just what I needed to hear
Glad to hear it! And good luck!
Yep, I'm one of those players that expects to never clear VMA... Or any vet trial or vDLC content. xD But not because I don't want to... Thank you for the encouragement. :)
Thanks again for helping in the video! And I know you can clear any content you want to and I'm happy to help in any way I can!
I don't know about VMA but dlc vet dungeons I hexes great several they're not bad
Something that can help you start out is looking into some builds with some starting gear setups (like mechanical acuity and hunting rage if you are stam, for instance). Everyone starts somewhere, and it doesn't hurt to port in and try VMA to see how much you can clear!
I can't get past the frozen rink cause am slow to kill the troll that pops to break ur ice u stand on but I might try once I get oaken soul mythic
@@MrVavant If you interrupt him when hes breaking the ice there's no DPS check in that fight, it's actually better to take that fight as slow as possible so you have time to maneuver the boss, keep at it and you can get it =)
VMA is a good training ground, I used certain World Bosses for the same purpose. It is a good means of learning your character.
Great idea, thanks for watching!
I’ve played since beta. On my second account now. I was just like you in knowledge about the game until I dived into vet dungeons. Then I dived down the theory crafting rabbit hole. That’s deep. My newest hybrid builds and oakensoul/orders wrath magplar give me the confidence to clear any content. A good test I use is craglorn group delves and quests. They aren’t scaled and still have the original dps checks. Really enjoy your vids. Cheers.
Good to know about craglorn, did not know that! Thanks for watching!
My first VMA made me confident af, now doing Vet trials hardmode etc it def inspired me
Love to hear it!
I enjoyed your video and the editing in this one! Grats on the flawless vma run. Also I hope at this point in time your getting them trifectas now and not just hm. 😉
We've gotten a couple! Thanks for watching!
Another great point is that VMA saves your progress per arena. So you can pick up where you left off
So glad I subbed today!! Going through all your vids now… I’m over Champion 500 and have never even taken the undaunted invite 😅. I do the regular daily dungeon and love it though! I find it challenging enough and have that fear I’d be letting the team down in harder content
Dont be! You can do it!
@@OldSaltySean1 guess I’ll have to find that old undaunted invite 😅
Just stumbled upon this channel, intro was an old TNA clip so I’m sold 😂 love that you have a lore based dark elf character! My next toon I plan on being a member of house dagoth pre war of the first council. Good content bro! New fan! P.S you read me like a book, I came from Skyrim this to this day is my first and only MMO, I played when it dropped in late 15/16 and never made it to the first DLC and now I came back a couple months ago and am absolutely lost lol
I'll do anything to rep some Scott Steiner on the channel lol! Thanks for the kind words! And yeah a loooot has changed since then!
First of all - great video, solid content and i hope you quickly get popularity !Few tips from a vet player to newer players: Don't stop moving, clear the adds(especially on arena 5) - do not rush on nuking the boss, if you're going for a flawless run and you die at lets say arena 7, just finish the run, you're close to the end so get your weapon anyway and most importantly do not copy paste alcast builds, yep hes a great content creator and knows the game inside out but hes missing some stuff. Don't use 2h on the mainbar if you have a class spammable since 9/10 times its better than the 2h spammable. Yes you get the shield from brawler/carve but in wardens case you can use healing skill on light attacks with bird spammable and use dw for crit.
Great advice!
Nice advice but that shield helps avoid health depletion from venom dmg on the lizard boss arena with the venom archers you pop your shield then quickly run to the cleanse pool healing alone will not help without that brawler skill just sayin
This was a super great video! Im almost 1000 cp and almost 1000 hours and am at a very similar place only just starting endgame stuff. although my vMA run sounds like it was a little more painful than yours (partially my fault though cause i knew i needed to change some things but was stubborn and just pushed through - but wouldnt have learnt what needed to change if i hadnt tried) but it was pretty amazing to finally get done after like 500 deaths and now im kinda gunning for more endgame content and have learnt alot about stats that are important and skills buffs etc. And am making a number of builds to suit. Your recommendation to try this stuff is so true!
So glad to hear that!
Great encouragement! You ALMOST convinced me ;)
Haha I believe in youuuuu!
Brother, I cannot stress how glad I am I found this video. I’m 1400cp and years ago used to do my daily randoms in veteran difficulty, but along the way, introducing friends to the game, I started playing only regular level content and lost all the confidence I once had. Now coming back to the game I’m terrified of doing vet content, even though I basically have every meta set outside trial sets. I’m gunna run vma a ton over the next few days as I look to find that confidence to get back into the veteran level and trial content. Appreciate it ✊🏼
Really glad it helped, you got this!
Dang, 1:20 hit hard. Perfect description of what I do :) and I am 1100 CP. Great video, it really nailed Exactly how I feel. Really enjoying your content and really appreciate the encouragement!!
Whoops UA-cam never told me about this comment but glad it helped and thanks for watching!
Congrats. And I agree, more than once I’ve offered in my social guild to run vets with people who never have. It’s never been a issue, not once, not even dlc one’s. And people appreciate it. If your someone in the do all the content camp, offer, it’s worth your time to increase the skill cap and size of the community.
Agreed and glad you're doing that for people! Thanks for watching!
As an AMA, I am addicted to the craziest 5 piece bonuses on sets. I am currently running Defiler and Mad Tinkerer and it is chaos when the Hunger and verminous fabricant are running around 🤣🤣🤣. Just wondered if you had a particularly crazy one or a favorite :)
Whoops UA-cam didnt tell me about this comment but I'll definitely feature it in a future video!
great content, happy to come across
Thanks for watching! I'll try to continue to make more!
Love the vibe, dude! +1
Amazing video, thanks :)
Thanks for watching!
Very well done and funny video. I think I will test out VMA and see if I can clear it try 1.
Sounds good my dude! You got it!
okay, "the medical term for my condition..." made me spit-take. Thanks for the laugh, and thanks for the reminder I have a toon 1/2 way through vMA (rink of frozen blood), and I need to finish before U35 drops!
Yeah would definitely recommend getting it knocked out before next week's update! Thanks for watching!
I started doing base game veteran dungeons solo recently, I think it's really helped me improve, I'll have to try VMA next. I admit I want that flawless conqueror.
You can do it!
@@OldSaltySean1 Thank you!
Great great video mate I must ask what is the armour your are wearing looks great
Full Telvanni medium my dude, thanks for watching!
I had one issue with VMA during the Vault of Umbrage, if you have tips activated, do no interrupt the boss... I repeat, do not interrupt the freaking boss like the tooltip suggests! XD
I had a guild mate go through that same issue! No idea why it suggests that 🤷♂️
@@OldSaltySean1 Because its a rite of passage.
Wow! How do you not have for subscribers? Totally following you for more content.
Thanks! New channel so reaching an audience organically is hard but I appreciate your support and will continue to put out content =)
@@OldSaltySean1 you showed up in my recommended videos so something is working!
@@CL-un4ci Love to hear it! Didnt think this video was getting much attention but that seems to be changing today =)
Great vid, funny too
Thank you so much!
1:38 that one hurt a little🥲🤣
Praying for all you Cyrodiil bois 🙏
Vateshran Hollows is actually an even better test of your ability to follow mechanics and perform quick reactions and learning everything that vMA does. Just better and less waves of boring ads
It's important to note though, that what you use and build for in solo content like vMA and vVH are not really how you'll build in a Trial Group. But the way you do things in them does directly help and improve your ability to do group content
@@nelson_rebel3907 For sure, I actually heal in trials and group content but my solo build and my dps build are also very different. Thanks for watching!
@@OldSaltySean1 Great video! Hope to see more related to the solo content. ESO lacks in more of it. Thanks for replying
I honestly think vma is harder. Vvh is just latency xD terrible
Just did vMA last night. 19 deaths. Most of which were because of the poison mushroom things and the bosses enraged scream in the Vault of Umbrage Learning the mechanics is key. After that it's very doable.
I got stuck on Vault of Umbrage but prior to that I died in the Frozen Rink or whatever it’s called, to the giant, twenty-some times, idk I quit counting. Even after looking up exactly what to do I found it borderline impossible to not be on the island when the matron jumped and receiving an insta-death. Started just running like a madman to island after island after just a few seconds and eventually was on a different one than she jumped on. Shit was mad stressful.
I finally quit after an hour or two with the mushrooms, but I’ll be back.
3:11 that’s so wild because most dungeons can be solo’d on normal. Even some of the DLC dungeons can be solo’d on normal. I think VMA is harder than some dungeons.
GV!!
Thanks!
Tried VMA yesterday was able to finish it in 1hour and 45mins the last boss took soo long but im happy i was able to down it first time on vet and got my lightning staff :D
Love to hear it!
Neat content.
One thing about solo arenas is that they actually easier when you build a bit tankier than what you do for trials/dungeons. Some mix between PvP duel build and PvE build, ~26-27k HP range, and not only focus on damage, but also on healing.
Lots of players like to run them with Pale order, but I'd say it's easiest to run with Gaze of Sithis - because no mechanics in both Maelstrom and Vateshan doesn't require you to block.
Great points!
Tbh I find the opposite true. A lot of challenging content in ESO gets easier when you do more damage. You can just skip half the mechanics, or all of them sometimes. Offense is the best defense.
@@inspirer4763 Also true
Someone help me here. I make, Sub Assault, Carve/Brawler, Fetcher Infection/Swarm, Bull Netch, Stampede, Cutting Dive, Vigor and the bear ult. What are 3 & 5 front bar and 4 back bar? Really would like to try a Stamden variation of my current Warden. Any help appreciated.
Am a 50 yo guy that kept away from Vet content for reasons you articulated but had a couple of weeks off work and started running Maelstrom on normal. By Friday of last week I went in to Vet and cleared it with a number of deaths and by Tuesday I had flawless. Love it. On to Vateshan?
Let's goooo, love to hear it!
'Fellow filthy casuals...' ok ya got me!
One of us
Do u have a charter build video for ur chater encluding the style of your outfit , if not I'd love to something like that
The outfit style is full Telvanni medium! Might do a build video at some point in the future!
Great Video, really gave me the push I needed to try out these solo challenges. Also really like the armor at 1:20, does anyone know what it is called?
Hell yeah glad to hear it. As for the outfit it's the oblivion explorer garb and head wrap. You get one piece from going to Fargrave for the first time in the Deadlands DLC and another for finishing the Deadlands main quest.
This is perfect. I've been around since launch and I've always told people that VMA will force you to 'get good'.
Definitely seems the case! Thanks for watching!
@@OldSaltySean1 You explained it well. Forces you to manage resources, be aware of mechanics, and keep yourself alive all while keeping damage up.
The nemesis of VMA - it is Vault of Umbrage.
Definitely the gatekeeper!
I second Lucky Ghost's video, it's very informative and is how I got past vMA. How if I could figure out how he does so much more damage than me...
100% right on this love the video !!! Whats ur guild i would love to do some runs with u guys 😊
I'm unfortunately not playing right now, but really glad you liked it!
As a None-MMO player, ESO (&Swtor) have become my new favorite games. I've played them since they released with very little skill, using hack & slash abilities to beat them several times.
Veteran and other difficult activates in these games are very difficult for players that primarily play action adventure games on a console.
I try to explain mechanics, skills, & classes to friends, and they seem disinterested in playing for very long. I remember being confused at first that I had to chose between being a DPS, Tank, & Healer. Why can't I just get the best armor & weapon, and heal myself like in Skyrim? Why would I choose to use this one ability, that only increases another ability for five seconds, when it only increases it by 3%?
If either of these games weren't Star Wars or Elder Scrolls, I wouldn't have played them. But we never got sequels to those games....
But we are getting Beyond Skyrim & the Skiblivion & Skywind remakes!
After years of just playing the storylines, with generic purple armor & weapons, using just the specific weapon abilities, I upgraded to a DPS/Tank that could solo World Bosses and even survive few mobs in Dungeons. In the end, I was still doing absolutely nothing when it came to PVP or Veteran content.
I had to go back to using those weird class attacks & abilities. Luckily, I've been logging in every day, and grinding to unlock everything I could for several years now.
I followed a few guides to create a pure stamina build, and I found I can survive against really tough enemies & mobs that I had no chance against before!
I'm just now stepping into Veteran waters, and although I still die here and there, I find I'm gaining more ground every day.
My goal is to be able to Solo Dungeons, and eventually, finally, become Emperor of Cyrodiil!
problem with eso is it lacks any real tutorial system basically 90% of knowledge is gained through experience and other players. Ive gone through 1700CP on my character on EU took me to around 800CP to beat vMA i had some friends help me through base game vet dungeons and some DLC ones with hardmodes but even then there were a couple out of reach of me still. Vet Fang Lair still gives me nightmares along with veteran Scalecaller peak and vet Blackrose prison which i still havent done. Hell only recent did vet Dragonstar arena.
I decided to start a fresh on NA starting with absolutely nothing except for the knowledge and experience of 1700CP under my belt and things have just been much more efficient. I knew exactly what i needed to do first. I knew to deconstruct everything and research everything i picked up. I knew to upgrade my mount everyday and run random normal dungeons. Hell i had never even done a crafting rit before on PC EU XD only just unlocked that achievement recently. I complete vMA at 167CP and flawless at 240CP. thing i would not believe to be possible when i was 600CP on EU.
Now im nearly 600CP on NA combined with the 1700 on EU i guess ive put a decent amount of time into the game and still loving every minute of it. a little late to the comments on this video but congrats on the Flawless, great video, you earned yourself a sub
Thank you! I actually touched on that in my rant about update 35. The lack of a tutorial is incredibly frustrating as I don't feel like any of the in game mechanics are inherently difficult but the reason Joe Schmoe in a pick up group hits garbage numbers isn't because he's bad but because he doesn't know everything he's capable of in the game. Thanks for the comment and the sub!
And there's a z player I came on for 6 months got plague doc and necro set up,I used a 1 pet bar build. completed measltrom on vet got the staff and that's it,I don't have the people to play with and I find player ignore if you want to run a dun to farm that's why I don't really play.
"Me trying to find who asked." OMEGALUL
Your opening had me dying 😂
Thanks my dude, didnt know how people would react to the rare Scott Steiner ESO crossover 😂
@@OldSaltySean1 I could relate to your opening. That’s the instance I got stuck in until I finally beat it! Then like you said in your video, I ran it again and again until I got The Flawless Conqueror.
@@crossfitnerd1085 Love to hear it!
Now i really want to name next toon, DumDum MonkeyBrain
Apes together, strong
LMAO the Scott Steiner intro
I'll take any excuse to get Big Papa Pump into a video
@@OldSaltySean1 ESO and Pro Wrestling = my worlds are colliding and I love it. :D
I've only completed normal one, and cannot do this for the vet, maybe try with a different character & build?
It's more mechanics heavy than anything, really have to learn the ins and outs of each boss and floor and understand that messing it up is likely an instant death in almost any scenario. Builds can definitely help but understanding the mechanics is the most important part. Keep at it, you can do it!
Thanks just got my first clear
Love to hear it!
just wanted to come back here and say this vid made me try the arena and it took me 3 weeks to get to the final boss and still haven’t beat him but it will happen
It will! Dont give up! Hes not the hardest of the bosses so if you got to him you can definitely beat him! Just takes knowing his mechanics!
@@OldSaltySean1 i just completed vet maelstrom and i gotta say i’d never even done it or tried as hard as i did if i didn’t watch this, thanks for the motivation!
@@joshuaq7074 Let's goooooo!!!! Absolutely love to hear that! Congrats my dude!
I've been on the last boss for days after blasting through every other VMA no death. Idk if it's controller, ps4 servers or what but it's just literally impossible. 28k health and getting melted with literally nothing in sight hitting me. Circling Crem guards also doesn't work on ps4. It's a shit show but I'm glad I realized that I just don't like this games combat in any shape or form. It feels horrible even though I love everything else about the game. The combat is worse than any other mainstream mmo imo
"Good luck hitting me behind 8 seconds of server lag"
Thank you for triggering my cyro ptsd.
Good video tho.
Haha I heard Cyro got better, is it true? I still haven't gotten into Cyro pvp
@@OldSaltySean1 I give it a try every weekend and some nights but when the servers are truly alive the lag is unbearable; a mix of lag and desync. Very nasty.
You can give it a try at bg's or Imperial city, those have no problems with lag.
@@nadierelevante Yeah I've been BGing which has been very fun but sounds like they haven't fixed Cyro enough so I'm still gonna avoid like the plague lol. Thanks for letting me know!
Out of interest what was your latency doing these VMA clears?
I dont know off the top of my head but I know people have been complaining about latency since the newest dungeon update but I haven't run into issues.
Tho cann i call it a day when i just done that on veteran over 5 times? i have PTSD with this place...
Dont push yourself if you're not having fun! I just wanted to make sure people weren't afraid to try it =)
As a stam warden, imma need your build good sir
I know its cliche but again I never expected to win my first time in so I was just rocking a general solo build by Alcast =)
alcasthq.com/eso-solo-stamina-warden-build-pve/
Where u stand on trails being a solo friendly player? And now we have group finder I’m 1500 cp and never even tried a trail as I’m a solo player
I moved on to vet after having the exact fear you mention. Now I wouldn't do normal- its just way too easy. Been putting off vMA and vVH for too long and decided it was high time I started. Just finished vMA first attempt but with unexpected hic-ups on stages I thought were going to be easy- maybe over confident. But as Xynode says everything in ESO is All About The Mechanics! Check out his site there are some pretty well thought out up to date builds that perform well whatever content you enjoy. For anyone hanging back on any content just go for it after all what's the worst that can happen? Some sweaty gets annoyed? F em' lol have fun and go smash vet content.
100% agree my dude, thanks for watching!
Awesome video. I've never completed but have tried. I suck and have not hone back. And my name is Sean, too. Lol
Hey if I can do it I know you can, never give up! Thanks for watching!
@@OldSaltySean1 thank you so much for the optimistic outlook. I'll post here when i complete (on normal that is)
Soling vet DLC dungeons etc is the end-game FYI =) That and PvP.
So I've heard, thanks for watching!
I was also pretty casual. but at spme point I wanted to get good at carrying my friends who are new to the game.
so I was forced to start running veteran to get better gear. and I ended up loving VMA
That's what I love to hear!
That's a nice house you have there, Ossa Acentium? Showcase? XD
Thanks! It's on the to-do list once it's done, got one last room and the outside to finish up but I will def do a showcase at some point =)
@@OldSaltySean1 haha looking forward to it XD
How do you set Maelstrom to veteran? I've ran this on normal several times and I know I'm ready for vet.
Open the party menu (P on keyboard) and in the upper right corner it should say default dungeon type or something similar, change it from normal to veteran
@@OldSaltySean1 I found it ty
ah yes, i remember my first vma back at 2016
I consume about 100+ soul gem
First time is definitely a nightmare lol
Yeah I am in that group. Although I have only been playing for about 5 months and still not sure how things work. Slowly getting them ironed out. Not sure if I am high enough CP (470) to even attempt VMA but I like a good challenge ( I need the Great Sword for my DK) I enjoy dungeon content and would like to get into Vets eventually. I am PC/NA if anyone out there wants to teach an old dog new tricks, I welcome it ! Great video and almost spit my coffee out at "My medical condition is called, Dumb Dumb Monkey Brain" Sub and Like great video and monotone explanation !
Happy it helped my dude, and yeah you should be good to go try Maelstrom! CP 300ish can do pretty much all the content in the game. Hope you enjoy it =)
MA is tiring for my hands and NBs are not really suited to it. I have a templar healer I use for reg MA but my hand hurt and VMA will be worse. Hilariously I have no issues doing base game vet stuff sometimes even solo... :)
Yeah the leap in difficulty between base game veteran content and DLC veteran content is pretty wild (I talked about it in my recent video on ESO's difficulty). Thanks for watching!
Stupidly, I dont have a deathless run of VMA. But i have Spirit Slayered Vateshran on like 9 or 10 different builds. Vateshran is waaaay more fun to me than VMA, but teaches you slightly different things (without quite as much of the bs from the poison arena)
It's on my list to check out! A lot of people have said its sick
@@OldSaltySean1 oh its super worth it. Vet vateshran is a blast!
What do you consider as been toxic?
Dont totally understand the question, could you phrase it differently?
VMA is (mostly) fair, expect for the poison level! That place is full of bad memories lol
I rarely get mad playing ESO but that level, that level changes you.
If this is about vMA, I’d love to know your experience with DSA, VH, and/or EA 😂
I've finished all of them and did the trifecta for VH. I haven't played in an age but I really enjoy all of them!
I discover that my damage is good but i suck ass in environmental hazards
Damage is the hard part! You can definitely learn the environmental half!
I've been stuck on the last boss on the last arena on VET. Idk why...those damn skulls 💀 get me every time! I have been trying on and off for months! IT'S JUST THE LAST GUY... I HATE HIM!
You can do it! The last fight seems insanely chaotic but if you stay calm hes not so bad. The only huge threat is the daedroths, the fire breath is nasty and stays on you if you dont kill them. His skull projectile is a pain (I get hit by it in the video after I'd already done it a dozen times, so it definitely can sneak up on you, but stay calm and you can do it =)
Time for Vateshran Hollows? :P
That's next on the list for me! Some friends just started playing again so we're doing group content currently but I will be doing it as some point soon.
vMA does a great job at teaching mechanics even more so than vVH, in vVH you can ignore 50% of mechanics through sheer damage.
vVH is still on my list to try out so I can't comment but I agree that vMA was a great teacher for end game!
Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaalty
Hey das me 👁 👄 👁
F*****g poison level. It always lags for me. The screen is not green until I die lol. All good.
It's always such a nightmare lmao
My bad for spamming comments but the more and more I get into the video the more you describe my EXACT mindset. Especially about dungeons and letting people down. I literally have 0 friends that play this game and always have had social anxiety so I don’t even try to make friends on here. I hope to find a friend group of people willing to teach and not expect me to be knowledgeable of 5 years worth of sets and skills. I’m CP 400 but still haven’t even completed half of the DLCs and I’ve never even stepped into an arena or vet dungeon. I just now barely started PvP.
No worries my dude, and the community is generally pretty accepting! Just definitely check in with a guild finder guild if you're looking to get into harder content, random PUGs can be a dice roll, but a lot of guild people are super patient in my experience and willing to teach whatever!
I literally just want the resto drop I'm so bad at this game
If I can do it you can too, just make sure you do your research and dont take it too seriously =)
@@OldSaltySean1 I just finished a run... It took me 4 hours. I died many times... I got the ice staff so I guess I'm doing it again but I do have a better understanding of the mechs.
@@vossboss220 It's only difficult until you know how. Like I said in the video since you know you can complete it you can do it without dying, just takes practice =)
I used the play the game for 3 years. I never completed VMA.. and i completed trials, making them feel like a breeze.
Regular trials are pretty easy, veteran ones are where the actual mechanics come in from my understanding.
@@OldSaltySean1 i mean vet ones. I stopped playing the game since Morrowind. I just keep getting ESO related videos, on my feed. Debating whether or not i should return.
@@tribaldefender473 I'm a pretty biased person to ask but I say yes 😂
These are some really good perspectives. I think that really is the best suggestion to "get gud" at the game. Learn to do vMA.
It's a great teacher!
You are so right iv found players 1000 plus cp who don't even wear gearsets. When I asked y they say it's because they get kicked out of group or just don't wanna fail because of others that I also thou was kinda sad. Unfortunately ESO is a very toxic game lol.
Are you on console or PC by chance? Seems like the more toxic community is on console, but I've had pretty good community on pc
@@OldSaltySean1 console lol. I have meet good people on eso but just what iv see is unfortunately toxic. Just the other day I was running random vet Daley's this kinda new player cp 300 was getting hate from the group because he's dps Was low he agreed an apologised he just wanted to run for the hm set they replayed by saying get good an kicked him lol. I ended up finding the poor guy an help him out but yeh I see it alot
@@k1blitz350 Sucks to hear that, wish the console community was better but glad to hear you helped him
bro'... I'm still new to ESO (about 1.5-2 yrs or so, on and off) and I don't do dungeons, almost never, so I'm one of those guys in the casual category... why I don't do dungeons? 'cause it's grinding and I don't like grinding... to me just fishing or roaming around is fun enough to log in for a bit...
clearing hard content means being competitive, which is the opposite of casual playing game style...
Hey dude, whatever you enjoy! Not telling you how to enjoy your time! As long as you're having fun!
Veteran is a lot more unforgiving especially in dlc dungeons. Definitely in the newest dungeons, the bosses are a lot more challenging. You'll see more players baby raging or giving up in pugs.

Damn... Only 17 deaths.... 😂 I must have died 50 times my first time
Yeah but you DID IT THO 🙌
I still die doing normal maelstrom. Aint no way I'm trying veteran
No worries lol, it's a jump up for sure

This is soooo funny because I was literally just struggling sooo hard to try to figure how to beat this son of a b*tch too 😂😂😂😂😂 omg
I stopped doing dungeons for a while because of toxic experts that expected random dungeon people to be experts too.
Sorry to hear that, my experiences were very different but I knew it wouldn't apply to everyone. Try and find some like minded people in Guild finder who are more open to newer dungeoneers if you're still interested in the content.
I recently picked up eso for solo content like this after being sick and giving up being the only one prepared in group content in other games, been in so many guilds where people just have zero clue on how to play and are unwilling to learn. The problem isn't that they are scared but can't be bothered to learn and want things hand fed to them.
I'll admit I can go hard when someone messes up but apologize and take the time to explain what they are doing wrong (or give a tl;dr) if they are clueless, even then half the time they don't take notice and will just complain.
Maybe ESO is different but most MMO player are the type to not think about what they are doing and let guides carry them, so pushing more people to do things like this is a good call.
That's been closer to my experience with other MMOs as well. Thanks for watching!
Vateshran has more of a challenge imo and is more fun.
That's what I've heard, its next on my list and I'm looking forward to it!
@@OldSaltySean1 The mechanics are more complicated but it's less rng and bs. It's also shorter, so in general i enjoy vvh waaaaaay more than vma
@@10PKOR24Sounds good, looking forward to it when I get some free time!
Eh tried Maelstrom once, not doing it again,got stuck on the third area and couldnt progess at all. Guess veteran content really is not for everyone in eso
Fair enough, just glad you tried it. Thanks for watching!
