So, you don't want ESO's Overland to be
0:02
easy anymore. Well, challenge difficulty
0:05
is on the way. This new system lets you
0:08
scale the difficulty of Overland and
0:10
questing content however you want, with
0:12
higher difficulties rewarding more gold
0:15
and more experience for your troubles.
0:17
If you're a newer player, adventurer
0:19
difficulty keeps things nice and
0:21
relaxed, so you can quest, explore, and
0:24
not get folded by a random wolf on the
0:26
side of the road. Then you've got
0:28
seasoned, which adds a little more
0:30
pressure, and is probably the sweet spot
0:32
for most solo players wanting a little
0:34
extra challenge. After that comes master
0:37
difficulty, and this is where things
0:39
start to get serious. You can't just
0:41
stand in red circles anymore. Heavy
0:43
attacks actually begin to hurt, and if
0:45
your healing slips for a few moments,
0:47
you're probably going to die. And then,
0:50
there's Vestige difficulty. This mode
0:53
gives enemies up to 600% more damage,
0:57
which basically means even world bosses
0:59
in Rivenspire suddenly think they're
1:01
trial bosses. Dolmens become chaos.
1:04
Packs of enemies are actually dangerous
1:06
again, and I have been one-shot more
1:08
times in the last hour than I have in
1:10
the past 5 years. But honestly, it's
1:12
kind of brilliant, especially in groups,
1:15
where suddenly having an actual tank in
1:17
Overland content starts to become a
1:19
possibility. So, get your resistances
1:21
buffed, your potions ready, and prepare
1:24
to suffer, because challenge difficulty
1:26
is coming in update 50. Thank you to
1:29
Bethesda for sponsoring this video.
