Video of a Dark Fissure

This is the first time I've seen one. Anything that adds to the environment I'm all for. Nothing unique about them compared to other games, but still a good addition nonetheless. Agree? Disagree?

    Thanks for sharing that.  I've been in a couple of betas and never ran across one of these.  They look like fun.  The dark anchors are a lot of fun when you don't have a big zerg on them.  I did one with only 6-8 of us and it was challenging but a lot of fun.

    You're welcome. I'm actually surprised to hear that it takes 6-8 folks for a Dark Anchor and that is still challenging. I guess I was expecting it to be for like a group of 4. I guess thats good news :-).

    It's like a devolved, orphan, ancestral, ancient, neothandral babby version of the rifts in RIFT.

    It looks very weak - but then again dark anchors were a major letdown for me too when I realized they only scale up to about 8 people.

    Again IMO PvE is not the focus of ESO - Mass PvP is however, all the shortcomings of PvE are made up in Cyrodiil.

     

     

     

    I would like to see them scale bigger.  I'm not even a big PvEer but it would be cool to have some sort of huge boss come out if you have a lot of people.  Something similar to the trailer they did.

     

    I like this little one man thing as well.  Woud be cool if you had assassins jump out from time to time as well.

    In later levels when people are more spread out you will rarely have overpopulated anchors.

    Okaaaay? Lol. Hate to break it to you but to me and my friends who are primarily PVEers, we felt the opposite and prefer for now at least being out of Cyrodiil and love the PVE areas. To each his own. I'm glad though that the PVP area is a huge success for PVP and PVE, but I don't think PVE was any less of a focus than the PVP area. 

    As far as the dark fissures, I didn't even know they scale, nor did I know the anchors did, so all good to me.

    Didn't Zenimax mention that Dark Fissures are meant to be solo'd and that's the reason they spawn right next to you

     

    Dark Anchors got raised in difficulty apparently that way they weren't soloable anymore

    I've never heard that anchors were meant to be soloed, never.
