This is the official discussion thread for "Meet the Character—Shelaria" blog article.

Few guardians of the Unhallowed Grave are as dutiful or zealous as the Pyre Watch’s Shelaria. Learn about this Redguard warrior in our latest Meet the Character!

Really NOT looking forward to meeting her at all if she's in a dungeon because the other team members will be rushing through and I can't even do any dialog properly.
I've been in dungeons where I've been kicked out of a conversation because someone else finished first and started the fight. Then of course after the fight the conversation is different or not accessible at all.

@ZOS_SarahHecker Question for Mr. Finnigan and the dungeon design team --

Mr. Finnigan, Do you realize a lot of groups just want to rush to the end of a dungeon for their Undaunted Key -- if they even want to do a DLC dungeon at all?
Many players are even trying to separate DLC dungeons from the Random Queue.
When can players get a SOLO STORY MODE so we can properly experience the story in a dungeon?

I would happily pay extra for a story mode

No loot, skill points or xp, just me and the dungeon set to public dungeon difficulty

Spent years searching for guilds that do these runs but every one I’ve found that says they do is a lie. At this point there really is no purpose putting quests in there, just shove some random baddies in and put the skill point and an undaunted key in a chest at the end...

As much as I would love a story mode, and agree with everything else you're saying, I don't believe such a feature would work without any loot and/or xp at all. No skill point seems fair, maybe lower xp and looted gold, and also to miss out on things like monster sets and such special loot (maybe even set pieces overall).

Shelaria reminds me a lot of Isran, another Redguard who's paranoia was proven right in the end but with a real knack for irritating all their allies into not listening to their warnings.

Which is ironic because solo-ing any dungeon is longer and typically harder than going in a full team.
4-man Fungal Grotto 1 might actually be easier than soloing overland.
Solo Fungal Grotto 1 to avoid having to play with idiots gives you only 1/4 of the treasure while doing 4x the work.

Just put a museum board outside each dungeon where you can read the whole stories without fighting the dungeons, then you could spend all the time you want reading everything.

Groups are often barely functional and you want people to find a group that will go at a speed that lets them experience the story?
Stop relying on group content to tell stories. Otherwise they'll never be properly experienced.
