Ye this is rly an issue. I always ask if ppl can wait pls. But sometimes ppl just ignore that or they dont understand because they dont speak English (which is not that rare with french or russian ppl - no offence!! its just a fact, again: i am fine with russian & french ppl, just mentioning a language barrier!)

I will wait if I know someone is on the quest but it has never made sense to me why they have the short kick timer once the dungeon is completed. Its brevity doesn't just affect those running quests but players like myself who would take the time to go back farm the dungeon once we are done. I'd also like to get some time to really look at everything as well. If it is a system resource issue then set the timer to say 20 minutes after the run is complete to give players some time regardless of their reason.

Considering that ZOS payed someone to write the dialogue, and payed someone to voice act it, you'd think they would offer the opportunity to enjoy it.

I'll always hang back if someone asks. It's a matter of respect and courtesy.

If you don't explicitly mention at the beginning or end that you need more time, people won't hang back.

I don't understand those that even when asked, leave. We were all new players once and that should always be respected.

Regardless, it shouldn't even have to be an issue! Why can't ZOS take the time to implement a story mode?

I can understand maybe they don't want too many instances where the dungeon is completed, as that probably makes longer queue times when no dungeon is available.

However, an extension of that time out is necessary.

I don't even know the story for almost all of the dungeons because I have always had to skip dialogue to keep up, and I'm someone who's been doing it for years.

A story mode has been asked for so many times over the years, but always ignored, not even a slight remark from ZOS on the issue.

I don't even know if it's worth asking, they do not listen.

But anyway, you raise a good point that's been raised a lot. Remember to ask and most of the player base will be nice enough to wait. I hope when you're a high level advanced PvE player, you'll hang back for others too.

And yet if you solo group dungeon you can linger there all you want,so why on earth this system even needs to kick player who stays in dungeon after the group disperse.Shouldn’t be more than just small slider change for ZOS to avoid this.

I hate when people actual do give me enough time the whole dungeon, but then at the very end I thank everybody for their patience and leave the instance before talking to the last NPC.

Thanks op. I didn't realise me leaving at end of dungeon could impact on ppl completing quest even though now I can see that issue is quite obvious. ZOS...rather than rely on player politeness which is RNG...set timer to go on when quest is completed.

It's hit or miss sometimes with pugs.

Last night my Alt ran Arx and the group waited patiently to make sure everyone turned in the quest.

Also last night, my Alt queued specifically for Darkshade II to finish a pledge. After 40 minutes the dungeon popped.

The pug decided they didn't want to run the dungeon and i mentioned i needed the pledge and quest from the dungeon. One by one they all left the group and then the dungeon timer kicked me out.

Another 40 minutes in the queue and i was finally able to finish Darkshades II for the pledge and skill point.

Best to communicate with your group and hope for the best. If they don't agree, they'll either boot you or just bail, lol.

I always ask if anyone needs to stay in for a bit for whatever reason then I wait. One guy just wanted to run back through to loot crates and such so I ran with him and did the same LOL. So far when I had a quest to turn in at least one person was nice enough to wait. But yeah the NPCs spouting off FOR-EVER is a problem if no one does wait because you'll be booted before they get done yipping so you can finally turn in the quest

This game took almost five years to implement character swap on the character select screen or search by word feature on the auction house. And when they finally did introduce the feature, they almost threw themselves a party for doing something.... adding something like solo dungeons is more than likely expecting too much.

I've only been playing for 5 months or so, so newish player here. I've only done a few of the dundeon quests but I ended up rushing through all the prompts and dialog because I didn't want to drag the team down (or have people quit the group). I have just started leaving the quests behind and not picking them up,

Having a solo or story mode would be great to get these quests done on your own pace. It would also be nice to have the option to replay the dungeon story if you wanted to go through it again.

I'm not a huge role play guy but they went to a whole lot of trouble to write a story and record VO for these dungeons. They should encourage people to play them and make it as easy as possible for people to do so.
