Sharing quests, and helping friends

Theegoliath

Some things that have not been discussed in a while, and no comment from Jessica or any other dev has been made yet about future improvements.

-Not seeing party members on your screen (but you can still see the icon above thier head above). Love the new party leader icon btw!

-Not being able to help kill mobs they are fighting (but you can still see the icon of them moving around, and them telling you they are fighting, and ther up is moving up and down).

-Game says "not connected" but they are right next to you.

-Party finder should have all dungeons below your characters lvl accessable.

The party finder is an option, but shouting in zone chat is easier... I am vr helping my lower lvl friends, at least seeing there dungeon should be an option. If we are able to go into any other dungeon in a zone together, including the pub group dungeon, we should be able to see the four man instanced ones in party tool.

We can understand quests like the main quest line are solo instanaces. Please give us something that gives friends and group mates an idea that whats going on isnt a bug.

For example, if someone is doing a solo quest line, let them not be invited or to even be part of a group. The txt in the top right corner could tell others they are engaging in a solo quest or something. Just a suggestion. To us, it feels point less right now to be in a group if you cant help each other during those quests.

Another suggestion, if they are grouped, at least make their group hp bar say solo quest to lest us know whats going on.

I havnt seen anyone talk about this in weeks on the forums, or even those married couples who voiced the issue at launch. It would be awesome to know that the devs are at least open to considering updates or working on updates for the group quest structure in coming patches.

This happens if you are not in the same phase. You did not start out in the same and switching phases does require a loading screen, so you have to do it explicitly.
The easiest way to match phases is for one to go to the area via wayshrone and others joining him/her via travel to player.

We are aware of the phases, and how they work. Party members will still go "poof" and dissapear in front of us when triggering a solo quest boss mob for example. While the rest of the group stare at there hp bar getting smaller and smaller lol.

Yep, its quite the experience to be cooperatively playing with another, only to find yourself suddenly in a solo-only instance, because ... the other player is using the bathroom?
