When are changes to group phasing coming please?

Mallius

Hi all, this is my first post and I have seen threads like this one I am starting but everyone gets off topic and starts talking about 2 people instance dungeons.

I want to talk about when our promised change to group phasing is on it's way? The change was promised before the Craglorn update was brought in, but still hasn't arrived and player duos are still being forced to play apart; or be very strict with how they complete quests in order to stay in phase. God forbid that one person played more than the other as they will be split apart for evermore by quest phases in towns and quest areas and turned in to floating grey indicators, as lovely as the indicators are I much prefer to see my friend there instead

Has anyone got any answers or any information that I am missing? Or is there any developers that can reassure us we (duo and group players) haven't been forgotten about please?? We merely want to be able to play with our friends without it becoming a huge operation just to stay in the same phase as each other. It's almost just a single player game at the moment, for me atleast anyway! I see other people around and often help them but can't ever quest with my own friends because they can be often one or two quest phases ahead of me and vice versa.

I don't think that this fix is a big ask as every single MMORPG since the 90's has managed to be able to have group play that functions absolutely fine.... so why doesn't this game have it yet and why isn't it a number one priority to fix?

they arnt . and dont care.. they are far more concerned about class balances atm.... if they dont fix those they will lose their player base

Hmmm I do hope you're wrong but I fear you are probably right in my opinion though my enjoyment of the game is being hindered far more by group phasing faults than by getting killed a lot in pvp and being unbalanced

Maybe I'm just old fashioned in thinking that mmorpgs should be a social arena where grouping with people habitually is encouraged

There was a road map about that the other day. It appears to be very low priority as it was the last upcoming update that they mentioned. 2-3 months.

I must have missed that... Don't you think it should be a bit higher in priority list though or am I just old fashioned?

It should be a very high priority. Those parts don't even have warnings on them.. you can get there with a group of your friends and then no one can enter unless everyone has the quest, uncompleted, up to that same exact point. I could care less what nooblets running between the Anoms are doing, if that is being given immediate attention so should the phasing requirements in the group content.

It's not the worst thing in the world, but I would love to get ahold of who sets priorities for each day and explain the basics of gaming to them. Other than that ZOS, keep up the good work but just re-evaluate priorities. ---- Although who knows, maybe we will see it with this maintenance going on now? Or maybe not.... I guess we'll see.

I'm glad someone is thinking the same as me! yes I really hope that we do see some improvements soon

It should be done something about it sooner rather then later.
