Grouping bug (PC - NA)

MercTheMage

So currently, @axbom, @ZombieZig and myself are incapable of doing pledges, cause none of us can group...
This isn't a new bug, it was introduced with DB. It got patched maybe a week or 2 before SOTH, then when the DLC dropped and there it was again.
I'd say this is a pretty huge, game breaking bug.

Had issues grouping last night myself, then when it finally allowed us to group after a couple of comments within group chat text stopped working, though I could still chat locally in zone. I couldn't receive or send group chat messages but other chats worked. Wierdness.

It's really annoying tho. I had to switch to an alt, add everyone to a group, have someone else switch to an alt, add said alt to group and pass them lead, switch back to my main, have them add me to the group, kick my alt, other person leaves group with alt and switches back to main, all this just for one measly dungeon run!

Apparently this *should* help until it gets patched (which I believe is Monday)

In a scenario where player A invites player B:

Once B accepts, that player should see the group fine. Player A will see "B joined group, B left group". At that point, A should either log out and back in, or go to another zone to see the proper group.

Does that help?

I hopped in to Wrothgar this afternoon and zone chat was basically everyone trying to farm world bosses negotiating something like the above, very sad

Can't believe I'm saying this on a Friday afternoon, but Monday cannot come soon enough.

@MissBizz Different bug xD
lol the stuff they're referring to there is for when you group and it just doesn't show you as grouped. That's happened too.
But we're incapable of making groups. If we try to invite someone to a group and they accept, it'll say like group invite accepted, then 2 seconds later "failed to join group"
If someone else invites us who doesn't have the bug, it's fine. but they can't make us lead, and if they leave, crown doesn't get assigned to anyone.
It took us 15 minutes just to form a group by switching to alts and inviting another member's main to the group, someone else switching and inviting that person... It's just one huge mess >.<.

I have a different problem with groups since Hist. Sometimes I can't see or type in group chat, and I can't leave the group.

@MercTheMage Oh wow, sorry, I understood the failed to join part as "player joined/player left." That's brutal if you can't create groups
