Okay guys i have to share this.
Todays peasent pledges on xbone EU were Direfrost keep (great dungeon btw), spindle 2 and Cradle of sh**. So i give the activity finder the usual try and end up in cradle on the 2 first occations.
It was as you would expect: alot of blaming all others for poor random group dynamics and disbanden within 10min. Then on my third attempt at the ambiguous groupfinder i find my self in the keep of Direfrost and we breeze through it Ladies and gentlemen!
even with a CP 100something in the low end, right up till the last boss where devil takes hold of our, so far, christian server and we die and die and boom its a frustration disbanden with some unsaveory remarks in chat and fingers pointed at the low cp guy (who did an okay job actualy).
Slightly disharted i try again and struck gold! Not only did i manage to find a group of great players all, but also kind and polite. We pummeled Drodda and whiped the floor with Edward Twilight, congratulating eachother all the while and developing more and more of a comradery in chat.
So we come to the coup de gras, what i surely though would be the end of the road for this the merry band, the shadowy cradle of fat spidermom.
I tell them full disclosure that i have never completed the vet version before (i got kicked at the end last time i made it there, but fairly so. I didn’t provide the nessesary dps back then).
Turns out two of the others had never been able to complete it either, and the fourth had only done it once with personal friends and before our PUG sworn never to try it again:D... we make it surprisingly effortless to the end. we huddle up. Send one of to repair his gear, another to get a beer from the fridge, we reassure eachother that it will probably take alot of tries and there is no reason to leave the group since we could allways do it norm if this didnt work out.
It took us 2 fails.
The third attempt was an utter succes! The “Good job everyone” emotes were spewen out in troves the “cheer” was never ending and the “OMFG dude you saved my ass” was written in all caps dear reader! In the end i finished my first hard vet dungeon with glorious randoms, PUG’ed my way to the ever elusive mask of Veli(dead) made 3 new additions to my friends list and would you look at that my silken ring motif page just sold for 80k
Its in moments like that this game realy shines! All the Best! And prais be to the sometimes, somwhat relliable Activity finder.

✭✭✭✭✭Its great to hear good things about the activity finder. Sometimes those groups where no one has completed the content but everyone is willing to pitch in and make it happen are the best.3 -

✭Awesome. A nice change of pace from the pug horror stories. I really like it when a pug pull together to complete hard content they haven't done before. I find those groups much more rewarding than if you just faceroll through a dungeon.3 -

I agree:) one of the lads hadnt done the Direfrost quest before so we took our time. I myself like to play with attention to story and lore the first time i run through a dungeon which can be hard if the group you run with blazes through. Although i found that most players dont mind if you are a little behind in the clearing of mobs aslong as you type the reason

✭Generally vCoS is pretty easy to pug with 2 requirements:
1. Someone who has completed it before and is familiar with all the mechanics(and by extension explains them to those not familiar)
2. A tank who can survive kiting Dranos around the room on their own to make him eat his clones(alternatively the clones can be chained in, but this method puts the group too close to the center, kiting allows them to huddle by the door till the tank gets back) and who can survive against Velidreth0 -
ZOS_HoldenCommunity RepHi @JakelDK,
Perseverance, triumph, and a good deal of comedy, your story has it all! We're sorry to hear your first couple of attempts didn't really pan out, but it sounds like the 3rd time really is a charm.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us! We're glad to hear you and your group had a good time. We can't wait to hear more stories like this one!
