How often do you play with others?

Greg11jkalfa

How often do you group up with other players? Be it for dungeons, trials, battlegrounds, quests, etc.

Just to be clear, I'm not asking how often you simply interact with others, rather how often you actually play with them.

VaranisArano

Regularly in PVP, since I prefer to play in organized groups.

Rarely in PVE, unless I'm running pledges or leveling alts through the Daily Random Dungeon.

AcadianPaladin

Almost never.

Rarely. And when I do group, it is generally a duo with a specific friend.

I'm primarily a soloist stuck in a multiplayer game until a massive scale open world medieval fantasy single player game of quality presents itself. Oblivion and Skyrim are good games but, after a few years in each, they are simply too small.

leeux

A good amount.

Mostly once a week... also, those are probably the only times I logon lately.

Tandor

Almost never.

Formal groups? Hardly ever, and only then if invited at a world boss.

Informal groups? I always play cooperatively at dolmens, in delves, and with world bosses. One of my favorite ways of completing a delve, for example, is to run through it with another player who's there at the same time, each alternating with the trash mobs so we're leap-frogging each other through to the boss which we then tackle together.

pdebie64b16_ESO

Almost never.

Only in trials/veteran dungeons because i cant solo them, for the rest i prever to solo including PvP.

pod88kk

All the time.

Every day, I don't think I'd be able to play alone now. I've made great friends who I talk to on a daily basis. It's the community that makes this game great. The people I play with are genuinely there for me if I need them & I'm always there for them.

phairdon

Almost never.

Outside of Cyrodiil, rarely.

Turelus

A good amount.

Unless I am doing some quests, dailies or farming on my own I normally always am in a group with friends playing.

Hippie4927

Almost never.

When my friends still played, I grouped daily. But my friends quit playing so now it is rare that I group. I won't use dungeon finder and only occasionally group with people from my guild.

SirAndy

Almost never.

I'm mostly harmless solo ...

oxygen_thief

Not at all.

forever alone

Sylvermynx

Almost never.

Um.... you mean in the way of a Tayledras mating circle? Well.... that might get me banned.... *joke*

I'm much more interested in why OP showed up here not so long ago, claiming many hours on all classes, and posting all these.... polls and other questions.

So yeah - my conspiracy theorist self wants to know if this is someone from Beth posting "anonymously".

max_only

Almost never.

Only when I absolutely have to for leveling Undaunted.

However that is slowly changing to “a good amount” because I actually like running in my guild for big events.

DanteYoda

Not at all.

Never.. I just avoid the social content like PvP, dungeons etc completely. If i want to be with others i'll chat in guild.

I very much dislike dealing with other peoples ***.

Tannus15

All the time.

Vet trials Wednesday and Sunday with progression guild
Normal trials Thrusday with my social guild
PvP Friday with the same social guild

Monday is maintenance night
Tuesday is for hitting DLC HM's with whichever friends are available.

Thankfully I'm only backup for my other trials group on their Saturday run.

AcadianPaladin

Almost never.

I note with some satisfaction that solo players are a very significant part of the player base. I do think we often get forgotten about when considering balance and new content. How many times have we heard a dismissive "This is an MMO; if you don't wanna group just go play Skyrim!" If we did exactly that, would the game survive the dramatic drop in playerbase? I suspect not.

I'm not suggesting ESO overly cater to solo players. After all, we do have single player games to go to if things get too bad which is an option that those who enjoy the social interactions of grouping and PvP do not have. I'm simply asking to not be overlooked or dismissed in balance/content decisions.

Been there done that (not in this game - in another, and for YEARS). I don't need a job, thanks. I'm happily retired for the third time, and this time for good.

Gatviper

A good amount.

Sometimes. Group Finder for Undaunted dailies on vet is such a case, or like doing Dragonstar Arena today with some of the guildies on Normal, for the honest reason that I simply couldn't pass on the 7th round 2 bosses soloing despite many tries, and just wanted to get that achievement. Most things can be done solo in ESO, and seeing as you can meet all kinds of people, from very nice to very obnoxious, I'm not always in the mood for experimenting with that.
Always liking the freedom to be able to choose whom you like to play together with.

Well... kinda like...

That pretty much sums it up ...

Almost never.

My son and I play about once per week

Red_Feather

A good amount.

Every session I do some group. Today I grabbed all guild dailies and did some with pick up groups along the way.

Rygonix

A good amount.

In Cyrodiil I typically play as a solo healer. I play as a dedicated healer for my friends on a regular basis.

Yeah, the last time i put this much time and effort into a MMO it was Ultima Online :P

mayasunrising

Almost never.

My poll answer was for PvE. For pvp i'd say I group 50% of the time.

Tasear

All the time.

I prefer doing something with others. But I do like that the game allows you solo freedom, cause sometimes I run away from people.

Abigail

Not at all.

Never.

Complete unmitigated fear of letting my team down.

RedRook

A good amount.

Probably half of my playtime, but mostly for things that require it: BGs, 4 man dungeons.

LeHarrt91

A good amount.

During the week, im mostly solo. Weekends are when i run trials and dungeons.

ProfessorKittyhawk

A good amount.

Usually with a friend. But lately I've been doing stuff with a couple guilds I'm in. Not just for the event either. Finally got a build for a character I'm confident in and have been doing dungeons and trials. It's fun.
