If you're not a speed racer, this is the worst event ever.

svendf✭✭✭✭It have been like this for some year´s now. Haven´t attent any event for two year´s or so - the dungeon event was the first I skiped, and now dungeons all together.1 -

I was going to skip this event. I can solo the base game dungeons - well, most of them. It's enough to get my tickets. I also find it difficult being social.
But, I felt like being part of a group so tried twice. Both times, tank raced ahead. I tried to keep up but ended up dying to whatever they pulled.
Back to being a loner again.7 -

✭✭✭I've been enjoying it, but what I've been doing is being a real tank leveling my arcanist. I taunt, I set the pace, other folks follow politely. It's been nice.

I do the same.
I've had some great experiences in dungeons. When you get a group who want to work together, it's pretty much one of the best aspects of the game. I guess this event is not for this.1 -

Mesite✭✭✭✭My dungeons have been much like the last event for the low level dungeons that dungeon finder sent us to. We rush through (I follow, like a good lemming) and then when the dungeon is finished a few of us go back and finish off the other bosses.1

The thing is, I really don't mind racing through - I don't. I just expect someone to maybe say at the beginning, "hey, how about we race through?"
Maybe I'm the problem.3 -

When I get a PUG that is failing because of a speed runner, or folks that aren't doing their role, like 2 fake DPS that together are not doing 10k DPS in a DLC dungeon, one of the other team members will point this out and then quit group. Since I am entering queue with a tank (in tank build) or healer (in healer build), my queue times are not long, so I'm OK when this happens. I'm doing a few PUG per day during this event with my tank and/or my healer, and it has been fun overall, with only a few failures.3 -

If you're playing on pc eu I can recommend you a guild specifically founded for slower-paced dungeon runs if you want. No need to be overboarding social there. More like an improved group finder with optional socializing.Never get between a cat and it's candy!

Overland difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including One Tamriel, an overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver & Gold as a "you think you do but you don't" - tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game. I'm bored of dungeons, I'm bored of trials; make a personal difficulty slider for overland. It's not that hard.4 -

It's great you're having this experience... it really is.
Once, a while back, I tried to initiate a kick from the group for someone who was racing through. The vote failed miserably so I left... hahaha. That's when I realised that I'm on my own

No, you're not the problem. Both sides of the coin have to compromise if this community is ever going to manage to stop being so divisive over literally everything.I'm a speed runner, just because that's how I like to do all of my gaming, plus I don't have a ton of free time to meander through content and would also like to enjoy the rewards of this event. I ALWAYS ask at the beginning "Hi! speed run?". Sometimes people respond with "yes" or "doing quest", and the group adjusts to make sure the quester gets what they need, but most of the time I just get ignored. People need to learn to clearly and respectfully communicate what they want/need, or they forfeit their right to be angry at the outcome.PC/Xbox NA Mindmender|Swashbuckler Supreme|Planes Breaker|Dawnbringer|Godslayer|Immortal Redeemer|Gryphon Heart|Tick-tock Tormentor|Dro-m'Athra Destroyer|Stormproof|Grand Overlord|Grand Mastercrafter|Master Grappler|Tamriel Hero5 -

You are the best kind of speed runner... and I'd be right behind you!!
Communication - exactly!!!2 -
Mesite✭✭✭✭I don't always see the chat. I have it set so it pops up and then disappears. It takes me too long to answer on Xbox without a keyboard.
I usually follow the leader - the one with the crown - even if no one else does.1 -

I get that. I was on XBox for a couple years before I made the move to PC. I even had one of those keyboard thingys and it was still a nightmare to chat.0 -

I'm sorry for that. I've always been too scared to venture into tanking or healing. I think it's a real skill.
I have the utmost respect for healers. A good healer can really make the difference.1 -

That's what I do... I'm ok for tickets so have no right to complain.
It's just, I've had so much fun with groups in the past, and I felt like connecting again.
I just think the event is not meant for this. It's a speed race event.2 -

✭There is a guild finder built into the game, search through the guilds and find a large one that's free or has a weekly fee you're willing to pay. Ask in your guild chat for people to group with to farm dungeons at the pace you want to run.2 -

You're right, they've done absolutely nothing... and they never will.
So many previous posts about a story mode and players speeding through dungeons. Nothing will ever be done.
I'm ok, I can get my tickets. Not so, with players at a lower level. I would happily run through a dungeon with low level players and stop at every NPC and lore book. I remember the wonder of it all.
I wish zos would finally cater to everyone.4 -

I have heard the devs say often..."We make the games we would want to play" that means them not necessarily the largest demographic in the game...they claim to be expanding the companion system more hopefully that means them being functional for more content than just overland...but I won't hold my breath.““Elric knew.
