    Again, as long as you are stage-by-stage together in your quest, it works great.

    One wrong decision, and you're solo again. This is obviously a problem with the grouping system, but NPC companions to work with you aren't too big of a stretch.

He mained a nightlbade when nightblades weren't good, and has never worn a robe. He converted from PC during the console betas, and hasn't regretted it a moment since.

    He'd rank ESO:TU (in it's current state) a 4.8 out of 5, loving the game almost entirely.

    This is an multiplayer game. I should be able to log in, join a dungeon, join a battleground, queue for a dolmen or world boss or delve, teleport in, play for 20 minutes, and not worry about getting kicked, failing to join, having perfect voice coms, or being unable to complete content because someone's lagging behind. Group Finder and matchmaking is broken. Take a note from Destiny and build a system that allows from drop-in/drop-out functionality and quick play.

    I just want to figure out a way to get rid of this ****ing monkey that has been following me around since launch.

    Yes, I deleted the "item". But I guess because I deleted it while the monkey was active, I'm cursed.

    Son of a...

    Yes I LOL'd! I remember your original post on the subject! I can't believe that they haven't fixed that for you yet! Sorry, I still think it's the funniest thing I've heard in this forum!

    @oren74 if you haven't gotten the dwemer spider pet, there may be relief in the future.. you can only have 1 companion pet summoned at a time, so i'd think you would just need to summon a different one to make the monkey go away

    in VR you learn to play your Class ... make it easier = have people not aware of their Class and playing at 40% of their abilities

    I actually agree. The more difficult content does drive those of us who are stubborn or apt to learn into becoming better at our class. That's been my case 100%.

    Sadly, not all players want to be forced to get better to play. I like the more difficult content, personally, but I don't see anything wrong with giving players a handicap.

    This game was supposed to be "play what you want", not "play light+destro/resto or die".
    Also, blocking does almost nothing for those who ain't DK tanks. I, as a DK pyromancer with +10% damage blocked, still take 250-350 dmg PER BLOCKED HIT WHILE ARMOR AND RESISTANCE CAPPED. With 1500 HP pool at that level, it's really bad. This isn't about l2p or tactics, this is about bloated difficulty. Or should we yell at mobs "I have SKILLZ, don't you dare hit me if I block" to see if it works, like you claim it does for you?

    I'd love to have companions just like in SWTOR, but I doubt they would work with the current system.. in swtor they were an integrated part of the game (and pretty important up till the top level flashpoints and operations).. in ESO, and in TES as a whole, companions (permanent in older or temporary in ESO) are generally stupid, weak and stupidly weak..

    this one would love a companion, if not for helping in battle just for the fake social aspect like it would be nice to be able to socialize with a npc in stead of just people. imo they should ask the person who created the companion vilja mod for skyrim and oblivion to make the story, lines, and npc behavior
    feel da powah of da katz!

    The companions have been a "staple" of Elder Scrolls games (I put that word in quotations because it's really only been a feature since Skyrim) because those games are single-player. You want a companion in this game? You have up to 5 guilds and a whole zone of people to ask.

    This game is a MMO

    Tell that the phasing.

    Oh you allready made that Zone? Sorry, your not able to help other Players.

    THIS........is not a MMO!

    I'd like a companion. Preferably one who carries my loot.

    Haven't we discussed that stuff last week?
    No companions, if the AI is not working, like sorc pets and you can't play anymore without your pet, that would be just stupid.
    I was able to hurt a daedric prince, I don't need a pet!
    Warden Main apparently... 7 Wardens currently, otherwise a healer of every class.
    Mostly active in No CP PVP on EU, blaming the buffbot meta in pve.
    I want to feel like I am saving somebodies life, not like I am carrying amunition for them...

    Ooh, companions for a little extra storage space, like horses do. Nice thought!
