    Well, to be clear from my own point of view, forced-solo play in optional MMO side-quests is silly.

    Forced-solo quests in main-story MMO quests is unforgivable.

    Really, forced-anything (solo or grouping) in an MMO is just stupid.

    Agreed...while I don't share your disdain for the forced soloing in main line (being almost strictly a solo player myself), I can certainly understand how others would find it ridiculous in a mmo. What I DO have a problem with (for obvious reasons being a solo player) is the forced grouping from v10- v12. Why developers in the current mmo market do not seem to want to support both playstyles is beyond me.

    I understand what you mean. Was just answering a question as to have any others done it.

    Understood.

    Sent in another email request to ZeniMax today to request a co-op toggle for currently forced-solo instances. Hoping for a reply (other than the generic one) of some kind, even if its telling me to pound sand.

    I'm with you, I'm totally fed up with all the threads complaining of complainers.

    I'm fed up with the attitude that we shouldn't complain about complainers. If they have a right to complain, then we have a right to complain about their complaints.

    If someone has an issue with the game, defend the game. Don't attack the poster. It just belittles you.

    If the game is great and you can't simply bring up positive counter points, you don't have much to stand on.

    This.

    Blackwidow and Cogo agreed upon something! This is progress, folks!

    I will turn him to the dark side! Muhahahaha!!!!!

    Well, the thing is complainers complain, so any addressing about complaints has to encompass the complainers who make the complaints.

    Now, say it three times fast, and I will not listen to any complaints about it (mostly because this is a written medium).

    I am having a wonderful time with my first MMO. The solo content that's too hard ... ROTFLMFAO. I don't know where you guys come from. I come from shooters and the solo content is just fun.

    Gonna run my V

    I honestly hope they do care and trying their best to fix these issues I just honestly dont think that is what they are doing. This long silence over VR and forced instances show ( me personally) that they just do not care and do not plan on fixing issues.

    Next time you don't realize what the issue is maybe have experience outside of ESO then come back with a valid argument please ;)

    Gonna run my Vampire DK through Manimarco's little level 20 test. This will be fun, the adds will be ... used, My Vampires never get fed, they throw nothing, even slightly tasty, away.

    You sir must be here to troll or you would realize you have no mmorpg experience. Now if you did you would see what a horror filled disaster this launch was and you could see how little the developers seem to care.

    Yes but we might also imagine that what you are complaining about aka VR and forced solo instance don't need to be fixed . Why? Because the dev want it to be the way it is .I mean VR zone could already have been nerfed instead they give you a death recap and try to improve it.So that may mean that they want to keep the difficulty the way it is...We don't have number but also you seem to forget that it is possible that there s more people that like it than some who don't ...I am actually very happy with VR content for now . Even if I m not in the majority in the forum that doesn't mean I m not in the game .

    Im not going to be an apologist or make excuses for ZOS. I have always been a very firm critic of BS moves and decisions in the past, regardless of who the company or game has been.

    ZOS had been developing this game for years, and its no excuse that they had "never done one before" as there is plenty of data out there to figure out what works and what does not.

    They are too focused right now on what they want to roll out next, and not focused at all on post dated stuff that has needed attention since beta.

    Yeah sure they fix a few things, but its always minor stuff that doesnt affect most peoples gameplay. The really big stuff is perpetually ignored or halfassed.

    Unfortunately ZOS is going to have to learn this lesson the hard way. Functionality is always a thousand times more important than flashiness.

    @GreySix‌

    Ya know, I think this is the first MMO that has forced solo content. If I'm wrong then someone should provide an example.

    The Secret World did it.

    LoTRO too, although they later changed their ways and eliminated most of it. I think SWToR did too.
  • jbroin1619_ESO
    @GreySix‌ Point taken about your wife! buying 2 copies of the game only to have 1 person not be able to complete that content would frustrate me also! and ... keeping the wife playing and interested is a job all on its own and to have the game add in added frustration would suck :)


    still, it is just a small part of the game .. and maybe just help during those very brief moments of the couple hard fights ... then again .. some women are independent and if you have to help .. it just isn't worth it .. good luck and I don't envy you on this point lol

    @Aureli They are already forcing people to overlevel the main quest, so I don't see what the issue is?
    I hate that they do this.I am finally up to level 43,but the main storyline keeps throwing me into level 50 quests.Personally,I think that when you enter into a main story quest ,it should automatically be your level,or one above you.Same with the items dropped or given as rewards.If they can tell what level you are playing,they sure can level your quests accordingly. I am speaking about the main storyline,of course. If you enter an area that has all higher level quests and creatures,enter at your own risk.
    (Having said that,this was the way I got to such a good level so quick. Following along with other players,and fighting with them as we went.)

    The game really does have so much potential but instead of just pumping out dye stations and a justice system coming soon they really need to fix all the crap that's broken! I love the game so much but am fine ding it harder and harder to log on because now I'm being hit by the memory leak again after patch and now my stamina and magicka skills are costing me double, some times triple the cost because of some bug which makes even a simple 1v1 PvE encounter take forever because I need to regular attack for 3/4 of the fight! I chose to play the AD and have a sense of loyalty for my faction and felt burned when my VR content involves regurgitating the other factions quest lines and fighting against my own people!
    Please ESO listen for a little while and see what's wrong, it's in black and white written on your forums from the people who play the game and pay the sub fees to keep it going. Give us some real VR content that plays with our alliance, don't make all the quest and dungeons in Cyrodill group centric, some of us don't like PvP and don't want to waste hours searching for a group, and please on top of everything else, fix the bugs and really read the feedback the players are sending to you! I don't want a justice system or a Dark Brotherhood/Thieves guild story line when there is so much broken already. I want what I pay for to work properly, I know it's not going to happen over night but I think there would be a lot less complaining and grief from the player base if we actually saw the issues being fixed instead of the generic " We are aware of the issue and are working on a fix."
