New player question: how to group?

Hauztein · July 2015

I enter cyrodiil as solo player, and i get quests, explore etc as solo player... How i group up to a big teams to do things? Other mmos group automaticaly on entering AvA zones.

Its good to mention that i dont have a guild, dont speak on mic and have no interest in make friends, im the kind of player that its 36yo, have two baby daughters sleeping, and i like to enter the game, play my stuff and log out... But i eould like to enter a group and help the alliance. As solo i cannot even see where my alliance mates are.

What I usually do is spam the "Would you like to join a group?" emoticon where there are lots of players gathered. Sometimes groups will gather round each other like in front of a friendly fort or something while they wait for everyone to get ready before heading out, so sometimes I'll go up and ask and the leader will invite me.

I wouldn't try forming your own group, it's too much bother especially if you have no mic, like myself. The groups who are already formed are usually guild members but will often let randoms join as cannon fodder. It is a good idea though just so you know where your allies are and you're not bumbling around the map like an idiot for a good ten minutes.

Its odd, you need Rank 5 if you want to use it, even it doesnt tell you it. I was once a leader of a raid and I tried to use Group Finder and it told me that all players needs to be Rank 5 or above. I hope they remove this kind of group finder and put hireable NPCs instead, a recuiter center, where NPCs stand put by raid/group/guild leaders and other people talk with them in order to join a raid, guild leaders could put some details what they plan to do, zerg, capture keeps, gank etc. That would be social place, people would chat with voice chat etc before heading to battle. Also higher your rank, more members you could get in your raid, so thats reward for Cyrodil ranks.

The grouping system on consoles sounds comical. I don't envy you guys.

Get on voice chat and go around begging people to group and yelling maybe, they need a better grouping systems
