Grouping

Zebo7 · July 2015

Was looking for a little insight from you folks. I group with a friend in the past we have been able to swap group leader to either one of us. Last time we tried this I was in veteran levels and he was preveteran levels and there was no issue. Last night while we were grouping with both us now in veteran levels the game constantly forced me to be group leader. Is that by design the highest person is group leader? We tried disbanding group, ect about everything you could think of to try and make sure we were not bugged.

Thanks for any input

I think you might have just encountered a bug; any player can be group leader, regardless of level. The grouping system can get pretty glitchy sometimes. For instance, I've been in groups in which no one was designated group leader (no crown icon next to any player's name, no one can pass lead or invite others, etc.). Did you try having your friend invite you to a group? If he starts the group, the game should automatically designate him as the leader. Is it an issue with you passing the lead to him or does the game just refuse to make him leader, even if he was the one who started the group? It can't be related to player level; it must be some sort of bug.

He would send invite, I would accept. I would get a message Group invite accepted, Failed to group". So another route we tried is I started the group. Completely shut down ESO. We were on chat and said crown moved to him. He remained logged in and as soon as I came back into game the crown flipped to me.

Will give it a try again tonight. Normally I wouldn't care which one of us is leader but when two person grouping Undaunted stuff there is a painful difference between V2/V9

Hmm. That's odd. It's probably just a bug, as I've said before. Another thing ZOS needs to fix. Hope it doesn't continue to give you too much trouble.
