Hi have a question in eso early days, questing with friends wasnt very practical most if not all the quest didnt share progress and you couldnt help a friend catch up or get past a difficult part youve already finished becuz of phasing.. my question is, is this still a huge issue in PVE?

    You can even marry your friend with that Mara thing and both of you will get increased XP bonuses. Haaa!

    @Valn How does it handle it though? Do you just get ported into an instance of the quest of the leader, or the person least progressed in it?

    Solo instances are still solo and every time I tried sharing a quest as a group leader my friend never gets the quest. Also if you're in a group doing a quest where you have to collect X amount of things, everyone has to collect their own which is a dumb design.

    Yeah. But be aware: There are certain quest-lines that can bug out if youre in a group. it is probably not intended, but I know two of the TG-quests bugs out, a couple in Greenshade, one or two in Grahtwood. That's all I've noticed so far, anyway. But it's probably more.

    Questing in regular zones are just meh because of this very same issues. (Tho, they did fix the phasing bug)
    But questing is much better in the DLCs zones, Craglorn and in Cyrodill because this old issues doesn't apply there.

    Yea and I forgot to mention that if you're in a group with more then 2 people (you + 1) then you earn less XP. I think the XP decreases for every member over 2 but I'm not 100% certain of that.

    Yeah. I confirm that. This is one of the most dull and lame designs ever. They are totally punishing you for grouping, which is the main reason why we play a MMORPG.

    so pretty much every incentive not to group with friends, why call it an mmorpg then? more like ES game with a chat room. the only pve content outside dungeons i like seeing ppl are dolmens, rest of the time i avoid them, fight them for quest/crafting resource's or im cursing them. they need to adopt a gw2 method or something.

    Thanks for confirming.

    I was penalized for playing with 2 real life friends so I ended up leaving the group and tagging along solo so we all got proper XP...we weren't having any luck sharing quests beyond activating them at the same time so it wasn't much of a difference.

    Whilst I agree that questing whilst leveling with a group is not very practical........

    I have to say imo when at max level the best times I have are whilst in groups, be that 4 man dungeons, 12 man trials, Molag Bal raids in IC, general group play in Cyrodiil, even completing Craglorn.

    So much so that I have not got around to finishing ANY of the DLC's quest wise except for the IC quests which I did in a group anyway!! :)
