How do I find people to do... ANYTHING?

Khilseith · August 2016

I need to do any of the trials and the two new dungeons that came out and no one responds. I saw people wearing the skins you get from the dungeons the day it came out. But I've been searching for weeks in different sub-forums, group finder, asking around in game, and every possible way I can think of. I can only find people that aren't capable of doing it via their level or gear.
It's just a waist of time walking around getting noting done all day for weeks because I can't seem to find anyone to do one of the things on my list of stuff to do.
It's great for the people that have friends to get things done whenever but what about the people that have no one. The people that tried so hard to do EVERYTHING by themselves just to nearly get to the end and not be able to play it because the friends they did have were too lazy to do end game let alone accomplish anything.
I don't know what to do anymore. I'm tired of getting to end game and not be able to enjoy it because everyone is either a casual or doesn't allow anyone into their circle of friends.
I'm still looking for people so if anyone wants to get something done I'm on Xbox One North America. GT D0VAH QAHNAARIN the O is a zero.

I think text chat is going to be the group finder of the future. Played for a few hours last night and saw a lot of people on there LFGing. Even noticed a few successes in between the action in my own game.

I go from zone to zone and all anyone wants to do are the dailies. I'm all over the place looking for people through voice and text chat and I can't find people to do any end game or new content. I still think there should be a region/server/alliance chat like Warframe has.

My guild wreckage is a Pvp guild but like half of us do the trails and dungeons. We have completed the new dungeons and got our helm and stuff already. So we're competent. I can invite u when I'm off work if you're interested.

I doubt that as there is not (on Console) a channel for such. Considering One Tamriel coming soon will also further seperate people or spread them out, there is a need for a new feature that works consistently. A new group finder with more options and viability. Even with built in sign-up lists that can be adjusted all in-game across factions.

The would be great. I'll have to make a guild space.

Guilds have been the key to effective grouping for a good while now, people have suffered so much with PUGs that they won't group with random players they don't know.

I don't like the idea of scaling EVERYTHING. Levels 1-49 are basically going to be/feel useless. It should be the first 4 areas stay the same and the 5th, coldharbor, and all dlc should be scaled and all alliance.

@DovahQahnaarin
That's pretty much how it is now tho......One Tamriel won't make anything useless it'll give player freedom to do things in any order as well as remove gaps for friends and associates to play together.

If you roll a new character or have existing characters, this makes all content always viable vs circumstancial for limited times.

That's what I like about it but the thought of always being the level of the enemy just makes levels feel so useless. Then again... quests in your alliance might actually be worth doing for XP.

Hi everyone,
Very interested by this post because I have the same problem than DovahQahnaarin, but everywhere, not only the new dungeons but all group dungeons. I have ben waiting hours in Praisin, but no one showed up (European server) my chararcter is now level 38.
Like on the PC, where I played the game before switching to PS4, is the new text chat able to call players in the region for help or to join a group. I would love to know how to do so.
Also, I am playing in French, my native language, where can I find the UK/US name of the places if I want to call others characters to a specific place ?
Thank you
Bruno

But you're not always the level of your enemy you're only scaled so you have a chance.
Go run through parts of DB, TG or Orsinium....it makes it all do able but especially early on, you're not the same level as you're lacking a lot of skills, Passives and such

Without extra CP's it gets really interesting.

Guild finder is completely broken on PS4 so you're forced to use the *new* archaic text chat LFG system.

I'm good on dps that's not what I meant. I just wont be able to do things like one shot bashing a level 10 enemy. Or start a new character and feel progress as I level. It's not really an issue. I'll just kind of miss the level specific areas.
