How often do you PUG vet dungeons?

Megabear · July 2017

Your view on difficulty of vet dungeons should be excluded. For example you may believe that none of the vet dungeons are difficult and run with PUG 95% of the time, then you'd choose the option "Always or nearly every time". Alternatively if you run with a PUG only on easy vet dungeons and run difficult vet dungeons about 75% of the time, your choice would probably be "Around 25% of the time".

Always or nearly every time

So far I've only ran dungeons with PUG's.

PlagueSD · July 2017

Never or nearly never

Most of the PUGs I run normal dungeons with are a pain. There's no way in hell I'm running Vet with a bunch of people that barely know any group/raid mechanics.

Always or nearly every time

getting close to 7000 vet dungeons completed are most of those are pug. i like the randomness and rippin on scrubs.

Skayaq · July 2017

Never or nearly never

I have never pugged a vet dungeon. I have no desire to play with others than those from my guild.

JamieAubrey · July 2017

Everyday for the bonus thingy

I'm a PUG myself to all dungeons so if people are willing to take the time out to help I'll return the favour

I'm a DD so I just JAB FOR LIFE and stay out the red

MrBetadine · July 2017

Always or nearly every time

I only pug non dlc dungeons. For dlc i pug normal mode

Neyane · July 2017

Never or nearly never

I've done it a couple of times but I 100% rather do it with guildies.

Around 75% of the time

There're only 2 remotely fun things left in dungeons (for me) at this point - one is SotH dungeons on vet hm with friends, the other is basically anything else on vet with pugs. Both provide sufficient challenge and often funny stories to share

Non-SotH vet dungeons are mind numbingly boring at this point with a half decent team, your average pug with 10k group dps(not counting mine), a tank who gets one shot on every trash pack while NOT keeping agro and/or a healer with whole one healing/buffing spell(that if you're lucky) can spice it up alright though.

I used to do it a lot in Homestead, but now? A very rare occasion for me. For several reasons.

1) Carrying was much easier in Homestead

Yeah, everyone (me including) already said what they wanted about "balance changes", so here you go

Though to be fair - I never PUGed vet on my Healer, even in Homestead. I only PUG vet as DPS. Find it masochistic to PUG as support role

2) I'm now on tight shedule. I started to actively raid in the end of Homestead, so when I log in, I usually have trial sheduled in half an hour. For now I find trials very fun and am concerned mostly with them. And I can't play ESO 24/7

But when I grow tired of trials - and that is inevitable, you really can't run the same content over and over and over - I actually might go back to PUGing

So for now - nearly never. But in future? Who knows

I can understand where you're coming from but my reaction is completely the opposite.

I went from raiding in EverQuest, to tanking in 5 man group in a 10 man WoW raid that was later nerfed because it was too difficult, etc etc and finally down to ESO easy-mode dungeon experience which I enjoy due to limited time I have. I don't have time to spend inordinate amount of time putting a group together, learning the mechanics, killing trash mobs that are much more difficult than bosses in ESO, then finally beating it (after many wipes) hoping I'll roll higher than others when loot finally appears.

I joined ESO to relax, not tax myself after a long day of work. If I was a student or jobless I'd definitely want more challenge though.

Always or nearly every time

Non-DLC: All the time

DLC: Never

I almost never have bad experiences with PUGs. Almost all non-DLC dungeons are soloable. It's just nice to have 3 other bodies there to draw aggro. They don't actually have to be competent.

leeux · July 2017

Never or nearly never

At most we use the group finder with my guild mates when we need just one slot filled and there's no one online that could fill it.

Pug is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get.

Plus, I dislike playing with the same people every day, it's so boring, where's the fun if everything went smoothly as expected.

Haquor · July 2017

Always or nearly every time

Always and never have an issue since all non dlc ones are easy. Even on hm.

ArchMikem · July 2017

Always or nearly every time

When you play by yourself you're forced into the other option aren't ya?

MattT1988 · July 2017

Never or nearly never

I won't as long as the GF is in its current broken state. More fun running with Guildies anyway.

WuffyCerulei · July 2017

Never or nearly never

If it's a random vet and it ain't a dlc dungeon, I'm fine. But for pledges or achievements, I prefer guildies or friends.

vyndral13preub18_ESO · July 2017

Bring it! I will pug the *** out of you!

Princess_Ciri · July 2017

Never or nearly never

I have friends to do dungeons with. And my friends are all much better players than I have ever come across in pugs. just not worth it.

Apart from RoM, there's no vet dungeon I wouldn't PUG. SotH, WGT etc can be explained to those less experienced (RoM too, but for some reason it takes people longer to understand that one). When I'm key hunting on HM I'll PUG roughly half.

I prefer to PUG for reasons of time. 1 min and we're in a dungeon. In guilds it's all "sure, just let me walk the dog" or "after this quest chain"-"what quest chain?"-"Wrothgar"-"How far are you?"-"Just come through the Friendship Gate".

I like to do around half a dozen dungeons a day, an hour or two, not a dungeon every half a dozen days. So PUGs it is.

Sorry guild, but you know those are true words! I

you really.

Myyth · July 2017

There should be a voting choice of -

"Tried to PUG vets but after so many failed groups not being able to complete them gave up"

Stovahkiin · July 2017

Never or nearly never

Only normals should be pugged imo, and even then you still have problems sometimes

Kiralyn2000 · July 2017

Never or nearly never

Never run a dungeon, norm or vet, pug or premade.

NukeAllTheThings · July 2017

Around half the time

At least 1 per day so I can pick up my healing Willpower bow
