Group members dont show on compass

Naxaris · June 2015

Everytime i get in a group i can never see my group members on the compass. I can see them on the map but never the compass.

I am currently playing on ps4

Hello, @Naxaris.

Not showing group member pins on the compass is an intentional design decision we made. With a couple of group members it looks okay, but once you have larger groups in Trials or in Cyrodiil, that many pins makes the compass nearly unreadable.

Any chance of having all group members appear on compass become an optional feature? It would be pretty nice in smaller groups.

I would agree with that. There's already an internal feature which separates a "large" group from a "small" group, so a small group's members could always be on the compass, while there could be a toggle for "large" group members. Alternatively, members of a large group could use a different icon - for example, a white dot rather than a chevron (like enemies appear as red dots).

When did this become intentional? It worked the first few months after April 4, then people bugged the heck because it disappeared. I don't remember anyone from ZoS officially saying it disappeared intentionally until you right now..

Why not give US the decision and provide an option to turn it on/off? I find your lack of customer faith disturbing

We'll take another look and discuss the possibility of adding group member pins on the compass sometime in the future. Thanks for all your feedback, and keep it coming!

Please for the love of all there is bring friends/group on compass as an optional feature. It makes it almost painful to find and play with your friends. And many (including myself and all my friends) really only play in small groups. Also, while we are here and along the same lines, having one group member complete an objective really should clear it for all group members that have the quest. It is frustrating to have to backtrack for 10 minutes because your group member didn't talk to a person or interact with an object. Please and thank you.

i agree. it has always worked for me (pretty sure) - randomly, very annoying, either fix it to work or remove it altogether. i would much prefer it on all the time regardless of numbers in group. and as most players (i generalise here) are prolly only involved in small(ish) groups, who cares if theres a bit of clutter - at least i dont have to waste precious time fumbling between map and world to try and locate my groupmates because they are not drawn after about 50 meters out (i can see a lot further than that in game - why do groups mates dissappear?).

I'd say necro, but I'm afraid it's still a relevant question.

sooo, how's this going? is it a feature yet?

CaptainBeerDude · June 2017

You can see the chevron through walls. So try not to wander too far from each other.

Ehrlichcoleb14_ESO · August 2017

Is there an addon that can accomplish this?

We are closing this thread since it's been necro'd from 2014. You are welcome to start a new thread and should post in Add-Ons & UI Mods if you are looking to find an add-on.
