A walking "run" of Fungal Grotto....

Saturday, at 12:00 noon EST... We will be conducting a Group Dungeon "run" using the "walk" function to go through Fungal Grotto. IIRC, it is in Stonefalls... This will be a great opportunity to soak up the beautiful environment provided by ZOS. Players will also get the opportunity to bask in the accolades of the Goblin-folk after their oppressive king is slain...

No "Rushins" need apply....

    You should begin in your starter zone(s) and avoid all methods of fast travel to arrive at the front door, as well.
    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    Earn it.

    IRL'ing for a while for assorted reasons, in forum, and in game.
    I am neither warm, nor fuzzy...

    I plan to fast-travel to a wayshrine in Stonefalls and enter the Fungal Grotto "manually" (sans fast travel...) if that's what you mean...

    Any other alternative would mean on missing out on all the content between the starter area and the dungeon entrance. My assumption is that this is how the group would get to the front door. Anyone directly porting into the dungeon is clearly a "rushin" and has no place in this group.

    Fungal Grotto in 3D is spectacular!

    You have to switch to 1st person to really be able to soak in the details, the ceiling is a big part of what makes that dungeon so gorgeous.

    Then maybe we should start with breakfast, so people don't miss out on anything before they turn on their computer...
    It's pretty easy to figure out that people's consumption of content prior to the event is their own business...
    Nonetheless, we will have the "Fungal Grotto" walk on Saturday, May 12 at noon EST....

    That would add a nice roleplay element to the event. Everyone gathers up in Stonefalls to a breakfast of sweetrolls and fishy sticks. Then the party ventures forth together. Out of curiosity, will you have voice communications for the party group? Or just the standard text chat?

    Of course it is. But that won't stop OP from hating on them for no valid reason.

    From my experience, they're usually pushy jerks.

    This would be more relevant for the newer dungeons. but an good idea, especially if you have an alt who has not done quest.

    We did pretty much this that is not walking but took our time in guild run in Scalecaller as pugs tended to put you on the plague boss. I had to drop quest twice to get it all.

    Note that its an guided tour around elden root there an Bosmer guides an group of Altmer and Khajiit around.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    So far I note one sign up (the OP), as I'm guessing @Danksta 's was sarcasm.

    The good news is if no one else joins, OP can bask in its glory 4x as long (longer, if you count all the deaths).

    Did you ever stop and listen to them? Most entertaining, I found. :)

    Not sure if that was sarcasm or not but Fungal Grotto is probably the easiest of all group dungeons to solo, both on normal and vet.

    Nobody has to die in there, even when you walk it solo ...

    Sometimes I Speed Run. Sometime I walk through slowly.
    Sometimes I go solo. Sometimes I go with a group.
    Sometimes it’s on normal. Sometimes it’s on Vet.

    .... what tf does that make me? :neutral: I just play the game and have common courtesy. It sucks to think that people will hate on you for no other reason than you deciding to use your sprint button at times.

    The good news is I said rushins needn't come... SEE??? I'm saying something now... so if that's your idea of fun I wish you luck in running as fast as you can through life... But stop whining about no content if you don't appreciate what you have....

    If this is a LEGITIMATE group request/advertisement (and not merely an excuse to bash speed runners — as it seems to be), then General Discussion is not the appropriate subforum. You want this subforum: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/categories/LFG

    I was merely acceding to other's request that I "say something" at the beginning of a dungeon...

    "And here, to your left, we have the native tribe of Goblins. They've been here in the Grotto for generations, yet at Vila Theran's request, we are here to wipe them out. Along the way, we shall examine primitive goblin-made cages, re-enact the primal battle-ritual of the goblins by cutting off their chief's head and planting it on a spike, and study the amazing symbiosis between fungus, crabs, and dreugh in this cave system that allows the dreugh within to grow to enormous sizes."
    ...
    "Be especially careful on the waterfall, as anyone slipping and falling into the river will immediately be expelled from our mission for attempting to avoid the dreugh broodmother and the giant crab."
    ...
    "Whad'ya mean, Vila Theran, we have to leave?! We opened this cave up for you and your little cult of Mephala worshippers and we're going to stay as long as we like and look at whatever we darned well please!"


    Small wonder Vila Theran and Gamyne Bandu are none too happy to see the group again in Fungal Grotto II.
