And devs wonder why folk prefer to run around solo!
Just had the most ridiculous attempt at grouping to do a quest I have ever had endure in my 13 years of playing MMOs. It is totally ridiculous.
Trying yo group up for a quest in a dungeon, first problem. I invite another guildie, another wants to join, I can't invite because I am not leader, the group has NO LEADER.
Disband group and remake, got 3 people, enter instance, only me there -- the others are -- well god knows where.
We all come out and decide to travel to other players, this respawns us in ebonheart, we can see each other for the first time!!
We travel back to the dungeon, as we get to the island, one of us disappears (turns invisible), move away from the island can see them again. WTF
We enter the dungeon anyway, me first, I am group leader. Again, we are not in the same instance, all in different instances. WTH Map shows team mates close by, ingame markers show them god knows where, we can't see each other that's for sure.
WE GAVE THE HELL UP
And DEVS wonder why the hell players want to run around solo, when you have to go through all that crap to get a group going and then STILL FAIL. A good 30 to 45 mins wasted messing around trying to make a group.
Its absolutely ridiculous, and a total joke.
Grouping should be QUICK and EASY to do, not this farce.

JeffKnight✭✭✭I agree with this. So far, the most frustrating thing has been trying to get groups working during pve content.
Next most frustrating thing.... crashes in Cyrodiil...0 -
ivan.ilic460b16_ESOSoul ShrivenI had always the feeling they should have left PvE a solo thing, just like all TES games and PvP a group thing.0

DreadedXSoul ShrivenThe amount of relogs and reload ui I have had to do because of this is just ridiculous. I do sympathize with you.0 -
Agreed. Instances are not working correct in a lot of places like dungeons and what not. I'm forced to try a lot of things solo even though a friend and I are in the same instance. Plus but loads of lag in ravenspire(spelling)0

WhiteQueen✭✭✭Also, from what I've seen, group killing reduces xp gain. Even when not technically IN a group.0 -
Maestro_Sartori✭✭✭You do realize that alot of these quests are solo only....
which also proves your point in another way...Edited by Maestro_Sartori on April 6, 2014 5:07PM0
