I really don't see how the main story is more lore-friendly than other questlines. Care to elaborate?getty.adam_ESO wrote: »See, I like the main storyline set to solo, mainly because it's really the only place in the game where they really put their foot down on keeping it lore-friendly.
You're the Vestige. It's you're job. Not Vestige +1.
(I'm of course excluding the obligatory NPCs which accompany you at various points.)
I see. Well, I don't particularly care about being the chosen one, I think a team effort is more fun and rewarding, but that's just me. They did go with the Vestige story, I suppose it's reasonable to stick to it, but I'm sure they could have come up with an immersive way of letting you bring a friend (not necessarily an army of them). I'm fine with flying solo, but I expected a multiplayer game to give me an option to group if I want to.
The whole E immersion thing goes out the window the 10th time you die and get to come back or the 3rd time you have to decide who to kill for the amulet to work. They could have had that really cool cinematic that blows him up be the end of it ,have one or all the surviving companions come with you, have you pick one, or a myriad of other options that don’t include a player getting so frustrated that he quits the game.

When an NPC says that you're the only one who can save the world... well, yeah, you are. Not you and a buddy. You don't arrive at the end to save the village; along with seventeen other people. It's just you, being awesome.
my conclusion: this game is not for the average player who seeks a relaxing time after a day of (real life) work so as to wind down and have some fun.
If that ONE thing is critical to unlocking the rest of the game then what else are they going to do?BrassRazoo wrote: »The simple fact is that some people will just get left behind due to these circumstances.
An this is only Malog Bal.
In VR stuff some of the Main Story Line endings are just as hard in not harder and they are also solo.
Basically not everyone is going to be able to complete them, simple as that.
This means players will either quit or get left behind until they let it be done in pairs or group.
If ESO is going to "appeal to the masses" this will have to change.
Not everyone is as skilled and can complete this situations, that still does not mean they should be left languishing at level 50 forever.
Perhaps enable 1 friend and half the XP or something, with no XP to the invited friend.
Something needs to change for people who just love TES and want to be apart of this MMO.
Solo is just not going to cut it.
Erhm, I was with you half way there, until you claim people will quit just because they can not complete 1 thing out of thousands.
I just read the rest of the Thread and Im actually to furious to answer to anyone in particular.
Lets just say, people like the ones in this thread are the reason why every single mmo in the last couple of years is getting easier and easier.
Really, ESO for instance is pretty easy, be it the soloquest, the open world or the veterandungeons. And still people cry that its too hard like a bunch of [snip].
I think Im gonna puke now.......

Which is it?
I think it more likely they will further nerf Mannimarco and Molag than provide a grouping function. One would be much easier to implement code wise than the other I imagine.

You're going "to furious"? Not "too furious", perhaps?
The solochallenges are soooooo few. Its like 0,1% of the whole content. I really dont see the issue of having to fight alone this few times.Anyway, I'll take a hard game, this, is just broken. And saying, "no you can't have any fun with your friends until you face tank these three bosses," is just stupid. What is this? Homework? I thought I was paying $15 a month for an MMO, not a sub-par version of Skyrim.
I and others do.The solochallenges are soooooo few. Its like 0,1% of the whole content. I really dont see the issue of having to fight alone this few times.

OP or me? Well, it applies to either, so...
Neither.
But you really weren't paying attention anyway.

Yeah, it's the way it is and all that - got it. We're requesting a change. Have you heard of an MMO that's never been modified due to player input ... ever? I'm all ears, friend.demonlkojipub19_ESO wrote: »Bottom line is people have to make yourself capable of handling the solo-only fights in the game, and I really doubt they will be making these fights easier because people don't want to equip the appropriate skills.
It would be nice - even reasonable, and in fact many of us are requesting it -the grouping of two where currently disallowed that is. Frankly, if they persist on denying it, they'll lose quite a few subscribers.demonlkojipub19_ESO wrote: »It would be nice if they weren't solo only.
