How is co-op (PvE only)

[snowdrop]

We are intersted in playing this PvE, but my impressions of it early in the days were bad: When I was doing missions togeteher in a group with 1-2 friends we were seldom seeing the same things: While my friend saw a person talking, or sun shining, we saw something else, as if we were never included in the mission and every person living in his/her own world. Is this fixed?

QUESTIONS:

a) How exactrly does it work with instancing etc when you do quests together with your friends, in a group of 3 people?

b) Will we all see the same stuff on screen?

c) Is it enough if one of us speaks with an NPC for it to count as if we have all spoken with him, or does everyone have to speak with him on their own? (Same goes for turning in missions)

We really want to play this but have stayed away due to people not recommending it for the above reasons. I know about solo-missions, but I am not adressing those in the above.

You need to be at the same stage of the quest to see the same thing, that's how the game is made and I don't think they'll ever change it because it's the only way they can implement stuff like ghost walking, time traveling etc. without teleporting you to another area in the open world.

Now if you're grouped, and at the same stage of the quest, if you're in the same area you'll get objectives even if you are not the one doing it.

form a group with game tools, then go get a quest and do it together.
