Impossible to actually read any dungeon quests

[Watchmaker]

Who tf designed this so you can even state I'm trying to understand why I'm doing what I'm doing in a quest and it's my first time doing it - when someone can forcefully teleport you which falls under the toxic category.

Let me take a wild guess: dungeon finder? Those are random groups and they almost always speed-run dungeons. It's also why I almost never use the dungeon finder. This is not so much the game's fault as the other players in the group who are farming gear or knocking out a daily or something and they just want to get it done so they can move on to something else. I think a "lore run" grouping would be a very useful feature, but until ZOS does something about it, you can make your own group (try guild chat or zone chat in Craglorn). Dungeons are accessible from the overland map, so you can just walk right in the front door.

isnt it you being toxic to farmers for telling them how to play a game ?

oh yeah btw u can solo normal dungs like nothing

[Cursed_Candle]

Well, I just do them without taking the quests if I need an item and need to run the dungeon. I come back afterwards with friends or solo some on my own pace with reading quests and enjoying the environment.

There are even whole guilds dedicated solely to the idea of "story mode" dungeon runs.

Do not attempt to do Dungeon quests using the Dungeon Finder.

Everyone in that system just wants to charge through and not wait for you to read and listen to everything. Their time is just as valuable as yours.

Want to take your time and do dungeon and trial quests at a proper pace? Where you even have time to read Lore books and random fluff? Check the Guild Finder for guilds that promote that style of gameplay.

If you're on EU I highly recommend a guild called "Story Mode." Their default is to run dungeons and trials as a guild so everyone can take their time and enjoy the game at a pace that allows it.

Other similar guilds are available too.

Actually no because the OP is playing the game how the developers intended. Otherwise they(developers) should design for all story content OUTSIDE of the dungeons.

Cyrodil was intended to be great MMO slayer between player factions ....To take castles by force -it was like what ... 500 players per faction ?

Reality is -that Bananas are basically offline raiding at 3AM when no1 plays

and even crueler reality is that PVP players were waiting for server update for like 4 years and got pop cap reduce instead to idk l think its below 100 now

I am able to solo many of the normal base game dungeons on a Templar with destruction and restoration staff. I think any build with sufficient self healing could solo them. I do agree with you though, OP, that the experience in the dungeon finder is absolutely dreadful.

If you are willing to sacrifice the very lucrative XP you get from the daily reward from using it, then I recommend doing dungeons solo or maybe with a friend as you discover them.

There are many ways the game could improve for new player experience for sure though.

this is why i just dont pick up the quest and try to solo them later or do them with a friend

This is the main reason people simply abandon group play ! You can tell from may of the replies too that Toxic players are driving people into refusing to play anything but SOLO ! ... Sad but unless the game is geared more to solo play and less to group poison , then this game is going to slowly disappear !

This guy is delusional and thinks that just because he doesnt like something everyone wont aswell ...

OP -as there were mentions above - if you dislike ppl farming and rushing to main boss ,then l advise as others did - find a group matching your pace or play solo

You can solo most of the stuff in eso including trials(without dps check l think)
(except veteran stuff )

Good luck with your game ,lm out cause this discussion will be swarmed with private accounts full of ppl under 50 hours dictating how the game should be played

This game has other problems that prevents it from becoming more popular.

Speedruns is not one of them. You just have to find a group that wants to do the quests inside. This stuff happens in all MMO's.

[mike_hanna211]

Yep, I got yelled at years ago for *gasp* listening/reading the dialog of a Flashpoint mission in SWTOR. My first time running through it, but everyone else was just speed-running it (as if that matters, it's not a timed event).

The solution is, find like-minded players that play for the story, not the loot (e.g. players like me).

[Ashkorne]

I quit playing a month after I started in 2018 for specifically this reason. I absolutely hated being rushed through quests, especially as they are all 100% fully voiced and interesting.

I came back in around 2020 just to see if anything was different and it was. Night and day.

Far more quality of life systems were added and I found a guild that was based on promoting "Story" over everything.

Suddenly I was able to run every dungeon slowly, talking time to read all the lorebooks and soak in the quests. It was truly reinvigorating.

I have around 2.5k hours in the game now, all on one character.

For that I'll thank my Guildmates. I literally wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you guys.

[PandoraWolfCrow]

me too , Mike hannah i was there in swtor to experienting this kind of stuff about this on. it was so frustrated to can't play and read oe hear all the roleplay. Bcz Basically there are Righthous Roleplaying games. not a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ otherthings of fps or else....that so many people prefers still to do: skip skip skip infinititly
