Tamriel for You and Your Friends!
In The Elder Scrolls Online you will be able to roam the continent of Tamriel together with your friends for the first time since the release of the popular role-playing series. The developers are currently showing you why a community, such as in the form of a guild, can be beneficial in the latest video. One of the declared goals of the game makers is to not only offer great group content but also to actively encourage TESO players to engage in group play through compelling moments of tension. This is absolutely understandable, as one must not forget that there is a huge fanbase for the TESO series, and some players may not have belonged to the MMO crowd until now. *waves at those addressed with a smile* 😉
The Group Teleport
A very nice feature introduced in the video is the ability to “teleport” directly to another group member. In this case, I can let it slip that I had the chance to test this nice option in the beta and I’ve come to appreciate it right away. Indeed, Tamriel is just as beautifully confusing and vast as you know it from games like Skyrim or Morrowind. This means that it can happen that friends may quickly lose sight of each other while playing AND exploring together. While this might annoy some MMO gamers, it is part of the charm of the TES series for me. But to avoid it getting out of hand and to have distant group members quickly at hand, you can, as mentioned, teleport directly to your group members by magic. OK, to some extent, this charm inevitably gets somewhat lost, but I think that is manageable. Or how do you see such options?
