    This thread is for Guilds and Groups so I am posting my group question here. I am looking for a list of "group" activities, which will be defined as anything specifically designed for groups such as Control Points or areas with high level mobs that are best encountered with a party. So far I have:
    • Vauban Pass
    • Vertas Pass
    • Eastreach Gap
    • Sanctus Spine
    • Superstition Canyon
    • Spider Queen
    • Pirate Boss
    • Suutak
    • Airship
    • Tartarus
    • The Breach
    • The Rise - mage room
    • Spindelskog
    • Ruined Keep
    • Upper Tears
    • Obsidian Panopticon elven area
    • Jotungrund
    • K'rul Clockwork dragon/K'kongg
    • Northwest Blackblade dragons/Daemons
    • Tenebris Harbor pirates
    • Ulfheim dragon
    • Wynton's Folly (phoenix)
    • South Quel Woods (scarecrow)
    • Seasonal bosses (Pumpkin head, Krampus, Death Bunny, Envy Angel)
    • Lord British's Castle
    • Ravensmoor (Torc'Dawl)
    • Grunvald Shardfall (the 3 dragons)
    • Compendium of Pain and Suffering
    • Well of Aldur
    What am I missing?

    EDIT: I edited in the new places mentioned below.

    Scenes that have the + designation in the tier level are scenes that were designed for groups.

    Even in a group, Suutak's platform is not fun.

    There a few that have defeated the Elem's, ( I am not one of them ) -so for the most part I agree with you, Cora...
    They made them a bit too hard for most all....

    I mean, if you got some sort of idea where you needed to be to get the anti-debuff, it would probably be a challenging fun battle. ESO has a few boss fights where you need to stay in a moving circular area like a spotlight or forcefield to avoid taking huge amounts of environmental damage, and they're super fun. I think if the lightning strikes at Suutak left a VISIBLE field active for a few seconds after each strike, so you could not only see where it was but had a chance to get there before the next strike, it would work.

    What's extra sad is, it was the first time in a long while they tried doing something interesting with boss fights, and they just sort of half-assed it into the game and never came back to it. Chris musta seen something really shiny that day.

    The lightning leaves scorch marks for a couple seconds.

    Hm. Either it needs to last longer, or... maybe I didn't see anything due to having my video settings turned to low? Or both? It's been a while, but my recollection was that it was very difficult to get to/find where you needed to be. Maybe if the buff field lasted until the next strike, with less frequent strikes, it'd work better. There's a solid idea there, but the implementation is awful.

    @Sir.Seggallion i think you missed some of Spinoks wonderful suggestions :) Wyverns will be in Well of Aldur (leathery-winged chaos). Frozen Giant is in Jotungrund.

    i think its fun to note that the two toughest things on this list, at least from my experience, are Suutak's platform and the Frost Giant. i have only been part of one successful Frost Giant run (and many fails) and have never been in a party that conquered Suutak's platform... and not for lack of trying :)

    I thought that scenes with a + where of one Tier level, but would contain e.g. a solitary higher level opponent that can be avoided.

    Yep, that's what I was told when I repeated Anpu's definition of it meaning intended for groups.


    Thank you for reiterating

    not reiterating. a solitary opponent is NOT enough to get a + sign.
