patch has a few group bugs addressed

http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/113161/patch-notes-v1-2-3

looks like they paid some attn to group issues this time.  the one that seemed to be more relevant to the large group issues was:

• Inviting other player characters into a large group who are in a different zone will no longer cause de-syncing issues or disconnects from the game.

also, something i had seen in ralcores poi events:

• Fixed multiple instances where all grouped player characters could not use doors.

and this one kinda made me wonder what would happen in ava when the group leader died:

• Fixed an issue where an event would deactivate for an entire group when the player character that triggered the event died.

but... my favorite (unrelated to groups) was:

• Skeevers are no longer invisible while in their idle animation.

stealth skeevers... scary... ;-)

Lots of great stuff in this patch.... but my favorite and the most unexpected was:

Light Jerkins

• Have updrafts been an issue for you robe wearers? Rejoice, citizens of Tamriel, as you may now craft light jerkins for added comfort and style.

I know many have complained about having to wear a dress as a light armor class. Can't wait to see the styles. I wonder if ESO Fashion was prepared for this update.

That's so funny, the Light Armor news is exactly what I was going to mention! Woohoo, cloth jerkins! I'm manly enough to wear a "robe" but I like to show off my guns :P

I know we had some of the grouping/instance issues last night with Fungal Grotto, sounds like the fix was a day late for us ;)

Just when I was getting used to the wife walking by and muttering "nice dress... Macy's have a sale?"  What's a humble Argonian to do....

My response would have been, "You're just jealous because Wants-Some-Pants rocks this dress better than you."  :)

Believe me, the packs of Vet 10 skeevers in Reaper's March are nothing to be trifled with - even if you can see them.

Sadly, they still did not fix the Malabal Tor quest, Restoring the Silvenar which I have abandoned no less than 7 times in attempts to get it to work (let alone the many bug reports & talks with customer service which has yet to achieve anything).

Didn't sound like they did much to the class powers.

I guess we'll see.

That is after I finish downloading the extremely slow patch!!

The most important group fix:

Inviting other player characters into a large group who are in a different zone will no longer cause de-syncing issues or disconnects from the game.

I guess that means those auto-invite addons will be worth using now.  :D

Just a follow-up to the Jerkin addition as it was asked in raidcall last night. Below is the post from the forums answering the question....
