    This patch was supposed to be the "recode"

    If Memory serves a recode of many Things of the game is due to happen this year.
    Doesnt mean something will Change tho since Group finder was supposed to work flawlessly with the Group finder update months ago and yet here we are...

    Right... Hence this and many other posts. If they aren't even acknowledging that BGs are busted how should we expect a fix?

    Yes the first big "improvement" flat out not working sends a really really bad message. I wasnt optimistic when they announced their plans for Fixing stuff, didnt work that well before afterall. And what they did with Group finder just reinforces the pessimistic Outlook.

    Great but why we get the message like that after weeks and not when the problem starts to occurre? Is proper communication such hard task to do, write couple sentences like above before ppl will run out of their patience? Because I know quite a few people that have enough of this bs and lost their patience long time ago

    It may exist, but its not common. No one in my bg guild has seen it (165+ people). Chalk this up to another weird bug in the group finder.

    Just stop playing BGs. It’s just a bunch of sweaty pet Sorcs and one button Templars anyways.

    Everyone go to IC for some real fun. No queue times, no disconnect cool down on queues, no sweaty.

    An old thread I posted in January 2019 with the EXACT same problem as well as one that put you in instantly to wait and queue or not putting you in at all and saying unable to port.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno thanks for actually providing some feedback on this issue however can I ask why this wasn't done before now within the actual BG section of the forum's? Additionally can you confirm that you guy's actually read the BG forum's as they seem to get absolutely no feedback from any of you at all because this and other issue's have been highlighted there time and time again yet you respond to a thread in general?

    This just highlights to me that if you want ZOS to listen then you post in general ... got it 👍

    God, I hope the actually fix is coming. Started a BG match yesterday with (1) 4 person, (1) 3 person and me in a 2-person team. My teammate died once and left 30 seconds into the match. I stayed the lone wolf in a deathmatch against a 3- and 4-man teams. 10 minutes later surprisingly I can last place. Go figure.

    I have a theory about what’s broken.

    There’s one stamsorc Mystikkal on PC-NA that does BGs all the time. Whenever I’m on an alt and see this person, they’re always on a team on 2. Either me and them, or 2 people on an opposing team.

    Could it be that someone’s MMR can go high enough the game expects it to be a fair fight 2v4v4? Maybe, I’m not sure, but I’ve seen it 3 times with the same person.
    Looking for any guildies I used to play with:
    Havoc Warhammer - Alair
    LoC EQ2 - Mayi and Iskiab
    Condemned and Tabula Rasa - Rift - Iskiab
    Or anyone else I used to play games with in guilds I’ve forgotten

    I've been getting a bunch of these games as well. So much for "we've fixed the group finder". Now I am glad I stayed strong and decided against resubbing in my moment of weakness/full inventory.

    No it hasnt. This is a new issue since the queue finder got "fixed". Games prior to this would start without 4 on each team occasionally, sure. But those teams would eventually get a replacement. Players who quit would be replaced as well. Games did NOT start with 2 or even just 1 player on a team (almost ever. Played thousands of games, never saw it personally prior to this)

    The 3 team BGs is a cute idea but I would rather just have 2 teams. Somehow seems easier for them to fill 2 teams appropriately than three. Just redo the maps for 2 teams...

    Yeah, i had this happen to me. I literally just sat and played the esraj the entire time. Luckily I was a NB and anytime the enemy turn to look at me, I just cloaked and ran away. Eventually they decided I wasn't worth it, because they were literally just chasing me without finding me. And eventually one of the enemies decided to play drums and dance with me. So that was fun...

    The three team system is a checks and balance system, ideally. Imagine the following scenario that I see in BGs with only two teams. The scenario is a Team Deathmatch: One team is being absolutely dominated by the other two teams. So much so that the losing team is being pushed back to their spawn and being camped. So that one losing team, decides to wait in their spawn until the other two teams fight enough that they can come back out safely and pick off any remainders.

    Now what happens if there are only two teams in this scenario? I'm sure you can figure it out.
