Here is a little tip for players if you are getting the "a member of your group does not have the DLC" error. We had the same issue after manually forming a group then trying to queue for a random dungeon. What we did was run an easy, specific normal dungeon like Fungal Grotto then once it said activity complete, we stayed in group and in the dungeon until the queue sent us to Spindle (almost immediately, i might add) for a random normal and it worked! People were able to leave the dungeon (one of us remaining behind) to repair, sell, decon what have you, then returned to Spindle and we all got our 101k XP and Undaunted Reward!

Please get this fixed

Group Finder has not worked for me since release, although I must admit that I don't have the discipline to wait more 30 minutes. Even when paired with two others nothing happened in the same time frame. Tonight if we can find a 4th we'll give it the ole college try. This is unacceptable.

Still broken

The dungeon finder worked perfectly to get a group for me today.

The problem is; if someone leaves your group bringing you down to 3 members, you can not search for a replacement or even invite someone manually because it keeps saying the group is full.

Oh please ZOS, roll the lfg tool back to pre-DB status. I mean aside from losing the 15 minute penalty wait period for prematurely abandoning a dungeon group (which no one will miss) all you will need to do is make sure it reads CPs instead of vet ranks. The penalty mechanic was poorly designed anyways.

Yep, still broke. What a surprise.....

ZOS, as a former game programmer I understand there are tons of bugs/features/content/etc. that requires attention. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, and the sleeping bag by the desk.

Due to that experience I usually don't criticize. But it's been two weeks. The group finder isn't a graphical defect or a botched audio player. It's an essential feature that's in practically every single MMO you'd care to name. In spite of a hot fix and a patch, it is still broken. DB should not have dropped with such a defect, and even if pressure was there to force DB out the door something like this should have been a priority one hot fix, or at the very least a hot roll-back to the previous code until a fix could be made. Players would rather have something that's buggy than something that simply doesn't work (or worse, gives the appearance it's working when it isn't).

Random dungeon worked fine today. Waiting time for tank less than 1 second. On my healer 3 seconds. I went for the tri factor with my dps, 10 minutes. 'Woopitydoo' I thought. Volenfell, Gargoyle spawns on the top of cliff and we cant get past this glitch. Close but no Cigar.

Still not working here. Guess I'll have to do some work today instead Let's hope ZOS don't go into making software for self-driving cars in the future

Group finder tells us that someone in our group doesn't have the dlcs unlocked when we attempt to do a random dungeon with a pre-made 4-man group, and simply won't let us queue. The issue can be circumvented by passing the lead to the one person who doesn't have dlcs and have them queue. The finder should automatically know who has what and should put us in a dungeon accordingly.

Is anybody on pc eu actually using the grouping tool for pledges/randoms not as a 4-man group? In the afternoon/evening? From around 16:00 to 23:00? Cos it seems to me that no one ever uses it, it doesn't find a group for my healer at all. I'm usually queuing for hours, doing stuff in the meantime, and then eventually log off without a group.

Garldeen

I was using it as a healer until the DB update and getting in groups within a minute or two. It wasn't perfect before, but it did at least work. Something in DB broke it completely

Volsera

I waited a total of 2.5 hours after the "fix" and I still didn't got one dungeon, no normal nor a veteran one

MidknightWolf

@ZOS_GinaBruno Can we please at least get a word from ZOS on this entire group finder subject please? The lack of "official" feedback is disrespectful.

vyndral13preub18_ESO

Sucks to hear some are still having problems. Worked for me last night. 2 Dps grouped together found a group twice in under 5 mins.

Hopefully they get it fixed fast for those still having problems. Faster at any rate.

MidknightWolf

It works "okish" except when a random guy drops out of your party. Then your party is locked at 3 players and you will never be able to invite a new guy or find a replacement. You have to disband, wait 15 minutes and rejoin a new group.

greylox

The one thing that is working is that a group of 4 using the finder doesn't have to wait anymore, but all else seems broken. Was levelling an alt and was in a queue for over 3 hours on my own.

The dlc bug is sorted by getting the person without dlc to start the queue.

Come on zos....

Two weeks and my Healer still can't get grouped.

Please tell me the group finder is going to work today after patch. I saw nothing in the patch notes. We desperately need a working group finder!

lol you just wait.

Dungeon finder is broken like hell.

Too bad such a great game have a bad programing team.

Agalloch

Its hard to understand how they can brake so many things with every dlc. And they want to launch more and small dlc..Imagine what's gonna happen ...;)

jimmulvaney

Not to make excuses, but I wonder how much of the issue is DPS chars not being in queue? I only bring this up because when DB came out it appealed to the DPS crowd so much, more so than Thieves Guild ( to the whole ESO community really, looking for that Oblivion nostalgia). Could it be possible that there just aren't enough DPS chars in queue? The fact that some people have had relative success when not being DPS themselves, and others have not, makes me wonder why? You can't accurately gauge the performance of the tool, without knowing who is in queue, at what times.. ya know? I dunno if zos has anything in place to log that activity but if so they should take a look at it.

However, the whole waiting 2.5 hours when you have a full group in queue (or the no dlc issue), that is definitely some programming error.

nick59349b14_ESO

Lets hope this next weeks patch will address this issue. It's really rediculous.....

Why wouldn't it be broken even worse? Historically for every step forward, there's a stumble to the pavement, a shattered nose and a $1000000 medical bill. Metaphorically speaking, of course.
