Dungeon finder bugged [on PC at least]

wasup23

Since the update the dungeon finder has been shoddy at best.
- Finding group it makes everybody ready before travel, but it doesn't teleport us.(It worked once since the patch.)
- Then, we have to walk to dungeon manually
- Then, we don't get our random dungeon bonus.
- Some players have speculated that you cannot queue while you have players in a dungeon, but even out of dungeon it doesn't work
- Some players have speculated that you cannot queue for a dungeon when you have recently completed one, but even fresh login with all four players after not playing all day it still doesn't work
- Some players have speculated that it is my internet connection... So does everybody on the server since patch have my "connection problem?"


Everybody I have talked to in the game has had the same complaint since the patch. Is anybody else experiencing this?

Our group just did City of Ash I, completed it and didn't get the xp or the mail with the rewards....

Guess the Homestead patch screwed it all up......

There seems to be several issues with Dungeon Finder since the UI. For my part I have run it several times since the update and noticed the following

• No XP
• No Undaunted reward in email
• One group was made of 4 DPS - no Tank, No Healer. **

** BTW - As a mistake 4 DPS (Me as a magplar DPS with 3 Sorc DPS) worked remarkably well.

still not getting xp or reward when in party with a friend, only the leader gets it.

Group finder is horribly bugged right now - and it is becoming very very annoing ... common problems for me

- no XP reward if you are not the leader of the group when joining the queue
- group forms, you are teleported to the dungeon, but are immediately removed again
-> if this happens, you can pretty much give up doing a dungeon, because someone will not teleport back in and leave the group
-> if someone leaves the group, you will not find a replacement, if you queue, you'll get an error "a different lfg search was initiated" and no one will ever join your group (not even a DD!)
-> if you try to leave the queue for a replacement, you will be hit with the penalty timer

Whatever you did to group finder with Homestead (or actually partially before that), please revert all changes. I've only had very minor problems ever since it was fixed in DB (I believe). Right now, it is almost as unbearable as it was before, when you had to wait for hours to get a group.

Please revert the absolutely useless and annoying "pre-form" check. It doesn't change the one problem the old group finder had (penalty if you are kicked/group is disbanded, because you are low level or something) and just adds a bunch of other problems. No way to control your teleport to the dungeon - yes, you have the ready check, but sometimes it takes 10 ready checks to find a group, and all that time you have to stand around doing nothing. Not to mention the fact that that first ready check sometimes breaks and you can't get a group at all.

Please revert back to the "old" group finder that at least a) delivered xp rewards most of the time b) actually found groups very quickly if you queued as a healer or tank and c) didn't make any difference in punishing.

Oh and while I was writing this up, I just had a new error: ready check while forming the group, someone is not ready, and you get kicked from the queue. join again, ready check, someone is not ready, and you get kicked from the group. Rinse and repeat.

We're working on getting this one fixed. Unfortunately it won't be in Monday's incremental patch, but are aiming for a future incremental.

That explains so much. I usually use the daily random quests to level up particular skills, and I couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting the 100K XP boost affecting my skills.

I have a sad now.

If you queue solo, it works: you get the reward.

If you queue with a full 4-person group, it works: everyone gets the reward.

If you queue with a partially-formed group, it bugs out.

Oh man this makes me happy. My friend and I just both queue separately and hope we pop into the same group by chance.

It worked fine. The new version is worse in many ways and better in none. Please revert.

Worse
* Can't see the group to see a level 10 tank for ROM or CP22 Heals for VET ICP before you go
* Lose someone and need a replacement? Sometimes it is game over, three man it or start again
* Super duper buggy it constantly fails to launch
* When is fails you have to wait 15 minutes
* When it succeeds you sometimes get no XP

Better
* ........crickets............

I used to try and do a daily random and the easy pledges on my main characters, don't even bother now.

had a pre formed 4 man group last night for a random dungeon - first time bugged out and spammed us all with the first prompt multiple times, (5 or 6 times each in a few seconds) finally bugged out and gave us the 15 min penalty.

so we ran a manual dungeon

second time ported us to the dungeon, then ported us out, then as we were growling and being generally irritated in discord, it ported us back in. We did get the reward

I just had my first group finder experience. The first attempt, my friend and I got ported out right after we got ported in. We had no idea what was going on or if we were being noobs. We felt dumb. Then the other people left without saying anything and we had a 15 minute penalty to try again.

Then we ran the dungeon fine with a group and my friend got epics in a loot bag at the end while I got nothing.

I would expect this lack of polish for such a basic MMO feature in a game that just launched, and I'll leave it at that.

"No PC/Mac maintenance" tomorrow... Great, another week with terminally broken group finder. Thanks ZOS!

Here is a simple fix, shut the game down for the tech team to do a thorough review and fix on the patches for approximately 1-2 weeks. So that way even the review team can test and bring online once finished. And for the players patience maybe a donation of 1k-5k crowns to all players for the inconvenience (depending on if they have ESO Plus or not, those with eso plus will get slightly more).

Now I acknowledge that means no play time for any of us, but considering the headaches us players have to deal with everytime an update comes, its almost not worth playing the game. With shutting the game down for this period will allow full access for the tech team to weed out any issues or program conflicts without interruption within the servers and the constant complaints from us. This will alleviate their plates for more constructive notes from the beta/review team and find the proper programing fixes. While the rest of us will wait patiently for the finished fix and enjoy the game the way it was intended and there should only be simple small fixes to deal with then.

For the record, still having these issues with the dungeon finder.

Inquisitor_Wind

its horrible getting stuck in ready check forever
and when you're in a dungeon and someone leaves group finder never seem to replace the memeber , even if its a dd , its totally broken

AlexDresden87

I believe that ESO should Forego any additional improvements until they fix the problems that are currently present. Who here agrees with me? Yay or Nay

Brentmeisterr

Any update on this? Still doesn't appear fixed, haven't seen anything in the last 3 patch notes.

gorathSheo

Yup...still not getting exp when pairing with a friend and we're ported out of the dungeon an soon as we enter it.

I'm out.

Lugg
