BG queue bug on PCNA is getting out of hand.

ruskiii · October 29

7 out of 9 of my last games this morning haven't started because "Not enough players". Instead of filling the space, with people I know are in queue it is spinning up a new game for them and leaves you in the starting point for 5 minutes before it starts the game. Incredibly frustrating. Sometimes both teams have 7 players and the game still won't start.

5 minutes to check for players seems too long, I'm yet to see it fill after it's been looking for over 60 seconds. Maybe we need a "forfeit" vote also, that wouldn't just let us leave the bugged lobbies without getting the new (frankly insane) 30 minute deserter penalty, it would also let teams leave instead of camping their base after they have a bad first round.

Maybe there is a different solution, but something needs to be done about the queue bug urgently. Most matches since u44 are taking less than 4 minutes, having to wait 7 x 5 minutes = 35 minutes in the spawn point to play 2 four minute games, is not sustainable, and along with all the other problems is making BGs hard to play at a time the community should be excited for it.

* leaves you in the starting point for 5 minutes before it closes the game.

Typo in the post, makes it sounds like the games eventually start. They don't. It kicks you out after 5 minutes of "not finding" anyone to fill.

Is this for both 4v4 and 8v8? I haven't played a bg since yesterday and likely won't again but might help zos find a fix.

It's for both. I'm now 5/5 "Not enough players". This needs to be a priority fix. (NOTE: There are about 50 plus threads on this already started)

I saw a lot of other posts about bugs etc but not mentioning the broken queue. Either way ZOS need to acknowledge the bug and push a fix ASAP.

I'll do the daily BG but I'm done until backfilling is fixed.

I wonder if we would get any traction. By opening a bug report stating that bgs are bugged because there are only two teams now and, for some odd reason, sometimes each team has 8 players... oh and the bgs don't start...

Thanks for the update man. I notice on the list it only specifies the 8v8 modes, team probably knows already but it is happening with the 4v4s as well.

This is the flagship Q4 feature and it is unplayable about 75% of the time (12 of my last 16 games didnt start). Its causing a lot of frustration with players, and people are talking about walking away from the game. It sucks to think these first impressions of the new modes could cause irreparable damage to their long term popularity.

Same for me, 4 out of 5 round directly closed, 2 4v4 and 2 8v8.

for 4v4 solo Deathmatch, the player runout life early will consider AFK if the alive teammater keep stand long enough, it stupid as get deserter debuff..

While the current bgs are being fixed, could we also look into bringing back the old battlegrounds just in the mean time to have one that works while the team is updating the new one? Update 45 is a long way off, and it would be nice to still enjoy some form of battlegrounds in the meantime

Pretty sad when the only big feature in the 4th quarter update is new battlegrounds, which are almost impossible to even play because of the broken queue. Queued 3 times this morning for a 4v4 solo. All three times we had 7 players and the BG failed to start. Had to wait five minutes for the timer to run out before I could do anything else. Complete waste of 15 minutes of my time. Thanks, ZOS

good idea, the old 3 side BG still good, as there always get some fun since there always resolve for weaker team.

Totally agree Husk. The state the two-sided BGs are in is unacceptable. If they cant fix this game breaking bug on day one, they should put a pin in it and come back to it when the game mode is playable.

Like how they're "working on" the lag in cyrodiil ?
