PS4 LFG tool is not working at all, it does not group players together for dungeons

treyu86 · June 2015

I know this bug/problem appeared some time ago in PC too, at least when I left the game the problem persisted, but I thought it would be fixed for the console release. I managed to get like 10 friends to buy the PS4 version and now that they are lv20, they are all asking me what happens with the lfg tool, because they never get to form a party with an never ending queu. It does not matter if you are healer, tank or dps, it just never forms a group. So something is very wrong here. I tried to use it 10 times this last week and spent from 1 hour to 5 hours waiting (I am tank) for different dungeons and no group was formed ever, so I desisted.

But the worst thing is that the Support forum is FULL of this kind of post, and there is no official answer from any dev regarding this topic, never. Which makes people think they are avoiding the matter, and I think it is a very very important one, more so in the console version where all we have is voice chat to organize ourselves so a working lfg tool is fundamental.

So please, is any dev willing to asnwer this officialy and tell us if they know there is an issue, or if they think there is not an issue so they can explain us why this is normal or whatever?

I generally get put in a group in under 10min, problem is it doesnt automatically transport everyone there . 3 dungeons 1 after another this evening i was the only person turning up at the dungeon, the others just continued whatever they were at and ignored me calling in chat, ingame mail and ps msg. The whole system is either extremely bugged or terribly designed. Im about done with dungeons until it gets fixed

Many people report hours of waiting time to get a group or even they desist and never get one, while some other tell they find group easy. So there is a problem that segregates players and let them or not use the lfg tool, clearly.

Tryed to find a group twice, waited about 10 minutes each time no luck. Ended up travelling to outside the dungeon and finding people outside it instead, was a lot quicker

It has not worked at all for me yet - total rubbish!

It's working but ultra slow.
The main problem aswell is that if it does find some group, it doesn't teleport you to the dungeon, so people are standing around in different zones.

I have to send them messages on playstation because yet again - noone uses the voice, another reason we need chat/text.
But yes, get the group finder to instance everyone aswell, kind of a bad design....

It definitely works but as with most MMO's there is a very large shortage of tanks. I run quite a bit of dungeons and the majority of them I end up healing a 3man or running with someone that just queued as tank that is just spamming one ability. I just look at it like it makes me better but i'm almost max level (non-vet) and I could see that being much more frustrating.

Like symonator said the main problem is that it doesn't port you to the dungeon. You can port to a player that goes to the dungeon but if you miss the message that says what dungeon you were selected for I don't believe you can see it anywhere after (please correct me if i'm wrong). So someone ports somewhere they want and everyone else leaves.

It is really a shame because it is so close to being OK and the dungeons are a riot and very fun (IMO). The other issue i've seen a tremendous amount of crap talking midway through and people leave and it makes it more brutal. Also not everyone likes voice chat and that is another issue when working out some of the fights.

Even as a healer I've had upwards of an hour wait time, that I forget about as i'm doing trading. As DPS i've never got a queue. If it wasn't so expensive to switch skills I would just tank for something different. I would imagine that is more of a problem before max level when you don't have enough skill points for multiple builds and/or PvP builds/PvE builds.

I hate that I find myself going back to WoW
because the Group Finder is amazing in that game.
I love questing in TESO (even though its mostly solo)
but a big reason I bought the game was for the endgame
content (trials, dungeons, etc) I love group content
and as funny as it sounds I like relying on tanks, or dps,
or heals, to help us through. It makes it more exciting that
each individual has to be experienced & skilled to proceed
with end game content. Thats just my opinion though.
I just wish a Dev could take the time out to help fix this small issue
everyone has had since the game has been RELEASED.

Endgame is dead on the ps4 eu at least. Doing vet dsa with my core group but no others end game at all. Just pvp which is just siege weapon wars...

The problem is the level restriction, vet dungeons take like 10 mins to find a group but anything else, forget about it. Hours of waiting you would be better off finding an LFG website.
