Undaunted Event – Activity Finder Feedback

    The only bit of feedback I have is to suggest adding a small delay (say, 5-10 seconds) from when you queue up for the dungeon and when it will hit you up with a group invitation. I know this sounds odd, but because the queue popped instantly (and I mean instantly) I found myself hitting "B" to back out of the dungeon finder menu only to inadvertently back out of the option to accept the matchmade group. Fortunately this doesn't cancel you out of the queue, but then I would have to re-open another menu to accept the arranged group.

    Mainly a problem for tanks, I suppose, but since I pretty much only tank probably half the time I backed out of the menu the second it went "yay, group found" and had to re-navigate menus. XD

    I think I did two to a three random dungeons but for the rest of them I read about fungal eariler before that and thought to give it a try. It was very easy to queue up for and do for the rest of the event. I don't know if it was exploiting per say but maybe something zenimax could look into as bosses are able to be skipped. Making it the best choice for farming such events but I only did it several times as I was only looking for the hefty boxes personally but there were times I ran it and found that just drop blue boxes but then I didn't know it had a set reset time till I asked about it last night.

    Event seemed to have worked this time. Plus the way it was done is very helpful for gold at least. Because of the fact the motifs are rare enough to be worth something. Glad for that at least. It will help with funding my ability to furnish my home.. There is an area in the water that allows you to skip the mobs altogether though in Fungal. I don't know if this is bugged or something that has to be looked into to prevent. Even without that you can still skip the bosses. So I don't think it matters that much from what I gathered. So I do think that dungeon needs to be looked at because well even though its very easy to do. I think there is issues with it that could be fixed to make it so players have to defeat the two mini bosses. Since I think you have to deal with all of them to complete the quest not sure. But that is unfair to new players or players that want to funish the quest.
    Roles do seem to put more pressure onto you. But fungal you don't need that pressure to complete it. So that is another reason why I started just running that for this. I guess I could called a fake tank. But then I didn't even bother to change my role. But to me tanking could be just self survival. Keeping the mobs off yourself while the bear does the distracting. *Shrugs*\

    From what I understand Fungal has been known about for a while and has had those issues for a long long time. So you guys might already know about it. But wanted to let you guys know what is going on if you didn't already.

    January 12th, I queued solo as a tank on PC/NA and ended up grouped with a healer in Blessed Crucible and just that healer. They said they queued in and put crown on me after I appeared. I put us in queue and no DPS arrived after three attempts at waiting several minutes. I put the crown back on the healer. They said they received a message that the instance was full, but it was just the two of us. We broke the group and made a new one by inviting people.

    Im a dps and I couldn't find a group for 30 minutes so I just gave up and went back to pvp. It's sad how the dungeon finder has always been the same broken thing and even more sad after all this trouble to "fix" it its still the same, long queues.

    This is why DPS always queue as a tank or a healer. Its zos fault.

    Yes and no.

    It’s not ZOS’s fault that so few players want to play tanks or healers (although they really don’t make an effort to incentivise players to do either). So dps outnumber tanks and healers many, many times over. Hence dps queue for longer.

    Nor is it ZOS’s fault that many players can’t form their own 4 player groups (where they can happily all be pretend tanks healers and dps). They’ve created a group finder to help and so far it’s worked okay.

    The group finder can’t find you a group if there are no tanks or healers about.

    Sometimes it’s up to players to do things for themselves. ZOS is not your mummy.

    And don’t queue as something you’re not, because that’s just [edited for profanity] on your fellow players no matter how fantastic and wonderful you think you are.

    Detailed summary of the issue
    Queued for solo random as healer, but left the queue after +-4 minutes.
    Retried solo queueing for a specific vet dungeon (spindleclutch 2) as a healer 10 minutes after I left the other queue.
    I get an instant invite for dungeon, so i quickly accept without really reading the message. I get ported straight away to a random normal dungeon, instead of the dungeon i actually queued for.

    Happend twice, during prime time (+-7pm CET) and in the morning (+-10AM CET)

    Were you queuing solo or with other people?
    Solo as a healer

    What took place prior to the issue? (possible ways to reproduce the issue)
    Queued for random normal - left the queue - waited a few minutes - queued for specific vet dungeon

    PCNA. Every day, queue was immediate and without problem except once. One time someone declined and it seemed to kill my queuing. Didn't matter to me since I was tanking and re-queuing was instantaneous.

    Xbox NA. This was my first time ever using the activity finder, and once I was actually placed in a dungeon it was really fun and I really enjoyed it. My only problem was the queue time. For the Undaunted the pledges are specific dungeons, and sometimes when I queued for a dungeon, I would have to wait over 30 minutes. Then I would back out of the queue and do it again and I would be pushed right in. So basically I waited for no reason and would have to do the queue twice in order to enter a dungeon. I am unsure if this is a bug or whatnot but that was my problem.

    Personally, when I and/or friends use dungeon finder and the queue gets to 10mins, we either re queue and it pops fairly quickly (10 mins or under) or we find another way to get a group going. I just don't feel that waiting longer is a productive use of my limited recreational time. all in all, the finder has worked well for when I've needed it since the patching.

    I hope so because that would be really interesting. And very much in keeping with the ‘help us live test this’ approach that was used.

    During event I always queued solo to see what would happen.

    PS4 EU server: waiting on queue as dps for 15-20 minutes average. Queues with tank and healer were faster, as I was expecting.

    PS4 NA server: waiting on queue as dps for 15-30 minutes average. On one occasion it was super fast even if I was queuing as dps: last day I queued and got assigned to a group under 30 seconds.

    Conclusion: it was better than in previous editions so, it made me happy.

    I rage quit halfway through the event. I got kicked offline several times while using the activity finder. Some times my group was kind enough to wait, some just kicked me and I had to start all over. I was so frustrated that I didn’t play again until yesterday, and even then I won’t join another group for fear of it happening again.

    So I know this was for event but looked like a good place to post about issue I keep having quite frequently with the activity finder in dungeon queue. Queue for activity and when it pops , there is no onscreen notification for the ready check like normal as you can see in the first picture. Then when I click on the notification, you can see in the second picture that the timer is 00s. No matter how many times I click accept it doesn't go away and in fact has kicked me to login screen a few times doing so. I end up having to decline or it just stays there for awhile. Had it happen three different times tonight alone.
