Been cued probably for an hour, at least.

StarOfElyon · October 2020

Well, I'm out of time. Sleepy and wasting my food buff. Shame. I wanted to play the game tonight.

Waited 3 hours in the queue last night, prime time Xbox EU and not one game popped. Really disappointing, I am assuming queue is broken. Anybody else having issues?

Bashev · October 2020

On PC EU 15 minutes in queue/ right now. Does anyone else have the same issue?

JRManron · October 2020

Just logged out. Waited 90+ min and not a single BG match... PC EU... Time for RIP PC EU again? 😰

Waffennacht · October 2020

Xbox NA 27 min and counting

MurderMostFoul · October 2020

Xbox NA, 10/20 10:30pm est - can't get into any matches. I'm on my third +15min queue, random mode too.

Waffennacht · October 2020

After posting, I logged out, quit game, restarted console, reopened game, and logged back in. After that, I got into 2 matches each with <10mins queues.

Its broken in many ways. I got 4 times in a row a BG with one premade group destroying the other two solo queued teams, ZOS can't do anything right...Its so stupid to see that very same issue again after such a long time to fix it. And yes I used the solo queue.

Are you sure that the other group was premade? Sometimes the random group good players vs not so good players.

@Bashev They were the same guild, all 4 wore tabbard.

Then it could be bugged, too much coincidence to be all in the same group from the same guild. Back in the days I used to get one or two from my guildmates in a group but all 4 and all 4 of us with the tabbards never happened.

PC EU - max 5 minutes so far

nqvarihs · November 2020

well group q dies every 2 days since the patch, but now solo q is broken as well.

and we still cant choose gamemode btw

I was playing BGs with friends the last few days (a full premade group) and once the queue popped, on average, atleast one of us did not get in. Some games we all managed to get in, most games 3 of us got in and one was left behind and sometimes even 2 of us were left behind for a game. What happens is the queue pops, and as soon as the first person accepts he starts teleporting in. And if you don't accept within the 2-3 seconds timeframe before he goes into the loading screen, the ready check will go away and you are stuck outside. I tried immediatelly leaving the group and queueing solo, but never managed to get into the same game, eventhough there was obviously room for one more player in our team - which eventually got filled by a random.

That's not how the bug works. Instead, it's that once the group leader accepts the queue, everyone else who hasn't already done the same will lose their prompt. If the group leader has an addon with auto-accept turned on, it will frequently leave other people out, even if they're using the same addon. Have your group leader turn off any sort of auto-accept, and only take the queue once everyone else has.

Frankly they should just copy the same grp queue system cyro has, only the grp leader should have to accept the queue, and that's it.
But ofc they use the same system the dungeon finder has where everyone has to accept individually.

Well then I apologize for not knowing the ins and outs of how every bug in the game works

It will be easier to overcome now that I know what the bug is, but it would be nice if ZOS could fix it instead of it being yet another thing the players need to find a solution to themselves.

Ever since they brought back group queues, solo queue will never pop for me, I have waited up to an hour after exiting and trying to re-queue multiple times. I can no longer play BGs unless I force myself to group and go against premade cheese. Thanks Zos.

Yasha · January 2021

I can't get into a bg at all today, just stuck in endless queues. I have tried requeuing, or logging in on different characters but no luck. Whats going on? Are there less than 12 people trying to get into a game?

MurderMostFoul · January 2021

Was fine, actually quite quick, on Xbox NA for me earlier today.

Queues will just break sometimes, and inexplicably fix themselves...eventually. Anecdotally, it seems like the solo queue gets bugged in this way more frequently than the group queue does (even when playing solo in both cases). If one queue gets stuck for a long period of time like that, try using the other.
