Not sure about dungeons, but seems like the known que bug from bg.

Zone change then reque fixes almost instant.

Are you in a group of 2 or 3 people?

My Wife and i stopped playing because we were unable to complete our daily Veterans while queued with TANK and HEALER.
We had this bug EVERY DAY no matter how much we relogged or switched areas, restarted Game and all that nonsense.

You have to go alone or in a full group or the Dungeon tool has a high chance of bugging out.
When you queue alone as a DPS for a specific dungeon, you have to hope that another DPS, Healer and Tank also queue specifically for this dungeon because it appears that the tool does not mix random dungeon queuers with specific dungeon queuers.

It is just one of those things that have been broken for years and never get fixed.. just like the eternal Combat Bug in Cyro and now also in pve.

Was it the tank queuing? From what people have said and my own experience, sometimes tank + healer queues bug out completely if the tank is the one with lead. We're usually okay if the healer queues, but I've not tested this much with specific dungeons, mostly with randoms, so I don't know if it might help.

We tested everything. including one of us switching to dps and queueing as DPS, relogging, restarting, rezoning, re-everything.

At some point we just said: Nope we play something else.

I recall Gina mentioning that there was a bug when tanks OR healers were the ones who queued. As in, DPS needed to be the ones that put the group in a queue. I'm not sure if that was ever fixed or resolved. Judging by the track record, likely not.

Solution my friends and I use is to fake it till you make it. Either keep the tank or the healer, and have the second just be dps. Annoying, especially since the forums are so anti fake-roles in dungeons, but sadly until the game works as intended, it is what we have to do.

The dungeon finder is not bugged, it has a strange behavior.

For example, if you queue as tank and healer and anywhere is a dd that queues for a exotic dungeon, all 3 players are queued for the exotic dungeon. Now you wait for a fourth player for this dungeon, that nobody wants to play.

That means if you dont get a group after 30 seconds as tank/healer, leave the dungeon finder, wait 10 seconds and queue again. If inside the 10 seconds timeframe queues another tank OR healer, they get queued for the exotic dungeon, meaning your group is not going to be queued for the exotic dungeon and maybe for a more common dungeon.

Even after the DD leaves the queue, you keep queued for the exotic dungeon, meaning it may take endless while, to get 2 dd there. For this reason you have to repeatly rejoin the dungeon finder.

Has had opposite experience.
Dungeon finder has always been idiotic buggy. RND couple of days ago at evening, this one as healer and DD, used multiple tries to get in. Other got crown switched to fake tank and got in in seconds.

I say finder is an heap of bugs who often work not an functional module. If under heavy load it got insane up to not letting you cancel queue or dissolve group after you finish the dungeon you queued for by porting in.

Now they might have changes stuff or more bugs are introduced previously groups had an benefit as they filled them up.

Around 2021 I was in Vet dungeon DPS queue for over 2 hours. I made a Healer PvE build and now my queues are either instant or less than 15 mins. I never queued as DPS again after that.

Same, I got as dd once up to 2h43mins of queue before I logged off without tagging.
Being a tank is a bliss for the queues :d

It was a while ago, that the dungeonfinder has not worked at all. But how the dungeonfinder works, it works since relase. It could need some adjustments in its behavior.

Lets take 2 dungeons: fungus 1 as pledge and city of Ash 2 as non-pledge.

If a DD queues for city of ash 2 and the dd is waiting enough time, so the next tank gets bound to the dd, you have an (invisible) group of 1 dd and 1 tank for city of ash 2. Usually, a tank would get a group in less than 30 seconds. But now, this hidden grp needs 2 other players. If nobody else is going for random dungeon, instead they go straight to pledge. Nobody will get queued for city of ash 2, meaning you may wait 60+ minutes as "solo" tank for a dungeon.

There is no really solution to fix this "issue," because if the tank gets unbound from the city of ash 2 grp after some seconds to get bound to another dungeon (fungus 1), then the DD will *never* get a grp for city of ash 2.

The only "fix" to fix your own queue time as tank or healer is repeatly rejoin the queue in 30/10 seconds timeframe. Meaning leave queue after 30 seconds, wait 10 seconds and repeat.

There may be some bugs in the dungeon finder, but this above is how the dungeon intentionaly work and it is also intentional, that a tank or healer may wait 30 minutes instead of 30 seconds because of design.
