Group Finder (X1) Discussion

Bloodgharm

I've only used the group finder a couple of times, but both times turned out to be less than stellar experiences. I never got to even start the dungeon I was attempting. The problem I had I guess boiled down to long wait times and horrible groups. My question is this:

How long is an average wait time for a dps role for the standard dungeons like fungal grotto? Now I waited about 20-30 mins to actually get put into a group. This just seems ridiculous. I ended up doing some questing while I waited and finally got put into a group right as I was finishing up a quest. At my earliest convenience, I ported over to fungal grotto and didn't see my group anywhere. Here's the part that confuses me. After realizing my group was nowhere to be found, I put in my mic to try to corroborate with everyone. I could speak and the icon that displays when you're talking was working, but I couldn't hear anyone else. Eventually, group members started dropping out left and right and I was left sitting there wondering what happened. It makes me not want to try using group finder again if that's the standard fare that I'll be getting. It was just a horrible experience.

Yeah the group finder is pretty much useless at the moment. I've literally left it in queue for an hour and got nowhere.

I've found for group dungeons the best method to group up is to sit and wait outside the dungeon ask around on voice chat. Even if you don't get any responses just throw out some group invites to any one you see around.

Yeah...no. I guess I'll just wait till they get it fixed or go to a 3rd party site to find a group...

Any Group finder has two separate but equally important measurements of success

1. The time it takes to match a group

2. The quality of the group v the difficulty of the content

The group finder was good in the early days beta and early launch but it has since fallen out of use. I dont think its ZOS fault in so much as people just are not going into it.

This maybe the current on PC, but not on console. You will know why if you read the 989809808908 other posts on this issue.

I just don't get why noone would be using it if it's the only way to find a group in game ok console...short of sitting around waiting at the dungeon entrance, that is.
