Ressurecting also seems to be hit/miss with soul gems. Sometimes the lowbies can rez me, other times they can not. Some times they cannot even rez themselves. Whatever the case, it needs to be addressed.

I didn't even think of that... And of course it didn't ever come up in my experience, as nobody died.

Lol solo queue for normal banished cells today. Plenty of death to be had.

Is there some secret to getting the new LFG to work or not, because I still can't find a group for anything with it.

All I did was open the tool, make sure my preferred role was selected, pick a dungeon, and hit the search for group key. No secret to it. What are you queuing for, and what role are you queuing as? How long are you waiting?

If it means I do not have to wait for dungeon groups, I'm fine with non-vets in the group.

My first run through BC was challenging and did not teleport automatically to the dungeon. Then on Fungal and Spindle Clutch it teleported the entire group right away and the dungeon went smoothly.

Is the teleport to dungeon feature working yet?

Out of the 3 times I've now used the LFG tool since the patch I haven't been teleported to the dungeon yet. It sounds like it's sometimes working, but not always for whatever reason.

That's disappointing...Not teleporting to dungeons was one of the top reasons why console players left the newly formed group. This could sway me to not buy the expansion if it is not fixed.

Now this is something I definitely like to hear and it makes me look forward to the 18th even more now, because what I loved about WoW, was random dungeons.

I'm a PvPer at heart but I love random dungeons for some reason and this game's broken LFG tool (especially on console, pre Orsinium) put me off straight away after I sat in queue for over 2 hours and then the french leader (sorcerer) would streak through the dungeon, pulling all mobs into the boss and expected me to keep him up since I was the healer, well.. he kicked me for that and I just lost interest. Haven't done a dungeon in months since then, though I can't wait til Orsinium now.

Out of curiosity, why would that cause them to leave newly formed groups? Can you not use wayshrines to get there or teleport to members of the party who are already inside on console?

And why would any of this make a difference with your decision to buy Orsinium? The LFG tool changes are part of the base game patch, and you'll get them whether you buy the DLC or not.

Because the majority of console players are too lazy to stop what they are doing, enable their mic, ask what dungeon they are going to, running to a wayshrine and teleporting there. For buying the expansion pack, if they finally did not address the LFG tool that should of been fixed over a year ago; I no longer want to support the games development team.

Indeed, that's what causes a big problem on console when we get put into a dungeon group with no form of communication since like 90% of the groups don't speak, and you wait in the queue for ages and then when it finally forms, they leave because they don't know what dungeon's been selected, like if we miss the brief white text on the top right corner, we won't know what dungeon we've got, well.. I never used to be able to tell what dungeon we were put into, but yeah..

Hopefully the teleport feature works by then.

My main is a healer. I have had a lot of experience on PS4 trying to form a group. I have been successful 1% of the time. As soon as someone leaves it is like a domino effect; everyone else ends up leaving too. That is why a deserter debuff should of been included in the group finder update. Use WOW's for example, "Dungeon Deserter, You abandoned your group and must wait before using Dungeon Finder or Raid Finder again.
30 minutes remaining"

See and this isn't a problem I've ever experienced on PC - probably because of text chat. Nobody ever seems to have a problem with asking in /group what dungeon we're doing, getting an answer, and then everyone goes there.

And how did the run go? Did you find that the scaling & battle-leveling worked fine, or did you find that it was lacking?

I was your tank, Runs-The-Abyss. Well, i just agree with everything you said, the new LFG tool is a great improvement and is good to see your report here! Cheers

Hey, you did a great job! Was I right in assuming that you were already familiar with the dungeon mechanics? It definitely seemed like everyone knew what to do in each fight...

Can't you all there just see where the leader of the group at? I don't know how grouping on console, but on PC i can see where my group are at the time, just like how i can see the whereabout of every online guildmates. Just open group, and then see under "Location" on your group list. After that you can simply teleport to the your group leader when he/she enters the dungeon.

jeppyboi

When your accepted for a group you receive a notification asking you if you want to teleport to the dungeon.. You have to accept the notification first then it teleports you to the dungeon. It doesn't just happen. What if your in the middle of doing something lol

I've never received a notification asking that... So it doesn't seem to always work.

Van_0S

My first experience with LFG tool is that it still doesn't work.

Huggalump

my first experience with LFG tool was running in with a lvl 35 healer and watching everyone in my group, including the tank, get one shot by the first boss

Sleep

my first experience is that it doesn't work.

jeppyboi

make sure you check straight away because the notification only last 30 secs then it disappears

Can you be more specific on what doesn't work?

I didn't get anything. Twice I had the group form literally instantly when I hit search, so there's no way I could have missed a notification. It just occurred to me, though, that I've got a couple of addons that could be inadvertently blocking the notification from showing up. One in particular was designed to block or redirect certain notifications (like the one for the guild MotD being changed, etc), so I wouldn't be at all surprised if that's why the teleport feature doesn't seem to work for me, but others report it working.
