No, Dungeon Finder on PS4 is a complete mess since the Dark Brotherhood update. It is pretty much broken!!
In the morning it seems a bit better, but the more players available, the worse it gets. It was fine before DB patch, but now you can que forever and not get in.
They have also introduced a ludicrous 14 minute penalty. You que for a dungeon, wait for ages... if you are lucky you get in. Then if someone decides to leave... good luck finding a replacement!! If you are kicked, you are also banned for 14 mins. Absolutely ridiculous.
Another problem I have had is doing the Random Veteran Dungeon were you get 101,000 xp... completing it, only to then not get the email rewards and not get the xp.
Needs to be fixed ASAP4 -
Duragon_Darko✭✭✭I agree with Mac, since Dark Brotherhood came, I haven't been able to que quickly. The last dungeon that actually did que, I was in that que for 45 minutes and forgot I was qued. When I did get in, they were missing a healer, trying just dps it, and I walk in as a tank. None of then were in group it area chat, and I even used emotes and they ignored and contined to try and 2 man dps. I left and kept questing. Ridiculous..... I have to admit, the devs do listen to reason, if not to the forums. Thank you for "nameplates", a welcome addition to immersion, as well as the text chat box for PS4, which only comes on the screen when I need it too, and helps this gameplay SO MUCH MORE then without it. THANK YOU for the additions. Very much appreciated.0 -
Blevil✭✭✭I've been messing with group finder for the past week and noticed that when it says the queue time is >1hour, that's the only time you can get in a dungeon. If you queue and wait 5mins and don't see the >1hour estimate, forget it, it's not working.|--| /-\ \/\/ /-\ | | `"*-.,0 -

Deserter buff was a great implementation imo. I remember making a forum post about it ages ago, so you are welcome for that. Too many people join then quit immediately in random groups."The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you."0 -

Do you do dungeons regularly? Do you reallly think that works?
The problem is this... you join a group, but suddenly the group change their mind and someone disbands, or you get kicked before the dungeon has even started (for whatever reason), or someone leaves and no one enters... either way you are banned for 14 minutes! ...and thats after queing for ages!
Also in terms of a punishment for deserters, its pointless and does not work! The deserters that really upset the party are the ones who leave once you are a boss or two in. But by that point you have been in there for 14 mins already, so the deserter gets no penalty at all!
It doesn't work! It's only affect is to upset players who actually want to do pledges and run the dungeons (IMO)
At least the good news is that Jessica Folsom acknowledged the problems on the recent twitch live, and said they are working on a fix and if they get the authorisation and its all working, perhaps we will get a hotfix. As for the silly 14 min ban... who knows0 -

✭I'm not sure yet if it's a mess or if it's just taking long to find an open group. I was able to get into 2 random dungeons a couple day ago, but only one yesterday. The ones I was able to get in, it only took a few mins from using the finders (PS4), but other times I would be waiting for a hour or so and didn't get in another. So I wonder if it's just during peak gameplay times and there is no open spot or if there is really some kind of an issue with using the group or activity finder. I will try it again later on today and see what happens.
As far as the deserters aspect.. that is new to me. I didn't realize there is some kind of penalty for leaving. On one of the dungeon runs, we seemed to hit the wall with the final boss and all of us kept on dying. Essentially, for reason of frustration or maybe needing to come back later on when the characters are higher levels, but the other players left one by one. I don't blame them. That boss was hard, and we had a couple lower level characters in the group. Probably better anyways to come back when the characters' defensive and offensive traits are higher. So, as the lone guy there, I was then automatically booted out of that dungeon. So, does that means the other 3 would be banned for some times? That doesn't makes any sense. It's not a crime to retreat or fall back in order to reevaluate and be able to fight another day.. yeah?0
