Do you like the current 4 man dungeon queuing system?

No

Hate the fact that you HAVE to have a Healer. Wish you could queue as 3 DPS, and 1 Tank. Heck don't even need a tank in normal.

Enemy-of-Coldharbour

No

No, that's why I solo as many as I can. It may take me a bit longer to complete the dungeon, but I can take my time, I don't have to deal with jerks, and I swear I get better drops.

No

Worst group finder I've used in any multiplayer game. Will never understand why the struggle so much at such a basic concept.

No

No. I queued up for a specific dungeon the other day for the pledge and it put me in a vet dungeon, even though I was set to normal mode and selected the normal mode version. After the first fight or two taking 3-4 minutes to clear the spawns it became clear that we weren't going to beat any bosses, so I switched over to a character who had about double the dps of my first one and we slowly made it through. The other dps was level 48, and clearly had dps well under 10k, which would be fine for a normal dungeon but not vet. I asked around in group if someone else had set to vet mode, but everyone denied it, so I'm puzzled by how it happened. No pledge credit for me, but I hate to fail.

The other problem I see with it is that when queuing for a random, if someone is low level, say under 20, it excludes them from the higher level "harder" dungeons, but still lets them into the DLC dungeons. Thus there is a much higher chance they will end up in one of the hard, long dungeons like IPC or WGT, because there are only a few low level dungeons. I'm not sure who among the devs felt that WGT was a better place for a low level character than Crypt of Hearts 1, for example, but my last time I tried running WGT with the dungeon that is what we had, a level 12 and a level 18 dps. Thank goodness they were both experienced players on alts and knew the content, we actually got through pretty smoothly, but a lot of new players must get pretty discouraged if that is their first experience with a dungeon. As another poster suggested, it would be nice if there were some way for lower level characters to sign up for a random in the bottom half of difficulty rather than being shunted mainly into the top half of difficulty.

The current system doesn't tell you which dungeon you are doing if you queued for random.
I don't think that's a good idea, cos the people who are not doing certain dungeon are going to leave after all ported there, then the group had to search for a replacement while everyone waited in the dungeon, why?
Isn't the system supposed to have everyone willing and able clicked yes, then form the group?
To be willing people got to see which dungeon they going to be doing.
For example I've no mic, so I'm going to leave for mazzatun vet no matter what cos the last boss requires co ordination!

no prob with finder. i (dps) just que as tanks and presto! insta group hahahahhaha

the finder works fine. it's just the lack of tanks that sucks.

rwfairchildpub19_ESO

Yes

not fitting with the topic, but I already posted my thoughts so meh.
If a group of two ques do we both get the random reward or just the one that ques? haven't tested but heard a rumor of this.

thanks

Edit: spelling

Despite the current buggy and broken dungeon queuing system, do you like it if it works?

I like the current system. It works way better than it used to and continues to improve. For example: I welcome the recent change that allows me to leave a dungeon while waiting for a replacement without having to worry about being automatically warped back inside every minute.

Could it be improved upon? Certainly. So can anything. But it usually works fine for me and I haven't been experiencing these bugs everyone else keeps complaining about. So it might be addon related, since I don't use addons. Or it might be a console thing. I am not sure what system you play ESO on.

In regards to your criticisms about random dungeons; that is the entire point of queuing up for a random dungeon. You aren't suppose to know which dungeon you are getting. That is why doing a random dungeon has an added reward.

No

Nope don't like it. I have no interest in completing the Shadows of the Hist dungeons and I don't ever want to do Imperial City Prison again.

Sometimes I don't have time for dungeons like City of Ash 2 also.

I hate surprises.

If it was MUCH less buggy, I would like it. When it works smoothly, it gets the job done. But with the number of problems it has had lately and the 15-minute cooldown before requeueing, it's really a mess.

This weekend, I saw a new one: I had a group form after 30 minutes of waiting with a blank name for one of the DPS slots. This was NOT a 3-man group. It was a 4-man group, one of which had no name. We couldn't kick it because 'a player of that name could not be found' or some such message. We had do disband the group, requeue, etc.

Yes

I'd like to blacklist several dungeons, so they never show up in my random queue, since I'll leave anyway if I get there.
And all that buggy stuff with broken teleport and activity complete to be fixed.
Other than that I like it.
