LFG system severely broken

Draconerus

The LFG system is severely broken. Yesterday I queued for a random normal. Got into the group and we all got removed from dungeon and got the debuff. This wasn't our fault, but we had to wait for the debuff to expire. After it expired we re-queued. Same thing happened. This has been happening very frequently for myself and others since Homestead. PLEASE fix this.

I would also like to see it fixed where groups don't have to disband after completing a dungeon just to start a new one.

Yes, it should be. But I raised 3 tickets on this, when I finally got a response from a human (or very possibly a gibbon) they gave me complete garbage advice (walk into dungeon to collect daily random reward), then when I asked them to escalate the ticket they closed it.

ZOS must be the only MMO dev on the planet who cannot get a grouping tool working in 3 years.

How about where you queue but you're not in queue but it says you are.

You go into the interface and cannot leave the queue or edit your selections however the timer still continues and the font changes to a yellow/orange color while playing.


Forced to log out and it happens at least once a day on one character.

Happened again today when queuing for a pledge.

Not only that, but they manage to make it worse and worse.

The LFG made grouping and game overall really disgusting for me.

"Activity Complete" upon forming a new group...

Completely broken right now on PS4.

Tried for 2 hours to do pledges yesterday. Spend 15 minutes failing to successfully form a group, then get "rewarded" with a 15 minute timeout. Rinse and repeat and 2 hours gone, no pledges done.

Disgusting!

zaria

amazingly the game tend to kick group out of dungeon multiple times even with full group going to specific dungeon.
No idea why.

I think that's a bit strong, I've met some really great people through the LFG randoms but now I cannot rely on it I do ask in zone chat for groups, and that's actually uplifted the social element of the game somewhat. Rather than relying on the tool and just saying, "hello" and thrashing the pledge in 3 minutes flat, the need to colloborate and chat to find people has caused more interaction.

Of course, I'm not saying that's ZOS' reason for breaking it, that would show some sort of thinking on their part!

ZOS will get the group finder working perfectly the day before the servers close forever.

Blackbird_V

Give us back the old system without penalty until we have a functional group finder.

Problem solved.

Draconerus

It is broken for all platforms currently.

Happened to us last night twice. We had a preformed group and it booted us immediately after loading into the dungeon. Oddly the 2nd time it was Blackheart, which also was the pledge. We gave up on trying to do randoms and just did the pledges normally (porting in) and after completing BH, it gave us the xp bonus and the undaunted mail.

Draconerus

It has been happening to me and my friend 50% of the time usually. It occurs on randoms and the pledges.

An unusual bug we had happen with the LFG tool. Our group formed, cleared the dungeon and disbanded within the dungeon. Good work team! As soon as we got out of the load screen we were regrouped - the same team. None of us even requeued. Back into Fungal Grotto 2 for another run we went.

They'll put the fix in the Crown store.

(Sorry, couldn't help myself).

I guess I'm pretty lucky, I use the LFG feature every day and it pretty much works fine(Xbox NA).

There are times that I get a penalty for no good reason, and I do wish they'd fix that.

Of course, I'm a tank so I get instant queues most of the time.

Draconerus

I'm a healer, but the forced 15 minute debuff is still a pain.

When your group forms by LFG tool and then you get kicked out, you dont have to wait another 15 min to re queue. Just manually port to that dungeon and by the time you complete the dungeon 15min penalty will be over. It's anoying, but for me not a big deal, LFG done the work i needed it to do and that is finding me a group. I can port in by my self.

That doesn't work for random dungeons. That only works with pledges. Also if anyone leaves the group you cannot queue for a replacement.

Group finder has been broken for me since Homestead launch. The last 3 days I cannot get into any groups via this joke of a system. Why do I keep dumping money into this broken game? Addiction is a bad thing and these people know they have addicts, so they keep making money just like a casino that never has to pay out.

Good short term business plan.

PC/NA, last night tried to queue for the Arx Corinium pledge. The group formed, we all got teleported in, but the second we did it told me I wasn't in the group's instance and immediately timed me back out. The same thing happened to everyone else in the group, and once we had all been booted, the group itself was disbanded.

So I tried again. Same result, everyone got teleported in when the ready check passed and then it promptly timed everyone back out. This time the people were aware something was broken and we all just manually wayshrined back to the dungeon and were able to complete it without incident.

After finishing and leaving the group, the game had me listed in an empty queue with no dungeon assigned and had been counting upward for nearly an hour. It let me leave the queue even though there was nothing to actually abandon.

Prior to last night this had all been working just fine, although I don't think I've done a dungeon run since the last patch on Monday.

Happened for us last night, PUG group ran a vet Sewers II, re-queued for vet Arx while we were still on sewers. It said the group was forming, took us out or the sewers but never took us to Arx, showing activity complete.

Tried again with 3 of us (after 4th left in frustration) and same thing, got a 4th, never took us to Arx and showed activity complete. Even travelling there did not help. Had to completely disband the group and queue from scratch.

Are you the guy who made the unofficial skyrim patch? The name matches.

Just queued for pledge. Same thing happened. Kicked from group and got debuff.
