WTB Hotfix for Battlegrounds

Grumble_and_Grunt

As it stands right now, we/ anyone as a group can not queue into BG because it says one of the members does not have access to the DLC even though we do. Anyone else found a work around for this at all ? @ZOS_BrianWheeler

Thats not a bug, its the matchmaking system everyone wanted!

We are looking at the group queue'ing issues where it's stating some members don't have access. Within the past 30 minutes or so, we unclogged the BG queue in general so they are firing now on both the EU and NA, but again, the above issue with groups are still being hammered out..

Ask lambert how his BGS are working :^)

Sweet! Thanks for the heads up @ZOS_BrianWheeler will update when able to queue

Wihuri

I had the exact same problem trying to queue as a 2-man group.

ZOS_BrianWheeler

Groups should now be functional but the group queue'ing will be going into a hotfix.

Lolololol

Poliwrath

Grp queue never works properly. Solo queue works but sometimes after you finish BG as you come out , you get deserter penalty for no reason. Good job zos. Hope zos fix those stuffs soon.

Grumble_and_Grunt

Any ETA on hotfix @ZOS_BrianWheeler or when to expect it? Speaking specifically for group queuing.

Yuke

this is not sad but absolutely to be expected

Trashkan

Is it working for anyone yet?

Kilandros

@ZOS_BrianWheeler what's the deal with groups not being able to enter Battlegrounds? When is the hotfix? We did pay for this DLC, after all. If you aren't going to ship a working product, at least tell us when we can expect it to function as advertised.

I haev to push the queue button a hundred times before it actually works, it just doenst react.

second of all it seems that for hours people decline their invitation which isnt true.

fix ur stuff pls @zos

ZOS_BrianWheeler

They're going through tests today and should hopefully have the hot-fix for grouping up tomorrow. We are also looking into the spamming the queue button and why matches are firing underpopulated.

Thanks for the quick responce!

Not to mince terminology here but if you're taking servers down to apply a fix, then it isn't a "hot fix." It's an off-cycle patch.

Grumble_and_Grunt

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_BrianWheeler Woohoo!

ZOS_BrianWheeler

Initially the servers weren't going to go down @lonewolf26 which is why it was initially stated as a hotfix. Sometimes things require more work than initially spec'd out.

lonewolf26

I understand that @ZOS_BrianWheeler. I work in software development as well. Sometimes we cannot deliver what was promised due to unforeseen circumstances. In this case it would be best to change the terminology as soon as it was discovered that work exceeded the expectation. In calling it a Hot Fix, players will be disappointed tomorrow to find out that they can't log in, expecting the Hot Fix not to impact service availability. It's about setting expectations even if we could not deliver as we were hoping.

/sigh Any chance that sometimes these patches could be started later in your day (8am, 10am even). They're ALWAYS in Australian primetime...

Would be fantastic to have an estimate on time for this, is it like feed the kids spaghetti-o's patch or cook a turkey dinner patch?

Hi everyone,

Tomorrow, May 24 beginning at 6:00am EDT, we’ll be bringing the PC North American and European megaservers down for maintenance to apply a hotfix. This will contain several improvements for the current issue where you’re unable to queue for a Battleground while in a group.

We expect this maintenance to last approximately 3 hours. Once complete, please let us know if you continue running into this issue. Thank you!

so 3 hours

Grumble_and_Grunt

@ZOS_BrianWheeler

Been trying for like 40 mins or so now on EU, trying to group as a 4 then every time we get to the forming group we receive the message 'Someone declined the invite. You were placed at the front of queue' Assuming we got past the 'Waiting for players: 1' and we just cycle through this endlessly, curious also as to when the original 'Waiting for players' ready check happens it's never at 12 for full groups in the lobby.

Also tried as a 3 man, any other groups been able to get into a game? Any work around someone figured out ?

We literally can not get into a game

Edit: In one attempt someone in our group didn't receive ready check notification, but every one else in our group did and end result was the same, maybe related?

Edit: Finally got into a game

Yuke

We (Kitesquad) managed to get into one BG with three people and had nice fights against an UF premade group. After that we had the same problem like you guys (waiting for players, someone declined blahblah) for 40 minutes and just said *** it and went cyrodiil to see "the beauty" of bigboss' nightcapping.

Yeah we've been in one game of CTF and Anne even got kicked for inactivity cause we played defensively on our relic, she was so mad, 50 mins queue to be kicked in a matter of 2 mins for a game that literally lasted around 6 mins or so

Been queued ever since still no game

Araviel2

i tried to solo que for 12 hours today only to get the "waiting for players, someone declined" message over and over again.
i guess some people que up and then go just afk.
but if someone repeatably denies invites they need to be cleaned out of the que so it does not get bloated whit a bunch of afk people.

Takllin

@ZOS_GinaBruno queue's are still broken in a different way.
