Queues are still Broken. No fix in hotpatch at all.

I've try all the evening with three friends and we could not join a single BG. We try to join solo, 2, 3, 4 man grp and nothing. Yesterday, at last, we could have joined the BG if not grouped. I hope you can fix this asap.

Well i'll just add my 2 cents. Got home from work at 4:15 excited to try the new fix. Spent about 20 min getting a group together and ready to go. Grouped up and queued for BG's. Took 8min to find the first match, got to the forming group part after everyone accepted the queue. Then got the message "Someone declined invitation, moving you to front of queue." This repeated 5 or 6 times. After and hour we gave up without doing a single Battle Ground we gave up.

@ZOS_GinaBruno My most common problem with quenes for battlegrounds are infinite loading screens that i get into. I can see my team then after 5-10 seconds I have a sudden loading screen again that lasts for 5-10 min. Mostly I get dc'd and crash. But sometimes after 5 min I get back into the match while the other players already started 5 minutes ago. It's clearly something that needs to be solved first hand!

(On top of that, the times i dc or crash, i get the 12 minutes penalty that counts it as a forfeit).

when the whole world watches zos be bad at their jobs my question is does anyone ever get fired. outsource the group finder issues to another company if you can't handle it. JS

also the issue seems to be load-related.
queues are buggy, but while at primetime it was pretty much impossible to get in, at off-times it is very possible (while still buggy, ofc)

same as the dungeon finder for dailiers- its just a broken system. there are hundreds of people queued all over and LFG- but the system it used to group and sort people is so broken. they should be embarrasses. some of my friends tried eso for the first time today- BG's being the impetus- after about 45 minutes of waiting and not a single game- they all came to the same consensus- lets play LOL or DOTA - 2 minutes from loading the game til first match- and continuous gameplay for hours- interrupted.

you can't blame em. with out wait times- our penalties , and our broken finder and not to mention balance- ZOS is doing a great job of making this game hard for me to love much longer. fixes like this shouldn't take 3 months . 6 months, etc- its been broken since homestead! it should be repaired ASAP- within a week! instead they priorities crates and crap.

Tried to queue with 1, then 2 friends yesterday(after the "hotfix"), no go for ~half an hour. Gave up, tried solo, after like 5 more mins of "someone declined the invitation" it finally worked...only to put me in 2v3v4 Deathmarch. That didn't go well.

So it seems still no queueing of premades and no 4v4v4. I think I'll just stick to housing until this sh*t gets sorted out - if ever.

@ZOS_GinaBruno , the "someone declined the invitation, you've been placed at the start of the queue" message in the "forming group" stage definitely doesn't seem to be working as intended. Otherwise it's a pretty shocking coincidence that after like ~100 popups we got with 2-3 of us there'd always be someone declining yet when we queued alone we were able to get a group within ~5 mins, and then again, and again. This is not on your "known issue" thread either.

Yup - now impossible to get in in any way. Please fix Zos.

Its really frustrating. I'm a positive guy and usually the "lets give the devs a bit of time to fix it"-guy, but this queue-bug is really, really, REALLY frustrating.

Spend one hour (ONE HOUR) in the solo queue, got a gazillion invites - and every sime tingle time it says" some player declined" message. After one hour i gave up. Yesterday? After a few hours i gave up. Tomorrow? Dont know if i will give it a try. I've got a job, family, a cute dog - there are better things to do than just clicking stupidly the "accept"-button, knowing that nothing will happen.

Just joined a BG. Was finally able to port in! I typed in chat "Wow it actually worked!!" But then.... loading screen.... back in game again, and again a loading screen....

Please remind me someone why I paid money for a non functional product? Are we too forgiving of such companies simply because we enjoy their games? In any other industry, area of work you release a faulty product or release an incomplete product because you were unable to meet your deadlines heads will roll.

This is just one side effect of having a closed PTS, too small a sample size to test queues.

Good. Hopefully they stay permanently away from this game. MOBA's are a cancer upon gaming and their communities should be permanently and preemptively banned from every other game that has or ever will exist.

Seriously. ESO is better off without your friends.

Agreed. New people should always be shunned. It is much safer if we stay in our bubble.

Its the Z0$ way....

I think that too many consumers are happy when they purchase from Zenimax and it doesn't work - Too many people are quick to excuse incompetence, which Z0$ repeats over and over and over.

We made some improvements to that yesterday, but are still hammering on it to make it better.

See right there is the problem with ZoS coders and why nothing wil ever work as intended.
