Dungeon Finder not working!!!

ValeofAryan

Same here PC/Europe.

We have had a full group of 4 for over 30 minutes right now.

It takes around 10 minutes for the message pop up to select your role. Everyone selects. Then it says, forming group and right after that, someone in your group has declined. It has been doing that for over 30 minutes now.

Everyone is zone is having the same problems. Folks tried of not getting a queue make a group and it's just an epic fail.

I'm sorry to say, cause I normally defend companies to a fault on many things, but come on. This happened last year as well. It happens almost every event where the dungeon finder suddenly gets used more than normal as well. This issue also comes up sometimes during non festival times as well. How is this is till a thing and not prepared for coming into a festival "celebrating" doing dungeons.

Not 100% sure this works but it may be worth a try

Has a group go to somebodies house and try queuing from there.

Have been told that this works better cause there is less interference.

Not tried it myself but may be worth a go.

Oh, great it was becoming too boring and calm here, now there will be new OUTRAGE!!!

its not like we have not been experiencing problems for the last, oh i dont even know how long with it,
now you create an event that is dependent on it and guess what,

Creating a group is laggy, takes like 10 min after invite accepted to put you in to group,
Then we experienced pretty much what everyone else is saying,

îts the same problem that we had last year .... cant you just fix it like last year ? O,o

You can check the results of the last year investigation.
Same stuff, same event.

Every event is the same. The slightest bit of extra load and the group finder dies.

Group finder has been broken since the beginning... How can this not be high up the priority list to be fixed considering so many people use it?

It's sad that player feedback is even needed. After last year I would expect the devs to monitor everything closely, especially at the beginning of the event.

I have temporary fix, postpone the event to later date, work on changing the additional reward to be coming from pledges instead of random normal.

It is not hard to reach lvl 45+ nowadays (since that is the lvl you need to start doing pledges) so I assume it wouldn't be a problem for even new players (also that is why I would postpone the event).

Also never again use dungeon finder + event combination, as it is causing issues and discomfort for us and will probably for you all as people will yell (tbh I also wanna do it but I knew it would happen, so I kinda am mentally prepared... looking back to previous undaunted event it is pretty much same thing happening).

probably because people gave up on the event and no one could be bothered to queue anymore

The same way you frelling "investigated" this one?

https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/431731/group-finder-is-broken/p1

That bug has never been fixed. It has never been addressed in any patch update. It has been around for a long time now, and it just was a bit less bad sometimes.
It even has a nice GIF to let you know what is happening - for BGs but it's the same for dungeons.
You could have known about this for months now. You should have, given that you actually posted in that thread.

Seriously, I'm speechless.

"Stability is a sign of mastery", they say...

Literally EVERYBODY except the geniuses at ZOS saw that coming.

Month after month went by with the f-ing thing not working during prime time (so most likely a capacity problem) and NOTHING was done.

Good job, really good job.

And now they pretend to be surprised? Embarrasing...

Oh no, you're not right. The made even worse, since the patch where you lost the ability to choose multiple group roles.

Dungeon Finder is dead!

FierceSam

I have an exciting new variation from the US - you randomly queue, eventually (>40 mins) get into City of Ash only to find THERE ARE NO MONSTERS. You are then ported back and kicked from the queue. Awe and some

Can you tell the programming staff, that these issues with the group finder (and the battleground grouptool too) already exists since it was implemented? And that investigating it now, that the event started, might be a lottle too late?

notyuu

@ZOS_GinaBruno how about...instead of tying the rewards to the group finder, because we all know that's not gonna work..I mean last year the finder broke...and never got fixed

how..about
you put the Mysterious reward box as a drop from the dungeon final boss..that way we can take part and get rewards without..ya know...getting screwed over by the fact that PC-EU runs on a literal potato

Does the Dungeon Finder work if you select a specific dungeon or dungeons?

To be fair, there have been 4 major updates to the game since the last dungeon event. It's possible that one of those updates broke whatever fix they had in place and without the volume of stress this event provides they were unaware of the issue until now. This is a huge game and any little thing can break it.

The group finder has the entire year been buggy as hell ...
Refactor it please and stop blowing out new features and fix old problems instead. Feels like talking to Microsoft.

I have a theory - at least for the pre-event buggy behaviour - that the GF is running more then one election routine at the same time for one group.
You see the one failing but not the others interfering from the background.

e.g. I have had it several times that GF error messages appeared when it wasn't active anymore.

Often you notice the GF to state one player declined after 38 seconds. Even when one player intentionally didn't accept to see if it fails automagically.

Yep can confirm random grp finder tool is not letting you get into a dungeon......

Even with full group of 4 Dungeon finder won't working.

How is it not working? Are you queuing with a group of 4, and a dungeon just isn't popping?

Just don't act like surprised, please.... Happened last year same thing and everyone expected to be happen again. This bug occurs too often even without event. What about the people who are night shift in few hours and can't do their chars today?
