    You do plan to have dungeons in your dungeon event, right?

    For those of us on PC EU it is now 5:30 in the afternoon, since you decided to go with the downright daft implementation of a 20 hr cooldown system instead of a fixed daily reset, the longer it takes to finish this group tool problem, the longer we will have to wait tomorrow to be able to get another box.

    This is exactly why we have requested fixed daily resets instead of going with the 20 hr cooldown which only brings a million headaches instead ..

    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?

    Premade group with the appropriate roles, it´s just a never ending queue. And we get repeatedly the message that one group member has declined even if that´s not the case. Like last time when there has been a dungeon event and the random dungeon finder didn´t work.

    To be honest, I´m not surprised.

    I just want to know why things like this keep happening. Is data simply not being monitored and analyzed at ZOS?

    Data, especially in a game as massive as ESO, is such a beautiful thing. It can be monitored, analyzed, and used to fix problems and prevent them from happening again.

    Take for example the Group Finder bug which happened last year. There should have been so much data gathered from that event that the team could prevent it from happening this year (they had a year to work on it).

    The fact that it is happening again makes me sad and confused. This is exactly why we have and use data. To monitor. To analyze. To learn. To improve.

    ZOS failed to do that, which makes me wonder what (and if) they are even looking at.

    It has ben a known issue for over a year that GF has not worked properly. When 4 people queue for a dungeon and it keeps repeatedly saying someone declined, when they obviously did not, something is very wrong with how it is setup.

    Many threads have been created on this subject, especially in recent months though it has not gotten worse since this issue was introduced over a year ago.

    Below is just one that you were tagged in explaining the issue in as much detail as one probably can.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they simply cannot fix the dungeon finder. Some intern probably cobbled it together years ago and later left the company. Same with the atrocious guild trader interface. I wonder if they have any engine coders left or just a bunch of script copy&pasters for new expansions.

    Feigning ignorance, as if this wasn't happening every event that somehow involves the dungeon finder, doesn't exactly instill much confidence either.

    This bug is 4 months old and more people on the forums already said there was. You really waited the event that involve the usage of your toll to notice that? I also made a post few days ago talking about it, completely ignored.

    I don't know but you should listen to players that list bugs.

    Thanks for the info, everyone. We're investigating.

    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?

    That's funny because this was my first ESO event when I started my adventure a year ago and this time around I was already wondering if group finder will break once again. Makes me wonder how dev team wasn't as curious as I was...

    Tool dont work with a pre made grp ( anyone decline everytime but no one do this all accecpt ), after you stuck in the Queue!

    Same as when you go alone in the finder.

    Fazit: Tool dont work!

    And no statment from ZOS.

    tbh i am bit stunnned, that u have to investigate into this now and even had to ask what problems the group finder would have.

    its the same bug from last year, and it hasnt been fixed since then. at least for pc eu the group finder had that problems before this event started as well. someone must have installed an groupfinder-report-filter into ur inboxes and into the forums for the people from zos. so here it is:

    surprise surprise. the group finder is broken.

    Exact same issues as last year's undaunted event.
    Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.
