STOP WITH THE BATTLEGROUNDS LEAVER BAN!

If you leave a battlegrounds you can't join another one for 20 minutes. This is the most *** thing in the game hands down, I enter a bugged instance so often it's not even funny. Like, I have to wait in a queue to join a battleground, wait 5 minutes just to realize that it's bugged and another 20 minutes to join another one...really?!?! Especially considering that players can just pop in to replace those who leave.

gootdude✭✭✭The lockout is for that character only, just use another character or learn to be patient since it's only 20 minutes.9 -
Oberstein✭✭✭another thing is battleground match starts when your team got 3 member including you and other 2 team is like 4 and 4 members.History, like a human being, is thirsty when it wakes from its slumber…History wants to drink up an enormous amount of blood. And even if history has tired of drinking blood, that’s only in regards to the amount. But what about quality? The larger the sacrifice is, the more delighted the cruel gods will be.6 -

Or how about they just get their act together and fix this nonsense? It's atrocious how long this bugged battlegrounds issue persists without Zenimax fixing it, its not as if BG's were released last week.20 -

Exactly. I've had 3 back to back bugged instances many times before. Like over an hour lost doing absolutely nothing.PC NA - @Solohope8 -

Taunky✭✭✭✭✭I've never experienced a "bugged instance" so I'm just going to leave this here.

You queue into a BG(which by the way is a victory in and of itself these days 48minutes for a queue yesterday).
You get there and one team is stuck at only 2 players.
It never starts, one person leaves, another enters, but that team never gets 36 -
DarkerDreams✭✭✭It bugs out where one team, it's always green every time it happens to me not sure about others, will only ever have 2 players. No matter how long you wait it will never fill that team past 2 players and therefore the match will never start. Your only option is to leave and take the 20 minute penalty.2 -

✭Every single time I've ever entered a battleground that had less than 4 players on a team(s), the others eventually come if you simply STAY in the battleground. Try it out next time. I've (and my brother and his wife, and we all play on different platforms) been playing BGs nearly every single day since they were released, and not one single time has this happened to me. What has happened, however, is players that are entering the queue later than the others. You will not see this if you simply just leave the battleground and incur the leaver penalty. That's entirely on you.Edited by dimensional on February 11, 2019 5:15PM1 -

This doesn't work for this glitch, I've waited for over 45 minutes before leaving10 -

Wrong, it works perfectly the vast majority of the time. Hiccups are very minor and rare, and this running gag about the activity finder is both factually incorrect and childish.1 -

Take a video and prove it, send it to ZOS. Or do you not want the problem resolved? They need more data to fix bugs and if you don't supply it, you're not really helping.0 -

You seem very oppositional, this isn't my thread, I just have experienced the same thing as the poster, as have many others. Why are you so convinced that your experience is universal? Life doesn't work that way amigo.16 -

That dosen't work in that case. This "bugged instance" has been a known and long acknowledged bug for months now. I tried to stay once... it was more than an hour until I got too bored with only chatting with guildies and not playing anymore. The thing is, the instance stays open until EVERY player from each team leaves before new players can join in. And there is ALWAYS someone (like you
) that still has hope and stays, keeping the instance open. Once I even queued into a bugged instance, left, played some others BGs and after some hours I queued into the same bugged instance again, which had been open a couple hours at this point. 2 -

✭I've waited in that bug for more than half an hour and watched multiple folks leave and come in and one team never got enough to start the match. It might be fun the first time of being stuck in a private Emote show off party but the 20 minute ban afterwords just pisses you off.
If it has gotten worse then it needs to be fixed.Edited by Casdha on February 11, 2019 5:25PMProud member of the Psijic Order - The first wave - The 0.016%1 -

✭I've been playing battlegrounds almost daily since they launched and have never had a "bugged instance" like you've described. Try taking some video next time and sending it to ZOS, they use stuff like that to fix bugs and it is well documented on this forum that video recordings help them tremendously. Or maybe it's not that serious of an issue...1 -

✭✭✭I've had two instances of bugged battlegrounds.Looking for any guildies I used to play with:
Havoc Warhammer - Alair
LoC EQ2 - Mayi and Iskiab
PRX and Tabula Rasa - Rift - Iskiab
Or anyone else I used to play games with in guilds I’ve forgotten0 -
justinbarrett✭✭✭I'm glad people get locked out for leaving(should be 30 min)....there are far too many spoiled players who cannot be bothered with "losing"...so when things are going poorly they bail.......kids today(and adult kids) never learned how to lose...
BTW leaving a battle ground because you are losing, is still losing.
stay classy and hang in there.....it is dishonorable to bail.0 -

LoL once again. Your experience is your experience, are you really that bored that you came here just to shout at people who are having issues with the game?
How do you know we haven't sent videos? You certainly make a lot of assumptions.3 -

this. there is a difference between leaving a bg because you are on a losing team or something and being forced to leave, becasue the BG is bugged and refuses to start all together. you should NOT be penalized for a broken queue.dirty worthless casual.

Mintaka5✭✭✭✭✭No! You should be penalized for leaving a match, on which your teammates depend on having a full team. Honestly, if you think this is so horrible, try bailing on 3 matches in Overwatch, and you get suspended from competitive play for hours if not a whole day.0
