I always thought this is what happens when players don't respond to the dungeon queue. If that's the case: not sure what they could do to "fix" it? They can't force players to hit ready when the queue comes up. It can be annoying, especially when it happens steadily (which you're right, it often does). But I'm not sure this is a bug or something the developers can really do anything about.

Also: just a heads up - but the people who run this site are very touchy when it comes to the word "incompetence" (I know this from experience). So you might want to edit your OP a little. ^^

Yeah no, this also happens with pre-formed groups when everyone is for a fact hitting Accept. It was a HUGE issue during the last Undaunted event, to the point that they allowed people to get the Undaunted reward boxes during New Life once per day thanks to so many people being unable to get around that bug to do their Undaunted dailies for the rewards. It was a huge enough issue that as someone else already mentioned, ZOS issued an official apology about it and said they wouldn't hold any further events that relied on the LFG tool until it was fixed.

Yet here we are, a few weeks from an event that will heavily rely on the LFG tool, and it's still broken/having problems.

I've never had this happen to me in a pre-formed group. I'm not saying it doesn't. But I've just never seen it.

It is definitely broken right now. I was in a premade. Everyone was confirming. It even advanced to the "forming group" phase which you would only see after all 4 confirm. Then it would just give the failed to form group message repeatedly over and over, each time asking us to press F only to repeat the "forming group" then the error again.

Certainly some number of issues are caused by players actually declining or afk or whatnot. The problems many are seeing here are not that issue but a problem with the system.

I highly doubt 20+ players declined the invite in a row, and that multiple people had the same problem at the same time in zone chat.

Truth hurts. They either need to fix old bugs, or deal with the heat.

Yeah, people actually decline the queue. Imagine that.

I'm not saying declining can't, or shouldn't happen. I'm saying the number of declines in a row I received, while people in zone were complaining about the exact same thing at the same time was very suspicious. The dungeon finder was working okay during the day, but then all of a sudden everyone started complaining about it at the same time.
Does that not sound odd to you?

You must queue as tank. You probably queued as dps and as you know by now that just doesnt work..

I was queued as a tank. I wouldn't even dare queueing as a dps in the evening

Are you doing normals or vet?
For normals I can get in quickly with my healer. If im trying for vet (also as healer) it will take longer and there are more declined invites. But I dont ever bother tryimg to get in as a DPS.

I was doing vet for the undaunted exp, so I didn't try normals at all. I was queueing as a tank yesterday, and as you can imagine, I generally get into dungeons immediately with no problems.. which I did for a while, until something broke.

Claiming incompetence implies the accuser has a better understanding of the issue than the accused.

I'm not seeing you fixing the Group Finder.

If you really must make me pull out a dictionary.

noun
inability to do something successfully; ineptitude.

Righto, well it says no where that I must have a better understanding, but it does say "inability to do something successfully". Now they attempted to fix this, but evidently it didn't go as successfully as they had planned, and yet again made sure their buggy LFG was used for the anniversary event. Once you remove your lips from their behind, please tell me how this is not incompetence.

It happens to me/us everyday. Its part of the ritual now. In fact, it's common enough that should one of us need to decline for some reason we vocalize that because every "someone declined..." message is assumed to be an error.

We get the same error for BGs as well.

There is definitely an error on their end.

Sanguinor2

It is a well known issue at this Point, I dont even know why I try to Queue for bgs at later times, I should know by now that it wont work.
Currently sitting in a 35 min Queue of constant declines, that just must be everyone declining because no one that Queues for bgs actually wants to Play them (sarcasm in case you cannot tell).

it's not addons. I Never get this problem between 6 and 10 BST but after 19:00 it's total havoc. logic dictates that once a group is formed there can not be any refusal although once you enter the instance you can leave group which of course does not disband (unless 3 leave)

*Sarcasm on*
If a bug persist for over 6 months time it is loosing the status of being bug, instead it becomes a feature.
*Sarcasm off*

They managed to make it work a while back, however recent new wave of fresh players might have caused once again (especially on weekends) some issues related to queue's. My guess is queue's got certain capacity and it brakes when 2 many people try to queue. That means it is indeed badly designed cause most players wanna play without issues on weekends and capacity should be well enough to fit all of them on demand.

Zer0oo

I find it quite funny that some actually thing that players are pressing decline. It is bugged and ZOS did admit last undaunted event that it is broken.

Since ages the queue on PC EU breaks completely during prime time and we get no comment from the devs about this.

todokete

There should be a penalty for people who decline to be honest. It will improve a lot

Sanguinor2

Update: gave up after 1h and 30 mins of queueing for a random bg with multiple Restarts, probably will have psijic maxed before finding one bg.

Fischblut

In fact, it's common enough that should one of us need to decline for some reason we vocalize that because every "someone declined..." message is assumed to be an error.

But in 4 man premade group, if one person really declines, the whole group instantly exits the queue and leader must manually enter the queue again Only if group finder itself declines while all group members actually pressed "ready", you get error message and stay in queue.

I recorded one of endless "ready check" situations The only difference between dungeon and battleground queue bug for me, is: dungeon queue takes much more time between prompting a "ready check" after "someone declined"...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btxCvYiab28

On this video, it was 11 p.m, not on weekend, and also example how the group finder "declines" even when it's already "forming group".

D0PAMINE

Last night I had to port in with a full premade. Random Vet was not working and we didn't have time to sit and wait. No one was hitting decline.

Nebthet78

If this was happening for a DLC dungeon que, the error comes up most often because the system is taking the first player in line and trying to put them in the que, even if they don't actually have the DLC. I tested this with guildmates who were getting the same problem frequently. So I had them make a 3 person pre-made and they all had the DLC and then I came in at the 4th pre-made and I didn't have the DLC at the time... The same error message came up over and over again... Then I purchased the DLC... and we all got in.

It seems ZOS's system makes no differentiation between whether a player has the DLC dungeon or not until they go to form the group.

Now if it's happening a lot on the base game dungeons, then that is the Player not responding.

This has been a issue since last years undaunted event
They said they fixed it but it still plagues the game. I've only noticed it's been getting worse as if late.

Artim_X

The dungeon finder seems to be working on PC NA not sure if this is an EU or console issue. A few days ago I completed 3 random normals with a friend and the queue was instant for all of them (I was the tank and they queued as DPS). Did 4 random normals yesterday 3 times as a tank (instant queue) and once as a DPS (20 min queue). Did a specific vet dungeon today as a healer that wasn't a pledge and only had to wait around 10 minutes before the ready prompt showed up.

Sometimes the ready check will pop in and out before placing me into a dungeon. When this happens I usually assume that someone is afk or in combat, but it has been a long time since I've seen it completely not work.

The event doesn’t *rely* on group finder at all.

People use it to taxi them to a dungeon, for a bit of a buff, and to manage the normal/vet setting for them. This is not necessary to complete pledges.

It's not broken all day round or anything. It's generally the evenings when it's at its worst. But the times that it is bugged, you can't do anything with it.

ThePlayer

After all these post about group finder broken they will answer back in 3 weeks by saying something like that:
"Sorry we were not aware of the problem" "We will now try to fix it for 2-3 days"
Repeat

sudaki_eso

Dont worry guys, since ZOS said that there wont be any events including the dungeon finder until it get fixed, expect a working group finder in two weeks

I don't even get that, lately, lol.

I join the queue and literally nothing happens, for ages.

I then forget I'm queued and end up joining another group to do something else and then remember I was supposed to be queued for a dungeon.

Only time I get to do dungeons, these days, is in pre-made groups (whether partial, or otherwise).
