Maybe group finder was working, I wouldn't know. I don't have 2 hours to wait for a group. I'd rather do normal dungeons that I can solo. The undaunted event was a lot of build up to nothing really. The rewards didn't impress me that much. You get one cosmetic item per day and one undaunted plunder for every dungeon you did thereafter. I'm not paying 500k for anything cosmetic, I don't care what it looks like. Even if I had 10 mil in the bank, it's still a waste of gold for something I'll never use. I totally get why a lot of players didn't participate. In the end it just became a farm-fest running though dungeons to get to the end boss, ignoring everything else.

Congrats for what? For managing to keep the server from collapsing once more? Guess we re going to congrats ZOS for doing the obvious from now on...

Also, the drop rates sucked. In the purple boxes, I got 2 x Troll Kings Battle Axe and 2 x Engine Guardian Greatsword thanks to the wonderful RNG. Also, the loot from the blue boxes sucked even more. It wasnt even worth farming them.

Well they didn't want to put too much stress in their stress test!

Group finder did work better my hat off to ZOS for finally fixing some of the issues with it.

The drop rate and rewards in boxes except the first for the day was terrible. Opal pages felt like a money grab by getting people to buy event tickets.

I had the strangest bugs when trying to queue for dungeons during the event.
First I queued for random normal,waited a few minutes, but then cancelled, as I was planning on having dinner soon.
When I came back (I didn't log out the game), i requeued, but this time i queued specifically for vet spindleclutch 2. I immediately got a popup to join a dungeon, so i pressed accept.
Only to find out i was ported to a random normal dungeon....
Happened twice.

Not long enough. One weekend and not a single day during the week.

Thats because no one wants to do them because of the abysmal drop rates.

Also, the lag has been extra bad as well, but hey, the queue worked, Ill give them that, could queue for battlegrounds all weekend.

Queue was great, but I have to agree about lag. I was very surprised about the lag in the dungeons. Often I couldn't swap weapons to taunt in a timely manner. Didn't really matter most of the time since normal dungeons are so easy and I was leveling a lower level character (so no possibility of harder dungeons). Still, it is not something I normally experience.

It baffles me why they cannot just implement hardware that can easily handle the peak load of the population, and then when the peak isnt there, the game will run even better!

Logic isnt this industries strong suit tho.

TLDR - GF generally worked, rewards weren’t worth the effort, had some interesting experiences pugging

This was my first Undaunted event and although I do agree things went better technically than I expected I was underwhelmed by this Event. I spent quite a bit of time this past weekend PUGing mainly Vet dungeons. Some attempts went fairly smooth getting grouped and some had issues from long delays, game crashes (amongst group members) and strange grouping issues (I confirmed acceptance to a group which immediately disappeared, I then received confirmation to join a group four times in about 30 seconds until it was finally successful).

I also tried to do a daily random dungeon, but cancelled after waiting 20 minutes. I then signed up for a Specific Vet dungeon, waiting about 15 minutes. I got a confirmation to join and was moved into a (different) random normal dungeon!?

Especially given the days prior to the Event when the GF was completely broken and the worst I’ve experienced, the GF was working better thankfully for the Event after (yet another) unplanned patch. Generally it worked however the Event was ... disappointing to me. The rewards were hardly worth the effort. IMO this could have been a Win for ZOS if the rewards were better. Merchant Plunder, Repair Kit, *1* Transmute Crystal, 1 Undaunted Key, Treasure Maps, etc. - all too little and too unimpressive. I wasn’t really impressed by the aesthetics of the Style Pages, or the fact that they seemed to be the primary rewards.

There was one small silver lining for me. I’m not a big fan of pugging and do it rarely, but I did a lot during this event. I actually think my game improved as things clicked into place for me on better teaming. This was done by observing many examples of poor teaming and great teaming. I had teams with <160 that were tight and did well, and I had 1-2 teams of all 810 that were less effective than expected (BTW I’m 650+, DPS, PC/NA).

Hopefully any future Undaunted event will offer more. My biggest gripe really is that obtaining Transmute Crystals IN PVE are wholly insufficient. ZOS please: Offer a greater quantity, better/more sources, or lower the quantity required to transmute.

Wow that was a quick event! that explains why my last two dungeons did not give me any tickets. i assume the event would be longer. LFG worked well 4/5 times. It seemed the healer not accepting in the lfg was the main issue for me but otherwise ok
