    Something is broken, usually the finder don't work well the first day of an new dungeon DLC because all want to try them out.
    Folks

    For what it is worth, the "CRAGLORN" or "Pre-group" fix seems to work.

    Tried last night solo, did Mage guild dailies while I was waiting and bowed out after 20 min or so.

    Headed to Craglorn, saw someone looking for tank. Said yes, they brought in the rest, and we got in within 2 min.

    At that end, 3 of us hung together as a group, someone brought in the fourth, queued for VoM vet, and again got in relatively quickly.

    But tried this morning solo on Group finder, and bowed out after 15mins.
    Yes, I did both dungeons twice the first day and insisted on porting in as I knew finder could be totally broken.
    One year we used finder with an 4 man group at day one of release, finder hang infinite and we could not reset so ported in manually last boss was broken but an wipe solved it.
    But then we could not leave group, so yes.

    But has used finder multiple time later days but always with 4 man groups as in many active guilds.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Sorry, vet queue works? Is that random dungeons or specific dungeons?

    I could live with specific- trying to farm some gear....

    Thanks. For me, decided to get caught up on other stuff, Mage dailies, Scrying stuff, etc.

    I do hope it gets fixed however. Trying to pull together my next "level" of tank, and looking to get some specific gear out of Imp CIty Prison.

    Might switch to my DPS and try - haven't done any of them before - the solo Arenas. That would be new.

    I used random vet on tank and healer with near instant queues. Both grouos seem to be farming something.

    Random vet also working almost immediately with DPS.

  • Bitter_Apple21
    Okay, I am going to try Specific Vet and see what happens.

    Stay tuned
  • Bitter_Apple21
    Okay, vet specific also seems to be working.

    Took about 2 min, and I think the few times I have done vet specific non pledge, that is close.

    So, seems only random is the issue.

    This is one of those things that makes this game feel like it's run on a shoe-string budget. F2P games perform batter than this.

    and those F2P games have much less going on and are not worthy in any aspect to be comparable to ESO. It is why they are F2P to start with. :smiley:


    Not really. GW2 and STO are very active and offer just as rich an experience as ESO. :wink:

    I love GW2's event system. So much fun. And the timers on all the maps for different events they have going all day long. What a great system.

    Group finder still broken. If you queue for a random normal, any role, you will be in queue until you log off or do something else.

    Group finder is still broken for everything except pre made groups. (PC NA)

    Okay, given that specific vet worked for me and random vet worked for others, decided to try specific normal. Decided to explore craglorn on new toon and discover wayshrines he had not been to yet.

    Ran halfway around Craglorn, say 10-15min while queued on Specific normal, and it did not get queued.

    But from the other day, the wayshrine to wayshrine jumps and toon login screens seem effectively back to normal.

    I solo queued for everything I did. The only thing that took a long time was the DLC dungeon on normal. The veteran queues seem much faster. Maybe I was just lucky idk

    Yeah specific vets were around 8 mins for me, specific normals were still 30 mins plus (which is pretty normal for dlc queue for dps)

    It's still broken according to everyone in game zone chat. It did not work for me either.

    I could live with specific- trying to farm some gear....

    It's not per se vet or normal working/not working, in my experience it depends on how many people try to queue, and the more people try to queue the more broken it gets. And since less people queue for vet it marginally working better, but in peak times that gets broken too...

    Hey all, just a heads up that we just posted a thread about this issue right here. We can confirm there are indeed some issues with the Activity Finder, as many of you have noted, and we are actively making some adjustments in an effort to prevent this from occurring again today.

    OK whatever you did to prevent the problem yesterday didn't work. And it still isn't working today. Can you maybe actually FIX the problem? Cause no DF during an event specifically meant to reward things like, I don't know, running DUNGEONS, is really harshing my mellow.

    Yeah last I checked early deas morning random normals don't solo queue you properly.

    I am going to try solo stadia queue later to see if for some reason it working on stadia.

    Nah normal queue didn't work at midnight PC NA as Healer.

    It's not a population issue. Something is just wrong.

    I really hope they fix it for next week when the Jester event starts. Those XP bonuses stacked with scrolls makes those random bonus points stack up so you level incredibly fast.
  • Bitter_Apple21
    Okay, tonight was bad. Did some overland mat harvesting. Went smooth.

    Went to Craglorn to test solution, and picked up group.

    From there downhill. Got punted twice before entering dungeon. In dungeon, got punted 5-6 times. Ui seemed to come up, but selections had no feedback for 30+seconds if any.

    Other players frozen, invisible, etc. Basically server was bogged in processing my inputs and was not responding in normal timeframes. If I picked an item off downed target, it did not move into inventory for 15+ secs. If I waited it eventually worked. If I picked several, got punted.

    Wow....
