Is waiting 10 mins for a dps to join dungeon normal?

FeedbackOnly

While free ESO plus trial is going on?

I think its a quirk of the dungeon finder rather than a lack of dd. I've sat waiting 20 mins plus for a random normal while people are probably half way through a dungeon with 3 people because 1 dropped

Doesn't make sense though with dps already having long queues? Does it make sense to you?

It's a bug, sorry, I mean a feature. Sometimes you need to pass the lead around and let the other group members start the queue. I couldn't tell you how many times I've been in a group of 3 waiting for a dps for minutes on end, only to get an instant queue pop when someone else in the group tried it. It didn't work 100% of the time though and on those occasions I had to resort to begging people to join the group. Didn't make sense then and makes even less sense now.

Would be nice if they recognize such a bug because it happens 100 percent of time

Rowjoh

they have recognised it, same as the combat bug in PVP for example.

Both issues have been around for years and may never be fixed.

At least there is a quick and easy workaround with the group finder issue!

Yeah, it’s strange how we go from some patches Groupfinder works flawlessly, throwing us in groups instantly, to having difficulty finding the most common role.

Really gives the player experiencing it a, “is ESO dead?” Kind of vibe.

Glad you mentioned this too, by the way.

That is why they said it was a quirk with the GF. We know the GF has bugged out before. Sometimes it was the GF itself. Sometimes it might have been the partially pre-made group that bugged out in the GF.

It would be nice if this would be looked at because it's been this way since March last year.

There's no excuse this time though. We just had global reveal while during ESO trial week.

Clearly at least on PC NA it's highlights that issue exists. Replacements is broken still from quarter 2 fixes.

Dps will complain about waiting an hour in queue but nobody can get timely replacements anymore

This bug contributes heavily to the "fake tank/healer" issue too. I would imagine that if this were to be fixed properly and dds knew they could get a group within a minute or 2 of joining the queue as their role, they wouldn't queue up as a tank/healer any longer since the wait for a group wouldn't be ridiculous.

Depends on time of day. At prime time there's way more fps than tanks and healers. I find during off hours more tanks and healers are online in proportion to dps so get faster queues as dps.

The dungeon finder doesn't really work well. In theory no you should never have to wait for a DPS. If DPS are truly waiting hours like some say then the second one leaves a dungeon you should immediately get a new one due to thousands waiting.

When it's working right you might wait a minute or two, if you go more than say 5 the queue is busted and you either won't get one or it will be a long time.

Then there's the group finder bug variant that if you have a pre made group that only needs one DD if the tank or healer has lead and queues it won't match, but if you give the DD lead and have him queue it immediately fills the group. The Group finder need an exorcist at this point not just a hot fix.

I would chip in for an exorcist if it would fix it!

I have definitely experienced that. I think there's something very wrong with getting dps replacements or just into a group.
