Is LFG fixed yet?

Can we expect some improvements to LFG before holidays on 25th, or should we accept the fact that we will not be using it until some time next year? I would be grateful if we could get some official response to this as I could then focus my attention to something else.

It will be fixed in 2.8.8 patch. lol!

At least this problem listed in know issues. Only thing we can do now is provide as much information as we could, wait and hope that ZOS will fix it soon.

Any news?

Razzak · December 2014

Anything new for this week? In case you were wondering ... it's still not working. Not even a weekend filled with players helped.

Shinon · December 2014

well, i used LFG 2 times now. and both of them i found a group for my dungeon. the first one after a couple seconds. the second one after .. mhm. maybe 15 mins.

AshySamurai · December 2014

UI
It is taking much longer than intended to form a group using the LFG tool.

STATUS: Working on a fix

Known Issues for Update 5

Razzak · December 2014

I am glad it's working for others, but after 6 hours in queue and still no group, I can't say the same.

What lvl were you? Was it for pledges or dungeons? Were you queued for all dungeons or just one?

The limited information it gives you is also a problem. Features that are not verbose at all tend not to be used. People like to be informed about status updates.

Evandus · December 2014

This issue really does need to be addressed. I logged on after work last night and played for about 5 hours. The entire time I tried to cue for a group with no results:

1. Level 46 Nightblade trying to do Blessed Crucible/Vault of Madness/Blackheart Haven.
2. V14 DragonKnight trying to do both daily pledges.

In both cases groups were found eventually exclusively by the aggressive use of zone chat. Meaning spamming zone chat with messages requesting members every 60 seconds.

This tool is still not working.

Ok, thanks everyone. We're passing along all your feedback.

How many time you pass our feedback to devs? All knows, including you and Devs that LAG exist after update 1.3.

Razzak · December 2014

Any news on this? You don't need to make a promise or similar, we all can see how unreliable those are.

Razzak · December 2014

Any news on this? Maybe you should find one person in ZOS that actually plays the game and let her/him tell you how good this current system is. Would that help you in understanding the problem?

diskiukas · December 2014

I used to use LFG constantly, before update. Pre-veterans group used to fill very quickly and I was always DPS, Veterans used to take time, since many people wasn't doing them too often( wasn't any point besides skill point and achievements), but still within an hour group would be formed. Since update I am not able to find a group on any level- tried V14,V10,V2. Lvl 26 -no luck being in queue for hours.

Razzak · January 2015

Any news on this? I know it's not as important as ESO's battle with Lotro, but it's still not working and it would be really nice if it would.

alainjbrennanb16_ESO · January 2015

the lfg is not good u can have that going for hours and not find anyone, everyone does it through chat, it seems pointless to me. maybe having a grouping system like ffxiv has would solve the problem the party finder and bonus for helping other players in low level dungeons or bonuses for redoing the dungeon. i do think it the lfg section had bonuses attacked for each doing and decent gear aimed at ur character would help here

Maybe get it working as well as FFXIV's but don't force down everyone's throats. The main reason FFXIV's is successful is because they force it on you like herpes and everything in that game is bloody instanced. No walking up to a door an entering. No you have to use that every single time. Don't get me wrong it works but I don't want to have to use it even when I'm standing right at the F'ing door.

Ethona · January 2015

LFG is not fix, it does not work, I have waited hours looking for just DPS spots to be filled, and once we were paired with a VR14 player that claim she was in the tool for VR dungeons! It has been nearly a year since the game has release and 2+ months since this thread came about. Stop waiting till major content patch releases to try and fix features that are in game already!!! You guys have zero clue what you're doing with this game, and honestly perhaps you all should ask turbine for some coding help... perhaps carbine... perhaps some fresh college grads that are trying to apply for Microsoft... Stop wasting our time and money with empty multi-month promise fixes and fix this game.

Razzak · January 2015

Any news on this? It would be nice to hear something regarding this terrible design. Even if ZOS's mentality is to not bother with this tool any more, as very few players actually use it.

Give it a rest, @Razzak. When there is news, someone will say so. Bumping a thread without adding anything new to the discussion isn't productive.

Sorry, not going to happen until it is solved. At least I keep my posts short.

Be careful of allowing the forums to influence what you believe

Harleyquincey · January 2015

People say a lot of things if the day is just long enough. Also.. the LFG tool is completely broken still, in case someone wonders. I try it out every now and then but it just doesn't produce a single success, at all - disregarding of how I tweak it or whatever I adjust in it.

I took a break because i was getting tired of spamming LFG and losing skill points because no one is interested in doing normal dungeons. I was told to just skip it all till i hit veteran something i don't want to do.

And before you say 'guilds' i am already in 5 of the most active guilds and i still can not get anyone to do non vet dungeons.

I would like to play again if LFG is fixed, if not then i guess i will go back on break.

Its as broken as the actual inviting to group feature is.

Redacted.

The game has lost at least 75% of its original player base.

You can tell this by things like the number of dead guilds, and how the number of PvP campaigns has shrunk to the point that only 1 of them is every full. Not to mention, they have drastically reduced the number of people that can be in the campaigns.. so the lack of overflow to other campaigns is not a good sign as far as player population is concerned.

Also, the lack of people in Craglorn, the end game zone... It should be overflowing with players. But it isn't. It should be easy to find groups. But it isn't.

And people wonder why there are so many F2P posts. It's because people can see the population has dropped, and people know that F2P is a common move for MMOs to try and boost number of players.

liquid_wolf · January 2015

I've spent a couple of sessions queuing as Tank and Healer with no success.

I think what bothers me the most is there is no feedback. What position am I in? How many groups have been formed in the past five minutes? What roles/classes are needed? Which dungeons are people running currently?

We just need more information given to us to make the LFG tool more appealing.

I don't mind sitting in a queue for 30 minutes if I'm set as DPS, and I can see tanks or healers are needed. I wouldn't feel like the tool isn't working if I could see an estimated time on how long it will take to form a group based on current number of users in the LFG pool.

Valencer · January 2015

I've had no issues using the LFG tool to find groups for low level dungeons like Fungal Grotto or Spindleclutch. Could it perhaps be that the tool just isn't being used enough in the veteran ranks?

I can imagine that people prefer grouping up with people they're familiar with since the vet dungeons got significantly more difficult since update 5. Just a theory
