i know this must be mentioned alot but finding functional groups for vet dungeons is harder then the dungeon itself. Why cant you just make a recruitment section in the forums where we could all post to find a specific class and lvl for said group. Group finder is only bad because not enough people queue up for it because of how bad everyone thinks it is. i feel like this is a huge problem for people who dont have active guild mates and people who just dont have friends that play this. i love this game but spending hours on end trying to teach someone how to be an effective player in their role while their vet rank is just exhausting and aggravating an effective LFG system in these forums would make the this game so much more enjoyable and bareable.

Destiny allowed the use of the forums for Group Finding, They created one thread and all you had to do was specify your level, what raid you were going to do and what platform you were on, it worked a dream.

I'll reiterate the same thing I said in the destiny forums. There should be an effective lfg in game. We should not have to depend on outside sources for this. Though ZOS doesn't seem to be doing much about it. An ESO lfg site would be nice.

You sir have been miss-informed. @ZOS_RichLambert himself has /lurked and recognised change needs to take place and that it is genuinely being looked in to.

And to the OP. Starting a thread, in caps, complaining does not assist you in your cause to find a meaningful resolution

In about 6 months it should be fixed. Doesn't do much for anyone...

That it did. Still works incredibly well and you find a group in literally seconds after you post. I've been saying forever that eso needs a damn app like that. Makes life so much easier.

The grouping tools work in one form just not in an awesome way for dungeons at least.
I queue for any and bam I'm getting groups in less than 15 mins (on Xbox one).

Levels 20- VR11 seem fine but queuing for specifics doesn't seem to work or if queuing and not solo it doesn't seem to work.
Some major changes would be welcomed but there was a time on PC where it worked for months just fine

Pretty sure they've been looking into lfg tool for over a year. We should just give up with these threads nothing is changing

Finding a "functional" group isn't as simple as combining all close level levels. If people don't know how to effectively perform their role, you will still have issues. By fulfilling their role I don't mean Max DPS or max healing. I mean someone doing the things they should be doing, not standing in AOE's, blocking, dpsing. This game isn't designed for people to just stand in one spot.

People also rely on healers way to much in this game. They stand in the AOE"s screaming "HEAL!".....

I need to start yelling back "GET OUTA THE AOE AND YOU WON'T NEED A HEAL!"....

Lolz.. hear that.

Add in the guys who queue up as "Heals" for a group. Once they get in group, "OK, you are on heals." "What? Oh, I just put that up so I could find a group faster. I am Bow/2H DPS. I will keep you alive with my awesome DPS."

Seems a best practice to meet a few ppl you actually like playing with and journey with them

Basically a circle of 10-30 ppl should cover it but ppl play at diff times so the grouping tools added successful functionality would be a plus. Pugs aren't bad unless unrealistic expectations are applied.

Just have fun and communicate...sometimes ppl will need to be replaced
Grouping tools is lacking tho overall now. Not sure what changes are messing it up but any dungeon (solo) seems to be the only success on Xbox.

I know on PC ppl refuse to use it in masses so that's another topic

Yeeessshh

Oh yeah, I don't run dungeons anymore as Cyrodil is my home away from home now. And on the rare occasion I do run one, it's with people I've gamed with for sure.

Someone geeky should make a webpage for all the people that will causally help out with any dungeon . Something we can log onto, set an available status. So anyone that needs party members can know those people are willing to help or something. I dunno. I'm just a guy with a blue berry muffin and a keyboard. Though if you need a healer I'll do it. Whatever. As long as I can nom my muffin.

Matt furor just said at Quakecon that the LFG tool will be expanded to include all factions and cross faction dungeon runs which will be coming... Soon(TM)
