Seriously, it's so confusing... Does it even work?

Dungeon mode: Regular, Veteran
Group activity type: Dungeon, Veteran dungeon.

Why are there 2 variables for veteran dungeon? I am so confused! Do I use Regular, Veteran dungeon? Veteran Dungeon, veteran? Regular, regular dungeon?

Please, someone help

    you can chose either a vet dungeon or reg dungeon vet dungeons are a continuation of that said dungeon and harder to complete than the regular dungeon if this doesn't help can you clarify what you mean

    Edit: or did you mean about your dungeon level? and being able to pick veteran dungeon and regular dungeon?
    because whatever your settings is on is what the dungeon will be where as vet or nonvet as I understand it

    I am on PS4, and so perhaps it is different, but I only get the option for Regular, OR Veteran. I have never seen these additional options you mentioned.

    You rang?

    Alright, the options are the same on PC, but they look different due to the UI difference. (I have PS4 and PC versions)

    If you want to do a regular dungeon select Dungeon mode regular, group activity type dungeon.

    If you want to do a veteran dungeon select dungeon mode veteran, group activity veteran dungeons.

    Those have worked for me. I do also think it's really confusing... in my head though if you select a dungeon mode regular and group activity veteran dungeon that contradicts itself... :(

    If you don't know the difference between a normal and veteran dungeon (the mob level has nothing to do with it) just give me a ping again.

    EDIT - I THINK the reason they have both option is because the dungeon mode is a selection in your party window... it's weird.

    @MissBizz
    How successful have your group finder missions been? I have yet to see anyone to group with, much less done a dungeon with a group from group finder Usually, I give up after 5 min of it searching.. searching.. searching..
    Power level to CP160 in a week:
    Where is the end game? You just played it.
    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.

    @Darlgon I haven't used it for awhile (although did in1.6) I just haven't had a need for it since. On PC it worked, although took an hour or so. Of course sometimes it didn't work, and sometimes it bugged out and only put us in a group of 3.

    I tried it on PS4 a few weeks after that launch and it worked. Really only tried once though.

    If people are only trying for 5 minutes that would explain why it takes awhile.. Because no one is in queue for it to actually work. I would turn it on and go do my thing.

    Yeah..thats pretty much my issue with using it.. All it seems to let you do is sit and watch the screen. I have too much else I can do without just sitting praying for a group to form. It needs a way to continue searching when you close it.

    It does continue searching. Literially put yourself in the que and close the menu and continue questing etc and it'll make the notification noise once you join a group. If you go back into the menu you'll notice it still has you in a que.

    Ps4 btw

    @Darlgon ... notice how I said "I start it and go do my thing" it DOES keep searching while you do stuff.. when you reopen it you still see that it's searching. Even gives you a notification when it finds you a group.

    I have followed your suggestion, and it worked wonderfully... With some strings attached... Our group was assigned a nightblade healer who actually had no interest/capability of healing, broke apart and everyone left so I was back at square one! :P
