Failed Group System

Treaborne · November 2015

Tested out the new grouping system tonight, it worked excellent!

Actually it was very terrible!

Myself being lv47 was paired with 3 level 15 characters, and the dungeon scaled to VR16 making it impossible to get any experience or clear the dungeon!

FIX THIS PLEASE!!! :'( :'( :'( :'(

WHERE ARE THE FISHY STICKS!!!!!!

What dungeon did u do?

It shouldn't have given you nothing, but they do auto scale you, that's a thing now.

Also when reque there was no notice to teleport us to dungeon using the finder.

It still scaled the dungeon to VR16 but still no experience or the experience was just too little to notice it.

Killing bosses granted some experience though....

I'm guessing you didn't bother to try to clear the dungeon, because if you had you probably would have realized that you were getting both XP and loot from mobs (and bosses).

Groups formed with the group finder tool now battle level everyone to VR16, and scale the dungeon to VR16. That way groups can be formed much more quickly. I've tried it on a level 18 character with no champion points - I was the highest level in my group, and we got through the VR16-scaled dungeon with no deaths. Got XP and loot just as if the dungeon was scaled to level 18. And in today's patch they buffed the amount of damage scaled-up low levels do, so you should have had an easier time of it today than last week.

Two dungeons completed, couldn't finish Tempest though since last boss was near impossible to get past 75% let alone stay alive through her constant charging 1-shots.

And yes there was loot, I don't recall saying there was none.

The Tempest group was myself lv47, a VR1, VR5, and VR12.

We had fun though and enjoyed it the best we could... But I still think DUO group in a dungeon is far more fun todo.

To me it seemed easier walking into a normally scaled to leader dungeon, then it was doing the VR16 scaled dungeons.

Only really noticed my Experience bar moving after killing a boss. Maybe trash mobs were giving experience, but I did not notice it.

It did auto scale to VR16 but stats still seemed a little bit weak all around.

No, but you said you weren't getting any XP. If you were getting loot then you should have known you were getting XP. If you're outside the range of getting XP from mobs/bosses then you never get loot from them except for things like hide scraps.

Standing right next to the mobs, fighting, attacking, using skills, doing damage, etc etc

Also seems you like details... I also got some gold along with other stuff that was looted too!

If you're not getting XP but you're getting loot, then it's a bug and you should log a ticket.

Don't pretend you don't understand that "outside the range of getting XP" refers to the level range, and not melee range. And you were getting XP just like you would have before the patch. The point is, you should have known that you were getting XP, so you never should have claimed that it was impossible to get any. Such easily-disproven hyperbole makes your point weaker, not stronger.

Tried the LFG tool 3 times yesterday to do the daily pledge was 3 people from DC and when it made us upto 4 the other allience player could not port to us or the dungeon.

So had to wait until we got another DC player then all was fine.

That sounds like a bug. You can't port to the other players because of alliance, but you should still be able to Wayshrine into the dungeon.

There's also a bug in that the auto-porting to the dungeon doesn't seem to work.

I experience those same two issue's as well.

While I was able to port to the dungeon, others that had not unlocked it could not.

Only saw the auto-porting notice the very first time, all the other times there was not one, and we had to port in at the wayshrine.

Treaborne · November 2015

Today the notice was given both times that I random que'd and it teleported correctly it seems,.
