Group Finder Not Working
Just wondered if anyone else has been having an issue with group finder not working? I was queued up earlier for over an hour and never got placed in a group. Is it just me or am I missing something?

✭✭✭✭✭Used it to find a tank earlier and it was surpringly quick. Also had a couple other groups in the guild use it tonight with success.
Are you choosing specific dungeons? If so you may want to pick the daily pledges as they probably have the most people looking for them.Lone Wolf HelpFor the solo players who know, sometimes you just need a hand.PC | NA | AD-DC-EP | Discord0 -

lDcoyl✭✭It seems to be waaaaaayyyyy worse if you have an already formed group.
Not sure if this was intended, any one else notice this?2 -

@lDcoyl That's actually exactly why i was asking. When thieves guild released on PC there was a bug that could cause a full 4man group to take 20 minutes to queue into a random dungeon. It also appeared to have affected any small group using the dungeon finder too...it would take forever. On the latest PC patch a fix was applied and I have personally seen great improvements. I did see a seperate three awhile ago that Gina had posted on that PS4 players were experiencing the same thing. I imagine since Gina posted on it (ao pbviously she read it and they knew it was a bug for PC) that they are hard at working ensuring they get a fix into the next patch.Lone Wolf HelpFor the solo players who know, sometimes you just need a hand.PC | NA | AD-DC-EP | Discord0 -
D0ntevenL1ft✭✭✭✭✭I also play ps4 and I tried grouping for around 2 hours yesterday (alone) with no success. So I think it's totally broken.0

Ritzey01✭✭✭Me and some friends used it last night as a pre-made group. Had a random dungeon in about 4-5 mins. Worked fine for us. Havent tried it to actually find a group as of yet though.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭If your in the random queue as any role, the time estimated is displayed at the bottom of the screen after you make a selection. its not exact but it a close estimate...it also shows your actual time.
FYI:
-If you change zones, use wayshrines, you're not actually in the queue. It literally starts over.
-If you enter a specific dungeon queue (assuming you choose normal in the social menu first and then choose the normal queue, or the other way for veteran) the time in queue is going to be a lot longer and is subject to others who have a similar queue opportunity.-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

@jzholloway Sounds just like the PC bug we had. @ZOS_GinaBruno I know you questioned before if people were all on PS4. Is it confirmed the same bug that affected PC is also on console. If so has a possible solution be found so it can hopefully be pushed in the next incremental?Lone Wolf HelpFor the solo players who know, sometimes you just need a hand.PC | NA | AD-DC-EP | Discord2 -

Well in my experience on PC, the problem has been fixed with the fix ZOS put in place. Hopefully that helps them find and solve the issue on console as well. Just for giggles... Do you want to try queuing with at least a 2 person group for either Imperial City Prison or White Gold Tower? Mostly for my curiosity, as myself and others on PC are unable to queue at all for those dungeons when we are not solo. (We click the button and nothing happens). I'm just wondering if console also would have that bug. If by chance ZOS comes across this thread it may be good to make them aware of that issue as well (if it is an issue on console). Never know. Lots of times they do read the threads and pass info along even if they don't have a moment to make a comment

Yes, this is being fixed in the next console incremental patch, later this month. Unfortunately, it's not something we can hotfix, or we would.

Pyr0xyrecuprotite✭✭✭✭✭FYI, my current experience on PC NA (i.e. with some grouping tool fixes already implemented) is that...
1. as a DPS, grouping for anything (random vet, nonvet or specific dungeon) can take 40+ minutes. Very frustrating. (Tanks and healers have a better chance of getting a group promptly).
2. If I join up with a healer as a group of 2, then queue for a random, a group of 4 is formed almost instantaneously. Also usually quick if I join with a DPS (i.e. 2 DPS's).
3. If someone bails from a group and we are in the dungeon, re-queuing to get a replacement member is usually quick but can be buggy / unpredictable. Our tank bailed just after the group forming one time (it was for vet Wayrest, no idea why he bailed), and with the 3 of us in dungeon, we re-queued, and got 4 more people added - i.e. group of 7.... pretty weird. Only 4 can enter so we had to kick and wait for some to leave until we had a proper team. At least it was fairly quick. Other times, queuing for a replacement has worked ok.0 -

✭Even if the Grouping tool gets polished to it's very best, I think the root of the problem with Grouping tool lies somewhere else.
This tool needs to compel players to actually use it in order to be efficient.
People dislike using it (myself included) because you might be paired with a new player that has no understanding of basic game mechanics and does not have appropriate gear for group content.
Experienced people are then discouraged from using it and discard the GT completely, making the chances of getting undergeared players even greater by using the GT.
Basically, the root of the problem is that the solo content (storyline PvE) is way too easy, enabling players to play with mismatched gear that they drop along the way.
There is a great disparity in solo PvE and group PvE gear requirements.
