@ZOS_GinaBruno you said on reddit that the long queue time for 4 man party finder was fixed. here's a 5+ minutes long queue that never pops for a 4 man.

The bug was marked as "resolved" in this patch: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/2825934/#Comment_2825934

"Fixed an issue where a full group of 4 players would have to wait in a queue when using the Grouping Tool."

The issue is NOT fixed

We disbanded the party and had someone else remake it and requeue, after 2 minutes and a half we decided to call it quits. No pledge for me today.

Please bring up the isssue with your devs so they know the issue is clearly not fixed

Thanks

    In your first screenshot the tank is marked as tank/DPS, I've seen instances where that can cause a 4-man group to get long queue times.

    In your second screen shot one of your members is in an instanced dungeon, something else that I've seen cause long queue times.

    These are undeniably bugs, but they are ones you can do something about:
    1. Everyone leaves any instanced dungeon they are in.
    2. Disband / regroup.
    3. Make sure everyone has ONE role selected and that you have 1 tank / 1 healer / 2 DPS.
    4. Queue up and off you go.

    Following the above steps with a 4-man group the queue always pops for me in under a minute.

    Thanks but everything you're saying is things I've tried and don't help. Also it's not the first time it happens, it's a pattern so believe me I've tried it all.

    The "multiple role" thing I found has not been a factor when you're affected by the "long queue time bug" (which doesn't seem to affect everyone btw)

    Also being in the instance doesn't change a thing. it just resets it. Also he went in after 2 minutes in queue

    Thanks for trying, tho.

    You think that's bad, This is me currently waiting at the moment, It's definitely not working as intended.

    You have to specify if that's just the normal queue or that you are very specifically IN A 4 PPL GROUP waiting to pop.

    If you're 1, 2 or 3 ppl in the group in the queue, then this thread is not related to your queue time.

    I'm specifically talking about being 4 ppl in a group and using the party finder to scale the group to level v16. It should pop instantly since you're already 4 ppl

    Happens to me almost every time. I have tried backing out and rejoining then instantly get into a dungeon. Other times it makes no difference.

    I don't need to specify anything. I'm talking about the Dungeon finder in general, regardless on how many people are grouped up...It's flawed and needs fixed!

    If you're a dps trying to find a party it's cause there's not enough tanks or healers queued. that's not a problem with the game programming.

    The problem I'm talking about involves 4 ppl queueing in a full party. We're not looking for anyone else, so there's no "finding" to do, therefore it's a programming issue. Please distinguish between the two, your issue isn't related to mine

    You're telling me it takes over 57 minutes because there isn't a single healer/tank in the dungeon finder at peak times in an MMO...No it's blatantly obvious that is not the case. I ran a Healer last month and still had exceptionally long que times. If I thought it was for the reason you stated above I would not have posted.

    The concept of a queue is that it's a line up. If you're the 100th person to queue and a tank queues, you're not getting in till the 50th tank queues.

    Altough I do agree that it's also badly coded, therefore further contributing to very long queue times.

    Can we agree that there's multiple factors affecting queue time?

    did you try disbanding and inviting people as you're on the queue ?

    The party finder changed dramatically in the last few months. inviting someone while queued cancels the queueing now.

    Also since this issue affects me a lot since I use the party finder with 4 man groups a lot, I've tried several things.

    Sometimes having someone else make the group makes them pop within seconds. But not often...

    Out of curiosity is everyone in your group using the appropriate Megaserver?

    Once or twice its taken like 5 minutes for me but most of the time a pre made group pops fast. Rare it takes more than a minute
