Dungeon finder seems broken today

Buffout · June 2016

I have been looking for a group using dungeon finder for 2 hours already. Im also queued as a healer. Yesterday before DB everything was ok. But today, after DB and after i completed main story it just refuses to find people.

Anyone got same issues or is it just me?

Reverb · June 2016

I was queued for almost 3 hours last night before giving up. 1 hour 15 min so far today. Asking in guilds and in Stormhaven and Gold Coast zone chat, not one person has reported getting a group through the tool.

Hmmm... it might be because there's less people grouping.

I was up till 3 last night and still haven't finished gearing and specing my characters because I'm drowning in gear right now, trying to put together good sets from all the stuff I saved for the update.

Hopefully it's not broken again.

Tried it last night , queued as a healer. 1 hour and nothing , figured that everyone was doing the new content and decided to try again today. Two hours and nothing , so I think there's something wrong. Maybe the new group kick mechanic?

It's broken. Dev tracker says someone is looking into it.

GamerNoob16 · June 2016

Tried grouping today and couldn't, spent almost 2 hours looking for one. Hope they get it fixed soon.

Only 3 hrs and you guys crying already. I waited for more than 4hrs. I requeue atleast 3 times in 8 hrs

Not worked for me too, since the update. I tried with different Characters, Vet and non vet.

Illijixz · June 2016

still not working, any updates?

Takes ages to find a group.. Even as a tank... Use to take 2mins or less

mildlylucid · June 2016

Also sometimes when you find a group for a dungeon it's more than 4 people.

Any link to a dev reporting this? Looks like something I might like to follow. Thanks.

Max I've waited in the queue has been over 1 1/2 hours (many times) and I have tried many different role combinations, different dungeon queues, changed leaders, etc. It will ONLY queue (and instantly at that) when you have a full group of 4 people with the correct roles. This has only started since the DB patch.

I've used it twice in the last 2 days, in both cases in a group of 3 we were paired with 2 others for a "large group" of 5. Thus not everyone could enter. Worse, even though in each case someone nicely bowed out so the other 4 could get in, we had one person of the 4 not get the bonus random dungeon XPs. In one case at least I know the 2 others were already teamed, but the group finder should account for that.

This is a pretty bad bug, long waits are bad but forcing someone to quit, after which they probably have that 15 minute cooldown, and having someone who does get in not even get credit are both nasty.

The timer still seems broken, way over an hour queuing for random as tank / dps and it never popped. Teamed up in a group in the end.

ZOS_JessicaFolsom · June 2016

The hotfix yesterday did not fully fix the ongoing issues with the Grouping Tool. We have additional fixes we're working on - sorry for the frustrations, everyone.

mildlylucid · June 2016

Another issue I found with the group finder... Me and 2 mates were queuing for a dungeon and then it told me the party had disbanded while my 2 mates got put with 2 randoms. The group finder literally kicked me from a group. (Kinda ironic)

Sleep · June 2016

i didn't notice any fix from the patch

Thanks for updating us - fingers crossed.

Targir · June 2016

Please give us back the dungeon queue scripts before you guys make any changes. You changed from good to bad.
I'm a tank and waited for 2 hrs. I hate to beg for group or have to run to big city to get a group.
I'm so afraid of patches. I requeued and it's now 52 minutes and counting.
Please take your time and do it right. My programming teacher always said. "Fast is slow". When rushing and one wrong mistake will take 10 times the amount of time to find it.
Thank you for listening.

Makovorn · June 2016

Yep, it's very much still broken. It's really killing a large part of the game I enjoy very much. LFG in chat is an option, but it's a schlep. Before DB, I would queue as a healer/DPS and on average, my waiting time would be around 3 to 5 minutes. Now, it's basically indefinitely.

I queued yesterday evening - left it on for the whole night. By the time I was done playing, I STILL haven't found a group through the tool. I'm thinking of just moving on from ESO until they fix this. It's really annoying.

Take your time to fix it right, but please, please, keep the communication channels open on this one.

xlWASP · June 2016

I've finished the main story line, fighters/mages guild, DB, & working on Thieves guild. So many times I just want to queue up for a dungeon and work my Undaunted but CAN'T. I would actually run random dungeons back-to-back if I could. I spend a lot of time solo so the grouping is nice to have as a break from quest grinding.

I quit playing two years ago, a month after launch, because of game-breaking glitches. Here I am again, bc of my love for the Elder Scrolls franchise, and the game STILL has issues (like all game, I know).

I love that ESO even exists. I have no code experience.
But... two years, still, you guys have issues with breaking the game bc of updates. Even initially this game launched with massive amounts of glitches. Lol.

Done ranting.

Fix the Dungeon Finder please. Love, WASP.

MarXmaN1776 · June 2016

Please make fixing this group finder a priority. I don't know how it is supposed to work but I have three toons at level 14 and I cannot get queued for the few dungeons that are appropriate for me.

I used to play Firefall that had a very powerful LFG addon that would allow you to find groubs for the content you wanted at the appropriate level. Such a LFG browser is one of the most important in an MMO because even though you might be in a guild, people usually have different goals in any single day and different levels most of the time anyway. So hate me for saying it but PUGGING plays a key role in MMOs. Maybe not so much for guild tailored endgame raids (which technically should be pugable too) but for the path of levelling TO GET THERE.

keiyla_ESO · June 2016

Can it at least get rolled back until fixes are done? This is becoming game-breaking.

You can only get into a dungeon if you have a pre-made group.

If one person leaves the group, gets kicked, or goes offline then gets kicked, the group is still considered "full." This means you can't invite a 4th from outside the dungeon, nor can you queue back into the group finder to find a replacement. For all intents and purposes, the second one person leaves the group for any reason, the entire dungeon is forfeit, and everyone now has to disband, take the penalty, and try again.

My friend and I tried for 2 hours, and the best we had was one group. After that, we've get a group, join, the tank bails because it's ICP or something, and we're back to square one, because there is literally no way to fill his place. The group finder still thinks he's in the group. We've tried passing "party leader" around, everyone leaving the dungeon and coming back, the leader leaving and coming back.. there is just no workaround once someone leaves a group.

One time we looked for a replacement, and got 2.. group was too big with 5. The game wouldn't let me go to the dungeon. However, the leader couldn't vote to kick anyone (it said he'd already voted, even though he didn't), so even though I had been in the original party, I had to leave the group and wait for them to finish.

I haven't played the game but 3 days in two weeks because of this broken group finder- it's broken the ability to even do a dungeon, not just the ability to find a group-- and I'm about done.

Zeholipael · June 2016

Man, this issue is really taking a long time to fix

Shaloran · June 2016

Can you ever put anything into this game without breaking the group finder EVERY SINGLE TIME!?!?!?!?!?!?

I AM DONE! I'VE *** HAD IT WITH THIS ***!!!

Shaloran · June 2016

IT'S ALWAYS THE GOD DAMN *** GROUP FINDER YOU IDIOTS *** UP!! ALWAYS!!!!

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom
It been over a week now, any further news on this bug, incredibly frustrating to be half way through a dungeon having someone leave, then have to start an new group and start from the begining again.

Everyday people are unable to use the GF increases the risk that people stop using it even after you fix it.

Makovorn · June 2016

What I don't understand, is how do you guys even get IN to a dungeon through the grouping tool in the first place? Honest to gods, I've been firing up the LFG tool for the last few weeks and I've never left a play session where I got in ... ever. And I'm talking 1 to 5 hour play sessions.

It seems to be malfunctioning 100% for me.

^Same here

but still not a single word from ZOS. This should be 100% priority after the cheat engine issue.

Cheat engine issue seems to have been dealt with, using a smokescreen and a blind eye (and reinstatement of most banned players). Time to fix the grounder now.
