    The worst part about this bug, is if you are doing one of the Gold Coast WB quests and someone is in there fighting requests a group and share... If the bug occurs there is nothing anyone can do about it and the person who invites looks like a total *** who isn't willing to share the quest, because on the other end it looks like it's a proper group.

    You can't just zone out/log out during combat.

    Exactly like this. Embarrassing.

    Sorry guys, don't want to give you excuses for keeping you all hanging, so let's just get to the meat of the post:

    We do have some additional fixes going into Monday’s PC incremental patch, and are also working toward implementing these fixes on console for next week’s update as well. Just to make sure we’re all on the same page, below are a couple examples of the issues we’re tracking:
    1. Player A sends a group invite to Player B. Player B accepts the group invite. Player A doesn’t see that Player B has joined the group, but both players are still essentially grouped.
      • This was partially fixed in PC patch 2.5.6, and we’ll have additional fixes in 2.5.7. You can try going to a different zone or relogging to see if that helps you in the meantime.
    2. Player A sends a group invite to Player B. Player B accepts the group invite. Neither player is placed into a group.
      • This is largely an issue with the group leader; the game believes you’re the leader of a group, but in reality, you’re not. This will also be addressed in 2.5.7.
    Note that these issues are also likely impacting groups forming through the Grouping Tool in situations where groups appear to be formed, but are immediately disbanded and hit with the 15 minute debuff.

    Until these fixes are published next week, make sure you leave or disband your current group before logging off, especially if you’re the group leader. This will help ensure you won’t get stuck in a state where you cannot join future groups. If you’re already in a state where you cannot join a group, this should be remedied on Monday with the new patch.

    So just to be clear, do you guys feel the issues you have mentioned are directly effecting the grouping tool in the form of queues taking sinply not poping after multiple hours of waiting?

    It's not likely, no, but we are actively investigating the cause for the long queue times. It may be as simple as not enough players using it for the specific dungeon you're trying to run, but it may be something else. We'll let you know if we hear anything more definitive.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno that is truly unfortunate to be honest :(. I understand your position and I do not envy you to be sure, but this really is ridiculous. It suggests that the developers were not even aware of the issues that have plagued the tool since DB landed. It is most definitely not an issue with a lack of player participation, at least not initially.

    Well, on the bright side, today I tested the group dungeon finder tool and was in the group within 2 minutes! That was not the case before this patch! No matter how/when I tried, I couldn't group with anyone for 1 hour, even with multiple dungeons selected.
    I'm glad to see that this tool finally seems to be working!

    See how fast the mods are now sinking any threads asking for the grouping tool, and grouping in general, to be fixed?
    This will be another issue swept under the rug and ignored.

    They've had your money for SotH and DB, they really do not care whether you can group or not.
