Activity Finder

Hello

I'm playing on Playstation 4 and I still seem to be having major problems when using the activity finder, For 3 days now (each day) I've been queuing for over 3 hours and have had no success in finding a group at all. (Tuesday I waited 4 hours and 18 minutes, this was at peak time). I understand that Shadows of the Hist is out but surely there is a fault? This very moment on my 4th day I'm sitting at 49 minutes and just out of curiosity I'm tempted to wait and see if it "actually" works at all.

I feel very sorry for new players who probably aren't experiencing them at all due to whatever reason, earlier in the year it was an hour at most I was waiting and that was somewhat manageable but getting home from work at 5pm (normally) and waiting until 9pm is absolutely ridiculous! I've no intention of replaying world content I've ran through twice and playing dungeons seems a far more fun way for me to reach 50 again.

Can somebody clarify if there is an issue or if this is going to be the norm from here on out?

    Broken. Same on PC, sometimes it works and other times it doesn't, aka broken.

    I found a group twice. Once yesterday, once today, but the wait is either none (0-10 minutes) or not at all. Sat there for 4 hours last night without a nibble

    I wish they would address it as a top priority concern and acknowledge it rather than throwing out new content all the time. At least I can somewhat use text chat now and look for a group instead of standing at Wayrest shouting down my mic like a fool.

    Was this on PC or PS4?

    It's not working... for best results, put yourself in the queue (just in case) and hit up text chat by the undaunted area for people.

    I sat in the group finder queue for 40 minutes as a tank yesterday to try and get the vet daily done. I don't even attempt it as dps anymore.

    We had a tank, healer, and one dps in the group later last night and we queued for one dps to do the normal daily .... we 3 man'd the dungeon before a single dps got placed with us. You can't tell me there wasn't a SINGLE dps above level 50 looking for a normal dungeon. (especially the daily)

    I would say it probably needs to be priority #1 on their list of fixes. It's pretty much garbage right now and it makes grouping next to impossible.

    Thanks for the insight, I'm glad it's not just me having trouble, I guess my best bet would be to find a dedicated team that's on roughly at the same time, but that...that takes time and requires effort from all lol. I guess I'll cave in buy a few exp scrolls and speed run content again, probably reach 50 by the time it finds a group.

    Wish we would at least get a response from ZOS.

    I highly doubt it, It always seems to be pushed aside and buried as if they're hiding the fact that it is broken...Why release a DLC pack when the mechanic for playing them doesn't work. I wish more people would mention this so it's constantly heard.

    I'm still waiting for a group from when I posted this thread, 2 hours and 29 minutes now. and they even had the cheek to remove the estimated time in this update as well (Noticed that wasn't in the patch notes)...

    Same case with me, I am finally done with this tool and again going back to PVP..

    I wanted to do SOH dungeons but ZOS literally screwed here!

    DPS are always goonna suffer but even my Healers and Tanks are not getting group!

    My request to @ZOS_GinaBruno is to restore old code of group finder that was released with Thieve Guild at least my Healer and Tank was getting group very faster but now its not even working for Healer and Tanks.
