    It just dawned on me.

    They didn't do this early access thing as a nice gesture to those who pre-ordered the expansion.
    They did it to get mass testers because the closed PTS wasn't giving enough feedback.
    We're not lucky pre-order players; we are guinea pigs.

    You are right. I was receiving invitation to PTS although I had never applied for it (I actually believe you have to pay people for beta testing, or give them a present like it happens in real world). So I wasn't even interested to participate and the main reason is I don't believe they are listening to what people report and suggest. If I would feel that we can really improve somehow the game I would gladly help the project. But just look at Group Finder, reports are neverending and it is staying broken.

    I suspect if zos had paid more attention to the Dwemer plans of the Battle ground queuing system they would have realised that a 10% reduction in the gold of the specific Dwemer alloy they were using to forge queuing system's mechanism would have allowed for a smoother running and a larger capacity of the system.

    Just some thought ...

    In GW2 you can't change map while in queue, because according to the devs there, it would cause problems, if queue pops during loading screens. In ESO there is no such restriction. I'm aware that this is a completely different game with different technical background, and maybe loading screens are handeled just fine, but what if not? Anyone from the devs thought about this?

    I doubt its something that they already don't know of... Group finder has been bugged since homestead release, they are just playing
    "whaat is it still broken???? thought we fixed it... oh well we fix it next time then"

    been like this for quite some time

    The only problem is you would have no idea if everyone else did as well. And even if you had a whole group of 12 that did, perhaps the problem is cause by someone else not in your group that moves then gets stuck causing issues.

    Im not saying moving is the issue. But just you not moving doesn't really test that.

    Not saying, this has to be a cause of issues of course, it was just an idea that came into my head.

    This does make sense. People do different things while in a queue and I know I have missed queues to Cyrodiil many many times because I missed the pop up to accept either because I was doing something else or I didn't get the screen notification at all. I think perhaps they should remove the option to accept/decline. If you queue for something as soon as its ready just load them into wherever. I am also going to add if this ever went live that if you do queue for anything don't think you'll have time for a dungeon or trial and then get mad that you got pulled out. A work around would be if you travel anywhere while in queue it would kick you.

    Can you be a bit more specific, please? What still appears to be broken?

    maybe just have two ZOs employees actually log into the game at primetime, form a group and queue. there's nothing else to reliably reproduce the issue (at least on EU), ffs

    Is the sudden endless loading screen AFTER you are already in the battleground fixed?

    Because that was another serious problem that just made me stop queueing altogether.

    EU server, we just formed a group with 4 people.
    We have been trying to get into battleground for 45 minutes. We keep getting the ready check, sometimes with only seconds between them. I states waiting for players, gets stuck on 2 or 1 and then goes to forming again.

    We can't leave the que, only disbanding or somebody leaving the group stops the que, that needs a fix.


    the ready check is a bit crazy, it goes off so much perhaps disable it or just put a timer on it so you don;t have to press it many times in 1 or 2 minutes.

    To see if it fixed anything we reformed 3 times to require, no difference.

    then when we tried to leave it wouldn't let us for 2 minutes. Grouping is super sluggish and

    Just scrap the BG idea we all knew it was to good to be true in the first place. Scrap it and drop the price to $25, then compensate the players who overpaid for broken content.

    What about when you are 126th in queue for Cyrodiil?

    I'm not going to stay in one area for that long while I wait.

    New players are in for a surprise though... it puts level 20 people in BGs with L50 fully kitted out (ie. viper/tumorscale with some dawnbreaker poored on top).. even if the new player would know the mechanics of the game, he has no chance whatsoever.. heck the procs do more damage than the L20 will do the entire BG round :smile:

    Add to that, that most people that see a L20 will pick one first to O.K. since.. easy mode is all what this game is about. (all the proc tards are a testament to that)

    I'm having a similar problem:

    I queue, I accept, I get stuck in "Forming Group". After that, a few more invites appear, I accept them, but same. Sometimes its stuck on Waiting for Player: 1, and then it says someone declined the queue invite, and goes back to queue. I was able to get into two battlegrounds, but after accepting many invites.

    getting this as well, I got it 4 times in a row, before I got in took around 15mins, onces inside it was 2v2v2
