    be glad if its fixed in 3 months, this is ZoS were talking about.

    Even if it is fixed, its going to break again in 1 or 2 patches for another few months down the line.

    ZOS needs to bring in somebody who can actually get thier grouping tool to work. They have struggled with it for far too long, and it is clear that thier current staff isn't capable of getting the job done.

    To be fair, you will receive the message that someone declined the invitation if someone does legitimately decline the Ready Check.

    Launching BGs without a functional queue is like releasing a new cell phone with a touch screen that doesn't work. Imagine the heat a company like Samsung or Apple would take if they did that.
    Force weapon swap to have priority over EVERYTHING. Close enough.
    Make stamina builds even with magicka builds.
    Disable abilities while holding block.
    Give us a REASON to do dungeons more than once.
    Remove PVP AoE CAP. It is ruining Cyrodiil.
    Fix/Remove Forward Camps. They are ruining Cyrodiil.
    Impenetrability needs to REDUCE CRIT DAMAGE. Not negate entire builds.

    this is top, I'm just surprised by ZOS.

    before we could play in no-prime time hours, now even this is impossible.
    full pre made group, and we having message someone in your group declined. lol, no words.
    at least they changed message.

    I'll a little surprised that so many folks thought that this was a bug after the most recent patch.

    On the other hand, the grouping system needs to be reworked in such a way that prevents player-induced matchmaking failures from occurring so easily.

    This is not happening. I am in a group with 2, we both hammer F to join...we get the notification that someone in our group declined.

    Still bugged.

    Group invites still slow.

    Fix the game. Everyone has told you there's no need for a confirm screen. Since pts. If people que they que. They wanna play! Get rid of confirm screen and it will help tremendously.

    While poorly worded, the "your group" in the message refers to all players matched for the BG, not just your party.

    I got this message 5-6 times in a row. Doesn't seem that likely no?

    Plus I had to press "confirm" like 5 times as well, how many times do I have to confirm that I'm ready to accept the invite?

    And when we finally were able to go in, my team had 4 members, the other had 3 and the final one had 2. Extremely balanced ....

    This is not true at all, ever since todays patch, it doesnt say someone declined, it says 'someone in your group' has declined, which is not the case. As seen here

    even if it's supposed to work like this, and it's not bug, well, it's crapy designed, because with full pre made group we were spending 30 mins in queue before gave up on idea to play. For sure, there is no 8 (6) people on whole EU PC who want's to play BG, yea.

    Just to double check, are you queuing with a pre-formed group of 4 and confirming none of the others are declining?

    Yes, I am qeueing with a 4 man premade and it gives the same message when everyone has accepted.

    EDIT
    To be more specific, everyone in group accepts the ready check, counter goes down to zero when enough players have accepted, we are forming group and then right after that it gives the msg as shown above and put us right back in queue.

    I group as 2 and get this note, which is wrong.

    "your group" means the group that is being formed for the battlegrounds, not the group you are already in, if you are in a group of two and get that message it probably means one of the other two people that aren't already in your personal group have declined.

    However it is still buggy even when you take hat into account.

    I have a feeling that what's happening is more people already in groups of four are queuing than there are people not in groups queuing, so what happens is it tries to match two already formed groups together, realizes that would make 6 to 8 or whatever in the group and cancels it.

    Nope. Everyone confirmed, status changes to "forming group" and decline inv happen after. Whats the point of already pressing confirm to wait few seconds to cancel it other than system fail?

    I get this sometimes as well. It counts down and then changes to forming group. It sits on forming group forever and then says someone declined.

    Group finder has been broken for months, this will never get fixed as it is beyond their ability (if it isn't than they really don't care, has to be one or the other at this point). I had to stop doing random dailies on PS4 because it would port all 4 in after the ready check and then instantly kick us out of the dungeon.

    Can you not disable ready check for once to see if it's a temporary fix? @ZOS_GinaBruno

    Because the same problems appeared ever since ready check was introduced in the pve group finder a few patches ago.

    Why theres even ready check in the first place? Somebody enter q - he want to do specific content. Make it instant port and problem solved, ppl will quickly realise to q only if they are ready to go for what they q and everyone time will be saved.
