To be clear, the message you all are seeing about someone in your group declining the invite could be for any one of the 12 players in your group - not just anyone on your own team. This is working as designed. However! We are actively investigating to see if there's any remaining bugs with this system that's causing you to be kicked back to the queue incessantly.

We need to ask if everyone is ready to join the Battleground, otherwise you could be ported over if you're in the middle of doing something else (killing a boss, looting a chest, etc).

That's not how it should be, in all the MMOs I've been playing you instantly get ported there, if you are queuing for a dungeon or Battlegrounds you should just do casual stuff meanwhile like jumping, checking your bag, use your phone and that's it.

It's not fair that's some as..... just queue while doing a *** raid and meanwhile people killing time to get into Battlegrounds have to requeue again, just put a penalty of 10 minutes if you cancel the ready check but at least 90 seconds to ready check

Hey all, just to give you an update, we are aware and still investigating ongoing queue issues on PC. @ZOS_BrianWheeler even ran into it last night (yes, we do play our game) so we know it's happening, we just need to figure out the source and get it resolved.

@ZOS_GinaBruno

So it takes @ZOS_BrianWheeler to encounter the issue himself for ZOS to take the matter seriously, after you treated the players like idiots, claiming it has been fixed for the past week? Are you flipping kidding me?

Heck, In that case, make sure he keeps playing Battlegrounds so he can deal with all the crap we've been putting up with for the past 2 months and reporting here on the forums, while tagging the entire flipping dev team. Then have him go over to a game with a halfway decent arena (WoW, GW1, GW2, AA, TERA to name a few) and take notes on the features that have been tried and tested in the industry for the past 20 years and should have been incorporated into Battlegrounds from the start.

Being frustrated some individuals are lacking etiquette when voicing their concerns. Please treat our community contacts with respect as they deserve.

This is not limited to PC. Xbox is having the same issues.

By the way, that statement is in itself so hilarious it should get stickied permanently as an all time forum gem. Let's meditate a bit.

1. You release BG with a non functional queuing system even if you queue solo, but at least you can get into it after hitting join queue 50 times and with some luck.
2. People report the bug and complain. You state in your "known issues" that the system is not working "sometimes".
3. You issue a hotfix. The hotfix doesn't actually fix anything but breaks solo queuing even more too.
4. You issue a patch after 2 weeks of early access. You claim that most problems are fixed but you are still working on fixing it further.
5. People report that queuing is still not possible as premade group. You come out and claim the system is working as intended because someone was "legitimately" declining for the message to appear.
6. People post details and a video proving that this was just plain wrong.
7. You tell us that - after 3 weeks (!) - the lead PvP designer somehow ran into this as well and that you' "just" have to find the source of the issue now and fix it.

What did we learn? You claimed to have fixed an issue for 3 weeks that you didn't actually fix but tried to make it look like that it was an issue solely on the player's end. Apart from the bugs itself this is a grand fiasco in communication. Once again you dropped the ball ZOS. Well played.

@ZOS_BrianWheeler should have run into the problem when players took time out of there play schedule to post and inform you of the existing problems. Not last night when he decided to jump on.

No wonder yous keep away from posting on the forums, almost every post is cringe worthy and just shows how blatantly out of touch yous are.

I'm having quite fun on battlegrounds. Arenas are amazing, pretty welldone and detailed. Finder seems to be working better. Few latency and FPSs issues, but that is only about my machine limitations. The only thing I care is not be able to afford expensives poisons / potions on the long run.

I have been here since beta and when do us normal players, that pay for this broken crap every month, get the respect we deserve for still testing an expansion that is still in apparent beta?

So far, I still only have been able to do 2 battlegrounds. TWO. And I have been trying to queue, solo, and with friends/guildies, every single day.

Hello, any news about group finder tool aswell? you have been investigating that for 2 months? 3 months? can't remember, thanks for investigating!

So how is the investigation going?

@ZOS_GinaBruno

@ZOS_GinaBruno

Good question! From my investigations I realised that it has a problem in prime time. Yesterday after 12:45 gmt+2 the queue was very short and today,untill now, even instant sometimes. In half an hour I did 4 arenas(then I stopped counting), I couldn't believe. The bad side it was that some matches were 2v2v2...and ppl left so I didn't win anything. Most of the matches were 4v4v4....not skill/level balanced,but 4v4v4.
So, I guess the problem is server related,as I stated before. They should test the server with more numbers and see were the group finder glitches.

NO ETA.

That's not true. The ETA surely is "SOON".

Maybe my words are being misconstrued. Treating our community contacts respectfully has absolutely nothing to do with the games functionality, they relay information and do not deserve misdirected aggression.

It's not misdirected aggression when we, the players, have spent more time on the forums trying to bring these issues to the attention of said CMs and devs than the devs have spent working on these issues.

Personally, I've spent close to 30 hours in the past week compiling my Battlegrounds thread, tagging CMs and devs both on the forums and social media, submitting support feedback tickets, and more, and the only response I've received thus far is "I'll have them take a look," and that was 3 days ago, after 5 days of attempted contact.

I played BG for the first time last night. I like it a lot but if I could play in a 4 person group with my guildies I would LOVE it.
