    They couldnt fix dungeon grp finder since ages, so i dont think they will be able to fix bg any time soon. Actually i dont think they can fix anything at all without breaking something else.

    We tried for like 3 hours last week to que in groups of 4 and nobody was declining. Still didnt work so now we just get in the activity finder and seperatly we que at the same time and usually a couple of us are on the same team and if not we are on the other teams against our guildys which is pretty fun. You guys do need to add a re que or next match so you dont have to exit and que again!

    So it is limited to groups?

    It'd probably be helpful for ZOS if we could narrow down the issue.

    I'm personally able to get in easily and I certainly run into pre made groups.

    The worst part is, by the time they fix it (if that happens), the amount of people still attempting to queue will be so low that it will still appear broken since you'll need to wait an hour for a match.

    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).

    So you're telling me that for 30 minutes straight I can't get 12 people to click the ready button?

    As mentioned in the bold part, we're investigating to see if there are remaining bugs.

    I sure hope. auto-fill doesn't work either if a team loses a member or starts with less than 12 players it RARELY fills the slots

    Guild was mainly farming today, so four of us decided to sit in queue and try to get in with a full group. 2 hours and countless ready checks later, zero battleground matches entered.

    I entered 2. games with a friend. We did not wait more than 2-3. mins. in queue (note: it was just after the maintenance) Both games were full 4v4v4. But we dont have time to test it more, will try again later with a full group. Yes there were still ppl who are low lvl, but it is improvement from this last few weeks, at least we did enter the battlegrounds!

    Same broken garbage and another lie in patch notes. Still goes back from "forming" to "queue". Incompetent and pathetic. Make sure to go silent for another week and come up with another outstanding "fix" ZOS. Sixth week since Morrowind launch and still getting to bg is accident miracle once a day. Its not even prime time yet and didnt manage enter once since server was up.

    "Grouping Tool

    Fixed an issue where you would be removed from a queue when trying to re-queue immediately after declining a Ready Check.
    Fixed an issue that could prevent other players from being found for your group if your first replacement declined the invite.
    Fixed an issue where you would not be put back into a queue after attempting to form a group when another player would not accept the Ready Check due to being inactive."

    Look, this is very simple. The ready check is currently the main issue. Get rid of it. If you queue for Battlegrounds, you have already agreed to go. If you're not ready, if you're opening a chest, if you're killing a boss, that's on you. Don't punish everyone else for one person.

    Once the baseline queuing system is working, then you can go back and add this feature once you've refined it. 6 weeks + of broken BGs is not acceptable. I get the idea of the ready check, just eliminate it until you can fix it. That way at least folks can play BGs. Then when you think you've fixed the ready check system, stick it on the PTS and ask groups to test it for you while you watch. Then send it to live.

    Can you guys just turn this farse bgs off until you trully get this fixed, and stop wasting people's time? Really, six weeks just passed since Morrowind is live and completely nothing is changed:( how competent yours engineers are if they cannot fix one of the major feature of morrowind expansion.. people paid for this...

    I honestly do not think it will be fixed anytime soon. Just going by their track record here... The only thing I can say is I am not throwing anymore money at ZOS. I un-subbed and will not be buying crowns or anymore DLC until they start to correct the ridiculous amount of issues with this game. I don't even care about balancing anymore, I just want to play BG's. I want to ride my horse and not stop dead every time I hit a tall blade of grass. I want to hit a skill and have it actually go off now and not 5 seconds later. I want to not get CC'd every 3 seconds and stand there with full stamina still unable to break free. I can go on a lot more but I think I have made my point.

    morrowind expansion is like a swiss army knife
    it has a blade [battlegrounds]
    it has scissors [new pve content]
    it has a screwdriver[new quest content]
    multiple features!

    except the blade is very, very dull. everything else is fine, but its cutting feature is dead.
    the blade has been sent for sharpening for 6 weeks now, and it is still duller than a butter knife

    i could simply refund the swiss army knife, but i still want to use the scissors and the screwdriver!
    how frustrating it is, that you have a broken product for which you paid, for all the features, and one is simply not working, but you can't refund because you want the rest, too?

    @ZOS_GinaBruno i hope you laugh at this, and i hope the engineers laugh too, to get motivated or maybe inspired to find a fix

    My friends and I tried BGs on PS4 NA for the first time yesterday. We got to play 3 times in almost 2 hours. What a joke. Spent almost all the time accepting Ready Check requests instead of actually playing any BGs. We won't be going through that again any time soon. Such a let-down.
