Battlegrounds Group Queue Broken Still?!?!

Bkella · July 2017

All I want to do is play battlegrounds with 3 other friends rather than 3 random people. I continuously get stuck in the endless queue loop and ready check BS. Is this still not fixed? This was one of ZOSs main selling points for Morrowind update and it just does not work. I don't understand ZOSs love of queues anyways and ready checks. The queue should work fast enough that a ready check is not needed!!

So fixed or not fixed?

Must be a sporadic issue. I constantly have had to fight against pre-formed 4 man groups during this entire event.

How do you know they are preformed?

I queued for 7 battleground matches yesterday on my tank and healer without a issue. Did poorly and sometimes well, but it's good fun. Back on point, ready checks were introduced because of too many afk players who where than kick or had to be waited on for 5 mins to get dungeon started.

Edit
It works effortless at least if you queue solo or with 4 people. Now anything in between I can't confirm.

Solo I typically get in after a couple ready checks, but when I try with 3 others in a group it never works.

Group queuing is going well.

Last night we had the same prob, but we just get out of queue and then in again and everything was fine!

I don't play this mode but see complaints all the time, you'd think the very active mods who are quick to come and dish out warnings for petulance and closing threads would act as quick in giving an eta on things being fixed, no doubt this gets comment gets deleted quick enough too

To late. When the problem came up they responded and tried. Once they stop responding they have decided the fix is 'good enough'.

At least on XBox NA group queues are still totally broken. You can still sometimes group queue during off hours (like 2am on a Monday night) but try during prime time and endless queues. At least as a minor consolation solo queuing still works but I got Morrowind to play BGs with friends and I am beyond frustrated that I still can't do so because of a broken group queue nearly 2 months after Morrowind's release.

im never one to defend ZO$ but yesterday i did 16 matches in a row (with 4 person group) only had a few problems.
there was a mountain of needless ready checks and 1 match failed to start. other than that it went shockingly smooth.
im on xb1 NA too.

Ah I see, brushing it under the carpet, bit unfair considering what, 1/3 of the price of morrowind was based on new mode.

What they should do if it's not working properly refund some crowns paid for the mode (if they haven't already) and open it up free to everyone, that way it's not too bad it doesn't work perfectly.

Maybe they will do something, who knows. Im just basing my response on the group finder that has been in the game for sometime now. When it breaks they talk about it. When they stop talking they are done trying and you are stuck with what you have. A semi decent mostly working frustrating group finder.

I guess I would be embrassed to have a basic MMO function that most other MMO can make work flawlessly, not always working on my game. So I would probably stop talking about it too.

@xb1LL_mr_sir_LL What time of day was this at? Was it during off-hours? We can often group queue during those low-pop hours but during prime time it is a no go. Did you do anything special when trying to queue? I hear about all these different tricks to make the queue work (everyone logging out and back in, disbanding an reforming, changing group leaders, re-queuing if you don't get a BG after 5 min., etc.) but am not sure if any of them actually work.

I had a different issue. I received a "deserter penalty" for crashing. Being called a "deserter" got me really offended for role-playing reasons.
