    This has never worked right, it will probably never work right... why they keep basing events on this buggy pos baffles me, surely they get that it just annoys people. Somewhere a gamer has had a heart attack or an aneurism that they could have prevented by admitting this broken code is broken before making it a key part of getting a funky mount :)

    Actually if you just do a nonrandom dungeon (or solo or make a group) and kill the boss you'll get the event tix, just not the event box with the goodies.

    That is both good in one sense and yet also another bug, I feel conflicted.

    PSA: When you logout after kiling the final boss you won't get the undaunted mail with a box. Just a heads up. I wanted to queue again, the tool broke and I realized I don't need 8th bows motif. 10/10 would play this event again

    At this rate ZOS will eventually go the way of WildStar. When will ZOS figure out they need to provide better servers? Cryo event was the same hot mess....

    OH! But Scalecaller loot crates on here for a limited time.

    Was working fine about 06:00gmt and later this morning. Managed 1 dungeon about 1 hour ago but bust after that. Started when I pressed F to accept and stuck in ready check. Logged out and tried different character but just the same . No more of this for me tonight, try again in the morning

    I got my small bone dragon construct this AM before the servers went to crap i don't care what i get for the rest of the event. ZOS will probably not address it until monday ..... Maybe this event will force them to look at how bad the servers are and fix them..i'll keep dreaming

    I have a different problem @ZOS_GinaBruno. I had just finished an event, tried to leave the dungeon through the entrance and now I am stuck on a frozen loading screen. No music, nothing. I even left the game and closed the game down and then went back in and tried to play the same character. It looked for a second that it would work, but no. So now I have a frozen loading screen again.

    Okay, so at least theyre patching it, but seriously, 10am-3pm on a saturday? for once, can they patch at a time they wont screw EU players?! we will essentially have missed 3 days of this event, and they cant extend it because New Life starts immediately after this. So ZOS are boning us, as always. Might as well just bend over and accept it at this point :/:/:/:/:/

    Hi everyone,

    As part of our efforts to address the current Dungeon Finder issue, we will be performing a maintenance on all ESO servers tomorrow morning.

    The PC/Mac NA and EU servers will be offline starting at 4am EST. This will be the incremental patch that was originally scheduled for Monday.

    The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 NA and EU servers will be offline starting at 6am EST. We estimate all servers to be back online around 10am EST.

    Thank you for your continued patience.

    Wow, not only do we not get to do the event because of bugs, but we also don't get to play regular ESO for several hours because of the event bugs. This is getting worse by the hour!

    @Threemoons you don't have to solo if you don't want to. You can still manually group up if you find you want/need help. You'll just have to directly port into the dungeon of choice or walk through the front door.

    History, like a human being, is thirsty when it wakes from its slumber…History wants to drink up an enormous amount of blood. And even if history has tired of drinking blood, that’s only in regards to the amount. But what about quality? The larger the sacrifice is, the more delighted the cruel gods will be.

    The finder, that always had issues, broken in the second the event starts. Then after 8 or so hours, it magically fixes itself, only to fall apart (again, for no reason) 21 hours later. If they somehow fixed it just enough that you are able to get in sometime, leave it at that and fix for real after event ends - when everyone is grinding new life anyway... These occurences are always a good reminder not to sub or buy crates

    This is just pathetic. How the heck is ESO going to fix this issue in six hours? Unless they're basically just admitting that they knew it was an issue, had a fix but were too lazy to get round to it, hoping people would just ignore it.

    Dungeon finder issues? I dont know what people whinge about with DF, the only issue I have ever had has been due to DF being triggered to find a replacement before a pull of final boss, boss killed and the finder summoning me into a finished dungeon.

    Everything I have seen people complain about isnt actually to do with the DF and mostly is impatience.

    The Finder was never able to handle many ppl at once, thats why the finder is working in the night and breaks afternoon/evening.

    After doing a single guild normal dungeon, relogging to another alt and being stucked forever in "forming group" status. Not possible to quit queue. Very annoying.

    Many guildies reporting same issues, group runs cannot start.

    Why does it need a patch?

    And a maintenance in peak time on Saturday from 11 am till 5 pm, is this for real?! It's outrageous.

    I'm patient, but 6 hours for a maintenance is a bit rough, almost like a major patch.

    Stil, if it's going to fix Group finder in the long run... go for it.

    I just want to know why things like this keep happening. Is data simply not being monitored and analyzed at ZOS?

    Data, especially in a game as massive as ESO, is such a beautiful thing. It can be monitored, analyzed, and used to fix problems and prevent them from happening again.

    Take for example the Group Finder bug which happened last year. There should have been so much data gathered from that event that the team could prevent it from happening this year (they had a year to work on it).

    The fact that it is happening again makes me sad and confused. This is exactly why we have and use data. To monitor. To analyze. To learn. To improve.

    ZOS failed to do that, which makes me wonder what (and if) they are even looking at.
