ZOS - will the group finder issues be addressed before the expansion?

    Wow please, maybe go play the game instead posting nonsense on the forums and then tell us how the queue is working without any problems... every single day for the last 3-4 days the queue had issues / did not work at all. Even before that there are times when the queue is completely broken, both BG and Dungeon queue.

    No I am not over cp 1600.
    Ridiculous...

    I can't wait for ZOS to come out of their hole again and be very confused again that group finder is not working again.

    @Tasear

    are you saying you have never had a bugged group finder either for bg's or dungeons?

    As for zos's communication issues, there has to be communication first for there to be issue's with it.

    Report crown store issues and its fixed within the hour.

    Not the issues you have described.

    Dear Group Finder Issues,

    If you randomly kick players off the server, that should free up some CPU processing for the remaining players.

    What's that? You've already implemented that solution?.

    Who needs initiators and classes and JES2, with load-balancing theory like that?
    Dear Group Finder Issues,
    problem addressed.
    thank me later,

    I had no problems getting into BGs earlier today. But around 10:15 EST PC NA I get stuck in this endless ready check via group finder. Other players in zone chat reporting similar issues.

    Day 2

    Greetings again!

    This is the start of day 2.

    Unfortunately, despite having a hunch and other things, we received no feedback from ZOS about this issue.
    I have a feeling though that today will really bring us something positive.

    And to restate - we are looking to help fix whatever the group finder issues are, if possible.

    How was everyone's evening last night?

    Personally, for myself, I spent in total 1.5 hrs pressing F, hoping a queue will work for either battlegrounds or a dungeon.
    I managed to get into one dungeon, and unfortunately that was the only group finder based activity that worked for me.
    I really wanted to run the two other undaunted pledges but I just could not get into a group :(

    So I picked up herbs and mined some ore.

    This has needed fixed for ages. Its absolutely aids to use.

    Suppose if it can't be monetised it goes to the back of the queue.. again ... and again.. and again.

    Quite pathetic tbh.

    Day 3

    Good morning everyone!

    So here we are again :) Was anyone able to test the group finder last night? I was unable to play due to the server maintenance and then only logged in after midnight Germany time and I got into a dungeon immediately (but this is not prime-time).

    Maybe ZOS will give feedback about this issue?

    Thank you

    I was going to buy some of the new crates too but I think we really need to have some sort of commitment to getting this working correctly by ZOS. It shouldn't be a one-sided affair. Staying positive! :)

    If there's one thing I've learnt in all my time dealing with ESO is to never stay positive - it will only lead to your disappointment.

    WHYYYYY, for the love of all that is holy, do you keep buying their stupid funny money units? Do you honestly not realize that the message you're sending is "keep them shiny pixels coming and we'll keep throwing money at you"? If you have complaints about unfixed bugs and keep buying crowns/crates, I'm sorry but I question your commitment to having your issues addressed.

    I have not purchased any lately. Basically I have been an ESO Plus subscriber since they switched to that model. I have been paying a monthly fee because (at least for myself), I find that ESO is extremely accessible for someone that normally has very little time during the weekdays and maybe a bit extra on the weekends.

    For example, no other MMO has something that I can easily hop in, do a vet dungeon, get a monster helm, and be able to theorycraft a new build after relatively little time invested. If I compare it to the other MMOs, there would only be a few pieces of end-game gear available, most likely ones I would never be able to obtain due to real-life obligations.

    What I have seen continually is that in zone chat many people are complaining about the group finder being bugged, but when asked to come to the forums and post in a public space where their feedback is visible, many say "oh I will just make a bug report" or "oh well I don't use the forums." I can 100% guarantee that unless a Bug Report has some relationship with earning, creating, or maximizing wealth for the company, it will be completely ignored. That's just the way business is nowadays.

    But what can you do? I don't want ESO to go belly-up but I want to at least be able to play it (via group finder). Thus the only option we have is to post on a public forum which potentially has media exposure, and hope that we can get support for the group finder.

    Tough situation.

    I am not playing ESO for that long, I did not realize there are so many issues that prevent me from doing daily endgame content ... and because endgame, it is the main reason I play MMORPGs I can just ignore the issue and continue playing

    Additionally, we will not hold another in-game event that requires the Activity Finder until we are 100% confident that the tool can support it. Stay tuned for details on that.

    Day 3

    Hello and good morning everyone!
    Last night I only had 20 minutes available so I was unable to really test the group finder.

    I did manage to join a group for Wayrest Sewers and have the queue pop and be loaded in, in about one minute. I would say that is excellent, but I have no idea how the server was later on.

    I joined the dungeon at around 7:50 pm Germany time.

    What sorts of experiences did you all have last night?

    No. They also wont be resolved after the expansion. The crown store will be updated regularly, and new fluffy content will be added. Keep subbing and buying crowns so there is no incentive for improvement.

    Day 4

    Last night I had very little time again but I was able to do two activities.

    First, I had a logon queue of 25 minutes. That has been addressed already by ZOS and hopefully the server hardware upgrade will fix it.

    Secondly, I queued for and joined a daily vet dungeon for Spindleclutch II. It took about 2 minutes in total to get in. Not a problem.

    Third, I tried a battleground. The notification to join the battleground popped up and I pressed F, and it did not freak out. I joined the battleground. Unfortunately, it had 4 people in it and the system was not putting anyone else in the BG. So, I would say that the battleground group finder is still broken, despite the logon queues.

    25 minutes logon queue + 20 minutes deserter buff = 1 hr of wasted time.

    I am pleased to see that ZOS will be fixing the servers for the regular group finder issues, but I feel that the battleground issues are not being addressed.
