Should ZOS Add Extra Event Days (Broken Dungeon Finder and Battlegrounds Queue)?

I know these threads are coming ... so I wanted to pre-empt it with a poll.
Today's queues have been absolutely horrendous for a lot of players ... and there aren't even any Event rewards for Battlegrounds this week.
Would you like to see ZOS add Event Days due to players not being able to use the Dungeon Finder and Battlegrounds Queue?
By the way, I did my due diligence by warning ZOS ahead of time in this forums thread linked here.

I haven't had any issues with either, not today nor previously. Then again, I'm smart about how I queue, especially for Dungeon Finder. Like today, I ran the daily dungeons of most of my alts and had no troubles at all. But like I said, I'm smart about it, and had them each geared and skilled up to be either Tanks or Healers, unlike most of the people who think DD is the only option and then wonder why their waits are so long.PC NA @Ertosi♠♦ My Team ♥♣

✭✭✭✭✭Other.They should increase the drop rate on Sai's pages so when you do finally get a group and a box, you actually have a decent chance at getting one. Three pledges, que finder taking forever to work IF it even does, is a lot of time compared to the other weeks. This week is going to be painful if what Im seeing continues throughout the week.Beta tester November 20130 -

✭✭No.On a related note, has anyone figured out definitively that week five can drop all rewards from all boxes? If so, that's a heck of a catch-up mechanic.Edited by Siohwenoeht on April 26, 2019 4:00AM"It is a lovely language, but it takes a very long time saying anything in it, because we do not say anything in it, unless it is worth taking a long time to say, and to listen to." - Treebeard0 -
efster✭✭✭✭✭No.No. Whatever we miss out on during this week's days with a broken dungeon finder (which you don't actually need if you want to run pledges; wayshrines exist) we can catch up on during next week's free for all. 5 weeks is plenty.AD is the best looking faction. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them.0

zerocougar✭✭You can do it without using group finder. + week five is already a thing...?You don't need the group finder to run pledges.
You're right unless you are not in a guild and can't get a PUG or you are in a different time zone of your guilds and they already did the pledges hours before you even got off of work and they don't feel like running them again.1 -

✭✭✭No.No group finder is bugged but all you have to do is leave queue and requeue to fix it. I give it( normally) 2 min for tank, 5 min for heals, and 20 for dps on specific normal dungeons. You also have the option of asking in guilds,asking in zones, or asking local near pledge tents for groups.0 -

I queued with a DPS and a Healer and got endless "someone declined" for 30 minutes, stop pretending it's not broken. it was absolutely broken when I was trying, maybe you weren't on then.Playing your character the way your character should play is all that matters. Play as well as you can but never betray the character. Doing so would make playing an mmoRPG pointless.4 -

I've asked in zone for things like this and it usually works. Plus, week five.Edited by MrGraves on April 26, 2019 6:01AM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Just make every anniversary box guarantee a drop. Or cut down the price of Sai’s pages in the Impresario. Or let Sai’s pages drop from crafting write in week 5.
Based on the PTS, Sai’s pages will drop from crafting writs (and every other daily) next week. Thank goodness for small favors. Given the fact that we can only do three pledges per toon (trials aside), I would also have expected a higher drop rate for this week.
Unfortunately, none of that changes the fact that having to spam F to try to accept a dungeon finder queue ready check for over 30 minutes without success indicates that something is broken and needs to be fixed. While one does not absolutely need the dungeon finder to do pledges, as has been pointed out here, it is the most common way to do them. The malfunctioning queue system significantly hinders the event this week. Just because the event is not 100% broken, and just because some people are lucky enough to get working queues, doesn’t mean nothing’s wrong. If they offer a dungeon finder queue system, and especially if they offer an event that heavily relies on it, it should work reliably. For many people it doesn’t.
Allowing these pages to drop next week from more accessible and plentiful quests ameliorates one symptom but fails to address the root cause. While it’s looking likely that we’ll avoid a serious shortage of Sai’s pages, the dungeon finder is still clearly incapable of handling the demands placed on it, and its performance must be improved before another DF-heavy event like this is offered.2 -

"Your choice! Complete any of the daily quests found in Tamriel to earn Gift Boxes that can contain any of the above rewards (all four unique styles). This is your opportunity to catch up and choose your own adventure!"

Miswar✭✭✭✭✭No.No. Too much of these event nonsense nowdays.. if anything they should cut that down at least 50%. These long events do nothing but cause lag on crappy servers which they are not fixing anyways.Edited by Miswar on April 26, 2019 11:43AM1

Other.I would say while i understand the want to increase the days of the event i would say a better thing (and i know its obvious) is to fix the issue enitirely, i dont know anything from a technical point of view of fixing this, but i would assume it is possible, in the meantime increase the event duration0
