Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6
So when will Battlegrounds get a time limit for game start?

We are STILL queueing into bugged BGs that won't start and eating the deserter penalty.
All BGs that haven't started in a set time need to be ended so we don't have to wait 20 minutes to try again. 5-10 minutes should be plenty of time.
Why is this so hard to implement? I know there are a lot of pressing issues with server and Cyrodiil performance at top of the list, but this doesn't seem all that complicated to implement. 10 minute start timer counts down when match is first made, if timer reaches 0 match ends and nobody has to eat the deserter penalty. Sounds simple enough.

✭✭✭✭I'm not even sure why it ports you in when you don't have a full roster. Dungeons wait until everyone has said yes, why don't battlegrounds follow the same rule? Maybe I'm missing something.PC/NAMountain God | Leave No Bone Unbroken | Apex Predator | Pure Lunacy | Depths Defier | No Rest for the Wicked | In Defiance of DeathMeet my characters :

✭@heaven13 Your guess is as good as ours. I've had an eternal wait more than once but also matches started when we were just 2 or 3. Lord alone knows how this game queue works. Oh works is probably the wrong term. Lets rather say operates.Edited by Ryath_Waylander on August 26, 2019 1:05PM2 -

✭I haven't experienced this, but it does sound frustrating. My only guess is that everyone is saying yes but when it tries to connect one or more players fail and it puts the group is a weird limbo.
I've seen something similar with dungeons. When everyone readies up and gets teleported, one or more players will still be in their zone because of the "failed to join instance" message. With this type of group, you can easily just port to player and join the dungeon. But with BGs, I feel like it's a different group architecture (can't just portal to players in group) and therefore this similar issue wrecks havoc. Totally a guess, but you start to see some similarity with these ZoS bugs.Edited by Donny_Vito on August 26, 2019 1:21PM0 -
kwinter✭✭✭I wonder if some of the issue is players getting stuck in loading screens when porting in0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Once I waited 20 minutes and the BG ended itself “without penalty”. Once. Seeing as how the deserter time is also 20 min that makes sense.#FiteForYourRite Bosmer = Stealth
