Que Finder Seems slightly worse after so called "Improvments".

Beavisaur13 · October 2019

Still same for tanks, practically insta, healers insta or 5-6 mins.
Dps still takes 10min + Better off just asking guildies to join. Having 2 dps now still can take 5-10min, before was almost always instant.

Bg's went from almost insta pop/occasionally 1-5min, to 3-4 mins or 10min +
Plus Bg's don't even work anymore just getting stuck in endless loading screen.

Lmao. No "improvement " can fix dps queue time. There's simply many times more dps than tanks and healers.

There's no way to fix supply and demand. There's way more DPS than tanks or healers, so any time you queue up, the activity finder likely already has 2 DPS fairly early on, it's just waiting on a tank and healer. No amount of rewriting the activity finder will fix a lack of tanks and healers.

The new activity finder was created specifically to fix issues where the activity finder would break while under high load during events, and on the BG side of things, where the activity finder would throw you into a match that would never find enough players to start (at least, a workaround was put in place to allow you to leave these matches without incurring a penalty), and likely other issues.

Spoiler alert: They didn't fix a damn thing. It still sucks.

I don’t know what find seems slightly improved. They all seem to suck.

As far as I’m aware the changes they intended to make were to resolve the failure of the feature to form groups and promptly put them into a dungeon, or to form more balanced groups for BGs (at least in terms of team size, maybe they looked into mmr/premade issue but that I don’t know). The endless ready checks not putting people into a dungeon even if they were grouped in advance was the issue here (this issue is compounded by server traffic they have said in the past).

Nothing in that is designed to give you a faster queue time if you are a dps. That is not a bug, it is a design flaw due to a lack of support players queueing for dungeons.

But on the matter of the new queue finder’s success, can anyone confirm if they are still getting a bunch of failed ready checks or if that did get fixed?

I can't speak to BGs, but I can speak to queuing as a DPS. The time wasn't the issue (other than the endless queue). That part seems like it improved. What hasn't improved is the finder getting "stuck." Three or four times now, I've had to quit the game and come back to just requeue, because even though I hit the ready check, the counter kept counting down to zero and never went away and I couldn't requeue.

The way to fix this is to make it easier to level tanks and healers. And no, not something that we would have to spend crowns on.

Leveling is not the problem. It's just that not many ppl wanna tank pugs. You should try it sometimes. Queue for vet pledges and watch 10k dps hump the boss for 10 min and then repeat next boss.
