    This is such a scandal, it has been going on since this joke of a patch.

    Same thing here since the patch.

    I wait and wait to get into the PVP BG.

    FINALLY, it prompts me to join. Then...

    Endless Loading Screen...Have to relog.

    Repeat Above a few more times.

    Then I FINALLY get past a loading screen for once. It says Waiting For Players.

    Noone else comes in after waiting forever, no game begins. Have to quit BG (as do all other players on teams waiting there). Now I am considered a Deserter and can't re-queue again for what 10 or 15 minutes?

    Would it matter, because ...just a feeling here... but when I finally "get in" again, I will be on the Endless Loading Screen.

    Please fix. I play the game primarily for the BG PVP.

    Thanks

    Ok, so here's something strange....

    I finally get in a BG (Deathmatch). Playing with my team, having fun...

    In the middle of the match, the Activity Finder thing comes up to accept or decline PVP BG.

    I press accept and I am ported into another, different BG of Chaosball that is just going to start. Hmmmm.

    So, I play the game of Chaosball. Game is done (we won), I leave the BG.

    Now I get the Deserter flag when I go to queue again. I have to wait the penalty time before I can re-queue.

    (What would have happened if I had hit "Decline" when it popped up in the first BG, kicked out, then Deserter again?)

    You shouldn't be looking forward to anything in this patch, lol. Broken group finder is just the tip of a ***-stained iceberg.

    I tried this weekend and could get Q'd. The wait was long and every time the Q popped I sat at the battleground loading screen for 12 to 15 minuets until I either disconnect or give up and re-start the game. Never got in. :(

    This weekend, on PC EU it worked kinda well for me, apart from broken MMR and long queue time (>15min), 2 times long loading screens (no penality) and one long queue (25 min, I log off...).

    Lots of sympathy for everyone who wants to play BGs.

    I like the idea of BGs

    But 2 years on from their launch, they do seem to be a bit of a total disaster. I mean if you can’t implement a basic group finder to place players in the game, you don’t really have a game at all.

    Hopefully ZOS can get to grips with the concept of a group finder and make it work. Because then they might be able to put a little more care and imagination into matchmaking and group/game selection.

    Had the same issue with long queue - but i think its related to us climbing on higher mmr ladder. First i got 3 quick matches and won all with highest score - than long queues and match with premades few times in a row. I did bgs on a new char, so it could be related to system looking for better players to match me.

    Earlier that day I had 5 endless loading screens and had to relaunch every time - after that all went smooth.

    Same issues here. Moreover, queueing as solo takes bloody ages to get into a bg (30 mins or more). And, most of the times, when you finally get a ready check, you accept, you go into a bloody 5 mins loading screen, and then, at the end of the loading screen, you are ported back to your original location and you need to start queue again. To say that this is irritating is an understatement. I play BG only, I'm losing any interest to login.

    Oh so funny, lol lmao rolfmao... and what else? Ah, POGGERS and LUL. I think I did all of the 12 year old kid acronyms so I may continue.

    New group finder is working fine for dungeons and is super fast (almost too fast, sometimes 1-sec) with instant traveling to dungeons. The same is or will be true for BGs. Gina said they are working on this problem affecting BGs only. So, it would be wise to wait a bit and settle your emotions down. Yes, I also play BGs a lot and no, new group finder is NOT worse than before, quite the contrary. I'm glad we finally got it.

    Imho the new group finder for bg's it's flawed in it's design.

    With the old finder, you could play while waiting in the queue.
    With the new finder, it's possible that you queue -> go in an istance -> wait 5 mins -> not enough players -> go out. You requeue, go in an istance, wait 5 mins, not enought players -> go out. You could go on ad libitum in this endless loop.

    This is imho a serious design flaw.

    With the old finder, you were allowed to get skyshards, do the psijic, questing, whatever you wanted in the meantimer, while waiting in the queue. It's a GAME. We are meant to play while we wait, not to stand still in a spot just staring at our screen. Staring at my screen hoping that some other players will join it's the opposite of fun for me.
    With the new system, during off-peaks hours, when the population is quite low, there are good chances you are just wasting time in an endless loop, until you give up at some point.

    I don't even PVP very much, but there are certain skills I need to unlock in the assault line. After hours of attempts I managed to get into 2 BG that actually progressed to playing. The others, either kicked me back to tamriel "cannot enter battleground" or stuck for 20+ minutes waiting for other groups to fill. Almost completely broken.

    Finally decide to take a CoD break and try out the new ESO patch. I only pvp and prefer small scale, so BG is where I reside about 90% of my time in the game. Low and behold, infinite que times and ZOS has managed to break the que system worse than morrowind launch (that went 6+ months with no responses) this game is honestly so infuriating. Why would you release broken ass updates? Then it’ll take like 2 months to even address and 4+ to fix because; lol we can’t pass a patch through Microsoft that easily!! Even though literally every game releases patches weekly. Joke. Joke. Joke. Why tf do people still sub to this joke of a company?! It’s been like this for years.

    I'm not sure if it's actually the issue: If I solo queue, I get infinite load screens that eventually return me to my location in tamriel, but if I queue in a group, it's almost an instant Q and I'm straight into the match.

    they literally did the opposite of what everyone wanted: favored premades over solo queues.
