I had exactly the same experience yesterday. Not only BGs, but also dungeons, so it's a group finder issue. I queued for both BGs and dungeons last evening, at various hours, and I was in the queue for no pop for close to 30 minutes in one instance (queued as tank, for a dungeon). It's not server load since I queued at different hours with the same result, 21, 23 and 01 CEST - the server was empty with the same result. On Sunday BGs were fine, I played quite a few although the server load was certainly higher. This is clearly related to the patch from yesterday.

Tried it last weekend, ended up in an endless loading screen and had to restart the whole game, this went on another 3 times till i gave up. unless there was a patch BG's are broken for me on the ps4 eu server.
I tried last night again, about 25 minutes and no queue pop, it was past midnight, Craglorn was empty so definitely not due to server load.

It's strange because there seems to be some progression on leaderboard scores, so it means that at least some players are able to play some BGs.
I really think it is intended, because I can't believe the devs are THAT incompetent. I think it relieves some workload on the servers. There is a filter in place that only allows 1 on 50 players to load a BG. Because if they had to chose between which feature to allocate server resources, I think they would chose to cut resources for BGs, they would never cut resources for overland or cyrodiil...
What else could it be ? A bug that they are unable to track ? I don't believe that. I mean it is possible that they are that incompetent..
Yeah, completely broken since Mondays patch. Basically impossible to get in. It will just be in queue forever.
Well... At least that is better than being asked if you are ready a gazillion times...
But still. This is a major part of the PvP content of this game, and it's just left completely broken for an entire week. Here i am assuming they will fix it on next Mondays maintenance.

I think they decided that infinite loading screen was a bit too harsh, so they gave us infinite queuing. The worst thing is that they don't communicate at all. We don't know what's going on, and if we are a bit lucky we have people coming here telling us the same message over and over again, like gina and others. They could be replaced with bots it would be the same.
I think you communicate on these things when you know what's going on, you know what the problem is and you know how to fix it. So if they don't communicate on these problems, it's either they don't know what's happening, or they know and they are unwilling to fix it because it would cost them too much money... Either way, I am disgusted.
NO THEY ARE NOT hahahahahahhaaa they aren't no hahah HAHahaha hihiihi hahaaha
Forgive my laughter. I have a condition. It's a medical condition causing sudden, frequent, uncontrollable laughter that doesn’t match how you feel. It can happen in people with a brain injury or certain neurological conditions.
Yesterday evening it was working fine on PC EU. Did a couple of BGs on various alts without issues. Until yesterday I was stuck in endless queue. I think they fixed something on the group finder.
I don't know if you are talking about EU or NA BGs, but I got into 4 or 5 matches last night all within 5 minutes after joining the queue. Sorry to hear there are people having trouble, and hopefully it gets figured out soon for those having issues.

New "feature", third time in a row red team doesnt get any players at all and game never starts. Funny enough when players in other teams give up replacement is instant.
I’ve been queuing every few days since the dragonguard dlc launched, its still not working. Why I know it’s not working? Because before dragonguard dlc I’ve been playing bg every single day and the queue were all within 30sec pops up and ported in.
PS4 na.
