Are BGs dead again or what ?

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.

These 30 seconds queue time were only for 2-3 weeks and there were no mmr system. The ap gain was really nice but 90% of the games were really boring.

I think it’s fixed now at least for me. All day earlier I was finding BG matches under 2 mins with no infinite load screens. Today was the first day in weeks I was able to play consecutive BGs with no infinite load screens.

I'd rather have those weeks back compared to waiting 20 min for a game. 30 min if I want to play anything that isn't a deathmatch. And the amount of premades (3-4 people queuing together) have drastically increased lately. Waiting 20 min as a solo/duo queue just to be up against premades isn't my definition of fun.

I have been having issues with BGs as well. I am waiting a lot recently since monday's patch. Yesterday I got into 2 bgs somehow in the evening but rest of the time I spend a lot of time waiting for the queue whereas last week was fine.

I want to know if BGs are having issues or if it is just a product of my imagination... I only do bgs in this game at this point, without it, I have no reason to log in.

Finally managed to get into a BG last night after 3 consecutive days when I couldn't. But it was broken. The orange team didn't fill even after 10 minutes of waiting. I asked the other group members and they all said most BGs they did manage to get in were broken in the same way. I went AFK and left the character in group for close to 10 minutes. Contrary to what ZOS claims, namely the group will auto-dissolve after 5 minutes, it did not, so I left and got the penalty. Group finder is clearly broken for BGs, though for dungeons it does work now.
