Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• [COMPLETE] ESO Store and Account System for maintenance – April 9, 9:00AM EDT (13:00 UTC) - 6:00PM EDT (22:00 UTC)

First they came for the BGs, now the Dungeons - I give up ZoS.

    Datapoint: Last night I queued with a full group to get into a specific dungeon (FG1) and got no pop after 3 min. The others in the group had been having the same issue with different groups. The problem persists across disband/regroup and logout.

    @ZOS_SarahHecker I'm not the OP, but last night, with a full group of 4,all with correct roles, lead hit the queue button and we waited for 2 minutes before we removed ourselves from queue and just entered manually.

    Yep exactly this happened to me yesterday. Had full group but still forced to wait forever. Had to re queue multiple times for it to work.

    I posted this in another thread, but be sure to check your notifications if you are queued and the dungeon won't pop. Sometimes after accepting the ready check one person in the group will get another ready check notification but won't get any pop-ups or other indication that they have a new notification. They need to check their notifications and accept the ready check from there. Once they do the queue should pop almost instantly. Until it happens though the group can stay in queue indefinitely.

    This sort of thing is why some people prefer solo-able stuff. You could have gotten it done except people say "but it's an MMO".
    I don't need *everything* to be multiplayer and social. Path of Exile does just fine with everything solo and a city hub for the social.

    Trying to experience the story in a dungeon is hard enough. Now even trying to finish a dungeon at all with a group is hard.
    Give it up and make more solo-able versions ZOS.

    The notification thing is separate. That requires the queue to pop in the first place.

    There’s also the bug where when the queue pops it tells you somone has declined before it zones you in, but that’s cosmetic.

    Group finder is a Kentucky fried joke. Its easier to pug with a friend in discord the same time to get together in a group than pugging as a partial premade of 2.

    Iirc we did not run pledges for a month now, because it is so tideous.

    I do not even bother reporting bugs anymore. Things rarely get fixed. I have resorted to accepting that this game is a buggy mess, that will at times (and I am not joking, this really happened today) transform your group of four into a group of different people when the dungeon loading screen is complete. How much spaghetti is in this code???

    It’s apparently now RNG that your pre-made group will remain intact during that dungeon loading screen.

    I’m glad I held off renewing my sub this time around.

    Don't worry about the all time worst performance, a class release with broken skills last chapter, an unplayable EU megaserver, a broken activity finder, hundreds of re-occurring bugs, cancelling of events, etc. You've got plenty of re-skinned cash shop sales to spend your money on so you can look pretty while you wait in ques that don't work.

    Maybe it's time you just retire from the game. Take a break New World definitely doesnt need your negativity when it comes out. So if you plan to have this attitude towards New World just stay away.

    Performance is fine, if you cant handle lag, fps drops and other issues in an mmorpg find a new genre. Every mmo has these issues they've stated fixes are in the works.

    Countless people have posted photos of AF working.

    They didnt cancel the event they postponed it.

    If you cant handle an mmorpg with bugs find a new genre.

    I'm not sure there are any mmorpgs without a cash shop. Most of eso is cosmetic if you cant handle an mmorpg with a cash shop find a new hobby.

    Again AF is working for most INGAME obviously the forum warriors are having a great time with AF story hour..

    It's clear mmorpgs have passed you by just retire and move on.

    My guess - and highlight it's just my guess - there is a limit how many dungeon instance can run at the same time, mainly because of any given hardware infrastructure only able to run a finite number of instances before it gets overloaded.

    So if at peak times people queueing for more dungeon then how many instance can be allocated, the people not actually waiting for the group formation but waiting on the availability of dungeon instances, thus even pre made 4 people groups have to wait until one instance becomes free... This would explain why sometimes queueing works and why at peak times it doesn't...

    If this is the case as I suspect, then no GF rewrite going to fix it, ZOS will have to invest money into getting more servers to run more dungeon instances.

    That cant be true the same ones complaining about GF also tell us the game is dying and nobody plays it.

    You said the BGs were fixed. They don't seem to be fixed.
    The dungeon queue was fine.

    Now it's broken and noone can queue.

    It's time to cancel my sub and move on, this game isn't worth the money.

    Lol this game wasn't worth the money even when you spent the money. It's called acclimation and this game is not anywhere good is it used to be. People think eso now is great but back then the game at least worked and classes weren't crazy broken.

    @ZOS_SarahHecker seems like someone can submit a bug to the great pve dev's so here it is : I just queued up in a group of 2 people me as dps, him as healer and after 20 minutes we got no dungeon. Not only that but when I wanted to leave so i can requee it did not work. Not only that but when I left the party I was still in queue and could not cancel it. I also got pictures I am trying to figure out how to add them

    Tried queuing as 3 people multiple times since the "hotfix" and queue is just never popping even if we are just looking for a last DD which normally is instantaneous.

    Right in time for the event :pensive:
