[Undaunted Event] Now that it looks like Group Finder is working, do you have a new game plan?

Was already intending to use Group Finder

Was already using it, just not relying on it to help my dps toon queue pop faster than what it used to be.

kargen27 · January 2020

I never had a game plan and was doing the just wing it method. I posted in the other thread, mostly I queued for pug vet groups running the four dungeons that drop the opal helmets. Had no problems.

Hamish999 · January 2020

Only soloing FG1 once a day until my tickets are full again as the indriks are fugly and so is the opal style stuff.

Still avoiding / not using Group Finder

I mostly do dungeons solo nowadays. If a guildie asks for someone to run with them I'll take part but, aside from that, solo all the way.

Still avoiding / not using Group Finder

I wasn't going to use it, but decided to give it a go last night and whether it's the group finder or players my experience was just as bad as before. Twice I got into a group only to be told the last person has declined so we were all dumped back into the queue, then I finally got into a dungeon but only me (healer) and the tank appeared so we ended up doing it as a pair while repeatedly being told by the group finder that someone had left and being asked if we wanted to queue again for more people.

I guess at least it was an effective reminder to stick to guild groups.

So we got people in this thread saying DPS solo queue times are 2/3 minutes....

And we got people in this thread saying tanks and healers had 10/15 minutes of queue time...

Not actually sure what to believe.

I myself queued a few dungeons and had a 20 minute wait time as a healer, and had to re-queue several times for dps runs as the queue seemed not to take. After the third queue/drop queue/re-queue cycle, I had a 25 minute queue as dps. (Edit to add: I'd re-queue after an hour, meaning I waited 3 hours for the queue to not pop...)

Is that what is considered working now? Have we been so beat down as a playerbase that this low standard of functionality is considered "working"?

Kudos to you if you think this is acceptable, I guess. Still seems hit or miss to me.

I still soloed FG1 on my main, but I'm leveling my alts and using daily bonus xp is the best way to do so so I'll keep using dungeon finder on them as I was doing even before the event.

Well it's not crashing the entire server, so it is better than last time they tried to run the Undaunted event. But it still doesn't seem like a good experience to me. Even if the group finder is working and the problem is players manually declining groups (or missing when the confirmation appears) the end result for me is still a lot of time wasted compared to the 'old fashioned' approach of asking in chat if anyone wants to do a dungeon, which seems totally backwards.

FierceSam · January 2020

None of the answers really apply....

I have been using it for premade 4 player groups only. And it’s worked OK

I have no idea if it is working properly as a random group finder... might experiment with the ‘full random’ later today.

My attitude will be Hope for the best, plan for the worst

This.

Also my guild mates were saying that it ported in just them and one other person and then stopped looking. As in, they ready checked and were pulled into the dungeon and only one other person was there and the finder stopped as if it did the job of getting a full group.

I'll just keep solo'ing some of the base game dungeons. I'm not ready for primetime on any char, and I'd rather not hear complaints about my playstyle. Anyways, it's good practice for my first (and currently unscheduled) vMA runs.

Still avoiding / not using Group Finder

I'm one of the 'just solo FG1' crowd.

Actually I never use the group finder. When I'm not on call I run with guildies - when I'm on call I run solo, and then I just walk up to the dungeon of my choice and enter at my own risk.
Well, I'm on call a lot. I believe it would be unfair to the rest of the group if I suddenly left to reanimate a thrashed application. Not that they needed me, anyway xD - all my main can do is not get killed xD.

EDIT
Yesterday I did group, however, even though I was on call. A small crowd was waiting in front of the FG1 gate about fifteen minutes before the event started, and one person asked if someone wanted to group. Since nobody replied, I said that I was doing on-call duty and might have to leave on short notice, but they didn't mind and invited me, so we grouped and ran the dungeon, and the timing was so perfect that we reached the boss spawn exactly at the event's start. It was fun, and I'm really sorry that I don't dare to group with strangers more often ... but I really don't want to be their millstone.

AcadianPaladin · January 2020

I've been soloing one normal pledge a day but I think tomorrow (Saturday), I'll use the group finder to queue up my healer for Maj's pledge on vet (WR1). Doing my civic duty I suppose and hoping for a Slimecraw helm in medium weight.

gepe87 · January 2020

Still not participating

Are you sure its working?

Still avoiding / not using Group Finder

Only newer players should really need to use group finder.It's harder to find a low level/experienced group runs,since most vet players are spamming chat for high level speed/no death runs.Most higher level players should be able to easily find a group in chat,or be in guild to find others easier.For higher level/experienced players,most normal dungeons are soloable,and most vet modes rarely need more than 2 people.For example I tank/dps and my brother heal/dps,and only a few vet hard mode dungeons we asked for more ppl to help.As long as we not forced to use finder,it's better to lighten load on it for others who need to use it,so it don't keep breaking.

Cirantille · January 2020

I just do my pledges as I would do on a normal day

I can't grind for that low possibility of drop rate

People are going crazy in zone though
