Dungeon Finder still not working as before PC NA

HonestLoverr · April 2022

Random queues pop up more or less frequently but searching group for specific dungeons takes ages or won't even pop at all outside of pledge dungeons (even those can take a good while). Always queuing together with my wife. We duo queue as tank and either heal or dps. Happening since the week long update 33 maintainance fiasco.

No idea if its way less people playing/queuing in general at all timezones regardless of events, or if its still not 100% fixed. Feels like the latter.

Over 1 and a half hour later after posting the thread we were still sitting in the same queue for falkreath and chambers of madness. Just finishied falkreath, finally. But to get our sets we need it several times more. Not to mention on of the members of our group had only a couple minutes of wait time. How?

2 years ago we took a break from the game because the dungeon finder was unreliable for weeks, bg's had only solo queue and cyrodiil performance issues were at its peak. We had to waste millions of gold and a lot of time to find out builds and tactics to cheese through every vet content in the past as a duo on ourselves to get things done. While it was indeed fun, the reasoning behind it is absolutely not ok. At one point we just couldn't take it anymore and quit the game.

Now the game slowly starts heading in the same direction for us as in the past. We can barely find people to run the things we want to several times in a row to collect the stuff we want, and the effort of porting from zone to zone and asking in 5 different guilds just to run some dungeons is an effort only a few would do and we are not looking forward repeating these steps everytime we play.

One could argue that in the past this was the usual method to organize groups. Though its 2022 now. And not everything was good in the "good" ol' days.

Please take a look into your dungeon finder again ZOS. Several people I talked to in zone chats experience the same.

You're looking for a specific, non-pledge dungeon, on PC/NA, at 5-6 AM EDT and wondering why you're having a hard time finding people? You've picked very close to the absolutely minimum pop time for the server.

Playing from EU and we picked this server because we heard its most populated at all times. Since our playtime can be different we decided to go here in the hopes we will always get groups. North america, south america, europe, russia, asia, afrika, australia, players from literally everywhere. Thats a lot of timezones and the ingame zones are full of players every time too.

So I'm not sure if the game already got a too low playersbase to somewhat guarantee fast dungeons like you say. Could be still possible yea, but if thats really the case then its time to implement cross server dungeon finder or a transfer option to make up for it!

Or even better: add complete crossplay function on all platforms for every kind of ingame activity. So players can do whatever they want, when they want, from which platform they want.

No idea if this has been suggested before. But if not, here it is. Do it ZOS!

The group finder is working fine. You’re experiencing a player error.

HonestLoverr · April 2022

30 - 60+ minutes average wait time on specific dungeons is what you call working fine? OK.

While there were recent issues with login, loading, and activity finder, these issues should now be resolved by the most recent maintenance. For this reason we will be closing the discussion. Further discussion can take place here.
