Is the group finder working properly for vet dungeons? I know it's hard to get a group for specific vet dungeons with a DD, it's normal to take many hours waiting, but with my healer or tank I was used to wait around 20 to 40 minutes. But in the last two days I've been unable to find a group when I select a couple of specific vet dungeons. Yesterday I waited more than 6 hours, today I already waited more than 4 hours. When I go random it works fine, but I only get the old dungeons that I already complete everything, and if I select just a few dungeons that I'd like to play it literally never starts.
Since yesterday I just put it queued on group finder while working and let the sound on to know if it starts. The bad thing is that the idle identification of the game is bugged and when I'm waiting for a dungeon it thinks that I'm idle, so I need to run constantly to the computer to move something to inform the system that I'm waiting for a group, because even with the group finder active seems that the game doesn't know that I'm waiting for a group. It would be nice to see that fixed too. I already thought to let something pressing a key and left the character in front of a wall walking - I'm not sure if this works.
Anyway... Is the group finder not working well for dlc vet, or there are few players lately?

ankeor✭✭✭✭✭Maybe there are no one else in q to fill that 3 other space for a group.
It is strange for a game with 20m+ players but who knows.4 -

I find it weird too. Specially because I've been trying only with tanks and healers. Meanwhile I gave up, and just start a new search with a dd... who knows. But they really need to fix the idle time or remove it while we are waiting for a group.0 -

And I'm trying to find group only for dlc dungeons. Not all player own it. I've been searching group for: Coral Aerie, Earthen Root Enclave, Lair of Maarselok, Moon Hunter Keep and Moongrave Fane.
I usually select all the five dungeons to search for group.0 -

Make sure if it fails to find you re-queue. If you get a group but someone doesn't accept, you're essentially not queued and need to leave and re-join queue.
Could also be the block bug has stopped tanks bothering.0 -

✭✭Veteran queues always take much longer to pop than normal queues, and depending on your timezone this may be during the work day which would further dilute your potential player base.0 -
Marcusorion1✭✭✭✭last 2 evenings looked for vet non-dlc pledge groups..nothing popped - except once where another player " declined"
Whether it is the Tank bug or not, the perception of Tank issues may be a considerable factor ?
2 manned the non-dlc pledges with DPS only, but definitely need some functioning tank abilities for some DLC vet HM0 -

The quote you're responding to also didn't say 20 million active players, but with a population of that size you might expect more activity.

Exactly. That happened with me also, a few times.

Ofc, that's obvious.
The point is that's the only number they ever revealed on their own.
Number of accounts, which can never decrease unless they delete accounts with their own hands.
The point is even tho it is visible that less people are actively and continuely playing the game, especially people who used to enjoy certain part of the game, the only number they present is the most unimportant one that can never make them look worse.
I really want to know about how many people actually trying to do dungeons and trails on a daily basis in a "20m+ and growing population. And how are the those numbers compared to let's say 6 months, 1 year ago or even pre pandemic times.1 -

✭Endgame is a desert post update 35. Group finder is working better than ever. It has no issues at all with only 10 people using it.I am currently worried for the future of ESO. Population seems like it is in free fall and the cancellation of the North America in-person gathering feels very much like pulling the plug. Kudos on fixing the in-game economy though. Clearly whatever gold shenanigans were happening the last couple years are fixed.3 -

That is Steam only, a minority of PC players. The numbers do not show any relation to the total number of active players.

I don't have that idea. I mostly play dungeons because it's very very hard to find a group for a vet trial. Sometimes it takes weeks or even months. I gave up on trials years ago, like most players I know. You can find a few groups for normal trials on PC (EU) everyday, but still way less than dungeons because we still don't have a proper group finder for trials. Most players on PC are playing normal dungeons. It's fast to find a group for a normal dungeon. There are lots and lots of players doing dungeons on PC, it is popular. Unfortunately vet dungeons don't seem to be.

Well im glad you had more luck than i did, i was pretty amped to get into dungeons and associated achieves when i came from console a few years back. I did everything without addons of course and a whole lot of time in high level pvp so pretty well rounded. Got here took me 6 months to find 2 people who just came from playstation, couldnt find a 4th so they went back. Guilds i looked at were only offering trial signups, and the dozen others i tried over the next couple of years were a failure. So yeah i use activity finder for the rudiments of my goals which is a gamble as you know. Not what i expected on pc but thats just what happened for me.😀0
