Group Finder Bugging Out, as normal

Maythor · May 2022

This last week or three I've been running more group finder groups to start to get pledge keys among other things.

I am finding and increasing amount of groups that are bugged in a number of ways .. I can't be bothered reporting them in game as they are simply too frequent.

1> The good old one where people do not always get ported into the dungeon and have to manually travel in. It's so common, most days I see it.

2> Leaving a group before logging off and finding myself back in the group next day, and having to port into Cyrodiil to break the group.

3> Simply being kicked from the group finder when it actually finds a group .. happened 3 times in a row tonight before I just gave up.

The random drops from game (it just disappears and you are on desktop), crashes during content, and terrible intermittant crashes when swapping between characters when doing writs .. I accept as something you'll never be able to fix.

However, so much time is wasted while waiting for a group as DPS, to find youself just dropped from the finder and unable to do content is just frustrating.

Group Finder for the past 2 weeks has been just plain horrible.

Every group has 1 r more players bug out and they cannot enter the dungeon... At best they have to teleport to a location, then teleport to a group member in the dungeon. At worst log out of game, then login then teleport to a group member in the dungeon.

I’m so sick of not getting ported in. It’s such a pain in the butt.
I just LOOOVE it when I don’t get ported in, my whole group shows as offline, so I have to RELOG to teleport to one of them to get in the dungeon with them!!!!!! So irritating!

Can we get some input on this issue. It does exist.
The 2 forms that I've experienced is:
The common, almost guaranteed to happen multiple times per day if doing pledges. "Almost", I said. Meaning, multiple queues per day.
At least 1 party member not being pulled into the dungeon when the queue pops. Seems to be most common for 2.
As soon as the queue pops, alerts start popping up in the top right about group members leaving the group. Even though everyone is still shown in the group.
Those left behind cannot use group chat and will not see messages posted in it. For example, members in the dungeon telling them to port in.
The other night, all 4 members were "left behind" during one queue. The "left behind" show in the group list with no last known location.
Since no one was in the dungeon to teleport too, each member had to switch zones in order for the group to fix its self for them so we could port in.
Also, the "left behind" cannot leave group in order to rejoin to fix the issue. Even if the group leader was to disband the group, they would still see themselves as in it.

The other one:
I've experienced this twice. Leaving group. Logging out. Logging back in the next day and be in the same group. Even though the other 3 members were not online, they showed as online in the group list. Unable to leave the group since it does not exist.

Logging out and back in does not "fix" the issue. Swapping zones seems to be the only way to get out of the issue.

Group finder has been bugged for over a year now. It is just even more bad now. The Group finder breaks most often when in a group of 2-3

Refilling a dungeon in progress is also basically impossible now. Even if its just one DPS missing, you wont get a replacement.

Adding in that whoever queues matters and it doesn't make any sense. Why would a tank + dps have an instant queue if the dps queues and a long queue if the tank queues? It's the same group? It happens weirdly with other configurations but that's an obvious example of something going wrong.

This happens almost every time I queue for a dungeon as tank with one other person in the group. The queue will not pop if I start it but will if I pass the lead to the other person. But when I queue solo it's usually instant pop.

The dungeon finder hasn't been right for a long time, no matter how many times they say they've fixed it...
