    Same broken garbage and another lie in patch notes. Still goes back from "forming" to "queue". Incompetent and pathetic. Make sure to go silent for another week and come up with another outstanding "fix" ZOS. Sixth week since Morrowind launch and still getting to bg is accident miracle once a day. Its not even prime time yet and didnt manage enter once since server was up.

    "Grouping Tool

    Fixed an issue where you would be removed from a queue when trying to re-queue immediately after declining a Ready Check.
    Fixed an issue that could prevent other players from being found for your group if your first replacement declined the invite.
    Fixed an issue where you would not be put back into a queue after attempting to form a group when another player would not accept the Ready Check due to being inactive."

    Look, this is very simple. The ready check is currently the main issue. Get rid of it. If you queue for Battlegrounds, you have already agreed to go. If you're not ready, if you're opening a chest, if you're killing a boss, that's on you. Don't punish everyone else for one person.

    Once the baseline queuing system is working, then you can go back and add this feature once you've refined it. 6 weeks + of broken BGs is not acceptable. I get the idea of the ready check, just eliminate it until you can fix it. That way at least folks can play BGs. Then when you think you've fixed the ready check system, stick it on the PTS and ask groups to test it for you while you watch. Then send it to live.

    Can you guys just turn this farse bgs off until you trully get this fixed, and stop wasting people's time? Really, six weeks just passed since Morrowind is live and completely nothing is changed:( how competent yours engineers are if they cannot fix one of the major feature of morrowind expansion.. people paid for this...

    I honestly do not think it will be fixed anytime soon. Just going by their track record here... The only thing I can say is I am not throwing anymore money at ZOS. I un-subbed and will not be buying crowns or anymore DLC until they start to correct the ridiculous amount of issues with this game. I don't even care about balancing anymore, I just want to play BG's. I want to ride my horse and not stop dead every time I hit a tall blade of grass. I want to hit a skill and have it actually go off now and not 5 seconds later. I want to not get CC'd every 3 seconds and stand there with full stamina still unable to break free. I can go on a lot more but I think I have made my point.

    morrowind expansion is like a swiss army knife
    it has a blade [battlegrounds]
    it has scissors [new pve content]
    it has a screwdriver[new quest content]
    multiple features!

    except the blade is very, very dull. everything else is fine, but its cutting feature is dead.
    the blade has been sent for sharpening for 6 weeks now, and it is still duller than a butter knife

    i could simply refund the swiss army knife, but i still want to use the scissors and the screwdriver!
    how frustrating it is, that you have a broken product for which you paid, for all the features, and one is simply not working, but you can't refund because you want the rest, too?

    @ZOS_GinaBruno i hope you laugh at this, and i hope the engineers laugh too, to get motivated or maybe inspired to find a fix

    My friends and I tried BGs on PS4 NA for the first time yesterday. We got to play 3 times in almost 2 hours. What a joke. Spent almost all the time accepting Ready Check requests instead of actually playing any BGs. We won't be going through that again any time soon. Such a let-down.

    Dont forget "it would be in this patch but we didnt have time to properly test it". So they will test this awesome solutions for another week to deliver us another pill of dissapointment.
    IF they respond at all, its been going for so many weeks might aswell go back to pretending that this topic and whole issue doesnt exist...

    That point has to be close. It was around this length of time when they just stopped responding to dungeon finder queue issues. So I'd say Soon....

    It's not ZOS's fault. It's the fault of every single one of you who hasn't requested a refund for Morrowind yet. If everyone concerned about BGs requested a Morrowind refund now, it would be fixed by tomorrow.

    To request a Morrowind refund click HERE, pick Windows, then Billing, then Request a Refund!

    How many times have we seen this before ?
    And nothing ever materializes.
    Just dishonest banal politician speak about "we're working on a fix..." "we'd like to have it fixed by...." "it's something we'd like to do but...."

    [snip]

    Where is the urgency ?
    A major advertised feature of a new DLC is broken. Has been broken for 5 weeks.
    With no fix in sight.

    Other games would have it fixed within days and would be absolutely ashamed if players could not access a major feature. [snip] Yet do absolutely nothing to fix the problem.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno Take down the servers. Roll back the *** Group Finder to pre-Homestead (before ready check) and let people enjoy the *** game they paid for. And then feel free to take years to make ready check work, or forever, no one cares, just let people play.

    As for myself, I requested a refund. I'll be happy to purchase Morrowind again once BG queues work.

    They don't seem to understand that a ready-check queuing system cannot AND WILL NEVER work. They're wasting time.

    The probability of getting 12 people to perpetually ready check doesn't make logical sense. Look:

    FAILED - yes, yes, yes, no, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no, yes, yes
    FAILED - yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no
    FAILED - yes, yes, no, yes, yes, no, no, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
    FAILED - yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no, yes, yes, yes
    FAILED - yes, yes, yes, no, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no, yes, yes
    FAILED - yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no

    FAILED - yes, yes, no, yes, yes, no, no, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
    FAILED - yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no, yes, yes, yes

    (several hours later)

    MATCH - yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes


    Now i want you to imaging that their background, all those "no's" are getting replaced with other people, and it keeps all the "yes's" together for that one ready-check iteration. (or worse, it just jumbles everyone back in some master pool or queued players)

    Only here's the problem. Those are NOT individual no's. Those are no's that are segmented and partitioned into groups of 3 people, groups of 4 people. So now they need to throw out that entire chunk of yes' that go along with the single no.

    Okay now for that one iteration, it needs to now find a replacement group for the exact amount of people. But its much easier to fill that void with three individual people, rather than a group of three.

    So if you're in a group... its harder to fill those spaces. It's like a nightmare game of Tetris.

    Every wonder why solo queuing goes so fast? Its because you're one individual replacing/filling the final holes in a pre-matched group that's looking for those final replacements to start the Battleground.

    Pls tell me they didn't program it that way.
    @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

    And i think they even when everyone presses ready it doesn't work right and says someone is not ready. (I don't think that so many ppl don't say they are ready)

    Just deactivate the ready check to see if the grp tool works. Shouldn't be to hard just set player_ready=true or something like that.
