Grouping Issue now?

VampiricByNature · July 2017

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom Ps4 NA server. Still having issues with our grouping. Cannot get in to a group- there are 5 of us trying in a psn party.

We even deleted our application saved data on our ps4s to see if that would help and it did not.

Thank you for the update. Hope you guys can sort it out.

From a strict technological standpoint -- coding, architecture, devops, etc. -- ESO is pathetic. The things MMO are generally bad at -- e.g. database operations -- ESO is worse at. The things MMOs are often pretty good at -- e.g. reliability of basic functions -- ESO is often bad at too.

They outsource all of their coding to different contractors on a bidding basis. Except perhaps the Crown Store. I'm willing to bet they still do that in house.

The thing I do not understand, how can be such a vital part of the MMO as grouping tool bugged for so long, WTH???

Good, question, more so as it worked well yesterday, only issue was one failed queue attempt.
Queued as healer and DD, waited 5 minutes, tried again with healer as leader and straight in.

I think the Crown store may be a higher priority

Xbox NA grouping broken and permanent load screens. What happened was fine yesterday.

jmferris · July 2017

The fix will be ready shortly, and will be available as an Apex Reward in the Dwarven Crown Crates.

Sorry... I could not resist.

Again? How the heck things get broken, suddenly, out of nothing?

Shocking...

As per the usual level of cryptic communication from Zose, they made 'some tweaks' and made some further 'tweaks' - see cat picture above for further details.

No, no issue in groups. Everyone by now accepted the fact he's bound forever whit those 3 random guys he grouped one day ago.

These tweaks are starting to make me tweak...

Tactical32 · July 2017

So, it appears that if someone from the group goes offline, the others can leave. Just worked for my buddy and I in different groups.

Give it a try.

Stovahkiin · July 2017

We all know what you're really up to Zeni, so drop the act... It's donut Friday at Zeni HQ and you're all too busy eating to fix our grouping tool!

ZOS_JessicaFolsom · July 2017

Hi everyone,

The recent grouping-related issues on all platforms should now be resolved. If you are in-game and in a group, please re-log and try disbanding/leaving the group. Also, please re-log before attempting to form a new group.

I'm sorry for this, but: I know you guys are catching a lot of crap for this, but I hope you realize it's kind of deserved. It makes ZOS look spectacularly unprofessional to let an issue like Grouping being broken just wait until the morning.

From what she said earlier, the overnight staff tried to fix it using the tools that worked with the grouping problem after the server crash Monday night. They didnt work and had to wait til the day crew got in to start working on a fix.

There isn't really an appreciable difference between "we let the problem wait until morning" and "the night staff tried but wasn't capable of fixing the problem, so we let it wait until morning."
