What's the trick getting into Queues on Xbox??

I'm trying to get into the CC queue. I get the matched indication and then the countdown. I hit ready. Most of the time it just expires and says the instance has been cancelled due to player declines. Then I get matched again. This time no ready check. Countdown begins and it rinses and repeats. Never to get into a queue. I have to actually exit the queue (once the timer ends) and re-enter. I do this for like 5-10 minutes before it finally "catches". Other times it will catch right away after the second countdown. There has to be a better way. Is there a process that you find works better? What am I missing.

    Not sure if the consoles have chat channels, but they are the only reliable way to get into a dead queue on the PC. Request CC to be done in the chat channel and you might have enough interest to form a team to do it. Of course, Age of Discovery should fix this problem with the option to select a random queue instead of a specific one. It should be available this year.

    Well chat on the console isn't really an option. it's too clunky and not many people read it. Also the CC event is going on right now so everyone is doing it. Random queueing won't solve event queues. I feel like there is a bug or that the way I'm queueing through the main images at the top just doesn't always work.

    It's unfortunately not a bug. In the old queue system, when player declined a queue start it would just pick the next one in line but since the revamp it cancels the whole thing for everyone and starts over. Every. Single. Time.

    You are in most likely seeing some troll(s) having fun by repeatedly queueing for the event and then not engaging just to mess with everyone else in the queue.

    Basically, there is no trick all you can do is keep hitting engage and hope the other players do the same.

    It figures that the new system is "working as intended"......I love it when things are changed that didn't need to be changed, like ques.

    When the que starts and theres no click ready button. That's a bug.. If it effects one person out of the 10 in the whole que. It will never get started.

    It IS a bug. If someone declines or timesout then it puts the queue in a loop. Supposed to have been fixed.

    I've been through this repeatedly since the current event began. This cycle repeats frequently and I've had up to 10 countdowns initiate before I finally get into the damned thing? I've had more success waiting until the countdown gets to somewhere between 10-14 before I click "Ready" and then mostly my toon goes right to the Cataclysm. Beats the heck out of me why this is happening on console, but it has been a daily nuisance thus far!

    Mark farming is getting harder. This buggy system is almost game breaking

    Because having this happen on 11 toons isn't fun

    As someone already said...queues are deader in platforms more than in PCs. Solution switch to PC or wait for the new AoD update to see if random queues help. Goodluck!​​
