Dungeon queues still pop bugged with 1-x already declined players

The bug that is in this game for weeks now still exists. I was hoping that Devs fixed it with the last patch, because they mentioned something about a queue bug fix but it is still present.

I tried for an hour yesterday to queue during DD and only 2 dungeons popped correctly. The rest already popped windows where one icon was already red. It is reproducable. Just queue, the window pops where you can accept or decline but already when the window is shown 1-4 people have already declined. For epic SP or Karrundax it is most of the time one red icon, for Malabog or CN it is most of the time 2-3 red icons ALREADY when the window pops. It is not that those people decline when the windows pop and even if that would be the case requeuing should show different results then.

Requeuing doesn't help because the very same windows just pop again.

I don't even join those matches anymore because the last weeks I tried them sometimes I always ended in bugged dungeon parties, where I was unqueued and had the "return to instance" bug preventing me for requeuing for up to 20 minutes or I was placed in groups where only 1-3 people were grouped.

Please fix this finally. Instead of making pointless events, the main feature (queuing for dungeons) should finally work! It worked when I started to play this game (I have never had issues with this when I started to play this game, so the Devs defintely bugged this feature by adding something else). If I would be a new player these days and I would try to queue for dungeons and all that would be shown are bugged queues I would instantly deinstall this game! This is a CORE FEATURE! Not every player runs premades all the time!

    1. Bump.

    2. I would like to add that I've just had this excact issue when queueing for epic lair of the mad dragon. What date do we have today? oh, the 14. Juli of 2014? That's okay... NOT. This is EMBARRASSING for Cryptic Studios. PvP is HAMSTER? I can ignore that. Auction house isn't intact? Okay. Those are all the natural disatvantages of the game's business model. But come on. PvE should work. At least on a technical level. That's what DUNGEONS and Dragons is all about. Make it work.

    I wish the developers would take note from World of Warcraft's Auction House. Blizzard has forgotten more about game development than these guys have learned.

    Bump. Bug is still plaguing my game nights - it happens on 80% of all dungeon queues.
    Where'd my blinky-blinky path go?

    Sometimes the red x means people are already in the dungeon. I have had it where there are green checks, but I have also had it where the red x's represent the people already in the dungeon. This is caused by people leaving the dungeon or getting kicked and opening up a slot.

    As an example if there is a group of three in a dungeon you might get three red x's and if you accept the queue offer, you add one green, if another person accepts you pop the dungeon-as intended. Now if that 5th person declines-that's technically not supposed to happen.
    I do however wish that you could choose to enter an epic dungeon with less than 5 people. I have run PK four times during delves and gotten nothing but the end chest because of the need/greed system.

    Hmm my understanding when you getting dungeons that have less than 5 ppl is simply because the matchmaking system can't find enough of the right class to make it 5, usually this is when groups are missing a DC or a GF. You also get people who like said above are disconnected in the party you are joining and they will count as taking up a slot but show up as a X. I have noticed that most times it will return you to the queue if it can't find at least 4 people to make a party however.

    This is not a bug - just almost no one queues for dungeon alone, and when you do it, queue system tries to put you in party which already has several members. Since this decision is based on player class, of you are DC or GF, it is much more likely to get into already created party with some missing members (that is because many parties run without DC and GF). And if this party has more that 1 missing member, you will see one or more red crosses in queue message.

    To avoid this - just join pre-made parties - e.g parties made before queuing for dungeon.
