This is not intended, and we're working on fixing it so it appears. It may not occur until the upcoming incremental patch, though.

Hey everyone, wanted to let you know this change is not intentional and it's being looked into. Thanks for the reports and information.

Thanks! We're working on getting this fixed.

You should see an option for Solo Random and Random, the latter of which you can queue with a group. Is that not appearing for you?

Could you please post or PM your character name and server? Thanks!

Definitely not intended - we're working on fixing this now.

Thanks everyone, just confirming we have seen these reports and are looking into it.

It's possible this is a visual issue tied to addons since it looks like you're using a few, but just in case, could you post or PM your character name so we can check? Thanks!

Thanks for the report, we're looking into this now.

Just to give everyone an update, we were able to resolve the issue and plan to open PC EU soon.

Not intended, but we are aware and are investigating.

To be clear, was this occurring on the PTS or PC Live servers?

Just posted a thread here, which will include updates as we know more: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/550971/

It is weird for them to post the extension two hours prior to the estimated 10am deadline -- I assume they expect the servers to be down well past 10am EST? Hopeful they will be kind enough to give us some info... will it be 11am? Noon? 3pm? 6pm?

If it looks like maintenance will go past 10am EST, we'll post a thread and let everyone know. As of this time, we don't currently have an ETA for completion but should have more information soon.

Welcome to The Elder Scrolls Online v6.2.5 and the Markarth DLC Game Pack, featuring the epic conclusion of the Dark Heart of Skyrim! Markarth introduces not only the new zone of The Reach, but also adds two world bosses, two delves, and an exciting solo Arena that is sure to challenge you. We’ve also added several new collectibles, item sets, achievements, and titles for you to acquire, in addition to new Antiquities that can only be dug up in The Reach.

We’re excited to introduce Item Set Collections to the base game, a new system to help you find and manage all your item sets, along with increasing the cap for Transmute Crystals! We’re also re-adding group queues back to Battlegrounds, and have many bug fixes for the entire game.

We hope you enjoy this latest update, which is approximately 10.6GB. Enjoy!

The Elder Scrolls Online v6.2.4 is the final PTS patch before Markarth launches for PC on November 2. We’ve activated a new event for testing this week – the Tribunal Celebration – and have several more fixes for Vateshran Hollow, Markarth quests, Item Set Collection, and more. There is no character copy for this patch, which is approximately 222MB in size. Thanks for all your feedback during this testing cycle!

We enabled the next test about an hour ago, which will run until October 26. Currently, all AoE abilities have a shared global 3 second cooldown with group sizes being limited to 12 in Cyrodiil, and any ally-targeted ability will only apply to group members.

Hi all,

Just posted an update in the main stickied thread, but wanted to cross-post here as well for extra visibility.

As we approach the end of our scheduled tests, we’ve determined that we’d like to run at least two more tests to gather additional data, which are outlined below. Our goal here is to see how a combination of changes from previous tests affect the performance, as we’ve found they have not had a significant impact individually.

Thanks to everyone for participating in our Cyrodiil tests the past few weeks. We know it’s been challenging to battle with ability functionality changing so often, but being able to gather live data has been invaluable.

FYI: Just corrected a typo in the post. Originally one of the bullet points stated the global cooldown test brought server FPS in high-intensity situations down almost 45% - this should've said 25%, and has been corrected in the original post.

Pretty sure that should say "ping" or "latency" instead of FPS. FPS makes no sense in that context and you don't measure FPS in milliseconds.

In this case, we're using FPS to refer to server frames.
