Alright so I'm sharing these screenshots of me queueing for Ridorana. You can see both the time elapsed and my irl time.

and yeah it took 40 minutes for it to pop

But to be fair about this, the reason I was doing this was for my Shb relic; where I need to farm 18 vexatious memories. So while I was waiting for the queue, I did FATEs in the SB zones to gather additional memories so my time wasnt wasted.

My point still stands though, you can still queue up for these old raids and your time will vary but its still possible, since they're within the alliance roulette pool. Which I imagine the algorithm will usually tip into whatever favor players wind up queueing for at the time.

huh, the wiki I used doesnt mention that actually. Maybe you can do them unsynced.

Oh I guess thats also another good point, if OP's reasoning was to do the raids so that you can unlock Bozja, why not grab a couple of people to do em unsynced? It should be possible.

Other parts of the Relic don't drop Unsync, like Bitter Memory of the Dying will only drop from sync level 60 Dungeons, and the "Spare Parts"/"Tell Me a Story"/"A Fond Memory" one-time quests also must be sync, those two examples *suggest* that "The Resistance Remembers" must be sync, though I can't be certain without starting a whole new alt to try just that.

I can only speak for myself, but personally, while I wanted to unlock Bozja, doing it unsync wasn't an option for me because there is the element of experiencing the raids for the first time, I wouldn't have wanted to have my first experience with T.G. Cid ruined to "just get it over with", hell, I went out of my way, and played FFT before doing Return to Ivalice just to have the best possible experience with the raid series, which was, in my opinion, completely worth it.

Try doing them on Materia. It's only possible with an unsync PF.:(

which is completely fair as the Ivalice raids are still the best alliance raiding content we've gotten imo. But like I said, the queues are still doable

Then server or DA hop, there's a reason why this is a feature now.

Materia is the Oceania Data Center, and DC hopping is only possible within a region, they don't have an option for it at all because they are the only Data Center in that region.

As much as Dynamis is a struggle sometimes, we at least have access to the other 3 NA DCs, which is an option if a less-than-ideal one, Materia doesn't even have that.

ah yeah forgot about that. There has to be a populated Oceania server though to at least hop into, let me see. From the population metrics I see online, its seems Ravana, Sephirot and Sophia are your best bets for queues since they're the most populated.

You are missing out the biggest experience in Second Lif... I mean FFIXV, did you install Mare right? I mean why wasting time doing dungeons when ERP venues are hot right now? lol nerds.

You know the community is a lost cause when even the catgirls in modern glam make fun of the venue crowd.

My main is on Ravana - but that's not actually relevant :) Both DF and PF are DC-wide.

I'm not against the idea of letting Epic Echo and Unrestricted parties setting being applied to all content, Alliance Raids included.
If not that then perhaps expand TRUST/Duty Support to entail all old content: trials, extremes and ultimates as well.

I know what I'm saying is heresy to some hardcores but I dont think they matter as much as they think they do.

Saturday afternoon, pretty much prime gaming time. New content dies in a week, old content ist dead. Gotta stay subscribed though cause if you dont do content while its current you probably never gonna be able to do it unless its MSQ content. And this is content that unlocks a whole zone to play in, not some random sidequest content.

The game is fine though cause uh... you can just synthesize 500000 items i guess.

It was hell for me to unlock Bozja I waited 2 hour for that raid and thats because people told me its too hard for most people lol

While a possible bandaid measure it doesn't solve the problem of there being bugger all people on the Oceania Data Center.
Hell even Light sometimes feels like a ghost town and we should have healthy player numbers.

Also managed to run all 3 HW alliance raids today with servicable queues.

Ah i misunderstood you, i thought you completed them on your alt for the first time today. That would have been easily verifyable.

But wait, how would Striker44 be able to do these old raids??? They have a full time job!

That looks like they targeted their chocobo at the exact same time of taking the screenshot. This does make them radioactive.
