Starting the Game as a DD is a horrible experience

People used to say that you can get stuck in the queue void if you have JP selected, not sure if it is true now.

It's if the ONLY thing you have selected is JP, and you're not on a JP data center.

The languages are additive when checked. If you are comfortable playing with all four language speakers, check all four. If you are only comfortable speaking with your native language, check only that, but your queues will be longer.

Was unaware it happened here, too.

I don’t believe it’s a thing here, due to experience not being able to be turned off, I think the OP is just confused.

4 and 5 am is absolutely not prime time lol.

Pretty sure you went the wrong way on your time zones. Would've been 3 p.m., not a.m.

During ARR and HW times even hour dps queue was normal and some trials nearly impossible to start. Game was pretty niche back then.
Even with split EU DCs queues are way faster now

It's also not a thing due to gear strength being largely standardized within a given level range, unlike say, WoW, where there were extremely rare blue/purple quality drops that were several magnitudes better then the common items available within their level range.

The most you could do is use fully overmelded HQ crafted gear, which isn't nearly as busted as what you can achieve in some other games, nor does it serve much purpose when it's not applicable to PvP.

I swear, if this involves a scantily-clad catboy instead of a fundamental misunderstanding of how gear works before level 50...

Germans don't use the word "alt" when they mean a secondary character. They use the word "Twink" and it has nothing to do with the english meaning of it.

I think you suffer from a great misunderstanding here from what twinking realy means. Making a twink or twinking always means that you make another char besides from your main character on your account. It has allways bean this way since i started playing MMOs 20 years ago. It has nothing to do with what you plan to do with that new character. Some ppl make twinks just for fun, for playing with friends, for, jobs, for rp, for gearing up another class or just for more inventory and thats just some of the possible reasons.

I prefer the term twunk
