An hour wait and still going? Is Square not testing the stupidity of this Duty finder? If you're going to make this part of the main story line quest. Fix this problem please.

Yea Sastasha is a tough 8 person to get into :/

It's for Praetorium...

Want to see the stupid update?

That queue is for the Praetorium. You can see it selected on the left panel of the duty finder. The right panel is just showing its default of the first item in the list.

Are you trying to do Praetorium to get your storyline win?

A lot of people speedrun Praetorium using 1x tank, 1x healer, 6x dps. If everyone is decently geared and knowledgeable about the fight, that's really all you need. Duty Finder forces you to use the 2x tank, 2x healer, 4x dps setup... so the only way to organize a speedrun is to completely build it with eight people. Very few people join a DF group unless they actually need the storyline win.

Anyway, I think that's why your queue might be super long... or perhaps you should try requeuing?

Think that's bad, wait until you almost have a full party and you get people queuing in and bailing out in rapid succession. The first time I did it, the 'party ready' window must've popped up 20 times before we actually got in.

People complained about speed runners and being asked to skip cutscenes, so we were given alternatives for tomestone farming. As there is no longer any incentive to run it, queues for duties like this have become like Cape Westwind.

I understand that the DPS wait isn't new, but because this is part of the main quest line, I can't progress into the endgame at all. What's worse is that, this is during peak hours. It's 5pm on a Friday night. Did no one at SE think that this wouldn't be a problem in the future for every single new player that buys the game past this point?

yop you could also turn japanese french and german on in the DF most of them are able to understand english, i m french and i m always using DF all turns on and no probs till now, you ll find people faster.

What do you want SE to do about it? Force people to level tanks and healers so you can get a faster dps queue?

SE thought people would play nice, and help each other all time. Join together to help your fellow player through story line dungeons.

BUT, since there is no reward for them, they just don't care.

There is no reason for someone to do dungeons once they complete the story because Fate grinding is how everyone levels there alts, it was expected that people would level alts through dungeons so in the end it shouldn't be a problem. Also the dungeon finder originally was suppose to choose from all servers, but it was crashing the game by doing that, so they had to break the servers up into 3 or 4 groups, so there is also now less people to choose from.

This, yes. Please make sure you are checking ALL languages when you queue up, it reduces the wait time significantly.

Yeah, perhaps the healers and tanks must be forced to join a dungeon to let the DPS get through the story... sorry, yes its bad that the story requires a team to proceed but as most players insist on taking on the damage roles and leaving the others to other players, you will get this in every mmo... Tera online was the same, as a Mystic I got instances in seconds but DPS classes struggled, hell even in WoW as a Feral Druid Cat I had to wait for dungeons.

Also, today after the maint, the duty finder is broken for a lot of people so you might have longer than normal wait times as there are less people able to queue up. I can't at all.

During peak time the queue for DPS actually gets longer. I have been signing for DF at 5 am and as a DPS I joined not one but two DF in less than minute. One instantly. It's a matter of statistics.
