Less waiting, more playing - Multiple DF Queue

Nobody likes waiting for a DF party to fill. Sure, you can do some other stuff like craft, gather and the like but mostly, you just do nothing.

I'd like the ability to queue for multiple DF parties. For example, maybe queue up my Brd for my weekly Ifrit, Brd again for weekly Titan, Brd again for weekly Garuda, my Whm for CT and my Drg for low level dungeon roulette. First one that fills is the one I take (which auto cancels the others of course). That should result in faster fills for everyone.

Less waiting, more playing.

or sign up both party finder and duty finder at the same time.

Am I losing my mind? You can select up to 5 different things before you queue up...

Certain things such as duty roulette force you to only pick one.

Can't do that. Can only be in PF or in DF, not both

The idea here is to let people queue on different jobs if they so desire. I'd be behind this.

I think this would be great. It would also be nice if you could choose multiple jobs/roles for an instance. Like if I want to do Titan HM, I could choose PLD, BRD, WHM. Then whichever one is needed is the job I'm assigned.

This would make the DF process much more complicated, but maybe they could keep it the way it is for a quick/easy DF, but have an Advanced link that would open up the additional options (select instances and the jobs you are willing to play for each one).

I am 100% in favor of this. I always hate queueing on my alt char BLM who has a lower level BRD job. I wish I could queue for Low and High level roulette.

P.S. You queue for X modes in duty finder?! And get them down!??!

op is talking about queueing for multiple things as multiple different rolles at one time.

Ya, sorry for the confusion in my OP. The gist of it is to be able to queue for multiple roles.

I know, what I meant was, if we can do that it would be great.

I like the idea of queuing multiple jobs. There's plenty of times I didn't have a lot of time and just wanted something, anything to pop. Whether it was a low level roulette for a class I'm leveling or a high level or CT for one of my 50s.

yes, yes, yes! I would love to be able to queue up for different dungeons on multiple jobs. This would have been nice while I was leveling mulitple DPS classes. As everyone knows, the wait time is horrendous, but it would have been sweet to be able to queue up my level 15 pgl along with that brd or drg to see what would take.

"Certain things"... That only applied to the duty roulette because... wait for it... you're already queuing for multiple things at once.

Except there's no choice as to what you're going to get, and they all serve as one purpose. (Low level for experince, High level for mytho)

So being restrained because of that is...lol.

That's the point of it being a roulette. So you can't just decline some dungeon you don't want (which wouldn't fix the problem that were trying to solve when adding the roulette). Anything not the roulette (which queues you for more than 5 things btw) you can multi queue if you want different purposes. There's nothing stopping you from queuing for Brayflox, CT, PvP, WP, and Ifrit EX all at the same time.

And if I want to do a low level dungeon on my smn that I'm leveling or a high level roulette for tomes or CT on one of my 50s, whichever pops first? Tell me how to do this oh wise one.

Well you don't use the roulette. There's a reason they don't want people to queue for 40 things at once obviously. You select what you want to queue for and stay within the game limits. If you want to queue for more than 5 things, then use the roulette. The way they intended to use the duty finder (which if you played in the beta, you would have known this because they said this when they added it) is to queue for multiple things as your battle class and use your non battle class in the meantime. They didn't have any other things in mind when designing it and so registering with multiple classes was not a priority.
