Duty Finder Queue times.

Experienced way to many queue times over 1 hour. Instead of just finding players from the same data center.. improve it to search across data centers. Or a way that’s similar.
Thanks in advance.

EDIT:
Class: Paladin, Knight
Level 70 cap.
Queued up multiple times of the day during the week and weekends. From early birds to night owls. Sht wasn't like this back during the lv.50 cap.

Your suggestion already exists. It's called Party Finder - cross world parties are formed and do content. I now use it exclusively unless I'm with my FC.

Cross data center pf or df wouldn't help either. Since there are much more people playing dps than tank or healer. It's the same on every data center.

You have used party finder right? It works cross servers. You could also find a tank LS to help you or make friends with tank players just don't abuse them.

things to also consider - what class are you playing? if you are dps - expect longer queue times. what time of day are you playing? during work day hours there will be less people on the game.

Yes. I have used party finder.. it's cross worlds but not data centers. Same result.

Tank, heal...or deal.

Paladin, sometimes Dark Knight. Time of day? Sht I experienced it from 4am, 7am, 10am, 12pm, 4pm, 7pm, 10pm, 12am multiple days of the week. Otherwise I wouldn't have put time aside to make a thread lmao.

This wasn't an argument, but rather an accurate depiction of whats gonna happen every time you queue since the game launched. It's not Eorzea's biggest secret: If you tank or heal you won't wait, if you DPS, you're going to wait. I wouldn't count on that formula changing, as it hasn't since 2013.

Whatever. My bad though, I didn't state that I was queuing up as a tank role. So yeah. 😂

O.o Oh wow as a tank role hmmm that does not sound right at all. Are you queuing for parties in progress also? Are you on a PC or PS4 by chance? I play in both and have noticed some long queues if I'm on PS4 compared to PC. Based on the times you are normally playing it does seem a bit odd. Also is your setting set up as free lancer?

I have noticed longer waits on areas under 60 even as a tank. However on 60+ seems to be average wait 5-10 min max as a tank or healer. DPS the longest I've seen 30 min or so doing roulette. Are you queuing for individual dungeons / raids or roulette? If your doing individual it can normally take 15-30 min or so DPS 10-20 tank and healer from what I have experienced.

If your Doing PotD then yeah those have gone up quite a bit. Your better of Solo. Been 10-30 on those.

>.> Can't say I've ever waited longer than 3 minutes as a tank....EVER. Even now.

I dont think I have ever seen more than a minute. 9-10 times I hit Join it goes off instantly.

Well the tanks I know personally don't wait for end game either as far as I can tell, but I could see where that would possibly extend the wait a bit.

Usually 3 minutes are during usual morning times here when everyone is at work/school. afternoons/nights? instant.

This is for any content, low end and end game.

Yeah for end game raids you will be waiting close to an hour+. Your better off just finding an endgame FC / LS / Group. people are very picky and random groups usually irritate most players.

I'm curious as to what you're queuing for OP; tank queues should be relatively quick for any and all dungeons, slightly slower for trials, and a bit slower for alliance raids. But no where near an hour. Are you trying to queue up for old Extremes or old 8-man raids? If so, PF is the better option for those pieces of content. People rarely directly queue for old Extreme trials, Coil, or the Alexander raids.

What is it that you are queueing for that’s taking that long? I play DPS and the longest I’ve waited is probably around 40 minutes. As a tank you should be getting insta queues.

Maybe I need to switch to PC. xD But yeah I'm grateful that the ps4 and pc servers are crossed. You're on Balmung, that might help too. I've nostly experiencd it during individual queues. But sometimes roulettes as well-- barely mentor or expert roullette. But the rest.. especially alliance raids in general roulette or individually are a drag. D:
Thanks for the thoughful input though. You're awesome.

Thank you for your input. No I wasn't queuing for any of the older content. Mainly stormblood.

If it’s specifically SB’s Extremes, I would still recommend PF for them; just easier than using DF. If it’s Omega Normal, I don’t know what the queue times for those are like; I haven’t done them in quite a while.

No problem if you need help I don't mind helping you out I mainly focus on relics currently while I wait for new content and do it for tomes anyways.

I'm on Faerie. My husband is a paladin main. His queues for roulette or individual dungeons never take that long and he plays at various times of the day. I think the most he's ever had to wait was 10 minutes.

Alliance Raid Roulette is still weird to take an hour, but at least that I understand why it might take that long.

Also maybe you have bad language settings? Some people think having all 4 languages help, but that actually can have mixed results.
