Seriously how are we supposed to Catch up

Cannot for the life of me get a group for the Royal city 24 man raid.
Even Eden descent no-one needs to do it, as a progressing player how are we supposed to catch up if square doesn't offer an alternate path.
Seems like either you've done it or your stuck.

make a party finder

Like queue around the daily reset to draw in peoples doing roulettes?

Just did it yesterday. Since there are things like roulette, on prime time it shouldn't be an issue.

You just gotta be patient and perhaps try at different times if you are getting over 30 minute queues.

Unfortunately, the queues for later alliance non-current raids can suck due to people not needing to run them generally and (in alliance raids) lots of players deliberately lower their ilvl to get crystal tower, since they can basically be face rolled due to overgearing.

I really hope they come up with some method to either kill off or penalize that sort of cheesing, it's obnoxious.

I will say that once I tried to queue for Shiva EX for Wondrous Tails and after 4 hours of waiting I decided to try and undersize it. Since then I've rarely had to wait more than 25 minutes for a queue to pop. Maybe it was just bad timing the first time.

Have you set your duty finder to all languages? You're on a Japanese data centre (same as mine) - if you don't set it to pair you up with Japanese players then it's trying to assemble an all-English party for you.

Look for a gear icon on the top bar of the duty finder window.

EX primals pretty much never fill in the DF because they're not in any of the normal roulettes and there's no other incentive to run them synced (they're in mentor roulette, but VERY few people run that.)

I don't see why they wouldn't be under the Trials Roulette since they're not particularly difficult. Unless your entire party is just plain bad you can pretty much faceroll through them.

This. You'd be surprised how many people are willing to do random content for the lulz. Might take a while to fill, especially for alliance stuff, but give it a shot!

This is usually the answer. Que with japanese set as a matchable language(closer to prime time is better but not required) and your wait should be much shorter. Im under the impression that japanese players dont do the ilvl cheating to avoid the harder raids that is so prevalent on NA servers, so it shouldnt be too bad at all. The same technique or putting up a party finder will get you through the old eden tier too.
