Long queue after 30?

Ugh...... I used to have instant queues all the time until 30, but now I feel more like a DPS class on my WHM, it takes anywhere from 15-45 minutes to get into something

Im guessing the main problem is all the new Arcanists gone SCH taking up WHM slots? Grrr, makes me hate ACN even more

Do Scholars even queue as healers? (I sure hope so.)

Yes, they do.

Also perhaps that people might not be rushing as much so,the higher you go the smaller the crowd. These issues will change when people start lvln up.

Yeah that is definitely a factor of course, but the difference between pre-30 queue times and post-30 is just night and day
Im quite shocked... I already had the suspicion SCH would get in the way of instant WHM queue but that it would turn out this bad?

The queue probably has nothing to do with SCH vs WHM. Most people haven't hit 30 yet with all the issues this weekend. In a few days it'll be fine.

as smn i roll sch for dungeons , dps have 1h waiting times..... so is a nono.....ans guess what? i join as sch and surprise! 1 tank , 2 summoners and me scholar..../cry

the que are there because either there isnt a WHM which in your case isnt the case, second reason for the que is no Tank but bucket loads of dps jobs. there are only GLA/WAR/PLD/MRD as tank only CON/WHM as healer not sure if SCH is counted as healer I know ACN isnt counted as healer, the best way I would go with is get a TANK and WHM when you go start duty finder you wont have a problem with getting dps, since theres bucket loads of em.

Meet a tank friend :D I queued as healer last night with my husband on tank, outside of primetime, and queue popped the same second we started duty finder.

well lets see, considering the game has been live for a few days how many level 30s are there? Maybe you should do something else so others can catch up?

I hear 30+ from my husband as a tank is instant still....maybe it is the Scholars.

im happy that i dont have to take hours to form and deploy a group like in ff11. trying to band a pug party together was a real hassle at times. on top of that, after you have invited ur members, now all of u need to pick and travel to a destination! i will proudly craft, grind and kill time while waiting in a queue to do stuff XD

I've started queuing as SMN as I started doing the 35+ Dungeons. Queues started taking to long as healer and when I queued up as DPS I would be in the dungeon in about 5-10 Min. I only do each new dungeon once or twice, but that's how my queues have been going.

I'm pretty sure it does. My buddy plays a tank, and pre-30; it was Healers with the instant queues. Post 30 it's the tanks with the instant queues. The only thing that changes at 30 is Scholars become queue-able as Healers...

So yeah, it's Scholars.

Yup... First time I noticed it was when I first queued for Haukke Manor after hitting lvl 30
My first thought was "Almost no one is lvl 30 yet so thats probably why", but after a few more tries and having to wait half hour for a queue each time, it became pretty obvious it was Scholars taking the place

It seems to have gotten better lately though, or maybe its just because Im selecting E, F, D to increase my changes (I highly recommend it, everyone speaks english anyway), but on certain dungeons like Stone Vigil and Dzamael, the queues are nearly instant again, so... YAY

Plenty of other things to do in this game than complain about Queue times. Be lucky you are even in the game playing whilst other folks are still battling the 1017 Raid Boss.

If SCH were the issue than that would mean that healers now outnumber DPS, which is not the case. The issue is the lack of tanks 30+.

Safe to say now there are plenty of lvl 30's around.

My guess is that the sea of carbys turned into a sea of fairies and a lack of tanks to go around

As others mentioned:
I think it's a combination of lack of Tanks (still) and more jobs that can queue as healers now (new). After all before 30 it's only Conj who can queue as healers and there are a whole lot of SCH out there now.

I noticed longer ques too, always waiting on tanks.

Cant say i have a problem, i even get instant invite if im a bit lucky but my waititime is about 2-7 mins. lvl 46 Whitemage.

It's 2 days old screenshot for Mannor. Got entry at around 35-36 mins :p

It's a lack of tanks and an excess of healers. Two days ago I was in Mor Dhona waiting around for FATEs and there were eight fairies all around me. I have been in FATE parties where half the people were healers, lol. Too many people saw that CNJ were getting instant queues during BETA and decided to give it a try.

I only had the Queue issues for Manor, after that the longest I've waited was 2 minutes.

I also would like to add that it is also because people are doing FATEs than they are Dungeons. They'll do it soon though because the Lv40+ Dungeons gives a specific Seal.
