40-50 minutes duty finder wait time

[Ageofwar]

I load he DF, wait 2-3 seconds, I'm in as a DPS. But play times can adjust that time frame. Early morning hours in EST zone and I wait from 5-20 minutes, evening hours and weekends are no problem.

I think it also depends on what DF content you are trying to do. try doing a DF on copperbell mines and you will likely be waiting a long time on a dps role where as try on AK and you will likely be in, in a few mins

Become really good friends with a tank or healer and have them queue with you all the time. That's really the only way to shorten the queue's as DPS unfortunately.

I often ask my Tanking friends to dungeon with me just for the sake of getting into one. I endure 40-50minute wait times each instance.

I started as Lancer, but switched over to Gladiator after seeing how bad the wait times were. I don't regret it at all. Longest time I've waited for a queue was 5 minutes.

As mentioned before, entering que on the DF with either a Tank or Healer will significantly reduce your wait time. Find a friend and que up together!

Also, your preferred language also has a LOT to do with que times. The DF with automatically attempt to wait for party members with the same language for obvious reasons.

In the DF main menu (where you select the dungeon) the top right corner has your preferred language highlighted. You can also highlight the other 3 languages before joining que, this will greatly reduce your wait time on ques (a lot of people with different languages are on different servers due to the inability to create characters on the server they would like).

[Syknus]

Do keep in mind that if you select the other languages you most likely WILL be qued up with people who do not understand anything you say. I wouldnt recommend this for your first attempt at a dungeon, but subsequent runs this should be acceptable. It will also afford you the opportunity to become familiarized with the built in language translator, it is a really fun part of the game being able to work with and talk with people who have a different native language.

I hope this little trick helps you out! (I typically see que times cut in half if not MORE when I do this)

OP you're lucky then. I'm haven't gotten into a dungeon in under 60 minutes. As a Dragoon it's so hard to find a dungeon that I don't even have my Chocobo and I'm lvl 31. The very fact I need dungeons with PUGs to even get my mount and use of the auction house is crazy.

I like using my WHM and PLD/MRD to access the dungeons faster and avoid long wait queues. The only drawback by using these classes that I have noticed is that there's a lot of pressure for these two classes since they can make or break the quest lol. If you're not a good healer or tank in such cases, the randoms you'll get paired will most likely bottleneck you or ragequit.

dont forget, a lot of people are fate farming, which also lowers the number of active tanks in the DF, tanks need to be more attractive to play and not so much as more rewarding, but less punishing, sadly people look at a bad pull on the tank and why they maybe havent marked, i play blm or wtm, and tend to lead the group especially with the marking and can guide the tank, groups need to be more supportive of each other then always look to the tank to do it all in that respect, tank doesnt mean group leader, they are just meat shields unless they aim to lead etc...

Shout for a group instead of using duty finder. This comes with the territory if you want to play the same class as the other bajillion players playing the game.
