Duty Finder - Long Ques Even After Patch...

[Welsper59]

Sir, I'm playing a tank and still need to wait ridiculous times... not for a party but for an instance. The problem at hand is bad coding/bad servers to support the game. This is what is being complained about.

Yeah, but that's also why I mentioned that it's a new system for a new game. It's not even been a month since official release. The queue times for dungeons is not the only problem they need to worry about, yet it's also one of the more potentially expensive problems they want to fix. It's going to have some limitations that were not expected or perhaps that are needed for current stability (due to the rush of players).

Think of it like triage, if you're familiar with that. It has some problems, but it works, and in a reasonably short/acceptable amount of time. It can be addressed after more priority situated problems get fixed. Like, for example, I think many people can agree that the RMT spam is a bit more problematic atm. Not to mention making sure the 3102 and 90k errors keep to a minimum, in light of reopening digital sales soon. Patience is a virtue, and a reasonable (but likely temporary) wait time for everyone is acceptable for now.

Did you seriously just put RMT spam higher than a problem with the instance servers and their capacity?

Please tell me you didn't just do that.

I'd expect that from a twelve year old, but not someone older who believes themself to be mature and experienced in MMOs.

Here is a protip, since it is apparently an extremely hard work around and only a select few can do it. I'm going to tell you the easier method of doing this super hard ability to block spammers of any kind, ok? So you press your key 'O' right, and here comes one of the tricky parts - you left click blacklist, okay? Good now you hit add and then, this is really hard but bear with me, you type in the name of the person you don't want to see chat of and then find this really small button and left click add then accept on the next box that pops up. When you get really advanced at this you can do it directly from text commands, but I think it is just a little too much for the level you are at right now.

Okay, now that i've solved the extremely hard problem of RMT spam can we now agree that the next pressing issue is with the instance servers?

... you don't really understand "triage" do you? Nor the idea of something disruptive having influence upon a games well-being. The current DF server problem is less disruptive because it works, and at an acceptable level. It's technically a problem, but not one that disrupts the game. In the case of RMT, you have to actually add people in a convoluted way to the blist, which will only result in another person to add minutes later, every day of the week. Yeah, that's clearly less of a problem. Once a solution/remedy has been found, something else (maybe the instance server capacity) gets prioritized.

Don't speak of matters you clearly don't understand, yet somehow are putting complete bias towards.

The Duty Finder is not a new system... I hate to even mention the games name but its a prime example... WoW's dungeon finder is the EXACT same as the duty finder. It pairs people cross server etc but theirs even lets you see people on you own server such as guildies and friends as well as talking with them. SE's version is nothing more then a dumbed down broken version of what many other companies have already done.

You must be nuts... your comparing chat that you can ignore if you wish to something that PREVENTS you from playing the game at lvl 50... my mind is blown!

It's likely new tech for them. We don't have an inherent ability to understand everything about something just because someone else might know it. We wouldn't need schools if that were the case. Maybe I'm just out of the loop on this shared ability humanity has though.

? Are you saying that you literally cannot get into dungeons in DF ever? Like even after waiting 10hrs, it will never work for you? Since that's what would happen if something actually "PREVENTS" you from doing something. It blocks you completely. Now, as I'm sure it'll be taken out of context, that 10hrs was an exaggeration to emphasize a point.

[Somentine]

Wait, wait let me get this straight. Something that inconveniences you for a split second is worse than the duty finder issue? Are you honestly trolling right now?
I mean, your entire post is a contradiction; you claim that the DF works even if there is a delay, even when you have a party, but you believe that having to open your blist once every hour or a couple times in a short span due to switching main cities is an extreme problem and one requiring the immediate attention of all the devs to fix this extremely game breaking problem.
For real?
The current blist problem is less disruptive because it works, and at an acceptable level. It's technically a problem, but not one that disrupts the game.

Then you have the audacity to believe yourself a mature and experienced gamer?




Oh god, i'm done. You're too much.

the reserving instance problem aside, what exactly do you want them to do about the long wait times as a DPS? they cant make players not disband because of a wipe, and they cant make more people play tank and healer. I really want to hear what all of you suggest for a solution to this. Every single mmo out right now that uses a dungeon finder system has long queue times for DPS. The only solution to this that i know of is make friends with a tank or a healer, that's what i did.

[Saccharin]

Their biggest mistake is making it 1 tank, 1 healer, 2 DD - simply by making it 3 DD or 4 DD will fix this problem fast.

It wont fix the problem since in any MMO there is always a tank shortage because more people roll damage. I do find it baffling that they didn't learn from other MMOs who have the 3 damage, healer, tank set up and maybe bump it up to 4 dps, a tank, and a healer.

It's likely new tech for them. We don't have an inherent ability to understand everything about something just because someone else might know it.

If its already been done then they simply need to look at what others have done and modify code to work for them. That said, we are not gini pigs for SE to practice on. We paid for a product and we expect it to work. There is nothing odd about this because if you bought a car and it didnt work but they said they work working on a fix for it but didnt have an ETA you would be pissed.

? Are you saying that you literally cannot get into dungeons in DF ever?

AGAIN, the game was designed for the casual player. The casual player or any player for that mater does not want to be in ques for 30-45+ min due to shabby coding/servers when they PAID for something.
