2 HOUR QUEUE TIMES? MORE DUTY FINDER SERVERS NEED TO BE ADDED ASAP!

[Sin_Nombre]

Uh. They don't need to add more duty finder servers... that's the problem. They need to go back to having one duty finder server per data center. What they NEED to do is change the code and add hardware to support their population on FEWER duty finder servers. The larger the pool to select players from, the faster the queues.

I'm not lvl 50 yet, but I sure hope they resolve this issue quickly. If you have a group all formed up and hit "Enter", there should be ZERO wait. I feel for you guys going through this, as I'm not sure I'd be able to tolerate it myself. This is bad form on SE's part

[Stryker]

You guys didn't know? This is how you slow down the end game grind so people have to spend longer in the game. Duh.

All joking aside, my friends have complained about it and they're getting sick of tired of the wait. So much that they might just quit for a while and come back when this stuff gets fixed. Nobody should pay for a game in which you can't even play. In this case it's doing the ridiculous grind they have to in order to get the end game gear.

People say craft or level up another class, etc. But if you don't want to craft or level up another class then you shouldn't be punished for that decision. Not unless those other classes could give you a cross skill benefit. But I have always hated crafting, and when I hit 50 and this problem still exists I probably won't be happy with it either. I like combat, combat classes is what I like to play.

I've taken a backseat approach and decided to take my time. I'm not even 50 yet on any class, hell I haven't even gotten a class yet still on jobs. I'll hit 50 on my first and then proceed to work on the next, and the next and the next. While doing crafting, which I plan to farm all the materials myself. It'll take time but I'm okay with that, I'm not in a rush. By the time I sit down and decided to do endgame stuff all this hubbub will be fixed and a distant memory.

this is what happens when you make people spend 60 mins in an instance instead of the previous 20 and dont increase the number of instance servers

not only that, but its also what happens when the majority of your content (most of it endgame, which people are very quickly getting to) is just instanced and more instanced stuff. How about some NM/HNMs...faction leves (which were popable versions) Open dungeons, have the beastmen camps do what they did in 1.0 which was that they would drop keys and you could pop coffers for a change at some good gear or random loot/gil. What about a group city defense like XI had for ToAU. Maybe high end only areas sort of like sky and sea that a mix of stuff purely for 50's and you had to do some challanging stuff to get to it.

I get most of my ideas are from XI/1.0, but im not gonna stick to this game if all we do is linear gear treadmill through instance dungeons...dont think many people in general will.

It is extremely aggravating when people don't come back in time to commence. Whole group drops and has to reform. It feels like I am getting placed to the back of the queue rather than coming next it line as we should have been anyways.

[Serdapi]

Also everyone that cried to take away the speed runs, this is your reward.


More people trying to do AK as they get 50, with having it take 20-30mins longer than the speed runs = less instants available to cycle through the amount of people wanting to do AK.

So if you were one of the people screaming for speed runs to be gone, take your meds, drink water and move on.

Worst part is other than the materia melding the crafting for the most part is useless, gear is easily negated by GC items or dungeon drops. The only worthwhile crafting skill is probably for the food.

You are dps, of course you are waiting a long time

You are dps, of course you are waiting a long time

Why is EVERYONE constantly overlooking the fact that the OP is IN A FULL GROUP AND STILL HAS A QUEUE TIME!? Doesn't matter what damn class you are.
