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

[zen555]

1 HOUR waiting to find group, 55 mins to reserve duty. This is garbage. It will only get worse as more people hit 50.

The truth is that it's not anymore a "dps issue". A good part of players created summoner, which can easily turn into scholar to improve their duty finder. I did, however while I find party in 10 minutes, I loose around 30 minutes reserving instance.
And it gets worser during night because of this terrible handling (eu with na), basically filling up servers the entire time.

Yea, SE is waiting to see how many paying customers they will have, but they won't have paying customers in this way. I have to pay 12€/month for a game, I expect it to provide a TOP QUALITY SERVICE, no matter what, otherwise simply I won't pay, as a lot of people will do so.

This is standard bullshit . Even if you join whit a premade 4 man party you get reserving istance sometimes for more then 30 minutes up to one hours

Exactly this. I made a party on my own server, put us in queue, and waited forever before giving up. There are too many people accessing that instance or server group or whatever. I was able to get into Ifrit, Titan (story), and Sunken Temple of Qarn with no problem.

I stopped playing FFXIV around 3 days ago after realizing that once 50 there are only two dungeons from which to get gear for the "real" end game content. One of said level 50 dungeons I've visited over 20 times and only fully completed it a total of 5 times, the other dungeon I've never made it past the first boss.

I play video games to have fun, not bash my head against a wall for hours on end on a simple 4 man dungeon. I can see 8 player and 24 player raids progressing in difficulty however the 4 player dungeons are just way to over tuned for my tastes and I don't see many "not as good players" making it to level 50, my fiance has no desire to play anymore after her getting stuck on Titan for two days.

You can also toss in the sheer lack of optimizations for the PS3 or some PCs causing serious rendering issues when there is more than 8 players and NPCs on screen at one time, as it stands it doesn't seem like the PS3 version will be fixed and will be used as a "Demo" till they release the PS4 version.

What's the excuse this time? Could they not anticipate that 50 players would be running AK? It's the only dungeon that drops level 60 gear and a decent amount of mythology. How can you put a cap on how many people can be running an instance at once? especially when there is nothing else to do end-game until you're through Titan?

I hate to sound petty but a lot of guilds took advantage of speed runs and got their gear for Titan and have moved onto the coil. How can we even hope to keep up when we have to pull each and every mob on top of hour long queues for the only end-game progression dungeon? Seems like poor planning and design.

Please look forward to it.



I waited for another 20 or so minutes after that, but I finally had to do human things like eat food and I realized I'd just be even more annoyed/livid if it popped when I stepped AFK for a few minutes.

223 mins awesome lol

They just need to add more Mythology stone places, problem solved. Ampador Keep instance gets pretty damn full.

That and they needed to not design the duty finder system so it is "instance specific" where one instance gets overloaded. The damn thing should be designed to handle whatever load of dungeons are being utilized dynamically, some of the networking design decisions in this game are baffling and short sighted.

[Astralis]

The thing is, duty finder is implemented to get lesser time when entering dungeons. But then why the hell would we wait for 2hours just to get in an instance to get to the weekly cap.

SE it is pretty common sense to not let people wait to enjoy dungeons if you are asking them to pay.

Se is a big company why the hell do you need to be cheap when it comes to upgrading your instance server. This is so far the only game that lets players wait just to get in a dungeon in a complete party!

[Yachisan]

currently in a premade party for AK reserving instance is way too long. If it were I solo queue'ing as a dps 30-45mins i understand but SE please explain the process of how reserving instances work for premade parties? This needs to be fixed asap or your going to lose alot of 50's that would be otherwise subscribing. thanks
