75 minute Queue.

[Tupsi]

The queue system was working beautifully before they started splitting us off into groups 'based on class/job distribution.'

And here lies the problem....there is only ONE 4 man lvl 50 dungeon that gives tomes of mythos and gear worth a darned.

So the result is that the servers delegated for that instance are over run every Monday since there is no CHOICE.

If there was more variety, I bet my hat there would be no 'reserving instance' for up to 2 hours on mondays.

Most MMOs these days launch with multiple small group dungeons and some with HM versions. Evidently, we only get one....

I have already done over a 100 runs now and I loathe the place deeply.

Just not sure why we're forced to wait (98 minutes I'm at now).

Because you, along with everyone else and their friends and neighbors all decided it's a brilliant idea to do the same thing at the same time as everyone else.

Do you go out during rush hour traffic and get surprised when you get stuck in traffic?

Probably. Then complains how airplanes do it better.

First MMO out of a long list that I have played which required me to wait for hours on end in a FULL group just to get into it. You can come up with excuses all you want but most game companies would increase server caps especially in a game that only has one lvl 50 4 man dungeon and that's it.

And of that long list how many did you play at launch? I doubt any of them had much more max level content then FFXIV does now. People are upset over things that will be straightened out in time but they jump to compare them to 8+ year old MMOs as if they launched with perfection.

Blizzard went to the shitter the second craptivision merged with them. Even SC2 sucks now.

Time Expired 77 minutes.

Average wait time 19 min.

Why am I still waiting?

Some people aren't fortunate enough to wait this long.

This has to be fixed.

World of Warcraft had 12 million subscribers and they had no problems.

What are your employees doing wrong?

Please fix it.

Thank you.

oh no... you havent played wow have you? a DPS had to wait up to 1 hour for a dungeon, and if a tank or a healer left, boom 30 mins waiting, tanks had insta queue and healer had quite a fast one. this is not a problem with the company, probably there isnt enough ppl at the moment you queue (sounds like nonsense but its true). btw i played wow for 5 years and the wow queues are 5 man not 4 man

Why am I still waiting?

Because there currently aren't enough instance servers. It has nothing to do with the Duty Finder. You are simply placed in a queue because all instances are full.

This has to be fixed.

Yes, and it will be.

I have played World of Warcraft since open beta. I can tell you that they had a LOT of problems when they first launched. Most notably, that most people couldn't even access the game (sound familiar?) let alone enter dungeons. Naturally, after having been around for nearly a decade, the game now runs with minimal problems. I'm sure the same will be true for FFXIV when it reaches that milestone. But it seems rather stupid to compare a veteran MMO to one that has only been live for a little over one month.. don't you think?

What are your employees doing?

Several things. Most recently, they have resolved the 1017 errors and increased their data centers & relieved server tension enough to re-open character creation across several realms.. not to mention resuming the sale of digital orders. Now, I would imagine they are working on the increase of their instance servers.

Don't be "that" guy.. do a google search to educate yourself on the terrible problems that plagued World of Warcraft when it was just a brand new MMORPG. Your beloved Blizzard is far from perfect. It's just hard to see that now since they have been running their game for nearly a decade.

I love how people try to think up clever comparisons and ignore the fact that it's SE's fault and not the players that there is a wait, the conditions they set are perfect for creating the congestion issues and they don't want to do anything about it. In fact, the only thing they did to the dungeon is make it take even longer by adding more mobs... lol
