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

[Camate]

Hello,

The development team is aware of the long wait times to reserve instances, and as mentioned by Yoshida during the Tokyo Game Show, we'll be increasing the amount of instance servers in mid-October to help alleviate this issue.

Lol, that is because you are QUEING as a DPS when there are not enough Healers and/or Tanks Queing, if you qued as another role you would be fine, so why are you complaining?

SE cannot Fix a game mechanic as large as not having enough tanks and healers in the que with some simple hotfix, use some common sense man.

THE ONLY WAY they can fix the DPS QUE TIME PROBLEM, since that is after all the only complaint now, is to make instances 5 MAN GROUPS, with 3 DPS instead of two.

They fixed the ridiculously long times to reserve an instance last week to some degree, because now it's under a minute all the time with a full group; which is the only thing I was referencing in SE's post.

You do realize the guy is queued with a full party, right?

No I did not, I have never seen a que past 1 min with a full party. My bad

Yeah, I've personally only queued w/ full for about 30-40 mins, but I also avoid AK on mondays because of the reset. I know a lot of high profile streamers have complained about hour-or-more instance waits, especially Mr. Happy.

That screenshot the OP posted is just him queing, no idea whatcha mean sir.

Offnote, SE cannot force tanks and healers to que, personally myself I only use DF if Im extremely bored and can't find a party on my own server. (rare) never waited more than 15 minutes for a full party que myself.

This topic is about the queue wait times, not the instance reservation wait times.

This topic is about the queue wait times, not the instance reservation wait times.

This feels like a troll post, but I'll attempt to be helpful.

There are specific servers that host instances for each dungeon. Yoshida covered this in some of the information that was released during/immediately after early access. Duty finder was causing worlds to crash because it was overwhelmed. So, they split the duty finder to draw from a smaller number of worlds and increased the number of instances that could be supported.

As an example, lets say there is one AK server (I have no idea, but there are probably 100). 1 AK server only has that zone in it. Duty finder takes that group and puts them in that virtualized instance of the AK zone on the server. Each server supports a number of instances as the same time. So one server in the data center might have 100 instances of AK running at the same time.

However, there is a limit to the number of instances each server can support. Early in the week, when everyone is trying to get their 300 tomestones complete, the instances for AK is full, preventing any further groups from entering. In other words, you can't enter one of those 100 AK slots until another group leaves that slot.

By increasing the number of AK-dedicated instance servers, they will increase the number of people that can run AK at the same time.

The end result (to directly address your point) is that it will eliminate wait times for completed groups.

I hope this helps with any consternation on the topic.

It is unfortunate that it will be several more weeks, but my static isn't ready anyway, so I'm not personally affected.
