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

[ForteXX]

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.

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

I don't understand why people feel the need to farm all 8 of their AK runs on Monday. It's not getting you your gear any faster than spreading them out. I'd like to do 1 run a day, but I don't even bother queuing on Mondays since people just dog-pile in all day long.

Thanks SE, it has already started to be much better than it was last week, keep up the good work!

How bad was it last week? This is mine from today...

Some people reach the threshold of getting a new piece of ilvl90 within the week's cap so they want to get the gear asap to help with coil.

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.

roll something that isn't a dime a dozen?

Queues are near instant for me as a healer..there IS something you can do to change it if you're that tired of it.

Way to not actually understand the conversation happening within the thread.

Read before posting. This issue affects everyone. Healers included. Even a pre-made group can be kept waiting 40 minutes to an hour.

Over a month to fix such a huge issue? Seriously?

I understand fine, thanks.

Long queue times, lots of QQ..thanks for trying to say otherwise, and my Queue times are instant, almost always, that is in my post..even in pre-mades. I don't see the issue.

It's obvious this guy doesn't run AK Sunday-Tuesday.

Doesn't matter your role, doesn't matter if you have three other people in your group before you queue. If you try and run AK Sunday-Tuesday, you'll have a 15-45m instance queue.
