New Characters, No Players

I think you should have at least read the upcoming changes in 2.1 before blurting his thread.

There'll be the DF roulette, and since the prize is good enough, there'll be more people popping in all dungeons.

Perhaps you shouldn't post in other people threads if you are going to be quite the PITA with your responses. Not all of us live on the forums or see posts about "2.1 patch notes" someone of us do lead busy lives and can't visit the forums on a regular basis.

duty roulette should solve this

This sounds like its going to create more chaos to me. A random dungeon through DF which I'm sure will turn into "This dungeon again?? I'm out" which could also create LONGER queue times IMO.

Before you blurt out another post on this thread, consider that I do not live on the forums. I do not live on the lodestone. I do have a life. I do not have the issue the majority of people have complaining about lack of content stalking every piece of information that gets posted about new content. I do have other things to do. This is General Discussion. I am allowed to post and discuss, not to mention share my experience. Before blurting out, stop and think. You'll look less like an arrogant fool.


To the rest of you that actually used your brains and discussed with me, thank you.

You don't have to live on the forums to read the top of the dev tracker. reading one post that was plainly visible would have prevented this thread.

Because everyone who comes on the forums clicks the dev tracker link.

But reading is hard.... and requires you to have no life....apparently...

Nevermind that the info is there before logging into the game, you need to have no life and stalk the forums for it! >.>...

Considering it takes me 5 seconds to input my password and the main screen that pops up is the Lightning fate promotion, and nothing really "screaming" 2.1 patch note at me which would cause my attention to divert means I haven't seen it.

You know, they could have been "nicer", but you kind of lose any credibility when you purposely ignore reading information that comes directly from the development team.

Regardless, yeah, queues are longer now. Not only because there are less low level players, but also because FATE grinding nets you a lot more experience than doing dungeons.

This and not sure why you're getting offended by people telling you to read the 2.1 dev stuff first. The time spent telling other people you have a life outside the forums could have been time spent reading up on changes coming to the game since you clearly have some time now.

EDIt ok OP I guess you will have to have known that what you were asking was asked and answered in the last live letter.

[Seirra_Lanzce]

This is the top dev tracker http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...13#post1619213

And no where under that is there any info on what the OP was asking.

What should to OP be looking for? The search on this sucks.

At the beginning it was rather easy for me to queue up with her in the lower end dungeons and get a group within 5 to 7 minutes...but now the lower end areas are ghost towns, with 5 to 6 people running around. We queued up for Hakkuke Manor (im pretty sure I spelled that wrong) and I did it as my healer. 45 minute queue times just looking for a tank.

Had to run Halitalai (again I'm sure I spelled that wrong) after for her class.. and hour and 12 minutes queue time..i was my healer and girlfriend a dps. She switched over to her Tank class after just to see, and i switched from healer to dps, and it was 45 minutes looking for a healer. Healer and tank combo still took 45 minutes to find 2 DD'S.

Are there any plans to do anything about this? Or for people who payed the extra money to have 8 characters per server just wasting their money. My girlfriend has resorted to fate grinding to 50 instead of doing the main quest line due to the over an hour wait times when she's soloing in the DF when we aren't online. SO instead of being able to do the main story in 2 or 3 weeks at her own pace, at this rate its gonna take much longer.

Tell us more about Duty Roulette.

A: *In-game footage of the Duty Roulette is shown in the video.
A: We've added a "Duty Roulette" tab to the Duty Finder. In this tab there are four categories: low level, high level, main scenario, and guildhests. On the right-hand side of the Duty Finder, when you queue up for the roulette, the rewards for completing the duty will be displayed. There will also be a reward bonus displayed, which will be earned when participating as a role that is in short supply. For example, if you are leveling your secondary character, once you hit level 16 the roulette will become available and I think your levels will go up quite quickly if you are a role that's in demand. We will also be adjusting the amount of experience points earned in dungeons in patch 2.1, so I believe dungeons will be a great option for efficient leveling. These bonuses can be earned once a day for each category, so you'll be able to earn a maximum of four bonuses in one day if you participate in all categories.

• Low Level
  • Sastasha
  • The Tam-Tara Deepcroft
  • Copperbell Mines
  • The Bowl of Embers
  • Halatali
  • The Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak
  • Haukke Manor, Brayflox's Longstop
  • The Sunken Temple of Qarn
  • Cutter's Cry
  • The Stone Vigil
  • The Navel
  • Dzemael Darkhold
  • The Aurum Vale
  • The Howling Eye
  • Cape Westwind
  When queuing up for Low Level, you'll be matched for which ever duty is immediately available. This is for both players looking to rechallenge dungeons and also for new players. Although the high level roulette is better for those seeking Allagan tomestones, players who've just hit level 50 but aren't up to challenging higher level duties are welcome to use the low level roulette and save up tomestones at their own pace.
  
• High Level
  • The Wanderer's Palace
  • Amdapor Keep
  • Copperbell Mines (Hard)
  • Haukke Manor (Hard)
  • Pharos Sirius
  Allagan tomestone bonuses will be granted for all instances after reaching level 50. Until level 50, players will receive only an experience points bonus, which also applies to rest experience.
  
• Main Scenario
  • Castrum Meridianum
  • Praetorium
  This is a way to reward players for helping others to complete the main scenario.
  
• Guildhest
  • All available guildhests
  
  Since guildhests are meant to serve as tutorials, no Allagan tomestones will be rewarded for their completion.

======================================


Practically with this SYSTEM in place,

You will have more ppl QUEING UP for the lower dungeons.

and Doing so will nett them rewards as well.

It basically answered the OP question.
