New Characters, No Players

[KyteStones]

So this has probably been posted before but I didn't see anything that had straightforward answers so here it goes.

My girlfriend creates every single class separately, making each character unique and individual for each respective class.

I have been leveling alts with her on her new characters just to pass the time by and play the game together. She has almost 4 classes to 45 with one at 50.

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.

Thoughts? Don't say to stick to one character, I've tried telling her that. She doesn't like that.

DF Roulette in 2.1? Not sure how low level of dungeons they're considering. For really low level, I wonder if my chocobo could tank.. >.>

duty roulette should solve this

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.

Yes, there are plans to do something about this. That's why dungeon experience is being buffed, to encourage players to level their secondary/tertiarty/whatever class through dungeons, rather than FATEs. It's also why the Duty Roulette system is being implemented, which rewards players for signing up for random low level/endgame dungeons and the trials.

Check the patch 2.1 contents. The Duty finder changes as well as the Duty Board and the MIP systems should help with that. My son is the same way.

EDIT:

Also, Yoshi-P has stated he will be relaxing the requirements for entering and completing lower leveled dungeons, as in allowing players to enter with chocobo companions, and/or possibly allowing high levels to come in unsynced.

As well there is a system that will show players what roles are in short supply so you can queue as those roles and receive a bonus reward. They are also increasing the experience gained from dungeons to encourage people to level that way instead of FATE grinding. Changes are coming, no need to panic.

This community's attitude is starting to blow harder than my mother did to my father on the night I was conceived.

When you focus on the negative posts, you get negative vibes. stop replying to them and then they will stop making it worse. its what trolls do, they can't leave things well enough alone. There is enough positive responses to your query that there is no need to even acknowledge the bad. There is a fine line between feeding a troll and becoming one.

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.

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.

I don't know man, it must be bad luck. I just decided to randomly help some bard out with haukke, and the que was instant as a tank.

before you blurt again
pls go read 2.1 content
seriously go read properly then you can say if chaos or not

[Mikedizzy]

Hopefully they make the REWARD good enough to want to do some of those Dungeons again. I know me and my FC are going to re-do all the dungeons again using new alt classes/jobs just because we did not get to play them all together when the first game out because we were still all getting to know each other and such...I thought more people would be doing stuff like that....I guess that does not totally help your situation but maybe other people would be doing that onesies twosies also. Good luck!
