Dps long Que why!

[Reishi]

Well i have been queuing now for over 3 hours trying to do titan Story,I can't progress and I am even level 40 so already over the level..yes I am DPS so I understand the queue time can get long but this is a joke ,not being able to progress the main story,yes i am in a FC but they all seem to be only interested in doing all the new quests...so us who are still working through the story are sc*wed..way to go

With the patch released today it is of course kinda hard to find people who want to do that stuff with you. Will have the same problem on my second character today, really not looking forward to it. I guess in time for the week end the first wave will be over and people will return to normal business.

It's not about the "interesting". It's about majority of people preferring to not feel responsible for when bad things happen. Tanks also dont .

I think Asuras is right. It's a lack of interesting game play.

For example: I wanted to be a warrior when I first started playing this game. I loved the way their Artifact looked. But I was so bored I was about ready to quit the game before I even reached level 20 trying to play it. It was just dull to me. Very repetitive and mindless. The disciplines of Magic were the only classes that appealed to me.

So I think more people would play a tank role if they expanded their game play to appeal to more people.

In other words: it's not that we don't want any responsibility or are lazy. It's just that we want to have fun. And the current tanking classes in the game just aren't much fun to play for many of us.

Aye I gave up at 240 mins queuing,went and played a Diff character,it's just crazy that you are waiting on other players to complete the story for me this is the main negative of the game,I wish they would of added in an option for solo as well (just for the story) and scale it accordingly,then at least you can progress.

DoM simply have more rotations up till 20 compared to tanks. That's kind of the way it works with this game. Monks, DRGs and Bards are also facing the same thing pre-20.

To say that tanks are boring simply because they didn't have many skills to use in comparison to DoMs who actually have access to skills that they use all the way to 50 at an earlier stage is not really good at all.

I would say that it is more of a case of you preferring interesting combinations of skills and effects which is what you won't get playing any tanks, conj, lnc, arc, pug up till 20.

But in reply to the OP. DPS queues are long because many tanks prefer to run with statics or friends and thus reduces the already smaller number of tanks and healers in the DF queues. Also the truth of what the poster I quoted stated about FATEs, Hopefully the duty roullette will increase the pool of tanks and healers for random dungeons as to get the reward, you need to que solo. But we'll see.

The Daily roulette isn't giving a big enough reward. While i have both a Pld & middle of leveling a wht mage the rewards aren't worth it even though I'm getting them anyway. As you said I'm healing for a friend who's leveling a dps and in turn he is rolling a healer/tank afterwards while i go dps. Healer isn't instant all the time... but for the most part 5minute or less queues are all I see compared to DPS queues.

Also Avorniel you must understand, easy mode trails give no rewards... once people do them that's it until 50. Unless a new player is at same point in the storyline you'll get no1. dungeon roulette can change this a little but not much. Try queuing for other dungeons it'd be much faster and ask friends to tank/heal ur trail's.

Also why not roll a tank? use the mythology on your dps main and all greed rolls you win can be used on other classes... my wht mage is 43 but I have a full set of 50 gear from dungeons waiting. If dungeon times are not less than 5-10minutes I'll use my pld to farm DL

Tried duty roulette on my 32 DRG. After Id already done it previously for the tomes (low level roulette) end of the dungeon the bonus was 86k xp. plus 800-1500 xp per trash mob. about 4-6k per boss.

That was Halitali. First one I ran as PLD was coppermines (normal). Didnt see xp as 50 already.

XP for levelling second and subsequent classes with roulette is huge.
