Problems with ST queue taking a long time for tanks

[The_Last_Dragoon]

The queues feel that long for dps as well. I've waited no more than 20-25 min as a tank for ST, but it can easily be pushed to 45 min on dps due to member withdrawals. Make sure not to mark the "join in progress" checkbox when queuing as a tank since it always feels like it holds off on matching you up with a "new" group until you've reached a time threshold.

It's easy to get spoiled by the insta-queues for tanks, but you are definitely not entitled to a wait free experience. In fact, maybe longer queues are just what's needed to humble certain players who constantly ask to be kicked or kick someone in order to leave without penalty so they can insta-queue again for a different dungeon/party from the roulette.

we only need 3 tanks for the raid. so if there are 3 tanks taking the spots before you, you're doomed, forced to wait for the next raid in queue while the current queue still waiting to get 24 people.

I love the Group B tank that stays on the second boss when he reflects damage. DPS tanking adds or the heals get to tank that add.

Two tanks did stop this a little bit.

I find it kind of funny that someone asked in this thread for there to be two tanks per party in ST.

The raid only needs like one tank in the entire alliance frankly.

Either way I've never had a solo tank queue time anywhere close to as bad as what the OP says.

Queue times aren't the same for every server. On my DPS roles I have most queue times < 5 minutes for example. Does that mean that the long queue time for DPS isn't an existing problem? Not quite, it merely indicates that the server may not be representatitive for the overall community .

Check with DPS, they will let you know what their normal queue time is. It seems that ST has given dps a welcome break from crazy queue times. With the queue time you have, find a hobby, learn a craft. Lots of things you can do with that time.

No, but queue times are the same across a data center, and Sargantas is on the same center I am.

Unless you're either queueing at extremely low activity hours (1AM) or queueing for something nobody does (eg Turn 3), where the OP says "30-60 minutes average" I think the longest I've had is ~30 minutes after accounting dropped groups etc.

Or maybe I just don't notice anymore; after a 3 hour wait for a Stone Vigil group that failed to complete it in 2.0 any queue time that isn't like an hour long no longer bothers me.

You're complaining about tank queue times? Really?



Let me go grab a few onions to see if I manage to shed a tear for you.

But what if 4 tanks queue at the same time? It would suck if the 4th tank has to wait for next queue. The only reasonable solution is to make it dynamic. All tanks that are queued get in and then fill it out with healers that have been waiting a few minutes and if there is still room let those DPS that have been queued for the past hour or so in.

Then we can do the following: 4 tanks, 1 healer, 3 dps. Fortunately, further adjustments, of course, can be made to further attempt to reduce ST tank que times.
