[Beginner question] Is it normal to wait half an hour for the Titan story duty finder

[Hyunckel]

So you know, servers are not all linked. They're grouped into data centers. The Duty Finder will pull players from any server in your data center, so while you'll see players from multiple servers, you won't see players from every server.

Odin is part of the Chaos data center. Chaos is an EU data center. You might have a bit better luck enabling German and French (and heck, while you're at it, Japanese) in the Duty Finder's language list, so you're not missing out on large chunks of your data center's player base. Just be prepared to auto-translate if need be.

I already know all that. Mu Duty Finder is set to English and French already. I'm 99% there are 0 Japanese players in this DC. I'll try to enable German to see if it makes any difference.

According to some FrontLine pvpers, enabling other languages besides English may ACTUALLY INCREASE QUEUE TIME, at least for FrontLines. I tried to remove French from the Duty Finder options and it was not better though.

You get a decent tome bonus for low level roulette, but sadly it's just not enough to entice most veteran players into queuing for it. Many people will run expert roulette, sometimes high level roulette, or spam a particular dungeon (Snowcloak mostly) to cap tomes.

At present the DPS queue times are crap, but there is hope! SE just really messed up with the timing. Releasing a new DPS job (everyone wants to try out a new job) into the mix when we are already suffering from lack of tanks/healers in queues just bloated the problem even further. However! When 3.0 is released and we get the new tank and healer jobs, we will surely notice a significant decrease in DPS queues ^_^

Well no wonder Lv.50 people wouldn't queue for Low Level Duty Roulette then. I know I wouldn't as well unless I'm utterly bored lol

As for the release of Dark Knight (which was the reason for me to start the game and find out it wasn't released yet lol. Somehow I thought the latest 2.4 patch was the new expansion going live lol) I can't wait for it.
But I'm not sure if it will really relieve DPS' queue times. Cause 95% of people dislike Tanking. I know I don't particulary like it. You're just a punching ball getting healed (sometimes) while your time play around mechanics and survive to end the fight.

I had some fun for the first time in that last dungeon I had to do (brayflox's Long Stop) on the last boss. I, for once, had to do something in order to 'help' in the fight. Well, it was still just sidestepping the BIG BAD AOE INCOMMING. Moving the boss away from something. Getting aggro on adds (for the first boss fights, not the last one) etc...

If it wasn't for insta queue I wouldn't have chosen a tanking class ^^ But I didn't want to wait 1 hour + to do my quest required runs on my first character, that's masochism.

i took 2.4 as an opportunity to level my WAR, which is now 42 and still rising
having fun with tank after taking DRG to 50

I wanted to play Dragoon at first, but after hearing about them doing lower dps, having lower utility, and taking +50% damage from unavoidable magic aoe, + the awful dps queue times, I said screw it, I wanna enjoy the game and see content, not sit in queue afk in capital city (already did that in Mists of Pandaria which was why I unsubbed and the jerk community lol)

Alright time to queue again and see if the queue time is faster now

Thanks everybody

EDIT: Insta queue once again like usual lol. I noticed there is always one DPS afk and making the timer goes off after 45 sec (someone withdrew etc) ahah
Did it on second try cause on first try the healer fall off into lava from being too far away during Titant's jump
