any plans to fix DF wait times?

[KisaiTenshi]

Why are so many people here saying there is no fix for DPS queue times?!

The fix is beyond obvious, and it's simply to increase number of dps per party..

I play tank, but i don't know how you guys can stand 20m queues for stuff nor why so few people seem to be upset with this..

That wouldn't fix it, it would make the dungeons even more of a faceroll than than it is. Most of the "Easy" dungeons can even be done with only 3 players, though take significantly longer. Even under some circumstances you can finish a dungeon with just one caster who has a healing magic and one tank. These are really fringe scenarios.

Like the correct fix for this is to queue for the roulette dungeon with any available job the player has, instead of players having to select Tank, Healer or DPS beforehand and then have to sit in the queue for 20 minutes when another job may have an instant-in. To give you an idea, nobody actually queues for roulette unless they are doing the daily reward, and could quite honestly play them with whatever they have at the appropriate gear ilevel. When people "need" a specific dungeon, they queue for that dungeon with the specific job they need.

DRK will fix que times

DF queue isn't really broken, except for possibly PVP queues which has some hidden matchmaking coding.

I see your main is Arcanist, so I assume you're playing DPS, Summoner job? If so get used to long queue times. It isn't going to get any better.
Here are the underlying issues:
(1) nobody is queueing for the duty you want to do
(2) other people queuing for the duty you want are of the same role as you, and you're competing for spots (you need to wait in line)

There isn't really any easy way to fix those 2 things.

I see you have Arcanist leveled? Perhaps you might want to try switching over to Scholar. Your queue times should improve significantly, if you're willing to try out the Healer role.

They are going to do the only thing they can to fix them, which is add DRK and AST to the game.

After DRK hits, it should be stupid easy to find a tank.

Well slightly easier due to a lot more Tanks in queue for lower level stuff but there will always be way more DPS than Tanks/Healers so it won't make a difference. A new DPS class is also coming and most people will want to play that. The balance will remain the same not enough Tanks to go around.

Dps who are just dps won't go tank just because a new job exist for tanking. Tanks may jump on dark knights as a change of doing the same, but statistically the number of dps that will become tanks is probably going to be very low.

I think the best idea is to allow tanks who want a loot priority of another class to do so while still being the tank roll in a DF.

Regardless of what we do, DPS counts is still going to be bigger than both healers or tanks.

Making a team of 4 DPS, 1 healer, 1 tank for a low level dungeon? It is STILL going to be about the same queue time, because what matters here isn't the DPS count, it's the tank and healer counts. Look at the bigger picture.

What deters away the tanks and healers from queuing low level roulette isn't just the small reward, it is the mind set that comes with running the dungeon. It's too long, too boring and well, too bland. How many times have you queued as a SCH in low level roulette, end up getting tam-tara for the ten thousandth time (exaggeration), and putting on cleric stance to dps the whole time while Eos is healing?

In order to "fix" this issue, it would be worthwhile to research why some people like to run Titan EX again and again. And why some people can't even stand the idea of doing sastasha, even though it's a lot easier.

I have a feeling it will also be easy to find stupid tanks!

Titan Ex:
1. Challenge
2. Reward regular (glamour / desynth gear). This is pretty limited as i100 earring can be gotten much easier than the i90 dropped by Titan
3. Reward extraordinary (PONY!!!!)

Compared Low Level Roulette
1. Little challenge
2. Reward regular (glamour items)
3. ummm.... got nothing here.

People only replay content when it matters to them. How many people bother running Titan Ex once that person has received the rewards desired from it?
The only ones I know are generally selling clears or helping Friends/FC members get through it. There must be a reward for the effort or people will not bother running that content.

uuuuuuhhhh... lemme see i'm not a professional so i wouldn't know how to fix it and if you read the entire thing i'm not only "griping" about the times... peace, no need to come back here you defensive fanboys/girls. quit acting like i personally attacked you... my god...

Wow, what a pleasant attitude! I'm sure your group loved you and how kind you must have been to them!

I think perhaps you should fix your approach to the game before you come whining here about a system that isn't broken? If you want quicker queue times, how about you try equipping your SCH crystal and heal the fight? Quicker queue times, and you can't whine about how the healer messed up (though the rest of the party might...)
