NEVER add INSTANCE on a patch/expansion day.

[Paladinleeds]

Someone suggested adding a queue option for these dungeons, whereby you can queue as normal, and once there's an instance free for you, it pops and lets you in. Perhaps that could fix it, rather than simply not adding these instances at all?

Glad i'm still at work so it most likely worked out by time i get home tonight lol

Lol SE they keep triggering people this expansion with the same old thing. Soo glad I have work today.

Well that's the correct way to handle this... also it was suggested back in 4.0 with Raubahn EX.

So I'm guessing by 5.3 we'll get that system implemented, but you'll only be able to queue for 200 instances over the life of your character and then you'll have to delete some instances before you can do others... or something.

[seraf]

when do you think should they implement them then?

It doesn't matter when they add it because the moment they do everyone is going to rush it at the same time anyway thus creating the same problem regardless. I'm not sure what OP is really trying to get at here.

Common sense says to wait.....but i guess its not that common.

Common sense says they should implement a DF queue for these things given how they never work correctly in the launch window. But as you say, it's not that common.

Or they'll implement it but it only has 50 slots a day, one guy will camp 7 of them with alts and sell them for 10 million gil in PF, and SE will respond to that in another year by saying only a free company is allowed to queue.

It will be worse by then.

I managed to get in with some persistance, it seems they're putting the servers into maintenance to sort this out, though i'm unsure how much good it will do.

2 hour maintenance to sort it out, it looks like.
