So yeah, 25 minutes in the queue for Ifrit...

...and it's not hard to see how this is going to be a game breaker.

25 minutes trapped in a location where there is nothing to do and I am the only person in my party.

And this is not that far out from release. In six months, a years' time this is going to be a near impossibility for new players/characters.

Making a mandatory dungeon for the story quest is an insane idea, especially one where you are stuck in an area with nothing else to do.

Square, fix up.

You can leave if you talk to the guard near the pond, he'll let u exit and add it to your duty finder list.

Thank you.

Maybe Square needs to put a great big sign over his head as not many people will think to randomly talk to the random dude just in case, or post on the forums and find a helpful answer.

There will be plenty of people /ragequitting the game I would think.

It's incredibly stupid.

Also, right now it may start getting harder to use Duty Finder for lower end dungeons but once patch 2.1 is released, they will be adding a random matching system where if someone uses this they will be randomly matched with people who are looking for dungeons like your Ifrit battle for example, it gives them a bonus upon completion so it benefits everyone. At least that's the plan.

Patch 2.1 is expeded to be released within this year... that's all we know at this time.

You are DPS, you shouldn't be.
It's the hardest role to queue fast.

[Reinheart]

Dunno what time zone you're in but EST is 5:50PM, PDT 2:50PM on a Thursday, you should start seeing more people logging in from 6-7pm ish, peak is around 8pm-midnight.

If you can't wait that long probably trying to shout for help or asking people in Linkshell/Free company would be much faster than waiting for the Duty Finder to find you a match.

EDIT: I just noticed you're on Tonberrry, which is JP data center so, I'm not even sure what's the NA/EU population there + not sure about oceanic player population either. Japan is 6:54AM right now also so probably going to start picking up around 8AM ish but it's still Friday so might be slower than the weekends.

I wish you luck

Get used to the long wait time. DPS have the worst wait of anyone. If you want a fast queue time play healer or tank.

[cegorach]

I don't have an issue queueing for dungeons in general.

It's when it's a mandatory story quest to move things along that it's an issue.

somewhere around 6-7 am in most parts of asia right now, tonberry is a jp server, so thats probably why.
