What happened to Queue times?

[Taliesin]

How is that even possible, I'm eating 1 hour queues for anything I try.... don't tell me I'm glitched or something stupid like that :\

Are you selecting alll 4 languages?
The only times I have long queue times is when I forget this.

My main is black mage, default language is set to English, and I consistently get in within 15-20 min on blm. It always says the average wait time is 30+ but I never wait more than 20.

If you are DFing for regular dungeons, queue times are significantly up. There is a small delay (Even for tanks) because as someone said, they are running at full capacity during peaks.

However, for anything beyond 50, specially the new content (Ultima, Moogle, Ex's), you are better off using the Party Finder. Almost no one will waste their time doing it through DF, when setting up a party trough the Finder is so easy.

Make sure you are ready to communicate via auto-translate strings if you select languages you can't understand, though. It makes everyone's lives easier :3

If you form a premade on your server for CT and que with 8, the que is insanely faster.

The problem with Q's on 24 man content is that you end up with odd ball scenarios

Imagine 3 groups queing for CT

Group 1:
1 Tank
4 DPS

Group 2:
0 Tanks
4 DPS
2 Healers

Group 3:
2 Tanks
2 Healers
2 DPS

Now imagine there are 2 tanks in the que solo, and 20 dps in the que solo, and 1 healer in the que solo with these 3 partial mades in the que.

1 tank will go to Group 1, and 1 tank will go to group 2, leaving group 2 waiting on a tank. 2 Dps will go to Group 3. But it's now possible for a 4th partial made group to que with 2 tanks and 2 healers and they would get instant que even though Group 2 has been in the que longer. Because the system does not break up partial mades. Group 2 needs 1 tank, but there are not any tanks in the que solo to fill that 1 tank spot. So when Group 4 joins with 2 tanks they take group 2's spot. Group 2 is like "wtf" why no tanks join us?

Because they got stranded.

In short, you should never que alone. You will get a faster que as 4 dps, than solo dps. And the fastest que possible as 2 dps and 2 tanks.

The extra rewards for Que'ing as a tank still arent good enough. Mind you giving tanks more myth wont help in the long run as they will just cap faster. Whats needed is a hell of alot more gil, Like 10k up to 20k or being allowed to choose what bonues you wont

1. 10k gil
2. Extra extra myth
3. Half a bar of rested exp. ( I would choose this just to help me lvl my other classes faster)

Honestly, this is why I started a tank class to begin with. It allows you to quickly get the DR stuff done each day (Plus tanking is actually really fun). Save your DPS for Party Finder, RT pugs and FC runs.

I've always waited +/- 45mins for a dungeon when queued as a dps... nothing new for me. Now I just use duty roulette and party finder.

But maybe that's why. People make groups on their own servers, so less of em to be matched with in DF.

[StarMarmot]

Currently in queue for 143 minutes for CT, average wait time shows as 23 minutes, at the 90 minute mark, average showed as 9 minutes. While I'm tabbed out typing this, I can assure you the group was formed and I missed to click ready.
