Please do something about duty finder queues...

We all know there's more DPS than Tanks and Healers, thus making queue times extra long... but having to deal with this every day is not cool :\ especially during prime time. What on earth did you do with 2.1 when you changed the server structures? I think you need to reduce the data center groups and put more servers together, this is pathetic.

2014 gaming.



edit: I'm upto 94 minutes now btw.

This is what happens when you require 1 tank for every 2 dps

4 player groups... cause thats 'casual' lol.

You are just a victim for poor game design.

While what you're saying might be true in a sense, what he said is right....SE needs to reduce their Data Center bs, and put more servers together in groups so that people aren't waiting two hours to do something. Now on top of this too you have the Vote Abandon....wait two hours to get into CT "in progress", get in, and vote abandon. This literally happened to me yesterday. It's crap.

More servers in the same data center will do nothing to help this problem, nothing whatsoever. You'll just be in queue with even more dps waiting just about as long as you are now.

You have proof this won't work how? Queue's were never this bad before the Data Center crap they did. After that and 2.1, I've waited to the point where I give up and go do other things because it's pathetic. Doing something to try and fix it is better than doing nothing.

Yeah they were. I bet you can get several people who remember the AK "Reserving Instance" issue. Where the party was made, but the instances were all full. If someone dropped out, you got sent back to the end of the line for instance reservations.

My queue's as a tank are instant and usually about 1-5 minutes as a healer. This obviously means that there's a lack of tanks and healers and that it's not a problem with the data centers.

The only way to fix this would be to entice more people to play as tanks or healers, or to change the size of parties needed for a dungeon. Four is obviously too small as that only allows you to bring two DPS. Having light parties of five or even six would greatly reduce the queue times for DPS.

He's correct. It's basic math. You're increasing the number of tanks in queue, yes, but also increasing the number of DPS. It's the illusion of a solution.

I agree. If all servers have about the same ratio as tanks to healers to damage dealers, then I do not see how increasing the overall number of people, while the ratio of people remain the same, would change anything. That by itself I do not see it changing the wait times. Someone would say but that means more tanks getting in the queue. Yeah, well that also means a heck of a lot more DPS waiting in line as well. Sooo....????

This.

Making 4-man groups the norm was always going to lead to this problem for DPS, it was a stupid design decision way back in V1 that Yoshi failed to fix. Not sure if going 6-man as in FFXI was needed, 5-man as in WOW and others certainly was the minimum though.
