    Is this happening to anyone else?

    My friend and I are trying to queue for Crystal Tower together like we always do, but it seems to be having some kind of issue.



    If we queue separately we can see the average wait time and the party begins to fill up. If we queue together the average wait time doesn't appear and we wait for upwards of 20 minutes with no entry to CT. This didn't happen last week, is this happening to anyone else since the maintenance we had?

    Stuff like this has been happening since CT's release. Waited an hour with a full party after they hot fixed the fates and the party disbanded from waiting. I solo queue and get the pop up in less then 5 minutes

    I know that, but if it doesn't display one it's a bug and you technically aren't in queue. You can wait hours and never get in if that happens.

    It's likely there is just no party that needs 2 DPS whereas there are a few that need only 1.

    I've always found it is faster to queue with 1-2 people in separate roles over a number like 4-5 or 2 of the same role, I don't think the time appears till you actually get slotted into a party.

    The timer not popping up doesn't mean you aren't in a queue, or at least it didn't before.

    It always meant it was a bug, this is just the first week that we queue as 2 DPS and wait forever with no party progress.

    I have had this happen once for a 4 man dungeon, queuing as healer with a tank, and we ended up waiting for 30 minutes before we fixed it by reforming our party. Its a bug, but it has only happened to me once or twice that I can remember. If its happening to you more, or always, I am sorry I do not know what to tell you =(
