Duty Finder for DD

[KyroeFelix]

Since when does dr differentiate between melee and ranged?

Iirc, the DF tries to make DD groups of 1 melee, 1 ranged. Obviously, this doesn't always happen, but it attempts to do so. More players queue up on brd, blm, and smn than mnk or drg which is why those jobs usually have longer wait times.

Don't ask me to find the interview/dev post about it. They talked about this sometime before launch.

It's weird that it's always felt the opposite for me. Whenever I am on my Dragoon I am waiting for an hour or more for the DF but if I switch to, say, my Puglist or Black Mage I'm usually waiting for double what the timer says (example: timer says 8 minutes, I'm waiting about 16 minutes). Maybe the DF just hates Dragoons (like everybody else).

There was a weird spot a few weeks before 2.2 where CT queues as my bard or healer were 30 minutes and up, but when I queued as monk I waited less than 10 minutes. This happened 4 CTs in a row, so yes separated queue.

It makes sense, though it doesn't make it any easier farming the shikaree chestpiece if I queue as tank.

I believe in the census they released last year, drg was more popular than mnk which is why you may be experiencing longer queue times on drg. I don't; I get in on drg within 15 minutes any time I queue up.

but i thought duty finder is cross server, how can one servers population influence duty time ?

It is cross server. Server populations have nothing to do with queue times.

I think it's just for PVP, you always will have 1 tank, 1 healer, 1 ranged dps, 1 melee dps
