Thread: 2.0 coming up on first birthday -- DPS queue issue still not addressed.

What they need to do is add more tanking and healing jobs. Fun ones that would make people WANT to tank and heal. More people tanking and healing means less DDs having to wait around on queue. On top of that, it would be great if XIV could have some content NOT revolving around the "holy trinity". Perhaps content that anybody with anybody battle class can do. Some ideas:

- infiltrating an enemy base and getting from point A to point B. Getting caught means you lose and have to start over. You have to avoid spotlights and being spotted by enemies. Maybe even avoid taking some terrain due to the noise you would make while crossing it. Players can coordinate to hit switches and open pathways for each other.

- Operating a Magitek to destroy an enemy base while of course taking down enemies. Each Magitek can attack, heal, and has defensive abilities.

- Allow people to queue with Chocobos. Need a tank? Use a tanking Chocobo. It can help lessen the queue time.

- Offer more open world content. Bring back open world dungeons! They were a lot of fun and a nice change of pace.

I know SE wants people to stick to their roles in instances, but maybe they can move away from that and offer some unique experiences. A BLM that's tired of using the same old rotation can ride a magitek and feel like a total badass for one instance. It was fu to do it in the story and would be nice to do it again with more mechanics implemented.

Seems like a better first step would be to make the current ones more fun....

They have to be fun and easy to use to counteract the intense scrutiny they get from groups.

They're already easy and straight forward. The only thing that might throw off some people who're newer to healing is the length of the global cooldown. Because it's so long you have to plan ahead and precast a lot more than other MMOs.

I'd personally like to see some new healing classes.

What Data center are you from? On Balmung prime time DD ques are almost instant sometimes. Most I've waited tonight was 10 minutes on my Archer. On my Tank I actually got the same DD from a previous instance in my next one. I guess some Data center's are worse then others. I thought every ones ques were fairly quick .

Maybe on your server at your time of the day. Fact is, people are waiting these times for parties and it's detracting from their enjoyment of the game.

Making sweeping generalisations based on your limited experience is frankly patronising and insulting to those other players.

Seeing as how queues are cross-server; I don't think it has any thing to do with my server.

Also, I play when the server is mostly dead, early in the morning.

I'm not generalizing, just telling the truth of the situation. Queues aren't that bad, any thing beyond 10-15 minutes is pure fantasy.
