Very long queue for frontline

[Woona]

I've been sitting in que for 34 minutes now. sadly not as long as my bestie.......may he rip after this que

I don't think the Frontline hype is dead it's just that people are spamming hunts all day. If Square gave 300 allied seals for 1st place 200 seals for 2nd place and 100 allied seals for 3rd place more players would play Frontlines.

Fair enough. But i'd like to not sit in que for 30+ minutes waiting on a 72 person match that isnt going to pop. I've yet to see any downscaling :/

and an update, friend left the que after this. got tired of waiting.



p.s. maybe it's just twin adders cause everyone seems to have jumped ship to Maelstrom. :[

Frontlines wait times are insane, especially for full parties. SE needs to deincentivize hunts and create more reason to pvp.

As it is now, Frontline is totally inaccessible to premades, and encourages fast farming with party-in-progress queues. There's no social aspect engaged anymore, all the PvP linkshells I've joined have all but gone silent, and no one in their right mind would ever queue with a party if they wanted to enter an instance during their lifetime. Please fix this broken system, SE!

What makes me furious is my partner and I (same Grand Company) queue separately (in progress) and she gets almost instant queue pops and I can wait over half an hour at a time. She goes in as bard, all the time. I can queue as a scholar or a Black mage, and I wait. ANd wait. She can get 2-3 rounds in before the queue pops for me.

I queue before she does.

What the heck, guys?

This keeps happening to me and i see it happen to other people too.
There are several causes probably, but the worst one is the bad queue system they have, which they haven't gone to the trouble of improving since the game launched almost one year ago....
Today i actually got a pop, and at the end of the timer at 66/72, the system sent me the message "Your registration has been withdrawn." GG SE.

This smells to A frontlines having the stupid rank system for matchmaking or B the stupid GC restrictions making the que way more long.....
Also yh the system is slow to act and make small groups for fl when the que wont pop.

More 90 minute queue times today for me.

My friends (Flames) and I (Maelstorm) have a different GC. And they get queues very fast, because half of our server is (Maestorm). Just take off the GC restrictions and make duty finder randomly selects a team for you. As a result, longer queue times will alleviate + friends and fc could actually play together.

Today is a weekend + free login. And yet, queue takes an hour. Come on this is not acceptable.
