Duty Finder queues are too damn long!

[Moerser]

They could have, should have, would have...zzZZZ...
Play more Tanks, play more Healers.
Simple as that.
We dont need a solution for "But mooom, i wuant dat chocolate".
But as far as i´ve experienced most ppl wouldnt b able to do it anyways, sheer dumbness makes DD´s die over and over and over again.
I dont even believe they know what their skills do.
Maybe i would expect more of most players, if nin´s finally learned to get out of those yellow marks on the ground, blm´s learned that AoE´s are NOT the solution for EVERYTHIN or overgeared dumbshiz gettin into every fkin situation like "CHAAAAARGE!!!!!" and leave the party if others want to wait for protes.
Yeah...i guess that would do the job and yeah i said "Overgeared dumbshiz".
Btw i dont feel like the situation changed since release.

And now dont come along with "But i am not like that *facepalm*".
I know there are many other, maybe even smart examples, but it doesnt change the overall situation.

Greetz,
Mörser out

Make friends. Take turns queuing each other in as Rogue (or other DPS being leveled) and a healer or tank class. Get near-instant queue pops for all the Dungeons and Guildhests.

Someone without very many people on their friends list (because they're a new player- antisocial people are on their own here) can also try their FC, or if their FC is small or they're not in one, try PF to find someone to do two runs like this with. No reason I know of to sit in queue as a DPS for cumulative hours on end on low level dungeons right now, getting a Conjurer or Tank to level 15 so you can do this with beginner dungeons isn't a big deal and ultimately even if you don't plan to play those classes end game, understanding them a bit firsthand will only help you be a better team player as a DPS. Or, got a high level Summoner but never practiced healing as a Scholar? Now's your chance, get the basics down and people will just be happy you showed up. (That's how I started my Scholar career btw, picking up in progress dungeons where other healers bailed at the start on or midway though).

Not comfortable or high enough level to tank/heal a higher level dungeon, but need a high level dungeon on your Rogue/Ninja? Not a big deal, there are plenty of people who would tank/heal your higher level dungeon where you're a DPS in exchange for you getting their lower level DPS through an easy one.

They should have release at lease not one by all 3 type of class instead of one.... When one not just DPS even if they just release healer Lololololol watch yourself waiting for 1 tank and 2 DPS for dungeon for 2 hours so yea 3.0 if they don't relase a new dps and healer along with dark knight.... The history will repeat it self.

And also my main is tank not because the queue time is fast is because I get to control the battle field :3 I love to lead the party and I don't like to follow in party

I do have a alt class which is my ninja I got it to 50 in 4 days because I followed the crowd in fate rather then dungeoning as for end game content as a dps I would alway drag my raid member in to tanking or healing for me cause I am their raid leader and their main tank and they do love tanking too just not their main so yea is a give and take don't relie on the duty finder too much

The main issue isnt the queue itself, the problem we have is the lockout.
While waiting for a queue you can do nearly nothing...
With the new forced to accept we can no longer do quests, craft or leves while waiting!
But i was talking in gerneral, Chocobo levelening or the overall messed up party play settings including groupfinder...
You are locked out to play with your friends left alone waiting for the queue to leech your lifeforce out.

I'm actually glad that we're forced to accept now, because it cuts down on trolls and people who force the "Average Wait" timer to go down by withdrawing during the ready up phase.

I never said its bad, you miss the point.
No one and really NO one likes to wait in queue for 1h+ and all you can do is F.A.T.E

Thats why players asking for more open world content

You could do guildleves and guildhests?

No you cant
I did before 2.4, not possible any more, same problem as with quests and crafting.

[coldreactive]

No you cant

At level 50 you still can to get certain resources like ventures, even if the guildleves are low level. And I didn't mean to queue and then do them. You just do the guildleves and guildhests before you queue for the actual dungeon you want if you think it'll be a long wait.

It's very, very unlikely they will add open world dungeons back into 2.0+ either. They will very likely never add open world pvp either.

I still think they should have made the servers work like GW2 with a worldless design implementing cross world friends list, partying and multi-regional grouping. It just so happens that you could choose a region near you to reduce lag times.

At this point I'll settle for saving my game settings to the server so I don't have to update 2-3 systems. It would be nice to be able to play with my Japanese friends and NA friends at the same time without making 2 characters.

I really hate that about Guild Wars 2, because then shout chat would be full of people advertising their FCs cross-world....

You just do the guildleves and guildhests before you queue for the actual dungeon you want

So doing the leve 10 minutes and wait ~30 minutes in queue instead of waiting ~30 minutes in queue...
I just dont get it, how does this help in any way?
