Average wait time -Forever-

[Elusana_Celah]

ASSumptions

Actually I have a ridiculous sleep schedule where I am online sometimes mornings - afternoons, sometimes nights into late mornings and the worst queue I ever had was for the low level dungeons around 4-5 am EST which have been about an hour to 2 hours and I said in my comment that I do a lot of various stuff including coil queues, low level dungeons as I level alts, high level dungeons, primals. I am willing to believe someone experiences 2-3 hour queues depending on what it is but 999 hours? I am sure the SE Development team is looking at their statistical data that I'm sure they have telling them what queue times are and laughing their butts off at this post lol.

Why do you have to be like that? I didn't insult you at all.
That would actually be pretty legit.
Ya know, them confirming this is real. If they could actually do that, that is
3 hours? I'm in a borderline 3 hour queue right now and its not even drought time yet.
How about we prevent this by having you nice people queue up for turn 8 to help me get these shoes :U

Also just because I wanted some cushion

I do appreciate the effort to prove yourself. can you send us a screenshot of your duty finder screen, so we can see your exact language options and queue?

That might go a long way to showing the truth.

I can see that for SCoB 3... I would withdraw it's just going to be a wipe and ragequit in 1 pull anyways. Wait 3 hours for a queue, get one pull, ragequitting happens, group disbands. I am serious too. My experience with duty findering coils is exactly that.

I had a 162 mn + wait as a healer for T5 in DF ...selected languages F+E. There are people outthere that have lenghty waiting time. Is not abnormal for me to wait around 1h as average when I play on week-ends a bit off timings. I even had 45mn waiting time thicking the 3 towers (CT, ST &WoD), although for this I dont have a screenshot. Complaining though wont do much, that is how it goes, DF is as such, mind you PF is no better off timings.

People have a tendency in believing that since it does not happen to them is necesseraly meaning that nobody else is having that problem. There are queues, T3 for example, that I have yet to do, nobody queues for it at least when I am around. I tried T8, well got one group, after one wipe tank left and we left too, since I Had no luck in entering.

Elusana is right, if you wait so long and you get a rage quit, is sooo frustrating and angering that you find it hard to remain polite if any and all that you join afterwards. It happens more then you think, but again nothing to be done against this. FcoB is just a pain for the waiting time and the overall lack of engagement of people that want insta win vs those that need to learn the fight....eternal discussion without solution...such is life in FFXIV

Yet, if I queue for Shiva, Ramuh, Levi, I never or rarely have problems. I cant blame people getting annoyed at the waiting time unfortunately nothing much you can do about it.

@OP - while the queue time situation is awful indeed, I commend your internet connection. I can't stay connected 4 hours without getting at least one DC, much less more than half a day. So, kudos for that, at any rate. O_O

On another note - yeah, the queue times are horrid. No matter what I sign up for (and I do select all four languages too), AWT is "more than 30m" 9 out of every 10 times - even for expert roulette, even for WoD, even for Odin. It's just unplayable.

Op has been proven lying by multiple people,and still tries.

Where has he been proven lying? Because his times don't match up for screenshots that AREN'T IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER? Or the two that ARE in order and have the right time differences in local time and time expired?

FotoForensic is nice, but I already showed that it isn't a 100% assurance.

And he already has proof of at least a 3 hour queue.

Coils? Primals? Labyrinth of the Ancients? CM? Praetorium?

I'm not sure what you're meaning.

Aaaargh you caught me. I just had a moment of stupidity and somehow 2+2+4 made 10.
