Day of the Instant DPS Queue

[EdwinLi]

It is madness! The world has blown up!

DPS have instant queues and Tanks have 20 to 50 minute queues!

I like it!

Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!

Going to take advantage and level a couple of my DPS while I have the chance lol

Won't last.

Folks get off work, it'll switch again.

Nope. Dark Knight and Astrologian simply have too many prospective players trying to level them up right now. By comparison, Machinist is the least popular of the three classes. For the foreseeable future all the low-level dungeons will be DPS instant queue, and this won't even out until everyone's reached level 50+ (maybe not even until level 60, since people sticking to their current mains will still be leveling ahead of that pack).

It'll probably take a few weeks to a month before things even out again, but it won't be like before. Who knows if tank will still be the most-frequent 'adventurer in need' role? It's hard to tell with how popular DRK is.

I already told several People.. just because there are new Jobs, doesn't mean it fits for you.

Half of the People are going back to their Previous Job so ya...

I see People who have no clue about the "Drawing Card" System. Using the "TP-Reduce" Draw on a Healer or BLM is just horrible... no ...

Most frequent for me lately has been healer, actually.

Saw tank for high level roulette as well, and my guildhest queues are instant as healer.

High-level roulette is irrelevant because OF COURSE people haven't reached level 50 yet on the new jobs, what made you think otherwise?

Guildhest queues being instant is to be expected, however, since they're much, much shorter than dungeons (with many of them lasting 3-5 minutes as opposed to the 30-45 minutes of low-level dungeons), and there are a lot more guildhests to run than there are dungeons.

So far in my experience leveling MCH, I have not had to wait for a single queue... basically since I started playing the class. This is pretty much entirely within expectations given the results of previous polls on pre-release job hype. Also consider that there are two DPS slots per party, but only ONE of the new classes is a DPS job, AND that DPS job is less popular than either the tank or healer job.

Things will probably even out a lot once most players reach the 50+ range, but not until then.

Well first week is always chaotic.

DPS Queue and Tank Queue may start returning to their original state after 1 week or 2 weeks but hey you got to enjoy the moment while it last. After all it is not everyday that DPS are given Instant Queues.

Heck it is amazing we even have instant queues at all considering DPS Queue history.
