30 min to 1 hour Tank queues for Void Ark

[Stormrider]

Just shows the game has lots of tanks and healers. They just don't usually want to play with pugs. Give it 4 weeks tank/healer will all have the sets they want and not que again except once for weekly drop.

Don't forget the efforts to attract people to play tank by making WAR almost a real DPS and creating the DRK actually paid off, but a lot of those tanks may not be full time tanks, and are Q'ing as tanks because of the imagined instant Q. Give it a few weeks like Stormrider suggested, tanks that dislike PUGs will stop Qing, as will the part time tanks when they realize it's quicker to Q as DPS right now.

So now Tanks finally get how it has been for dps...
30 mins or more has been the norm for dps, lol
And i usually only tank when i go in with friends/ fc members, others can do the same no?
Be social people

The worst part is that you have a 30+ min wait just to get in, and then if you're unlucky you'll be in one of the groups where the skill level is "everyone just stands still in Corrosive Bile" and takes an hour to finish.


... the one upside though is that since you're the only tank in your party you'll never have to roll against someone else for your loot.

I think there is something very wrong with the tank que. I always get 30 mins+ everyday. Then yesterday and they day before I would try to que and it would let me. It would begin to que me but then I would get an error message saying it was unable to get me in que for void ark... Have been trying for days to get in and cant. Very annoying

30 minutes to an hour? You must be on a lightly populated data center. Sitting at 256 minutes as I'm writing this.

Primal data center.

If this does much of anything to people like us who play tank, it's going to cause people to quit tanking again, therefore recreating the original issue.

Nah. Huge imbalances between dps and tank/healers now. All three healers and tanks minus paladin are easily the most played jobs now. Did a random search for white mages level by level after forty and easily dar the job out number every other job minus bard

As someone who mains tank but knows the plight of DPS queues, I'm hoping tanks start getting lumbered with 48 hour queues. Let the tanks feel the pain of those god-awful queue times. Might also help teach a bit of humility.

There's no need to make fun or being spiteful of each role that deals with longer queue times. In all cases it sucks.

Here's the thing, there ARE players that use the quick queue times (due to lack of numbers for that role, allowing them to hold the group to ransom). Those players NEED to learn a bit of humility and learn that just because they're playing a role that isn't as popular, they're not some special snowflake. If I come across as being spiteful because of wanting that then I'm glad I'm spiteful for wanting those that abuse quick queue times to hold groups to hostage to learn some humility.
