Is the Duty Finder working as it should?

[Dodgy]

OK, my experience since 3.1 as a heal playing after work hours (7:00-10:00 pm) on the Chaos server is that my queue times have either tripled or quadrupled; actually I've never had to queue 45-60 mins for a roulette before, which I do now.
The only reason I'm running a heal is because it allows me to cap my weekly things in a timely manner after work, I simply can't do this anymore.
Yesterday we went in dark void, we were full 3 parties so that was fine, but then we decided to make another run at 7/8 missing a deeps, gave up after 45 minutes queuing on reset day at 8:15 pm. As a result I got 20 eso yesterday.
If this is working as intended I simply do not have the time to cap eso since the patch due to not being able to play more than a couple of hours a day during the week, nor run a roulette on my deeps to actually have some fun. So unless you double the eso tomes given by 60/ex or revert/fix the roulette, I simply can't be bothered queuing 2 hours a day on a class I don't really enjoy to run 1 dungeon a day. At this point I'm considering playing other things until there are alternatives to capping tomes that don't involve queuing for an hour each.

I have no problem getting into anything but void arc. I sit and wait on my Tank for over 30+ min and have yet to get into yet. After 45min on Monday full raid formed and sit at reserving instance for another 20min and had to leave. If duty finder is not broke instance maybe?

Going in with a buddy is currently the solution, since for whatever reason groups are jumping ahead in line.

Last night I queued for an ex roulette as bard with a friend who was on paladin. We had an instant queue.

We then queued for the new 50 dungeon roulette, with me on machinist on him on WAR. We had an instant queue.

Last time I did Void Ark, I went with a DPS buddy. We got in in about 4 minutes.

I then queued for a leveling roulette as MCH with no tank (since you have to do that solo.) 30 minute wait, about normal for leveling roulette on DPS.

Queuing for trials roulette on MCH solo got me in in 5 minutes.

A reminder to everyone who is experiencing abnormally long wait times for ex roulette - are you set for multiple languages, or just English? Flag that you're willing to play with all languages if you have to queue solo.

And buddy up for everything that you can, since it's clear to me that groups are skipping to the front of the line. For tanks, queuing with a DPS friend is your best bet.

This is me as well. I didn't cap ESO's last week because of the queue, and I managed to get 50 yesterday by getting into a Diadem group and an Alex run, that's all I managed to do as far as queues in 3 hours.

Yesterday, the queues seemed back to normal, today, back to stupid long wait times.

This is probably due to the fact that there were more people trying to do their roulettes, which reduced the issue a little. Now that everyone has figured out that its not fixed, its back to being basically worthless to queue for certain roulettes.

And the only response we have from SE is that 'though wait times have increased, roulettes are working as intended'. *rolls eyes* What a bunch of crap. Not all of us have hours to sit there and do nothing while waiting on your currently broken DF system.

This is just SE pulling the old limited number of active instance like they did back in release, where you had a group ready but had to wait 1 to 2h for a dungeon slot to open.
The new DR/DF is pretty much that, it limit the number of active instance for some unknown reason, apparently they put a new algorithm for it but guess shit broken.

When you get the "reserving instance" message, that's what it means. But a 2+ hour queue to fill the party members has nothing to do with limited instances, and everything to do with a broken matching algorithm.

I've sat on "reserving instance" for 5-10 minutes in previous patch cycles, but have not seen it here yet.
