Is the Duty Finder working as it should?

Love how the issue is expert roulette and ya'll are talking about Void Ark. Thanks, I guess?

It's actually every roulette.

It probably has nothing to do with actually queuing for content, at launch there was a problem even for 4/4 premades to get into AK because there were too many instances. They added a ton of instanced content this patch (which includes stuff like LoV and the longer instances such as Void ark and exploratory missions) and this is probably the real issue.

Healer and tank queue is still instant however .

I think if you are queueing solo as either tank or healer and not getting a group fast. Try just withdrawing and queueing a little later?

[Derekloffin]

Yeah, 2 hour queue... something is broke. I don't care what algorithm you're using, 2 hour queues are not acceptable. I've never had a queue take this long on any role. Not to mention the estimate is useless. When I started this queue it claimed less than 5m. Something isn't right here.

I've tried as both healer and DPS (I don't tank). Both were taking a ridiculous amount of time no matter how many times I withdrew and tried again.

Try queuing for the 2 expert dungeons individually instead of the roulette just to see if you get vastly faster queue times. That's how it was working for me.

But that is bass-ackwards. It should queue faster for Roulette than one individually, or at the same rate if you check off both so you are queuing for two also in that scenario.

They clearly did something to monkey roulette up. Always thought the point of Roulette was to help pair up returning experienced players to help out the new guys--and for using that we get bonus rewards for helping the newbies out. Flipping it upside down so that it makes it not worth the time to use Roulette defeats the design and apparent intended use of the feature.

I sat in the queue for 65 minutes as BLM tonight. Oh yeah... and the whole time the estimated wait time cycled through values of 7-15 minutes. Only reason I stayed in there was because I was tooling around doing other things in the room. By contrast, I probably could have queued them outside of roulette and run them twice...or nearly run them twice depending on how smooth the runs went.

That is a step backwards in my book.

before we can judge the situation we might have to wait 1 or 2 more weeks. with new content, everyone might have been busy with other things. i only did one expert roulette this week and that was premade and I'm already capped. not everyone has unlocked the new dungeons and i just assume not many were into leveling other jobs this week.

still something feels wrong. when 2.3 and 2.5 introduced syrcus tower and world of darkness wait times weren't that long for tanks and healers. and when queueing on nin it took much longer to get into the ark than what the average was. Even with a pt of 7/8 we had to wait almost half an hour to get in...

whatever the reason is but the DF situation after the patch is not satisfying

Greetings,

While queue times have increased, we have seen no indication that the Duty Finder is experiencing any matching issues since the release of Patch 3.1. For the Void Ark specifically, we're seeing longer wait times for tanks and healers. As Void Ark offers iLv 200 gear, we assume that many players are queuing up to earn gear for their secondary roles which seems to often be tanks. For now, we would suggest forming a full party via Party Finder, or as an alliance, to help alleviate this for the time being.

Also, as mentioned in the Patch 3.1 notes, currently there is a known issue with the Duty Finder display where each of the roles are showing up as 0. Please note that this is only a display error, and the matching process is functioning correctly. The dev. team is currently investigating this issue.

We'll continue to monitor the situation and if we spot any issues or irregularities, we'll be sure to follow up.

Check out Roulettes, there is definitely something wrong with them. For example Levelling Roulette before patch with Machinist took 5-15min max, post-patch its 60-90min. It's so bad that i need to apply almost 2 hours before i actually got time to play just to do the content. With all the new people coming back after the patch release wait times should be if not lower certainly not 10 times longer.

Definitely a problem with the Duty Roulette: Expert queue algorithm.

[DemandAPanda]

I am seeing the same problem... When I started to Q with my friend we saw in the forming party list 0/1 Tank 1/1 Healer and 1/2 DPS

after about 10 seconds all of that zeroed out to 0/1 0/1 0/2 and we have been sitting in Q for an hour.
