Anyone else having dungeon queue issues?

[Sida]

The patch notes said something about improving the queue algorithm. Me thinks it's broken instead.

"[2.0] The matching algorithm for Duty Roulette has been adjusted to reduce wait times."

I understand DPS queues have always been much longer than healer or even tank, but since the new patch, I have been going upwards of 50 minutes anytime I queue as DPS, and 30mins+ as healer.

Has anyone else noticed that queues are extravagantly longer than pre-patch?

It's because everyone is running Diadems. The devs can't do anything about the fact that most of the players love a new feature. Yeesh!...

Daily Duty Finder Leveling Roulette is seriously broken for me. I haven't been able to get one after many LONG WAIT attempts for just a Normal Daily Leveling Roulette.

I wonder if they calculate how many people waited 40+ minutes and eventually gave up? That is really the number they need to be looking at, because it would have increased exponentially.

All my DPS leveling roulettes this week have more than doubled since patch. Currently at 75+ min for leveling roulette.

I haven't had a leveling roulette take more than 30 min in many months. Now it's every day.

Well all Tanks are sitting in their 80 mins+ que for Void Ark. So have fun in all the other Content that suffers now even more of missing Tanks.

Well lets nerf the Diadem Itemlvl to 195 and see how much the player love the new feature.

I've got a question - did devs acknowledged that there is some issue that should be fixed? Because when I join the Duty Finder as a DPS I see my role filled at 1/2 for a minute, maybe few. Then it becomes 0/2 like I'm not even there. Had 50 minutes queues already, today I've been withdrawing few times, but overall waiting for the dungeon to pop for more than an hour.

And I actually feel really dumb. Came back from work, wanted to play some game, but instead I'm waiting for a dungeon that won't even appear. Makes me want to log off and come back when it's fixed.

I'm a DPS, but waited more than 45 minutes trying to get into Void Ark tonight. Average wait time was "Less then 5m" the entire time.

Someone withdrew, restarts from scratch. Still not in after another 45 minutes. Average wait time was 5m for most of it, and just recently went up to 10m.

How is this possible? Seems like that queue filled up after I was bounced and thus I missed my chance, by no fault of my own.

Since 3.0 hit, it seems like the term "queue" is very loose, too - I've frequently had people queue up well after I did, and get in long before I did. And in the same role/job, too.

Additionally, tried queueing up with a healer friend recently, and our estimates were wildly different. Sometimes his were higher than mine, sometimes mine were higher. And the role counts didn't match at all.

Please do whatever it takes to fix this. It's pretty much impossible for me to enjoy the game with the Duty Finder in its current state.

They already stated that it's just a display error, the queue is working normally, so you do not have to withdraw just because it says 0/2 or 0/4 on all roles.

And no, I don't think wait times are broken or not working as intended.
Actually, I never had such amazing queue times since the start of ARR. As a DPS, I get instant duty as soon as I sign up for most content, only leveling roulette is a bit slow but that's to be expected with everyone doing new content instead of leveling up remaining classes in low lvl dungeons.

As a healer, my queue times went up a bit, but still not past 7-15 min for any of the new content. As a tank, leveling roulette is still instant, but I guess that doesn't hold true for something like Void Ark where only very few tanks per run are needed.

Two days ago I had a situation, where I've been in a queue for 70 minutes. Withdrew, rejoined and found a team after 15 minutes. I think it easily indicates that something about the alghoritms is off.

Or it just means if you had waited 85 minutes at once, someone would have been found to do that content with you. Sometimes people don't sign up for what you want to do until WAY later, ever thought about that? Queues aren't long because SE wants them to be, they are long either because
a) no instance server is free
b) no one of the needed roles signed up for a certain duty or
c) too many people of one type of role signed up, so when someone with a needed role signs up too, only one of the several half-full groups gets ready to go and it might not be yours.

Thanks to explorations, b) is very common right now (because why do any other content when you can get perfect 210 loot from there?) and c) has always been and will always be a problem. The only difference is that now tanks are affected too, especially in Void Arc, because there are way more of them than there are slots for their role per run.
