THIS is fixing the roulette queue?

[DragonSlayer45]

I don't even understand why they messed with the Duty Finder algorithm again. I had no problems getting into content of all levels on prime time before 3.1 as a non-Tank but now everything except Expert takes an upwards of 30 minutes, sometimes even up to a whole hour as a DPS and sometimes even as a healer.

Don't fix what wasn't broken. This is not working as intended.

I'm just going to leave this here:

There is something wrong with duty finder, it is obvious by now. Reply, lock the thread and fix it.

I main AST and WHM but haven't noticed anything different since 3.1, most queues are instant or under 5 minutes. I haven't played my MCH since 3.1 but queues were maybe 15 minutes before. 30+ reminds me of when I started the game a year ago as BRD.

Maybe it's just because there is a lack of people doing roulette? Chocobo here and I was able to get into Primal roulette in just over 5 minutes just fine on both Sat/Sun. Weekdays do get longer, because 1. People who work are not home yet - 2. PF is filled 50+ with Diadem, KotR, AS.

Seems fine to me getting instant queues in all leveling stuff.

I seem to be getting okay queues as well, nothing exceptionally aberrant. Some are slightly longer, but probably due to new content.

That isn't to say there isn't an issue though, but perhaps it's not something in the part of the DF that they're looking at - I assume the distribution/matchmaking part is the big one they tend to look at first and then the other parts, the initializing/player-end communications that it's probably being overlooked, and thus why it's harder for them to track it down. The system that reports the issues might also be encountering an issue that it's not sure how to report on, or is getting what it believes are normal responses which are actually non-normal. Hard to say, but that's kind of what I've just been musing over about it.

I'm definitely having lots of issues getting into parties on Black Mage in the last few days. I've tried about 5 times to do Leveling Roulette and Level 50 Roulette, and each time I've waited 30-40 minutes before giving up and doing other things. Once I waited over an hour before getting too irritated to continue. Each time, the average wait time always says ~10-15 minutes. Total BS.

FINALLY FIXED! WOOOO!

■The following adjustments have been made:

Adjustments have been made to the Duty Finder algorithm to address increased queue times resulting from adjustments made in 3.1.
Patch 3.1 introduced a change to the matching algorithm for Duty Roulette wherein it would “prioritize matching the party to instances for which the party meets the number of members required”, resulting in the roulette role numbers to appear as “0”.
Although the window may have displayed incorrectly, the internal matching process was still functioning correctly, so we have temporarily removed the role matching window. We are looking into modifying the specifications in the future.

Well, as of today, I don't even get to the screen that shows the party roles. I'm stuck on the "forming party, reserving instance" screen.
