My Server is dying....

[Naria]

There is a thread about the DF not working correctly since 3.1 on the front page and the Dev tracker atm. It is not because your data center or server is dying, it is because the DF is bugged. I'm on Aether as well, and I have been intermittently hit with this bug.

I know it was mentioned previously, but how many languages do you have selected? I'm on the same data center and I queue under only English and I never have any issues as a DPS finding parties.

As for 1+ hour PvP queues? I've never had to wait more than 45 minutes. Heck, yesterday they were popping every 5 minutes for most of the day.

My FC is one of the most active in the whole server actually, we are usually betwen the spot 15-25 in our server (from 417 FCs in the Goblin Fc ranking) in the FC rank. And i am part of the biggest Linkhells in the game atm. So already have the best the server can offer me in that matters. Maps are desert! Few ppl running around in expansion maps but nothing else. We are even killing A ranks with -8 players cuz noone shows :S

I've hunted S ranks and I don't think I've run into a single one in the last week with anything less than 30+ players. A ranks are a bit more iffy. People won't come running for A ranks, but if they're not busy, they'll come. But I can take on some of the A ranks solo as a PLD. Yesterday, 3-4 killed an A rank. They aren't that tough that you NEED people.

And if you have an active FC and a large LS, I don't understand at all why you are running into any issues... Do you simply never party up with anyone in either? My FC is smaller, but active and the only time I don't run with them is when I'm going through roulette (though, we found that if you literally queue the roulette at the same time, you have a decent chance to get the same one, pending classes). Sure, some maps are empty if you just simply enter it. There are very obvious spots that are better for fate/leve grinding and those areas are usually fairly active. People aren't spread out everywhere on goblin. Try asking people if they want to do x or y. Going somewhere and just expecting people to be there isn't necessarily going to happen on a lower pop server like ours. If you're looking for that, you'd want to go to another server. But I like that I can go around and not miss every other fate on maps because there's so many people running them and all I see on screen is a blur of lights and lag.

Feel free to hit me up if you see me online though (usually online every weekday around 5pm-1am and around 12p-3a on weekends). Though, heads up, I'm not through all content yet. Keep getting distracted doing other things and haven't finished pushing through HW story.

I have the same issue specifically with roulettes and the duty finder. Roulette queue times are much longer than the time in queue for a single dungeon of any level for me. Single dungeon < 15 mins, Roulette > 45 mins. I have stopped doing roulettes due to some basically never popping. I am just leveling by queuing for the highest eligible dungeon for that job/class. This seems to be the same for my level 60s as for my new level 15 and 35 class/jobs.

Of course many people not doing roulettes (because they seem bugged) doesn't help the roulette times either I suppose.

The Duty Finder is server wide, you'll be put in queue with everyone else in your datacentre. That has nothing to do with your server being dead, unless your entire datacentre is dying which I doubt.

Sometimes though, I wonder how it really works. Because my data center has the 2 biggest servers on it and you can't possibly tell me out of all those people, not a single tank or healer are queuing up for anything, causing 30+ minute waits on things like high level or leveling. Don't even bother with pvp unless you're Gridania, it's over an hour wait.

^ This. Sometimes I can get into one of the expert dungeons within 3-7 minutes if I queue specifically for them, but expert can take up to 20-30. Around 10-15 with a healer friend queuing with me.

Roulette and DF Q's are, as many have pointed out, data center wide, not server specific.

More importantly, multiple posts recently from people on Goblin about the server dying are not doing the server any favors. Any posts from folks using Duty Finder or Duty Roulette Q times as evidence of their server having a problem, are in effect hurting their own cause. Since the Q's are data center based, it's a false premise anyway, but constantly complaining about a server dying could be considered the creation of a self fulfilling prophesy.

Not everyone on the same page. The same thing that happens when u put a PF and takes 45+ min to fill. Ppl play on diferent ways and have different goals, even ppl from other FCs (bigger than ours) do stuff with us and othewise. Thats not the problem.

That is why. If you select multiple languages, it will put priority over one of the languages instead of throwing you into a language roulette (as in you may be queued for F, E, D, and J, but the DF is just putting you into a French queue instead of all 4). You are waiting for other people to queue under a language that might not be popular on that data center (such as Japanese or German, since Aether is an NA data center and most people in NA speak English as their primary language).

As someone who PvPs a lot, this is one of the first things I learned not to do. I waited once for level 50 FL (way back in the day) for over 6 hours before I asked one of my PvP buddies about it. Never did it again after that and I haven't had any problems with queues after that.
