How is your frontline queue?

It can be weird. I wasn't getting any games as Maelstrom on Primal before Garo. Now I queue as Freelancer & usually get a game in less than 10 minutes. However, over the weekend I had huge queues, quite a few I cancelled after 30mins sitting at "approx 7mins" or so. I did see a few 24 man Shatters though, which is unusual. Last night (Sunday) it wasn't too bad again. There seems to be a very unusual 'prime time' for Frontlines that doesn't correspond with the rest of the game.

Hmm. You're not, by chance, queueing with less than 150 ilvl, are you?

It seems you got the point. After taking care to start this queue with my main and not whatever I were playing at the time, so far didn't had to wait one hour before duty pops out.

That's not the experience on a JP data centre. If we selected only E, we would never get a pop in anything, including frontlines. In having every language selected que times are around 5 mins for frontlines, 10 seconds for 8v8 Feast.

My guess is OP is trying to enter at the wrong time of day.

Well English isn't the main language of the JP datacenters. Queuing only English in there is like queuing only French/German/Japanese on Aether and Primal. Queuing only J in them is likely the same speed or even slightly faster than queuing with all languages selected.

Getting stuck in a hung queue was a fairly common occurrence pre-3.5 though most didn't realize that was what was happening.
