Incentives to NOT queue as DPS

[Kosmos992k]

Either they just need to come out with another tank and healer class, because in HW this problem was not to big of an issue.....or just give dps a little more exp to balance out the wait time between tanks and healers going twice while you're still waiting for one que

Honestly the only way around this is to never never never ever just realease two dps classes that was the worst idea for que times hands down and plus only like 1 healer is good and 1 tank is good while the rest have some balancing issues...

Two miconic DPS roles at once was a little heavy handed. Regarding the tanks and healers, I have done a lot of reading and listening and have to conclude that although there are some issues for WAR/DRK and SCH, all 3 tanks and healers are perfectly viable in all the content we currently have for StormBlood - although tanks might need to focus more on keeping aggro and healers a little less on DPS.

Imagine that though, tanks focusing on max aggro and healers focusing more on...healing. Almost as if that was their role.

WAR, DRK and SCH are definitely still viable. The problem lies in whether they're still fun to play or not. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure most people play games to have fun.

Imagine though, Tanks actually having engaging mechanics rather than just being a DPS with a tank stance, some skills with aggro on them and passive mitigation cooldowns. Imagine bosses doing consistent damage that needs to be mitigated rather than a tankbuster every now and then. Or imagine bosses that need to be stunned or silenced.

I'll accept a wire transfer to one of my accounts, who do I send my bank details to?

You should probably consider giving an incentive/reward to make me queue with strangers.
I don't mind playing healer/tank, but I rarely, if ever, queue without at least one or two friend, that I trust to not be bad at videogames. And I'm probably not the only one, who thinks like that.

Recently suggested this in a similar thread. Scrap the adventure in need EXP bonus entirely. instead make it a useable scroll type item that players can use on any job they so choose [...]

Agree with this.

I'm incline to agree with you I just didn't want pitch forks that ppl have on here when you tell them to focus on their actual role lol

The entire reason people would have pitchforks is because tanking and healing is very bland in this game if you take away the ability to DPS.

I mean, maybe sitting in tank stance and spamming 1 button on trash is fun for you, but it isn't very fun for me.

Healer main.

In short DPS ques are not my problem. Nothing SE can do will fix it outside of making healers actual DPS because hordes of players can't imagine doing anything but damage.

I have respect for good DPS, but it is a human nature problem, not an SE problem.

TBH, que times haven't been too bad for me when I DF as Samurai. Since the simultanious logout thing, they've been popping up at least 10-13 minutes after I quefor me. Before that it was around 20-30 minutes.

The issue with DPS vrs Healer/Tanks is that people do not want to play healer/tanks as they get made good targets for harassment if things go astray. From reading what people have said in the forums about tanking/healing, they are afraid of the lash back they might get if they mess up. But honestly, I've only had two people lash at me for minor mistakes, all my major mistakes that cause wipes have led to people giving me really useful tips. Tanks already have mounts you can get from queuing up as tanks for dungeons, so there are some already in place. It's just the lack of interest from either people who do not like the play-style, or those who are afraid of actually trying because they don't want the heat of possible harassment. Even if it's very rare to happen. At least, from my experience.

This idea reads as "I'm a tank/healer main and i want those faster queue times when i level dps alts"
