24man SB Raid queue times

[Rimbatur]

At the moment a mate and I are having trouble getting into Ridorana Lighthouse. So far we are approaching a accumulated waiting time of 240 mins. During that time it only opened once, but someone revoked their entry and we didn't get in.

Before that we did Rabanastre and needed to wait 60+ minutes on that.

We tried entering in different roles allready but nothing changed.

It sometimes goes up to just a few players missing and then switches back to 4/5 players overall.

Just asking whether it's working as intended and not having any issues at the moment?

Good morning and thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Unfortunately the issue you are describing is not something we can assist with in the Technical Support Forums. I will be moving this thread to " General Discussion".


Hope to see you online!

Judging from the server of your character on the forums (Moogle), you're playing on Chaos, aka the EU-DC, correct?

In that case I would consider the following:

- you're queueing for this during midday/afternoon - people are at work/uni/school
- you're queueing for this on a monday - most people are waiting for the reset on tuesday before they do stuff again (even stuff thats not on a weekly lockout)
- its (already) outdated content that gets frequented less
- you mention a "we" and different party compositionss - in my experience queueing as a group can slow you further down, because they cant match you as easly anymore. Even more so when queueing with a tank.

All in all... I dont think this would be extremly uncommon or broken in the sense of not working.
Its a monday afternoon in Europe - not the best time to run old 24 man raids to be honest.

It's also Monday, so people who would run the roulette for tomestones have already capped for the week. Try on Tuesday after the weekly reset.

You might get lucky in the late afternoon or at night, because there's always people who forgot or postponed their 24 man runs (for the coins) to today.

I often find that Tuesday/Wednesdays are the best days to queue for raids in general. On average I get cleaner runs. That's not to say that I never get a bad group on tuesday and never get good groups on a Sunday, but in general it seems the sooner in the raid week you do it the better odds of getting a good group.

Make sure to tick all languages and "join party in progress" for your best chances of getting a group too.

Worked fine for me earlier.Im on same data centre and it took me 5-10 mins.
On mondays you will generally have a long wait time as people are more focused on getting other weekly clears on savage and orbonne before reset and doing ex roulette to make sure they have their weekly tome cap and some useing party finder to finish their khloe book.
