2 HOUR QUEUE TIMES? MORE DUTY FINDER SERVERS NEED TO BE ADDED ASAP!

[Engineer]

Hi i just want to say the queue times keep getting longer and longer. It was understandable when the majority was playing DPS classes (20-30 minutes), but thats not the case anymore. We had a full group at around 50 minutes in, but couldnt go in since all the instances were full. It took about another hour with a full group to finally play.

SE needs to add more Duty Finder servers.

Since i hit 50, all ive been doing is waiting.... and waiting. This is not the game I see myself playing for very long if this keeps up.




THIS IS NOT OK.

Hello,

The development team is aware of the long wait times to reserve instances, and as mentioned by Yoshida during the Tokyo Game Show, we'll be increasing the amount of instance servers in mid-October to help alleviate this issue.

They just need to add more Mythology stone places, problem solved. Ampador Keep instance gets pretty damn full.

it is not that they need more servers, they need to adjust it so that when an instance pops up and has been reserved that if someone does not click join that the next player in line gets that slot, not finds a new player and then puts you in the back of the line for waiting for instance.

Also, weekends are ALWAYS the worst time to run in the DF as there are the most people playing. You can not see from your picture, but 2DD in queue waiting for a tank/healer combo or single tank and healer is also your problem. Most tanks/healers will pair up with at least 1 DPS to ensure that the run will be reasonably smooth which makes them essentially cut in line of any 2DD partial parties.

Join a FC or make friends on your server and queue with a tank or healer, you will find much better success with the DF, even in peek weekend hours.

Also note that the issues is happening in CM now as most people are running that as it is a better time/tomestone once you are capped on mythology. Also adding more places will not fix the issue as one will always be shorter, or easier if they are the same time and this is the one place everyone will flock to for farming

this is what happens when you make people spend 60 mins in an instance instead of the previous 20 and dont increase the number of instance servers

This has already brought me to my breaking point, add in the fact that after a queue like this if you get into a group where someone doesn't like your gear or the overall composition of the group and bails you're stuck waiting longer. If not starting over completely if its a primal fight since you can't requeue in those.

I'm supposed to get charged in 2 days, and I'm about to cancel it tonight.

And with that the problem of the overclogged instance server will be solved. SE is not going to add any more servers til they see how many paying customers are around and upgrade from there if needed.

Well they already fooled me once with 1.0 and I came back, I refuse to reward them a second time and resub with the assumption that it'll get better "Eventually" and listen to potentially 1-3 more years of their apologies.

They had their chance, and by my standards failed. I'd rather play just about anything else at this point.

Question is one of the effects of long wait times also effected by which role you are playing? If so then at times there isn't much SE can do unless they start making it so people have to make a tank or healer.

Sadly even being a healer doesn't solve it, most times as a SCH I still have equally long queue times. And despite maining tanks in every other MMO I've played it's probably the least fine tuned role in this game, not to mention the only entertaining tank (WAR) happens to be the least ideal and most shunned tank in practically all of the random groups I've done from start to finish, so I won't touch it and go through yet a 3rd fate grind to 50 (Another ridiculous issue of this game, but I digress) for another class just to avoid queues.

SE needs to make the tanks better, or link more servers together for Duty finder.

I wish it were only this. Yesterday I was in a party for AK all from my server, four man premade, and we had to sit in queue for thirty-two minutes before we got to do our run we had scheduled ahead of time. Once the queue finally popped someone couldn't stay because they lost so much of their play time waiting to actually enter the instance.
