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's weird - everything was working fine before they started splitting things up into "groups".

That and they needed to not design the duty finder system so it is "instance specific" where one instance gets overloaded. The damn thing should be designed to handle whatever load of dungeons are being utilized dynamically, some of the networking design decisions in this game are baffling and short sighted.

No, they need either more instance servers or bigger instance servers. This game does not have ten+ million players, as a certain MMO did back at the release of a certain raid where the main "Instance server full" fiasco occurred. There's really no excuse, and it's painfully obvious they cheaped out on servers, even after the upgrades they did. Waiting for an instance when you have a full group is not okay.

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

not only that, but its also what happens when the majority of your content (most of it endgame, which people are very quickly getting to) is just instanced and more instanced stuff. How about some NM/HNMs...faction leves (which were popable versions) Open dungeons, have the beastmen camps do what they did in 1.0 which was that they would drop keys and you could pop coffers for a change at some good gear or random loot/gil. What about a group city defense like XI had for ToAU. Maybe high end only areas sort of like sky and sea that a mix of stuff purely for 50's and you had to do some challanging stuff to get to it.

I get most of my ideas are from XI/1.0, but im not gonna stick to this game if all we do is linear gear treadmill through instance dungeons...dont think many people in general will.

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.
