    Anyone else notice there has been a problem with the DF lately?

    I've noticed this since ShB that the DF will start a new queue and not filter people into in progress queues.

    I've had a lot of friends in 24 man runs that have asked for help when they loose their team, even though it said it's searching for members it never fills.

    I had one friend asking for help in Orbonne, they had no healers in one alliance. Ended up vote abandoning cause it just wouldn't put us in the queue.

    And another my BF in WoD and they had people leave, their alliance never filled, and I had a new queue pop, and it wouldn't let me help them.

    I never had this trouble before, so I'm wondering if anyone else noticed the DF having trouble?

    When you try to get into a specific in-prog run that is missing the role you're queueing on but you still don't get in to their group, from what I have heard that is a result of someone somewhere else getting the in-prog queue for that party but having yet to accept/deny it. Therefore, you might get shuffled to a new forming group in the meantime.

    It happened a lot back in 2013-15. FC members call for a healer in Haukke after the selected one left, I am getting ready to join a "party in progress" and get a fresh Aurum Vale while my guys still wait. Now I am stuck in a duty without a bonus and my guys have no healer.


    Yep, this stuff always happens.

    I've been in several, if not most of my runs being in progress runs. Are you making sure that in Duty Finder options, that joining in Progress in enabled? Keeping in mind it only works while solo queueing. It can be set with the gear icon at top left of Duty Finder, in case this wasn't known.

    Languages may also impact this. If at least one person in the party has a language checked that the person trying to fill the in-progress spot does not, then the game will ignore the in-progress. (For example, one player has English and French checked, one has all languages checked, and one has only French checked. An English only queue-er is not going to get into that party.)

    The solution is if you are frequently an in-progress rescuer on a role like tank or healer, then make sure all languages in your Duty Finder settings are checked prior to queuing.

    I have French unchecked(because be wary of Moogle), yet I've been in several groups where the other 3 people only had French checked, so I don't think this is working as intended.

    I hope SE fix this soon. Been an issue since I started this game in 2014.

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

    Hey Thyn'a o/

    Was having this exact issue when someone in our LS needed a fill-in for a run. Tried to join and wouldn't let me. Especially for those 24 man. So yeah, you're not the only one /sigh

If you're capable of healing DRK back in ShB (or any tanks), then you'll heal EW DRK just fine.

    Yeah, I know that someone has to accept it, you can tell when a party is filling by looking on the duty bar, it will say filling members or something like that. In all the cases my friends instances said it was filling but they never got anyone!

    Yep! I made sure I had inprogress selected and I tried playing around with the settings. I even went to look at my BFs screen to make sure his instance was accepting more people and it was. The whole run they never got any more people, so the other two alliances were full and his was left with only five.

    I actually thought that might be the problem at first, but I tried with only english selected and I tried with all languages selected because I usually keep all languages selected but it wasn't working so I filtered through them. Nothing worked!

    ;; I'm glad I'm not the only one imagining this. I've never had trouble helping with in-progress stuff over the years, it's only recently, and its been specifically with 24 mans that I've had the trouble. I've not tried any dungeons, but I have been getting inprogress dungeons since ShB launch, I have not gotten any inprogress alliance raids though.

    I never had this trouble before, so it was really surprising to me. Good to know it's not just me having the trouble at least.
