80 minutes in Frontline Daily Queue and counting.

This is unacceptable, Squeenix.

EDIT: After 2 and a half hours I dropped queue. Thanks for wasting my time.

How is SE going to fix people not queueing for a content you want to do right now, is it even prime time on your server rn?

Thank you. Your useless insult really moves the conversation forward.

Thank you. Your useless insult really moves the conversation forward.

Please point me to where I insulted you? Genuinely confused.

OP is on Zalera, which is on Crystal. They posted at 6:17am CST, and then updated at 7:08am CST. Considering it’s a Saturday morning on NA, no. It’s not prime time here.

Well theres your answer OP.

[ItMe]

OP, I'm sorry to hear you couldn't get into the content you wanted to enjoy.
How do you think SQEX could better incentivise people to run PvP?

Man if OP saw this as an insult I got no chance getting through to him.

So I'll TLDR it - queue between 6-10PM ET and if you can't, then it won't pop. Not SE's fault, community doesnt wanna play other than dailies.

On Aether it's more like 3pm Eastern to significantly past midnight; like 2am EDT is only 11pm PDT.

You used to be able to get 8 man party 24 person matches about 1-2 an hour almost all day long. That time period where it's later than late night but not yet morning was always a dead spot though. There actually was a morning 'before work' sort of crowd where you could get back to back matches in for a few hours. It was more like 7am-10am Eastern though.

Aethers pretty good for frontlines atm ye, because there's a group there called ARGO that runs Frontline competitions for gil/mogstation prizes and they're quite popular, and their home is Aether.

And ye that was the good thing about 24man, personally I cant envision playing Onsal as 24man because it was designed as a 72man map, and I had varying levels of enjoyment under the old 24man system because it was fun in a competant alliance, whether you had a premade or not, it wasn't if you didn't because you could not lean on 2 other alliances to give you a chance. But the best part about it had to be the extra 4 hours of queues it gave you.

Probably by making it Fun again and allowing 8v8v8 back into existance.
Squeenix listened to frustrated part time pvpers, removed 8v8v8 and 8 man premades cause they got stomped. Now they still get stomped by 4 man premades. Part time PvPers ran out of excuses: now they dont queue anymore.

I recommend playing other games for PvP, at least thats what i do. PvP in FF is kinda pointless now anyway.

And before people now claim that pvp never went on outside of prime time: before the removal of 8v8v8 we hat queues pop until 4 am in the morning even after the casualisation with the release of Stormblood.

How is that a “useless insult”? You’re complaining about queue times, but that’s not something SE has a ready fix for. PvP simply isn’t interesting or engaging enough for some people. A lot of people, actually. And there aren’t many incentives to keep doing it after one has earned enough Wolf Marks to buy all the goodies they want.

Personally, I dislike PvP in this game—at least how it is now. I actually enjoyed it back in HW before the skill consolidation, and had a lot of fun doing it with friends during Garo. But when SB dropped and jobs went to having 8 buttons—idk. It lost its appeal to me and a lot of other people I know.
