The Weeping City of Mhach Queue time

[Pokelong]

So, i've been in queue for that alliance raid already over 1 hour. Doesn't it get filled with people in roulette queue? Then it shouldn't take that long. But how come it never gets filled?

I just want to reach Dun Scaith raid, so i can get the gear there. But unfortunately, i am blocked from getting the gear cause of queue time. It's disgusting not getting the gear I want to collect, just because I can't get through the quest line.

Please SE fix this. Either make the diabolic gear buyable from an NPC, or do something about queue time.

Edit: It's prime time and I am dps.

They can't really do anything about the queue time But there are a couple factors that can play into that.

First we have Bozja which was just released and pulling a whole lot of the player base away from all other content. The other factor is what time you are queueing. If you are queueing in the "dead zone" times, which is usually late nights to early afternoons when people are generally sleeping and working, everything is going to take longer. Esp on a weekday Try queueing up in prime time and it should be quick(er).

well it's prime time in EU and I am queuing as DPS

Well then you may be suffering just from Bozja being new. it will settle down soon, but those are the punches you role with in an MMO I'm afraid. New content will always eclipse the older stuff, especially when ppl enjoy it.

They will release the crafted versions at some point, we just got the yafaemi, so the diabolic won't be far off.

Welcome to Alliance raids, thanks to ARR raids being very short and mandatory for the story other alliances get the short end of the stick. Ever since 5.3 released I never got a non ARR raid when I was leveling my DRG and BLM and I did the roulette every day for maybe close to a month.

It sucks and nothing will likely be done, they're quick but get really boring after days on end, and hamper the queue times of other raids as you said. Only two solutions I see would be to make the roulette a minimum of lvl 60 with the IL for at least Void Ark, or spilt the raids into two roulettes, a 60/70/80 one, and a ARR.

To be exact, we got a weird half-and-half mix of Yafaemi/Diabolic designs in the Facet sets and we'll hopefully get the other halves soon.

Actually, they can. Currently, people can strip off all but one piece of gear and force the roulette to only queue up for LotA as their ilvl doesn't qualify for the others. A lot of people do this hence why queues for the other raids can be abysmal. Furthermore, you get an equal amount of EXP regardless of the raid. While Weeping isn't much longer, it's a huge reason people won't touch some o the Ivalice raids (mostly Orbonne).

With all that said, Bozja is definitely wear people are congregating at the moment, especially since it's been over two months since we've had anything new. But the above certainly doesn't help Alliance Roulette.

A somewhat solution will be prioritizing players using the mentor roulette to be sent there to those raids, since right now is probably the content with the longest queue time alongside an extreme primal.

That's the case not only for Wiping City but other old alliance raids. I was once queuing for Ridorana for Khloe's book. I was doing other stuff while waiting then went to eat dinner and came back. I had totally forgotten I was queuing for something when I went to eat, and when I got back and looked at the timer, it was well over 120 minutes. Needless to say, I withdrew from the duty to queue for something else and actually play.
