Wait times for Deltascape are ridiclious

[HisShadowX]

So I’ve finally gotten to the ‘normal raids’ in Stormblood and as a tank the waits so far are over 30 minutes which is crazy. What’s going on is this run not on the roulette?

I think it’s awful that story content for example with coils is out because it does not go on the roulette and people miss out on the content. If it’s going to be like this Square needs to consider A.I party members.

Sadly the grand company A.I is horrible and I would hope they change that for more of a player programmable gambit system

Use party finder for old content.

Is this an NA problem?

I recently qued for alphascape for WT as a dps and got a group in 10 mins and that wasnt even prime time in JP, dont think I ever had to wait too long for anything pve outside of extremes through DF since they only pop during late evening/night time JP which is prime time.

I’m sorry Party Finder what’s that?

Binding Coils is different than what your situation is. Binding Coils simply isn't in the normal raid roulette at all because it's all savage difficulty. They changed things with HW to have the story content separate from savage.

Your issue is largely just a lot more players have Alexander unlocked than Omegascape, so it tends to pop up more. Sorta along the same lines as why Crystal Tower appears much more than the Mhach raids and the Mhach raids appear more than the Ivalice raids (ignoring the added effect that many people lower their ilvl for Crystal tower). Unfortunately your only real options are just be patient or as someone else said use Party Finder.

Party finder is an option in your menu. It basically lets people put up parties for content they want to run and other people join if they want to run it. It's mainly used for running current hardcore content and farming older EX/Savage content, but it can also be used for getting you through the Omegascape, though you may have to wait for it to fill. If you do make a PF, be sure to make it clear that it's your first time so others will know that they can get first time bonuses.

The Moogle event might also be partly to blame if this is a recent experience.

I know I've gotten plenty of Omega in roulette as recently as late last year, but I haven't done it much this year.

You can solo all Coil turns unsynced at level 80. So there’s no need for you to put them in a roulette. Just queue up on an 80 job and do them. You still get to enjoy the story aspect.

Early morning on a holiday isn't a great time to do stuff. Try again after the daily reset when people are queuing for their weekly tomes.

Instead of the game automatically trying to match you with other players through roulettes, you advertise a party yourself and wait for people to join. If you open the Main Menu, you'll find it under Party. You can also set a shortcut to open Party Finder under the Keybinds -> Shortcuts

From there, just set up the party asking selecting what duty you want and advertising you're new/have first time bonus. Make sure it's listed under Raids. These two videos below should give you an idea how it works.

Keep in mind, today is a holiday and early morning isn't a good time for NA. You'll likely have better luck if you want to stick to the Roulette rout in the afternoon to evening hours. At least when it comes to old Raids that typically don't have much incentive for people to run frequently.
