Starting the Game as a DD is a horrible experience

[Missbone]

So i decided to make a Twink yesterday and decided to start as a Lancer. Today i finaly reached the point where i have to do the first Dungeon and i already losing my motivation and thinking about starting over as a Tank or Heal Class. Right now im already 30 Minutes in the que for Sastasha.

This feels like a sick joke, someone could assume that a big and old game like this have some priority mechanics to help new chars getting fast through the Main Story and there first dungeons. But i guess this isnt the case for whatever reason.

Having recently leveled a new alt on rogue, I can't corroborate this. My queue lasted no longer than 8ish minutes for sastasha NM. Do you play in or around the prime time of your data center?

Since gear doesn't matter for PvP, not sure what you'd be twinking either way. Just play what you enjoy.

Dont know, im playinig right now, so i guess its primetime since its weekend. My Datacenter is Chaos on EU.

There are various reason why i decidet to make an alt. One was to have a char that looks different and a second to have more retainers for addional space and missions.

On US servers I've found that mid-afternoon on the weekends it's pretty dead. OTOH 30 min. sounds excessive. How are your language settings?

30m is definitely not the norm. For MSQ dungeons even for DPS queues it should never be taking longer than 20 minutes. Usually no longer than 10~15.

I have checked every Language availible, lets see if this was just bad luck or still happens with the other dungeons.

I have been leveling my MCH and when doing dungeons, I only need to wait around 17-20 minutes.

I also play on Chaos.

I've been playing since 2019 and only as DPS because I don't like healing and tanking. I disagree, it's not a horrible experience at all. Most queues are 5-10 min. If you get more than that, then the language settings in duty finder are wrong or you're trying to play when the whole server is asleep. Also, do not check Japanese unless you're on a Japanese server!

Is there a reason why i should deactivate japanese, does it increase the waiting times?

You are two days before a major patch. A lot of people are taking a small break prepping for that. Normally the leveling queue is how a lot of sprouts get quick times.
