    High Queue Times

    Hi
    Queue as a DPS and you could wait anywhere from 10 - 20 mins, from a world that is "congested." Meanwhile, only Tanks and Healers get perks from running Roulettes, and god forbid you choose a DPS else you will not only be unrewarded, but wait in line for 30 minutes. I have canceled my sub at this point, and its running out soon. This game has a lot of work to do. Stop the glamourized timed sync from 1.0.

    So what you are saying is the most populated role in roulettes has the longest queue time? Why are you surprised? Play a tank or healer and problem solved.


    also, DPS can be adv in need, but its rare because, shocker, there are more of them. So they don't need a reward to play their role because queues aren't waiting on them.

    Back to wow then, i suppose they solved this issue years ago right.

    Oh wait, its the same problem in every MMO. Damn.

    Atleast on Materia DC DPS in need is a common thing, because we have a large population of healer/tank mains in comparison to other DCs.

    I always just queue as DPS to mitigate when you get (and this happened) smns who haven't unlocked bahamut/phoenix, SAMs who don't use their sen, or (my absolute favourite) 0 hypercharge mch. Incredibly rare events, but damn if I don't think about them whenever I go to queue.

    Oh yeah, the meme players are a real thing and i have come to realize that nothing you do to help them will ever drag them up from the absolute skill floor.

    You can give them advice, constructive criticism and they will still play like they have no hands. It's just type of player the game breeds when the standard gameplay has absolutely no difficulty to it.

    Welcome to something normal with MMO's? Unless the Tank or Healer job/class in a game is broken OP the overwhelming majority of players in the game are going to play DPS. Generally this is due to a combination of little to no party responsibility and an obsession with either big numbers or their "dps". Parties can easily clear content without DPS. You're just there to make it take less time.

    DPS wait times are common in every trinity mmo I’ve played. That said I have noticed queue times increasing. I usually have an hour before work to play. In the past I could do one or two roulettes before work. Now sometimes the wait is too long and I have to log out without doing any. Happens more than I like lately.

    Hoping it’s just the result of us being in a lull and Ff16, Diablo4, and Baldurs 3 all coming out around the same time.

    A lot of that is because of DC travel, because everyone just moves to aether to do things now. They never should have added it IMO, its just made other DCs worse off for content.
