High Queue Times

[ZephyrMenodora]

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.

TBH I feel like 2023 in general has been a big year for game releases and likely to continue. You also have releases from earlier in the year that people are getting around to picking up like Tears of the Koroks. Plus some that ended up getting a huge amount of positive attention somewhat unexpectedly like Dead Island 2, Exoprimal, Remnant 2, etc... And we have more on the way like Payday 3, Starfield, etc... 2024 has a tough act to follow up on lol.

For sure. Starfield will be big and time consuming, also Spider-Man 2 will suck up a bunch of hours for some. It’s going to take me months to get through Baldurs and I will need to find time for Mortal Kombat next month. My FF playtime is now less than 5 hours a week. Hard to juggle it all.

All these excitement new games does mean I do the bare minimum gear up a couple roles - what’s left isn’t exiting enough to compete with brand new stories and gameplay.
