Mind-numbing long wait times...

[Darkside345]

Is there any way that they can speed up the wait times for Xbox users waiting for a dungeon? Seriously, I need to do the Ultima's Bane run and I waited for over 200 minutes. And the Labyrinth of the Ancients was just as long without getting in.

Data Center travel to any world on the Faerie Data Center.
That's what most people do it seems.

Sorry there is a special slow queue that is reserved for xbox players.

j/k the ways to speed up queue are usually:

1. For 24p raids, queue as dps because there are more slots

2. For dungeons, queue as (or with) a tank or healer (or adventurer in demand if there is one); or use duty support if it is available

3. For regular trials, try queuing as a different role (tank or healer usually good)

4. For ex trials (or hm in arr), try party finder

5. If you just need the clear, you can also run it unsynced with a high level player (or solo depending on the duty); can ask for help in your free company or possibly in novice network

6. If all else fails, you can try it on a higher population data center with more party finders (not a huge fan of this bc in na aether has become a self fulfilling prophecy)

good luck!

if it is minstrel's ballad ultima's bane then it is a) an extreme trial b) optional and c) not likely to pop quickly in duty finder on most DCs; usually people set up a party finder.

labyrinth of the ancients should be fine in df, especially peak times; I might try monday evening, day before reset

I can't imagine having a hard time getting into LotA. I have to work to avoid ending up in there.

by "try party finder" I mean set up a party finder yourself if there isn't one already

Join the Novice Network on Marilith and mention that you need to complete a duty for MSQ progression. There's usually someone happy to help out and who may even teach you how to use Party Finder to your advantage to get duties completed faster. A lot of Dynamis players keep on eye on PF for first time completions to help out and/or get the first time completion bonuses that apply to everyone in the party.

There are also parties frequently getting organized in the Marilith NN for the Crystal Tower raids to help new players get those completed without having to use data center travel.

It's an optional piece of content. It's not required.
Assuming you're not on the Free Trial, you have a tool called Party Finder for these optional things. It'll help you get some quick help (sometimes) as it'll group people outside the instance instead of inside like Duty Finder. This gives you the option, if you so desire, to have some level 90 friends just kill the thing in a few seconds for you rather than syncing everyone down to level 50.

But again, Ultima's Bane is optional. You do not need to do this content.

Thank you for the suggestion. But I have an Xbox, so I don't have access to that data center. I am able to go across worlds and tried it but this didn't make any difference in the wait time. Although I did find a few things I was looking for on the Market Boards that were not available on my home world. So that's something.
