Queues for pledges are taking 20+ mins as a healer...

MaxJrFTW

At this point you have to wonder if the game is dying or what the hell is going on. It's been 2 days in a row that i haven't been able to do pledges. COMMON, THIS IS SRS BSNS!

Vajrak

I just had a 2 minute queue as a DPS...maybe you just are on at bad times?

MaxJrFTW

24 mins and counting...

redspecter23

Have you considered asking your guildmates, friends and possibly in zone for groups? Then as a last resort, use group finder when you have no other options left?

Group finder isn't a requirement for pledges.

Group finder isn't a requirement for pledges.

Have you considered the fact that guildmates, friends, and random players in zone chat aren't always willing to do what you want to do?

Kadoin

I don't pledge when there's events like this. In fact, I log on less in protest! Down with all the events! I'll tear up IRL before I open another box with Lorkan's Tears!

Well, that and its too laggy ...

Have you considered that the queue sometimes works the same way?

AcadianPaladin

Which pledge(s)? Vet/Normal? Platform & server?

It’s because people are turning to fake healing to avoid dps queues. They slot like one or two heals and use them if they can squeeze them into their dps rotation. It annoys me as dps and annoys as healer since the queues are so much longer now.

I don’t really care on normal, but on vet I like to heal or be healed.

MaxJrFTW

After 35 minutes it gave me a 90 cp with 13k, and 215cp with 10k hp, and a 498 cp tank with 19.9k hp. Nice...

Yeah I don't care about normal. But getting fake heals and fake tanks on vet is really annoying. I'm sick of getting fake tanks with 20k health. I don't care about your queue times. If your not a Tank then DONT! queue as one

Tasear

Normals queuing as a legit healer has become pretty back during normal hours. I just queue for vet now unless I am leveling skills like I am doing this week.

LeagueTroll

Because more ppl figures it’s easier to get by as a healer. Tanks like me self sustain every thing except some dlc ones just fine. Where potatoes dd i kick them all the time.

Pretty much this.

The game is certainly not dying. I think that the statement in the OP is a little melodramatic.

ArchMikem

Even if youre a Healer you still need to wait for a Tank.

Nemesis7884

For dps 15 - 45 min is pretty standard... a lot of dps keep some healing gear on the side for faster queues as a 50% healer is suffice for most dungeons...

DoobZ69

When people who are frustrated with their non-DK tanks come to voice their concerns they get shut down by the veteran trial players and ZOS only listens to them. You have them to blame. The Sorc tanking discord channel has had no discussion/activity since my last rant 6 months ago where I just got belittled and laughed out of the room.

In other words - good luck.

DLM

I run pledges every day religiously... Except lately with the event running.

I guess that I am not alone in this boat, so the pool of players available for dungeons is smaller, hence longer queues.

Q times are frustrating, but I have rarely experienced any issues as a healer or tonk. DPS, I can wait over 30 mins, particularly during events cos folk are doing other things.

welp all you can do is say thanks to ZOS and dungs desings....atleast these the oldest xD
only in newest content healer is usefull but mianly if healer can provide enough additional boosts for dps

for rest older content? well this is just *** desing as healer really is no needed and faster is to do these dung with 3dd - as with mechanics we have barely damage top wchich even vigor is to good or jsut 1shots where heler wont help so is eseless at all

most exp players adapted to this and if they run as tank they are aware for fake healer in group or even many tanks are build for 3dd runw ithout heal as for them this is really faster if they dont need that heal

and about dps...well dps with dps role at all need to wait sick amout of time for pledge..so many dps's queue jsut as fake heal to get faster into this dung to which heal is no needed at all

I can say there is really no need for healer to even a bit exp players in every basic game dung and I have saw healer as usefull thing in group in dung only from wolfhunter to these newest - these older dlc dung are easier/faster to do without healer, with 3rd dd

I myself was doing with friends basic dung pledges even on 4dd, nobody with any support/taunt etc xD not only this is really fast run but even funnier for us when we see how this content really dsont need any support role to do xD

Basic dungs doesn't require a group to do (with few exceptions)

yeah at all these dont that much xDD
but that always easier for you when boss is not most of the time on you at all like most trash on you when pulling hordes from boss to boss xD

when I havn't full group of friend for this but jsut 1 friend...we was changing role int fake tank and fake healer for this then fast queue and we was carring many times noobs on basic pledges while not having agro full of the time on us and having together 70%+ group dps in jsut duo xD

Im only curious how these randoms was looking at us when we was running straigh to boss with all trash and then meling everything as in those situations I never had with this my friend an accident as someone wanting to kick one of us for fake tanking or fake healing while we was meling this all that fast xD

Agreed. In fact most normal dungeons can be soloed even.

arn't we talking about vet dungs? xD

Tonnopesce

About 20-40 seconds as a tank, 1-2 minutes as a heale and 30-40 minutes as a dd.
This are my usual times of waiting

Tasear

Thinking about biggest issue is it's not fun for most tanks to play tank with randoms. Healers on other hand ...we like seeing people dying then we save them.

@ZOS_RobGarrett

Moonsorrow

Funny thing is, the more people are on group finder queue (both for pve and bgs) the more badly it works.. server cannot handle so many instances of dungeons/bgs so instead of saying that as a reason it falsely makes people wait on queues for long time and/or spam the F button to no effect.

Good example is bgs queue at primetime and like at morning.. those who play a lot of bgs have noticed this for some time now. Everything works badly when more people online. Even if would imagine faster to get in.

edit: Reality atleast on PC EU server for some time now.

That's why you ask. They can say yes or no. If they don't want to, then they say no. You will literally get better results asking on the game than complaining on the forum to help your situation.

John_Falstaff

I'd imagine that it's normal to have longer queues those days. First, server population got capped (if you're on PC/EU), so fewer people to run; second, everyone and their dog are running delve and world boss dailies for event rewards, and considering that limit is 50 per day per character, that's a full time job for the hotheads out there. ^^
