Waiting queue for Ruins of Mazzatun?

fetito666

Is a 90 minutes queue for this dungeon normal? Is it too hard? Hated? Beloved?

I am slightly confused.

if you are a dd you have the longest queues
if you play during rush hours you have longer queues
if you play outside of rush hours they are usually shorter (for example early morning)

normal is for a tank 1-5 mins
for a dd usually 15-45 mins
healer i have no xp but think in between

ruins of mazzatun on veteran is quite hard and i think not a lot of people like doing it because of that and because the sets are rather niche

Not a great dungeon to do on vet with a pug. Mobs are quite tough and hit hard - with low dps you're in for a painful run.

Some of the bosses have mechanics that require the DPS to do something, such as the first boss where someone, usually DPS, has to run behind guy with shield so boss tunnels into it. So many pugs I've been in fail at this point.

The boss that spits the poison on the ground - DPS here usually keep hitting the boss, somehow not noticing that they're doing no damage, and don't pick up the poison and take it to a gush of water.

Final boss needs a bit of coordination, too.

All in all this is one of the few dungeons I'll rarely pug as a tank. It doesn't surprise me that the queue is high for a DPS.

But be a good DPS and go read the guide on how to do it; that'll make everyone's lives easier.

Not if you queue with anyone else, any role.

2x DD? *zip zip to the front of queue*

Zos keeps making 2 dlc a year that are not fun for the majority of players. (Dlc dungeons) So most players choose not to play that content. Not too surprising.

That has been working for me for quite a while.

It doesnt have a monster set that is widely sought after like some of the others and the gear is rather niche as @Nemesis7884 pointed out.

I don't think that it's very difficult (when compared to other DLC dungeons), it's just a little longer than some and some of the fights feel tedious. Check out Xynodes "All About Mechanics", it's a great guide and explains the fights well.

Catch it when it is a pledge and the queue goes faster.

I think vDLC dungeons are amazing for first several runs when you learn them. But after that no point to PUG them at all. If you need more keys you may just re-log to another toon and complete vFG1 HM again in 5 minutes even with complete potatoes. ZOS should consider buffing rewards for vDLC. Maybe more keys or golden transmute stones whatever.
As for now vDLC pledges are p-o-i-n-t-l-e-s-s if you already completed them 10 times.

What does vDLC mean? I know what a DLC is, but not what the "v" stands for. Veteran?

I finished the pledge in the end by grouping with another DPS and the queue time was much shorter. This almost makes me feel guilty.

Considering a lot of players cant even complete normal let alone vet, that would almost explain everything

Usually people queuing for randoms will get matches with you or people farming heem jas or amberplasm

It's hard first couple of clears. The sets are niche for that and vcos. Which is sad because they are pretty sets. Zos just cant figure out itemization or progression the two most vital aspects for vital long term players.

Mazz is a blast in normal though. Heem-Jas has to be one of the funniest dungeon NPCs in the game.

RoM is a really long dungeon, takes a long time to finish even on normal, and doesn’t drop desirable sets that people are farming. That all means almost no one queues for it.

If it’s the pledge that day the queue will be shorter but only by a bit, because most of us who pledge it go with friends or guildies who already know it.

Or in the words of a friend, “no thanks. I can do both other pledges on hm, a BG and a trial in the tine it will take us to do rom”

Yep, the v is for veteran.

I think the game is dying. I can't find people to do anything anymore. Random dungeon? Not a peep. Vet pledges? Nope. Motif farming? Nope. No death/speed run? No thanks. vBRP or vDSA? What's that? You ask in all your guilds, zone chat, etc. Can't get a group together to save your life...

People have had it with zos and are moving on to greener pastures.

I love this dungeon.I personally think it is easy,but that is not common opinion either.

Really the only way top get into it consistently.

I personally view him as an Argonian math teacher.Seriously the guy would fit in with most math teachers I've encountered.

As others have posted it will take some time if you are DPS. If it is not a Pledge it will take even longer than on a Pledge day.

You may be able to go to one of the three Undaunted Pledge giver sites (like Wayrest in Stormhaven) and post in Zone Chat that you are looking to run a specific dungeon in (Vet,Normal) and what role(s) you are or need.

I do this from time to time and it works rather well. Ran all the pledges yesterday in Vet by asking for others to join me in Zone Chat in Wayrest.
