Today I queued for a specific dungeon, not a pledge, and waited for 2.5 hrs before giving up. Then I waited 1.75 hrs for daily random before logging. Will try again tonight. Anyone else having this problem? 210108-004092

    I've been finding lately that the random queue is looking for a specific role or combination of roles, even if the group could fill otherwise.

    Example.

    My friend and I want to queue for a random normal. We queue as 2 dps. Nothing happens for 2 minutes.
    We then queue as tank and dps. Still nothing.
    When we queue as heals and dps, instant pop.

    Are we to believe that there are no combinations available for that 2 dps group? Maybe there are no healers and tanks in the queue. It happens. Are we to believe there are no healer/dps combinations for the second group? Maybe?

    However, do this 10 times a day for a couple weeks and you'll start to see a pattern. If you sift through all the possible group combinations of roles one of them will get an instant queue. Maybe a tank or healer. Rarely a dps.

    I think there is some bug in the queue system (big surprise) that priortizes some set of players in the queue. If a group of 2 dps and 1 healer are somehow the priority group, then any solo player that queues as a tank will get that instant group.

    Short version. It is my belief that if you can fill multiple roles, try queueing for each and wait no longer than 10 seconds. You should get an instant queue from one of them.

    Bright Moons, you've been waiting for a long time my friend! Pacrooti thinks we should purchase some crown crates to pass the time.

    didn't seem weird for you? how did u even let the queue go on for so long? if my queue doesn't start in 10 seconds as tank or healer i just rejoin it until it pops instantly. Even as a dd, you should not wait more than 5 minutes for random. Just get a guildie and queue times are faster even as dd.

    as for specific dungeon, that can take a while if it's not a pledge from the current day or 1-2 days before, but still 1 hour is too much.

    sometimes the queue bugs out and u remain in a "ghost" queue, where it's just you until someone else also ends up there, it's not the regular queue everyone joins into. Just rejoin the queue every time timer seems too long.
