Abnormal dungeon queues

13oot5straps · May 2016

I say abnormal because we all know the dungeon finder takes forever, which is normal, but the last two weeks I have experienced 30+ minute queues as a healer during prime time hours. This started I would say at least 10 days ago where even as a healer my queue time is horrendous. I believe 8-9 days ago I a queued as a dd and forgot I had queued it took so long, 2+ hours later; subsequently this left a bad taste in my mouth I only wanted to queue on my healer. I am not understanding what has changed the past couple of weeks, but my normal queue time for a healer is easily under 5 minutes at most. Usually a lot lower if I'm queued for random or pledges. Is anyone else experiencing abnormal queue times; abnormal being relative to the norm of already long queue times?

I've queued as a tank a couple of times and my queue times have been pretty short, a couple minutes at most.

As a healer, it should be even shorter for you. Not sure why your wait is so long.

I've been experiencing the exact opposite over the past month where I was consistently queing for dungeons. They were popping so fast (3-5 mins) I had to turn them off so I could deconn all the loot I got from the previous run. Is this a vet dungeon problem only or something? For normals things have gone very well on my Vet 16 DPS AT early morning and mid afternoon when I have time during the week.

DPS = Dime a Dozen
Healer = Uncommon but they exist
Tank = Myths (or are so bad they might as well not exist)

Tanks are a dying breed in ESO and ZOS is not helping that with all the nerfs they dish out towards them on a near consist basis as well as making content so easy that it doesn't require a tank. Roll a tank if you want instant queues as healers are becoming more and more common that even they have to wait in queue from time to time.

Yeah I don't know I think it glitches out sometimes. I spent 90 minutes in queue as healer a short while ago for both pledges. I finally dropped out, as I was planning on completing pledges before cyrodiil. After an hour in pvp I try to give it another shot with the finder and it grouped me in 30 seconds. I think for some reason, at times, the ui will state that I have queued and actively reflect a timer that has started since then, but in actuality I was never placed into a queue.
