Dungeon fill queue is broken

LittleLionLeone · March 31

I am not talking about the usual dungeon queue system. This is about the queue to fill in a missing group member.

There is zero way it's not broken, it almost never fills a missing dps until the very end of the dungeon which makes no sense considering the game has an overfill of dps players.

I also have never even joined a dungeon that's already in progress besides maybe once or twice as any roles. With how many people that end up leaving any random dungeon that's not FG1, you'd think having this fixed would greatly improve the queues for dps players. Almost every dps is clogged up in the queue waiting for a brand new dungeon meanwhile a group is struggling without their other dps.

And if this is somehow intentional then I don't see the point, sure some people might hate joining a group mid dungeon but it's better than sitting for half an hour waiting.

For some pledges you've to do more than just kill the last boss and it is a waste of time to join mid dungeon in such cases - especially if you had to wait ten minutes in the queue..

It's better than waiting half an hour to get in a random pug that might not even be able to do the dungeon though. DPS queues even for dungeon pledges can still take a long time and if you're doing pug vet ones then you're gambling your time with waiting.

I'd also rather just get put into a dungeon mid way through if it means I only have to wait 5-10 mins vs 30 to an hour. Regardless, it is clearly broken. I almost never get a fill whenever I am trying to do dungeons and someone leaves.

This issue has been in the game for literal years as well.

Even when I played healer 5 years ago it was like this too, it was really annoying because a lot of DPS people just immediately leave at the start of the dungeon (especially if it's one of the newer DLCs) and then the group is sometimes just stuck 3-manning it w/ 1 DPS because the dungeon queue won't fill the group with a replacement player for like 15+ minutes. At least if the other DPS is decent they can carry a bit.

There's also the bug where if the Tank/Healer is crown while grouped with 1 DPS the queue takes forever but if the DPS player queues instead of the support it's often instant. Not sure why the dungeon queue has been broken since release and why it's never been fully fixed.
