FFXIV Random Complaint Thread: Look forward to it

[Sephiroth]

Seems like queue times have been significantly longer since update (for Primal data center at least). Hard to tell if it's the DF servers, if there are just way fewer people playing these past couple days, or both.

Definitely something weird going on with DF servers.

Was queuing for Ifrit extreme (because after 7 hours wasted in PF groups today/yesterday trying to get my weekly clear what else can you do?) and it popped up. A DPS didn't accept and it threw me back in the queue 7/8. Same happened again except this time it threw me back in the queue 1/8. I thought the servers always kept you with the people the instance popped up with the first/second/whatever time.

It always tosses you back into 1/8. However, you're most likely at the top of priority after a failed pop, so if the DF can produce most of a team again immediately it jumps you right back into 7/8. If it can't make a team, you go to 1/8 for a few minutes.

Yeah but presumably those tanks and healers would still be there and as I'd be one of the top 3 DDs it would product the same 7/8 again? I waited like 5 minutes at 1/8 before giving up. Just started to seem like my "priority" had reset itself. Probably saved myself from a few rounds of death to heal bombs anyway. I think it's time to stop collecting primal weapons, all my main jobs have them and they'll be trash in a month.

Mostly brought it up because I get these long queues no matter which class I'm playing. Only thing that seems to queue instant is low level tank. Also went through a whole Tamtara without ever getting a tank replacement after he bailed on first pull (admittedly it was like 2AM PST so might not mean anything).

Have also not seen many in progress runs, as if most people are just quitting when someone leaves. This might be related to the 30min kick penalty not being applied at the moment.

I stopped paying attention to the 1/8 7/8 etc. They rarely seem accurate.

[Scythiroth]

Oh man, I love how they reimplemented the quest tracker/untracker and it doesn't let you untrack quests, so useful!

[Drac]

It only prioritizes lol, the ones you check get put up top in the list.

Yeahhh, this is pretty pointless.

[Obsidian]

Better than nothing. Useful for doing 6 dailies at a time since the one that gets shoved off the Tracker won't shows its objectives on the map.

This is now the greatest thing ever when I'm on a princess job and queues are flowing, but I'm wondering if it has somehow been what's wrecked the queues on primal.

[Null]

Every que I've done today has been over an hour wait although it says less then 10

[Dathus]

15-ish mins for WP as a DPS with "average wait time 8 mins", so idk?

[Pruviant]

Still getting insta-pops as tank for Roulette, others take 2-3 minutes. Seems normal to me

The queuing average is still not actually role segregated. It's the tank and healer averages dropping those average wait times down a lot.

Princess tank leveling was the best, since I could bail on parties at will. Sadly I'm now in the oblivion of DPS queue to finish up my last jobs.

Except it is. CT tank queue is ~6min right now while DPS is ~27min.

[Narol]

Apparently blacklists don't function when you're in an instance. Was in CT and could see chat by someone who's on my blacklist. Not really a common occurrence, but it was definitely surprising since I didn't know it worked that way (it's probably a bug of some description but I can just imagine SE's reasoning being that "party communication" or whatever trumps not getting the shit annoyed out of you by someone's trollishness).

[Sephiroth]

It's probably for the 0.00000001% chance someone on another server has the same name as someone on your blacklist.

[Shaano]

Hit some luck on crafting some items and selling for about 100k, went to sleep and shit is dropping to 60k. I can understand undercutting a little, but that fucking much come on people.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Probably people who just look at the "prices sold" history and don't give a shit about what's actually up.
