So the expansion just launched, I started playing few days ago, now I want to spam heroic dungeons to get gear, and queues are 20+ min.
How is this possible? Is anyone playing the game?
What else would you do if not spamming the heroics?
I do not remember situation being like this, ever…
Wdym 20+ min?
I’ve been queuing as moonkin today, queues have been like 4-5 minutes.
If you are playing DPS then expect no spam. It was like this since forever.
Mine as dps are usually 5-6 min.
game allready dead
It is odd that it worked better in EA than it has after launch. I find queues as dps are very hit and miss. We are the most common, the most plentiful. Yet if I queue with a tank/healer friend or if I change what role I’m playing the queues are so much faster.
Some of us think there may be some bugs, the avg time certainly has no clue what is going on.
Possibly bugs yeah, for what it’s worth my queues have been very fast even as dps.
I have been, that is why I’m pretty much done with heroic dungeons. As a healer, I’ve had instant queues and just farmed the gear I wanted. There are a couple pieces left for my off-spec, so I’m still doing Priory and Dawnbreaker, but I’m not queueing randomly at this point. The moment those drop I won’t run these dungeons before M0 opens.
Everything is too fast. Leveling was very quick, there was Early Access, healers/tanks have instant queues, heroic dungeons are very easy and you finish most of them in under 15 minutes (Priory is more like 8 in a decent group), the loot tables are small (so you get what you want quickly if you target farm it).
I actually spent yesterday evening playing a different game, which never happened before so close after a new expansion release. I have plenty of quests left to do, but I don’t feel very motivated to do them right now. The setting and story haven’t gripped me at all.
Healers and tanks finish getting the items they want faster than dps, so the healer/tank-to-dps ratio gets worse. Core gamers who main tanks or healers likely leveled them first.
Meanwhile there’s me with seven dps 
You know I’d be happy to tag along for some heroics to speed up your queues!
I leveled my hunter and DK to 80, but I don’t really feel like gearing them up. I think I always do best with the game when I just focus on one character!
Nothing to do with u thinking it’s dead it’s the tank/healer ratio
I only gear my main, the rest are just there for professions.
as dps for me its like MAX 3 minutes. But that is when queing alone. my friends qued together all day (3 dps) and they had like 20-30 minute timers meanwhile i had 1-3mins
Doing some levelling dungeons atm and the queue is really fast even as dps.
yeah i lvled my pally from 70-80 with only dungeons as dps, average que time i would say was 5 minutes
There is barely any point to spamm heroics.
When M0 is so close, can just wait for that
I went tank for my trinket far, faster queue
I’ve done it because my first raid night is on the same day M0 opens up, so I wanted to have at least 580+ items in every slot (and then upgrade items further if I don’t get something better in M0 before the raid).
No doubt I’m over-preparing, but I had fun chaining heroics and it let me experiment some with the hero talents.
There are no pre-raid BiS lists that i can find, so i can’t really target farm.
It just feels bad using the upgrade mats on Heroic gear when other stuff is close
So the average queue time is 3 min. and I just sit 30+ minutes without a queue.
Maybe there is some kind of bug, it is so weird…
P.S. I am still talking about Heroic Dungeons, not leveling.
Are you queing for specific dungeons? Random dungeons as dps was 5-6 min for me yesterday and today. Tried running a couple of specific dungeon queues and had 2-3x the queue time.
If not I would say bug.
