What can be done about M+ queue simulator?

Jump on my main, queue for +15s, get denied for 20mins, quit

Jump on my alt, queue for +12s, get denied for 20mins, quit

Obviously someone will say play tank or healer, and I’m ahead of you, I do have a tank alt, but I today I wanted to DPS - tough luck for me it seems.

Closing in on an hour of queueing soon, wondering when I’ll actually be able to play the game. Tomorrow I guess?

Any reasonable solutions to this problem for solo players? I know that premades solve everything, but my IRL schedule is so hectic that having a premade group is out of the question.

Recently Naguura also mentioned that one of her pet peeves with WoW is also having to play queue simulator, and even mentioned that other game as a potential solution for m+ players…

It’s all supply and demand, a lot of people want to DPS, not a lot of people want to tank/heal. Nothing blizzard can do about it really. Want to play fast and don’t care about what role? Great, heal or tank, but if you want to only ever DPS then you just have to nut up and wait in line like the other billion people before you.

Only reasonable solution is to give charge to uda as head of wow development team .

One can dream to break the line from the DPS queue and join the front of DPS queue :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

If you don’t like to queue for M+ then you only play healer or tank, or you play dps 2 or 3 notches below what you can do and get insta-invited as dps.

Give every class the ability to tank and heal. I don’t mind tanking, but hate most class fantasies. Or at least let me progress with my main by tanking on an alt.

Without changing the game itself, unfortunately either foregoing the idea of playing dps or simply joining a community so that you can find players more easily; there’s simply no other way.

If we can suggest how the game should change to help with this, every suggestion we have thrown has been met with criticism from others who would not like to see the game take that direction:

  • Entirely abolish the concept of tanking and healing and have only damage-dealers
  • Increase party size to 6man by adding 1 extra damage dealer per group
  • Call-To-Arms rewards for completing a M+ run with an underrepresented specialization
  • Remove mechanics from tanks and healers so that more people will be inclined to play as
  • Entirely remove M+ and raids and have only Mage-tower-type content
  • and other suggestions I don’t remember

…Fortnite?

The same as always .

Find a guild.

I honesrly dont understand masochists who try to push hardcore content solo.

+15 never were meant to be pug content.

Also if you cannot Get into 12 ? IT just means you have to low gear / score and try to jump over score brackets rather then progress 10s then 11s .

As much as Uda has valuable input, that’d be disastrous.

They can start by fixing the utilities (pretty low hanging fruit):

  • 1 slot should have CR
  • 1 slot should have BL
  • 1 Slot should have [something depending on the dungeon, e.g. a grip]

The DPS spots get limited really quickly.

Inbefore “solo que is bad, and the problem is you comments.”

Hmm not the worst forum poster but far from the best idea wise

Probably Fellowship, that’s basically just a m+ mode game.

You don’t need to explain this stuff to me. I already said my schedule does not allow me to group up with friends as I never know when I’ll be able to play.

And yes, I can get into +12s on the alt - I’ve done all +12s but Dawn, but still I was not able to get a single invite in 20+ minutes of queuing exclusively into Dawn. It’s not my rating nor my gear, it’s just DPS oversaturation as always.

What my point is - the queue issue might end up being a dealbreaker for me. If I’m able to set 90 minutes for gaming in the evening, and from that I spend 60 in queue, then I guess the question is what’s the point? I love M+ as a mode, but at some point it becomes a totally absurd time sink just to get a single run in.

I dont agree with every Uda’s opinion but I can at least discuss and debate with him using logic and arguments.
He is is leagues better than your average pro soloQ “SoloQ is good. SoloQ is God, SoloQ will stop world wars and end world huger. Believe in SoloQ! U stuped if you don’t!” cultists.
Have fun discussing anything with them. :rofl:

This is simply what made me uninstall war within in season.

The waiting is not fun.

Plenty of other games that just let’s me play

15

I checked a bit of it out. It looks like it’s gacha…?

16

It’s this one: Fellowship | Multiplayer Online Dungeon Adventure | Endlessly Scaling Dungeons for Four Players

I haven’t played it myself, so no clue how it works.

17

Ok, so Fellowship will have tanks, healers and damage dealers, and yet groups will only be 4man? This is even worse than M+!

Seems like this season is dead already - same recycled dungeons from TWW and a couple of old SL ones which are meh imo. Also this season is kinda pointless because all the gear will be replaced in Midnight anyway.

Can queue into single player games and insta play, or otherwise League, BF6, OW2, or anything else.

To not pug, being with your own group be they guildies, friends, community group, whatever… and instantly starting them for numerous runs from there.

If you want to strictly solo play healer or tank so you’re not competing against a gazillion other DPS applying to the same group…

Make tanking and healing (two of the least played roles) more appealing.
