There is one freaking easy solution:

Help Lancer with his quests, ie. duo with him/her while leveling. Interact, be nice, not some tard dps that just zooms forward. I am sure that from 5-6 you meet while doing so, at least one will become your friend and you get pocket tank in return.

I have ranged DPS in guild, he was standing next to me, and chatting in guild channel while we both solo killed same mobs for same quest. It was first hub in area. So like best possible scenario that happened randomly. I asked in guild chat if anybody want to team with me, he ignored this. We both could benefit from teaming, he probably tiny bit, but i would get double speed at least. Well now i am waiting for him and me to hit 60 and as me for tanking. Guess what will be my reply.

the only REAL solution to this problem is a social one wherein people just pay a lancer to run groups with you instead of queueing.

.


?

A joke?


Not at all. I'm a lancer and I almost only do guild/friend groups these days, but if I were a DPS I wouldn't hesitate to pay a lancer to try to get instant queues instead of waiting 1-2 hours.

I wouldn't hold it against him. I'm a priest (slow solo leveling), but I prefer to do the solo quests alone. I take random 5 min breaks, run off harvesting for a few minutes at a time, stop paying attention randomly, etc.

Some people just enjoy slowly grinding out the solo quests.

However, I've got a tank I run BAM quests with. I've probably done the last 3 or 4 areas with him. The first area was random, but now we coordinate with each other and it's quite fun.

My point being, some people play differently, don't hold it against your guildy because he didn't want to solo quest with you. Now if he never helps, that's a different story of course.

How is EME supposed to fix queue times. They are a result from what the classes and actions of the playerbase. They only thing they could do is allow warriors to queue as tanks, and that may alleviate the queue times it does open to the door to a lot of other problems.

If you want to fix the queue times, make a lancer.
If you want to get rid of the queue times, join a larger size guild.
If you want to get rid of the queue times, start making friends on your server.

There is no real solution to this problem.

Instance queing can be frustrating especially at higher levels.

However it is an option not a requirement. It was implemented so we could get groups easier instead of spamming the are/lfg chat channels and begging for one. That being said when you do queue there is a check box at the bottom willing to lead party. If you check that you have a higher change to receive party master once the queue does start. You can't stop people from leaving group or afking or kicking other people. Thats not something the game can control.

I agree the lock out timer should not kick in till you down the first boss.

Overall i've seen queue times decrease since server start. I've even gotten instaques as dps. The only thing i see that needs to be adjusted is the lock out timer and have it based off when the first dungeon boss is downed.

Make warrior's be able to tank and than maybe all the lancers will stop being so cocky forcing people to be kicked.

Nope, you'll just get a lot of bad tanks. Look how many bad lancers there are and it's one of the easiest classes to play. What will happen when people have access to a tanking class that really takes skill?

Many of the posters thus far have put forth solutions that mainly target jerk-lancers, while not acknowledging that other classes can be jerks too. Having a general cooldown punishes the people who get kicked for bad reasons as well as those who get kicked for good reasons. There are bad healers, and DPS who don't show up for instances when their instance procs. These people deserve penalties as well.

The problem can be fixed with coding, but if I understand how things work in this game (I probably don't), then kTera has to test new mechanics out before naTera gets them. Do Koreans have this sort of problem with their players? If not, then we may be looking at a long wait for a true solution.

Pretty much. Although, I did have to wait like 5 minutes for SM yesterday morning on my lancer, and that was while grouped with a healer.

A lot of people won't want to group with warrior tanks, but at least it will be their decision. I don't think I've had a single run without a warrior along, so there are a lot of warriors. Some of are them are jonesing to tank, and want to learn how, given the chance.

If warriors could tank, you'd also end up with only people who really enjoy playing lancer playing lancers and not the ones who are only on a lancer to get easy groups.

Few possible suggestions....

>When a party is formed via Instance Queue for a dungeon, the leader is unable to kick people.

>If a player leaves the party BEFORE the dungeon has started, they get no penalty, but if they leave after the dungeon has been activated, they obtain a 2 hour debuff, instead of the 15m debuff.

>Allow Warriors to queue as tanks. Been stated quite a few times, only real issue is some don't like warrior tanks, and may just RQ when they see a warrior tank.

>Bare with me on this.... remove the instance queue system, and make the current LFG system cross server and give it more utility, like a tab for groups looking for BAMs, one for dungeons, etc, and then the ability to only accept just Healing/Tank/DPS classes
