30 minutes in, I finally had one pop for me (fastest/only so far) but someone declined, instead of putting me at the front of the line, it seems to have kicked me right to the back since its now been another 20 minutes with nothing. (currently says average wait time is 4 minutes)
Been 3 hours for me and it popped literally as Iām typing this. Something is absolutely wrong here.

This definitely seems to be the cause. I just tested on two characters one on Chormie time one not and the chormie was crazy long I didnāt wait where as the one not on Chormie time was less than a min. I should add both were dps.
Edit: I wanted to add this as well. When you enter Chormie time it seems you are in a separate queue that is only in your ātimeā. I know this because when I have queued I have gotten a message asking if I wanted to expand my search to include other times. So my best guess is players on Chormie time are in these queues but because it is a holiday dungeon it never gets the expand search. I would also think it should just default to expanded from the start.
I think I see the problem. Whenever I do actually manage to get in itās pretty much entirely made up of people from the same realm as me. And since my realm is dead af it takes 3 hours, while for others who arenāt so dead it takes 30 minutes or even 5.
I feel like that must be a factor. I queued as dps at 46 or 47 today while leveling through MoP. 6 minute average queue time and it popped in 3 tops.
Time in queue 30 minutes, average wait time 4.

Now that you mention it, they were always my realm too.

Youāre probably right. In Chromie Time youāre only being put in group with others in CT. My que times were all 4 minutes if that.
I hadnāt even thought about Chromie time. But all my toons are max, so I canāt hop in to queue, I guess.
I sure do hope they add in more convoluted systems in the extra time they have with the Shadowlands extension. Donāt bother balancing or fixing what we have now, just keep adding more.
I got in on an alt in 5 minutes and once again everyone but the tank was from my realm and the 3 others from my realm were grouped together. Itās a very rare occurrence to see other people from my realm more than once in 50 dungeons.
I havenāt been in game since I originally ran Headless Horseman on my lvl 50 characters.
So Iām gonna assume Iāll have to visit chromie again to turn her experience off
Pretty sure Chromie time is the problem, at least for those taking part in the levelling process.
My other DPS not in Chromie time get in fairly fastā¦ my levelling toon has waiting 30+ mins twice and I gave up.
See, i have like 15 level 50 dps, none of which who have ever used chromie time because they were capped before the patch - some get in quickly after 2 or 3 minutes, other are in queue for an hour+. Something is afoot here but iām not sold on it being chromie time.

yea its buggy. some queue 5-15min then you get the 20-30 min with average time 4min.
if youāre are in the queue longer than the estimated time, just leave and re-queue.

At 50 minutes of doing this on my mage. Doesnāt seem to help. Likely just stopping me from getting in.
Wow. Itās been all day whereās a blue post?
Just tried it again, dh had 50 mins, rogue right after had 4.
Something is seriously messed up and Iāve yet to pinpoint it. Itās not chromie time like the others believe, or atleast not directly. All of my dps were capped before this patch.
As someone who grind this mount for YEARS, I do mean years, like 7+ with no less than 18 alts, best way to do it, right at resets, you can run an army of alts in less than an hour.
Hi Chriarcy, while that is good advice, this is an actual broken issue.
Some dps characters get 5 min queues, some get hour+ ones (even if they queue at the same time). Its almost as if thereās 2 lines with one group getting in considerably quicker than the other.
