How can Blizzard decrease queue times for LFR. I’m getting rejected from every Normal raid so I’m left with queuing for LFR. These wait times are taking FOREEEEVER, though. Do they need to increase the rewards? Or maybe funnel everyone into LFR for remix?
And, yes, I’m aware you can start your own group and wait for it to fill up. That’s not LFR. I want to set it and forget it while I’m doing other things waiting for LFR.

Maybe they could pick a tier every day to have buffed rewards. With so many wings to choose from the queues are pretty crazy yeah.

Yeah i’m honestly about ready to hop off of MoP remix
unless you were one of the exclusive special frog farmers you won’t get accepted into anything. And like you said queue times are way out of line.
really can’t believe Blizzard is gonna ruin their entire project just cause some sweaties will get mad that if you take away their bronze.

My secret is to queue for as many as possible at one time. Sure, the first queue might take awhile but they’ll be mostly instant for everyone after that.
Also, I would definitely sign up to tank if they offered those sweet bonus bags in Remix.
Lastly, Ive been doing at least 3 normal raids a day since launch and I still haven’t seen anyone check a cloak or even care about ilvl really. You just have to be persistent

Pretty much.
It’s funny because the Awakened formula is right there, too. Just rotate them on a daily basis and people will funnel into those. The others can still be available for the extra Threads or w/e.

Only way to decrease Q times, is decrease the amount of people doing it, since everyone is doing it specially dps, theres a million dps in Q you ill wait a long time for your turn

I queue up on my paladin for all three roles and it seems like I’m always picked to heal.
But when I’m in the raid no one takes damage because of tinker gems and leech. It’s very boring.
This is probably the cause of the long queues.

Just have it be flex content like scenarios.
People are willing to heal, just not in pug content.

If you can tank, do it. With lower level characters in the raid you’ll steamroll everything and not really need to worry about mechanics.

To reiterate my last post, which I made before even doing my first LFR (did a bunch since then), people sure weren’t kidding when they said LFR just melts, holy crap.
And it’s not even like most of them had any froggers. Half of them I was by far the strongest 70 present (fury warrior at 1.5 million health) when half the raid was 70 at 300-600k health, with the other half a mixture of 30-50s. We cleared Mogu’shan Vaults 1 in under 10 minutes.
I’d heard it was a lolfest. I didn’t realize it was this much of one.
In Remix LFR, dungeons and scenarios healing doesn’t even need to happen half the time.

Yep. I found that out too. lol
everyone has leech and some people have tinker runes that passively heal. I imagine healers might not even be a needed role in this game mode if people’s cloaks are good enough.

If you could unlock the neck from lfr it would probably shorten the queues a ton.
they need to make LFRs bigger. 2 tanks, 4 healers 34 dps would greatly shorten the queues.
I’m already at the point where my self healing can keep me topped off. A global cooldown capped Bloodthirst and 30% leech (and climbing) will do that. I’m roughly at the point where I can solo regular dungeon trash, and that’s with another 10 tiers of gear upgrades to go…
IMO the overpowered fun we were promised is indeed here, it’s just not as front loaded as we assumed.

Honestly, it’s not even the cloak that helps as much as people believe. Upgrade the gear, get legendary prismatics and that’s where you see a lot of the stats. Add that to the right combo of tinkers and it gets really fun.
Yeah I’m noticing that now.
Yeah, the cloak is more of a little appetizer on the side while you grind bronze for the real upgrades. My gear is at 24/34 with six legendary gems in the upgradeable slots, and those two alone add up to more stamina than my cloak is giving. Upgrading gear is going to pull far ahead of the cloak.
(That said the cloak is still a good source of secondary stats. My gems are all haste/mastery, but the cloak is still giving me a healthy amount of leech and versatility.)
Also in a few hours yesterday I managed to scratch together enough bronze for a full upgrade tier. That was through the three dailies, a random dungeon and heroic dungeon, scenario and heroic scenario, and full LFR MSV, HoF and ToES, with some grinding in between.
If that’s accurate, it shouldn’t take much more than another two weeks to max out my gear. Leaving me tons of time to get the cosmetics. The sky isn’t falling.
