honestly i just requeue after about 10 mins if it doesnt pop.
Brewfest really wasn’t updated and nobody cares about it. People didn’t care about the protodrake glyph because no one likes the protodrake. People actually want the glyph for the velocidrake.
Queues are still instant for healers and tanks, so it is not a lack of people doing the boss.
cool story bro, not true. I have 23 toons. all my dps had 30+ min queues. All my healers q’ed as healer/dps got in in 1 minutes. Tanks same.
Your story is not true.
What IS true, more likely, is that your heal/dps classes you q"ed as dps ONLY and had 30 min queue times.
So, YES, it absolutely IS about dps having long queues.
People absolutely did care about brewfest. Dps queues were about 2-10 minutes and many people here were posting about running out on 10+ alts a day
You’re also ignoring all the posts where people say they had 2min dps queues moments after experiencing 50min queues. We had this same issue pre launch with uldamun queues prioritising those with a quest and constantly upping place in queue for those without, so this seems a much more likely scenario than a magnitude of dps players returning for a cosmetic for one of the least used drakes
The reading comprehension here is atrocious.
There most certainly is some odd technical discrepancy with queue times.
I found it was taking longer on this character versus on my alt.
15 min wait with a 5 minute estimation - I swap, and it only took 3 minutes. More than once.
It took even longer when queuing up with a friend.
DPS though we may be, there has been something off about it, and I have seen it happen before with other queues in the past.
Not to mention, the events are buggy this year in general.
E.g. The first time I tried to do the Undercity stinkbombing, I was suddenly disconnected, then reconnected dead in the Westfall graveyard with several other people in the same boat.
I’m not so sure why it is difficult to believe there may simply be issues with these things.

If it’s prioritizing people with the quest and not those without it, then it must only prioritize DPS players and not tanks or healers, who still have fast queues. And even that isn’t necessarily the case because on the first day I had a few DPS characters who got in within about 10 minutes, and my other DPS later in the day had 30-40 minute queues.
That would be the protodrake.
Well yeah it would still prioritise tanks and healers as it still needs to form groups for the high amount of dps players we have. I’m just saying we didn’t suddenly gain a half a million subs back just for one little holiday event.
If the stories are true and people are experiencing irregularities in wait times within the same role then there could definitely be something going on in the background, as has happened before. I’m just saying it’s more likely than suddenly gaining a huge amount of dps players in under a month
On Oceanic, I haven’t seen anything that would make me think there is something weird going on, technically speaking. At most, my dps queues are around 9 minutes and that’s generally in a very slow time of day. In busier times its about 5-6m. (Naturally, tank/healer times are much quicker.)
same problem but it seemed to be server specific. low pop server had 30 minute headless horseman queue but 3 minute normal queue. high pop server had 3 minute for both headless and normal.
Because people are jackholes to tanks, so I havent tried since Cata, myself
Could I borrow one of them next?

As sad as it is best bet is always try to queue right at reset if you can.

Mi hoy minoy!
Noticing some weirdness also. I have one DPS in particular that has nearly 30 minute waits every time. Switch to a different DPS on same realm even, few minute wait. Doesn’t make sense.

You should have queued with him, LOL… WTH.
I have never had more than a 2 minute queue, but always go tank or heal if possible.
It’s impressive that someone with 1500 achievement points claims they have 23 toons and is also trying to claim other people are lying.

It’s even more impressive that you think people can’t afford numerous accounts.
Yeah this is clearly a queue issue. On my warrior as dps, it takes maybe 3-4 minutes for the queue to pop. I go on my DH and im waiting for over 25 minutes and even then I end up just logging off and trying another character. My rogue is the same as the warrior, only 3-4 minutes. And then my DK is the same situation at the DH. There is clearly an issue and this has not happened in the past so anyone saying “get good and que as tank/heals” can kick rocks lmao

If we’re asking for things to get fixed, can we get the fire event fixed too? The one where we have to put out the fires in the town while the Horseman laughs at us?
It’s so incredibly painful Horde side… the buildings are hard to throw buckets at because of the stuff on them, the timer isn’t long enough and the fire spreads way too fast.
I had five people hitting the same two spots of fire and it was spreading faster than we could put it out. Then, even if you wanted to throw buckets at the fire your cursor would go all over the place because the terrible aoe targeting system on uneven surfaces.
Tried the event three times and failed three times… incredible.
And, I’m seeing posts about this that date back years, so, good job Blizzard.
I’m watching group after group after group fail this event, fix it.
Two more failed attempts, Blizzard, what are you doing?

I’ve noticed, oddly, that it seems to mostly impact the same characters each time it appears to ‘glitch’. Character before that, fine. Character after, also fine. But the same couple characters are getting stuck with 30 min to an hour queues no matter what the timer says. Very strange.
