Satchels are so flawed - tried to get one

“Healer” satchel was offered for a Heroic dungeon. Okay, I queue.

10 mins later, still in queue, have no tank.

Yet tanks aren’t offered a satchel

What is this logic?

I left queue and logged out, wasn’t worth it if I have to wait that long.

Dungeon queue times aren’t too bad. Try playing solo shuffle as a DPS class lol

Feels like you can sit in queue from maintenance to maintenance if you wanted. Just never goes.

Basically when the satchel is offered for example healer, many ppl like you jump the bandwagon then number of healers in queue suddenly overshadows the number of tanks . Since you queued with satchel the game will provide you the satchel even if there are excess healers .

This is due to lack of healer, I always get in like 2-3 minutes as healer + 50% increase in Hk :sunglasses:

I’ve geared 4 healers in RSS, it’s frustrating that this is the only option. During 9.2.5 the solo shuffle queue worked great for all specs because it wasn’t limited to healer matches.

I agree with OP that satchel is broken…but for this reason: I que as tank for a quick satchel run- 15 minutes later my que pops up. 15 MINUTES! as tank

I then que as tank with no satchel reward, 15 SECONDS my que pops.

I know some more tanks que for satchel, but the disparity is way to obvious.

Honestly…thats exactly how I would expect it to work.

This has happened to me lately as well. I even left my satchel-reward Tank queue after 15 minutes and the bonus was still being offered so I re-queued and it took another 20 minutes for the dungeon to pop.

Since 10.0.7 I’ve even nabbed 3 satchels as DPS spec!

Someone speculated that everyone is gearing up alts in the new zone since the rewards are so much better than dungeons, so not many people are queuing.

They add extra time for the satchel!

i got several sachels as DPS.

you should play the game while waiting.

I have been farming augments for the last week or so, up to 7 stacks currently. I just watch tv while waiting for queue, when it pops I run the dungeon and collect my aug and repeat. As a class that can tank heal and dps there is always a CTA available, its wonderful. Paid for my sub in less than a week doing 12 minute dungeons every 30 minutes.

Queuing with tanks was a trash system. Thank god it’s been removed.

Heroics are completly abandoned atm when you can get full 359 item level gear after a few rares in forbidden reach. Its so deserted even dps roles get satchels often

time to ask again the question I asked at expansion release: Do we still need the 5man heroic difficulty for anything?
