Current Frustration with how the Raid Party Finder Works

[kindred void]

This is how I perceive what may be happening so it might be true or not and I may not know everything how the queue actually works.

So you know how if there is not enough people in the region or you are taking too long in a queue in the raid party finder, the party finder expands region automatically without any prompt?

As an AS player, I find it really annoying as sometimes I don't have any time to get out of the queue before getting kidnapped to an NA party with 300+ ping or cancel and risk getting blocked from the queue if done too many times. I feel like this even made the issue where there is barely any AS raid parties worse as the party finder tends to kidnap them to EU or NA parties.

I know the party finder search expanding region is seen as generally a positive thing as it helps AS/EU players get into a raid faster but I'm like "damn, Id pay to never get queue to NA". EU even is tolerable for me but the party finder never expands the search to EU so I just despise it.

my honest reaction to this post:

[kindred void]

I honestly hope there is just a way to customize which region queues you can get into in the future because I am fine with either going AS or EU

there was also this time i got sent to asia when i queued na 🔥

skip to end to see when i realize im in asia

yea idk its crazy that regions have been a thing for a while now and this isnt a thing 🥀

i think we should also bring back having to give runes to the random party leader to start the raid it would be cool and intuitive i think

It would be nice if there was a toggle on which regions you'd like to raid in.
Like if you can only raid in AS regions due to bad internet, then you'll only get partied on AS servers even if it would take longer.
If someone else has great ping, they can toggle all 3 from the very start and get into a raid even quicker.

yeah this just happened to me today without any "region expands message"

aswell

[jade wigeon]

maybe all the NA servers are occupied? AS servers a while ago also used to send people to NA servers when they get a party to raid

[jade wigeon]

actively canceling the queue when it expands, sometimes it's instant so I have to deny queue

also I can't just simply play with higher ping, sometimes the connection gets so bad I cannot connect to NA servers without getting timed out

and pretty sure this is not a bandwidth issue or something because I can watch video or post ss just fine, some other guild member were experiencing similar issue too

getting good na connection from as is rarer than getting 2 shinies from the same chest roll

[grim rain]

they aint doing shit lol

We are temporarily disabling Party Finder for Raids as it has been in a bad state for quite a while, and cannot be fixed without a complete overhaul of the system. It will be re-enabled once Fruma releases. We apologize for the inconvenience.

[plucky willow]

Agree

[lean plover]

This happens when all servers are full or restarting
