Just recently, I have been running FC squads leveling my alts. My seeker in particular. If my memory serves, a full 90's squad usually completes a run within 20-40 minutes.
At least that is what I remember.
But nowadays, it seems every run takes over 1.5 hour with multiple squad wipes, half the squad afk, etc.

So my question is what is the usual run time for a 90's FC run?

    In my experience, 100+ squads do it in 20-30 minutes. Whereas 90 squads do it closer to 30-40 minutes. I'm not sure why it taking you an hour and a half but even 50 minutes isn't outside the norm. I think too many people think its okay to afk in the middle of an instance nowadays.

    are we talking about full or half runs?

    for half, 1.5h is way too long for 90+ (heck, i wouldnt say it's normal for 80+ either)
    for full, is kinda slow too.

    those are just random fail runs, none of the FCs ive done on my 9x barb have taken more than 30-40 min w/ half decent ppl.

    90+ FC should NOT take over 40 mins.

    I feel free to guess (based on personal experience, ofc):
    -Slow progressing runs might be the result of weak weapons, or ineffective skill combos less experienced peeps might be doing. b:angry
    -Squad wipes could be partially explained by skills. Other thing would be armors or lame overall defenses. b:surrender
    -AFK in an instance has been an unwritten rule for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately, newcomers do their best to make it obsolete by all (rude) means necessary. b:sad

    All of those are quite common these days actually, and I don't think it's going to change to better any time soon.

    But don't you, as a seeker, get to be pickly when it comes to choosing a squad you will be tanking/pulling the run for? b:laugh
