DF 15min lockout at 40mins?

Had to leave a party earlier and got the 15min lockout..

Ran around doing errands..

40mins later I check and still have 1min left on the lockout.. can someone please explain this to me?

If you ever switch zones (via teleport) it resets the timer to 15 minutes. It sucks and has been reported in the past. Hopefully it gets fixed with 2.1.

Were you on a DoL/DoH class? I don't think the timer counts down unless you're on a DoW/DoM class. That includes while logged out. I logged out as a miner once with a 13 minute timer, and logged in about 18 hours later with the timer still there.

You are correct, it does not count down when you are on a class that is not a war or magic based class -.-.

Timer seems to stop if you go afk to. I had 15 minutes lockout, went afk for well over an hour, came back and it was on 14 minutes.

Not even that. I once left an instance as a BLM, switched to WAR and the time wasn't counting down. You have to stay on the class you left the DF with it seems, unless I was hit by the reset bug Noahlimits mentioned.

Though I agree with penalty for leaving a DF group to prevent people from abusing it. However, I think this should only apply with in the first 20-30 min of the group. There are many instance were your grp just isn't going to go anywhere and no one want to be the first person to leave due to the 15 min penalty. Maybe there should be an option were the party can disband or someone is able to leave without a penalty.

Yeah, class doesn't matter. I've had it count down, regardless of which class/job I was on. As Noahlimits mentioned however, teleporting to a different zone will reset it. Sometimes even changing zones normally will as well. But for certain, teleports will.

this is exactly why i left.. i DF'd Brayflox, 5th job in there, just wanted some fun and gear.. brand spanking new party.. died 8 times to first boss but i gave them all my patience.. 60mins later we were on the second boss and they were failing there too (was dps not much i could do to help) and there was a language barrier so i couldnt even give tips to the healer and tank.. so after 60mins of patience i finally said in auto translate.. i'm sorry, i had fun, goodbye
