death bug? party died, healer can't release?

was in a light party doing

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/w...Temple_of_Qarn

white mage here, and I've done this dungeon a few times no problem. Today was in a group that didn't know the mechanics and we eventually all died on the terrible first boss cause folks didn't understand the debuff mechanic. the problem is that I couldn't release and was stuck in combat, with combat music. the group ran back, started fighting the boss again, I got a res and started playing and then it seems the debuff (and tile floor light up) mechanic was out of synch. died again. same problem.

finally exited the game because I couldn't release.

Is this as designed, or did I encounter just a terrible bug in the game?

Thanks for any light you can shed here. I was terribly frustrated by the situation.

Did you hold down the button to release? When the prompt to return to the start of a Duty appears, you have to hold down the button to return for a few seconds.

oh boy.. I've had a long day. no I did not. I'm a wow refugee, and I'm use to click to release. you are right, my mistake.

I will say though the floor tiles lighting up on doom seemed out of wack. I'm going to chalk this all up to 4 hours sleep and a long week.

Thanks for reply.

That's okay. It used to be one click release, but they changed that a while ago (maybe around the start of Stormblood - can't remember). Too many people clicking too fast and releasing instead of accepting a fast Raise.

As for the floors, they change after a few seconds. It could be that you got a bad server tick (server tick is 3 seconds in this game), and your Doom wasn't cleansed. One of the downsides of having mechanics server-side.
