1 strike for missing a duty? >.> Seems Harsh Yoshi

So I noticed today that after missing a duty once, I got locked out to do duties for 30 minutes. I thought there was a 3 strike rule. When did they change this?

Also, this applied when my leader queued us, but someone was on the wrong job, then all of us could not queue back in. >.>

This does not seem right and is more of a nuisance. Did SE have official word on why they did this? How has the community responded to this. Did the community ask for this? It would seem that there are tons of people queuing for things. Why punish so severely SE?

It should still be 3 strikes. Perhaps someone in your group had their 3rd strike and you couldn't queue because of them?

For clarification: when you say "all of us could not queue back in" , do you mean together as a party or individually?

By Missing a Duty, you mean not pressing 'Commence' when a Duty queue pops?
If so, there's still no penalty for that, at least not the first time, I've never done it more than once in any given day though.

If there is a 3 strike rule, maybe one of the party had already had 2 strikes, and the third was applied to the whole party?

Its 30 min lock out regardless of strike count, 3 strikes nets you a days ban from using the que system. Its to stop people constantly leaving dungeons and requing to get better groups hence the 30min lock out timer.

Yes, when you leave a dungeon. But the OP was about missing a queue, not having left a dungeon. For that the three strike system should still be in place.

As i rememeber it is 3. 3 strikes of either running the timer out or hitting cancel when it pops.

Hard to tell without more details. If you got kicked or missed a couple roulettes earlier in the day it might have counted.. not sure. I've never hit the debuff and I've missed a few timers.

You get 30 minute debuff when you leave a duty in progress.
You get a 24 hour debuff when you have accumulated 3 strikes.
Missing a duty queue pop will net you 1 strike.
Missing a duty queue pop in a party (somebody else in your party) will still net you and everybody else in the party a strike.
Accumulated strikes will reset daily.

Should always do ready check before queuing up for dungeons in a party.

Is this really confirmed? I thought only the person who failed to confirm would get the strike.

I would say it's this. It's been a 3-strike system for a long time. You wouldn't be individually locked out from a single withdrawal.
