Switch back to your class (Duty Finder)

If your like fishing or something and the Duty Finder pops up!
Why not just let a player click "accept" doing this will automatically switch back to the class and gear you qued as the dungeon for, that way players don't have to stop.... open a menu change.... see that not everyone was ready.... switch BACK again to wait more.

Make it more automatic. The less work people have to do that isn't needed the better.
If I'm crafting, the que pops up, just let me hit accept, and if everyone is ready, throw me in the instance as my tank.

AGREED

Repairing and Melding should really be like this too...

You can configure a hotkey that changes to your job/class ... That way, when you're gathering/crafting and duty pops, you can just instantly switch.

The more immediate issue is that if you are a differnt class to that of your registration to dutyfinder, and you are doing stuff like fates, it is actually quite hard to switch class's as it does take alot longer to get away from the battle area

Your not the only one, i agree with you

I don't see the problem here...I do stuff on the side while waiting all the time and have no issues switching and getting back to my Que'd JOB. It would be nice to have the choice to just accept though...I like that idea.

Sure of course you can make hotkeys that let you switch.
Think of this more as a convenience To make things simpler.
It would only mean that the duty finder / party finder would be
smart enough to memorize and remember what class (classes)
you registered as without having to worry about switching.
For those times when someone withdraws (trolls) the Crystal Tower que 40 times.

While we're on this subject. I mean I thought they had already done this.
Haven't you noticed when duty finder pops up now when your in another class
it says "current class" and "registed class" ? So I had already assumed the option was there
and I could just click accept or something to auto-switch and it would just throw me
in the instance as my main class.

Why would you open a menu to switch the class? Just use the hotbars

It's a nice QoL change, but I think it'll be harder to implement than you might consider at first.

In changing class, the game would need to decide which of your weapons to equip (If you have mulitple lances for example).

If one of your armory chest slots is @ 25 you will often run into problems changing classes too.

I support this, but it's probably not as easy as it seems.

They can just use the set you had equipped when you queued. And the inventory space can be fixed, if anything if you dont have room in armory/bags then just throw an error and prompt you to do it manually.

Anyway. The crafting part is not great cause it could cancel a difficult synth or one where mats are expensive, or just simply not worth losing over a such silly timing.

Agreed that this needs some workaround. :D
