Duty Finder NEEDS to pop up in Windows when it's ready.

It really needs to, I have missed so many Duties due to this...
I mean, who is going to stay 20 minutes in final fantasy just waiting for the Duty finder to find a party? Sure I could be leveling another class or chilling with other people, but I don't really want to.
There is also an option that lets me hear in-game sound while I am browsing the internet, but that's not good since I am listening to music the whole time I just can't bother to have in-game sounds interrupting that.

Atleast make duty finder pop-ups an option or something, I understand some people wouldn't want it.

Please do it.
Thank you.

P.S: Almost missed a duty finder group while writing this :P

the df pop sound lasts about half a second

you must really like music if you're willing to waste a que because you don't want to listen to it

Well the problem is I don't want to hear the in-game sounds until the DF finds a group. Do you know where the DF sound comes from? I could mute all the other sounds and just leave the ping one.


Still a Pop-up would be super helpful.

Pro-Tip: Buy a second monitor. :D

Just put the game in a window while you wait.

This. This a billion times. I have FFXIV running on my second screen and I chat and do everything else on my other screen. Extremely useful to have two, no matter what.

should be the "system sound" button. You can test if you have a lv15 tank anyway.

the loud, almost obnoxious SHIIIIIIING sound isn't clear enough? do you have FF muted or something?

Isn't there an option to have action sounds play while "windowed" or something. That might help. Not positive though. Can anyone clarify?

No. It would create additional bloat for a feature that you want because you don't like any of the currently available solutions. You deserve to miss the queues.

I just open my browser and move it a little bit so I can see the "commence window" when it pops up.

actually, it's not playing it when it's windowed, but you CAN have it play sound when the window isn't in focus, it's right there in the settings, that would accomplish what you are looking for

System Configuration, Sound Settings, Play sounds when window is not active.

SO you want to be able to start the game, start your queue, then do something else?

In that case:
Dear Yoshi P,
I find it so hard to play this game because I'm expected to push buttons and stuff, and that's hard. Can we get a feature to have the game play itself for me?

Jokes aside, I have a second monitor so I can leave it up, but really, I just use the queue time to go do things in game (like the Atma)

I'm the same - I use the queue time to level my Disciple of Land/Hand classes, and complete my Daily Quests.

Guys, this is a GOOD idea. Why are so many people shooting it down? The queue system is annoying enough as it is, it sucks that you have to constantly keep checking to make sure you don't miss it while you have another window open. The only way is to leave ingame sound on, which should not be required.

Just a simple little bubble coming from the little icon on the bottom right taskbar saying "Your queue is up!" would be good.

They're shooting it down because it's not needed? How about you try playing the game instead of asking for pointless changes and additions. I highly doubt that you or the OP have absolutely nothing to do in game to keep you occupied while you're waiting for a queue to pop.

They down it because the game already has the tools to do so.

"Play sound when windows is inactive" and "system sound on" while all others are off. Tadaaa~ you can now do something else, and the DF pop will be clear enough

oh yeah and you'll have absolutely no other sounds, except maybe a 90k and a mog post mail.
