To the people who vote dismissed me for "offline"

It's okay.

My ISP decided to have a brain fart and disconnected my alt character (Anzu Waterkeeper) from Tamtara during the first boss. I managed to get back on twice, getting re-kicked each time.

The third time I logged in, a vote-dismiss had already been commenced for "offline" and I was booted from the dungeon.

If you were in that party, please do not feel bad! I was going to suggest it anyway.

I am not upset at you, just at my ISP.

Ok.

iz disappointed OP

lol I think this happens to many people every day.... errrrrrrr...

I know the feeling! I've been kicked out of the game multiple times before due to internet connection problems and it is frustrating, don't think I've ever been kicked from a dungeon for it before but I do remember one instance I ran with a friend a few months ago where my friend suddenly dc'd from the game shortly into the run. He was still on ts at the time and was trying to log back in before they kicked him. I told the rest of the party the situation and they were cool about it but for some reason he could never log in and eventually gave up so at that point I told them it was okay to kick him. I felt bad that they waited so long, but I really appreciated that they were willing to wait it out and give him a chance.

Good to know

I've been really surprised a few times to still be in a party after quite a long offline break (looking at you "already logged in" >.< )

Like for your sig! Testify

Whenever I have lag spikes, or it's storming out, I let the party know I may DC and I will come back but in the case of storms, I tell them my power may go out. So may as well vote me out because I'm not coming back lol.

Not to belittle the original post but this seems alot like an attempt to fish out the members of that party. I mean, I've not been kicked from a party often but I never once felt the need to post about it on the forums, it's just not that big a deal. If they really weren't that bothered, why the need to post about it here?

It's called being considerate.

Because when I logged in just before getting vote dismissed they all gasped and went "omg no" and "we're so sorry" but before I could say it was fine, I was booted from the dungeon. These forums are pretty much the only place enough XIV players visit where I might have a .000001% chance of reaching one of them.

That, and I'm tired of all the negative rants that appear on these pages and I wanted to post something a little less hateful for once.

I wait 5 mins to allow them to get back online. If it's a damage dealer then maybe until the boss. Although if you're constantly dcing it's fair enough.

Happened to me this morning. It wasn't a dc but more a brain DC. I moved the power cord from the socket with the chair when I moved it. I really should stop doing that. Fortunately the group waited for me to get back on.

Hate when this happens to me.Last week i was kicked off the game two games in 1 hour lol.

Living in Florida, I always expect to be kicked out of groups the moment a surprise power outage occurs.

Surprisingly, haven't been kicked out of many groups, since I manage to get back on relatively quick.

I was in a party about an hour or so ago where the tank disconnected, and got vote dismissed. I clicked this thread wondering if that tank made it and raged, lol.

See i had the exact opposite. Had internet problems, got booted off the game. 15-20 minutes i get back on thinking i would be kicked from the party but they are all still patiently waiting O.o

Maybe have your PC and router on a low capacity (cheap) UPS so at least you wont DC immediately.
