Players connot join the party while you are engaged in combat

[Peregrine]

You're telling me you have enough promise for XIV's future that people will be willing, as the system stands, to physically unplug their connection, or just flat out close the game for a d/c.

You might need it spelling out for you.

You cannot just /logoff like in XI. The system to force d/c, and turn such challenging battles into walk overs is not pragmatic, at all.



It would have to be a very elaborate cycling of members. And since like people are saying, we're heading for instanced battles, reinvinting would be nice for then atleast....

There is no issue with simply allowing /pcmd while in combat. The only features it truly adds is being able to recover d/c'd members. And to be able to reach max party limit - Something which the content is designed around.

Again, how stupid do you think the developers are? Clearly pretty stupid.
Alt tab gets you out of the party in fulscreen.
Hitting the x button at the top right of the windowed screen gets you out of the party.

This is "harder" than logging off how exactly? Let's hear THIS one lol...
