New DF Punishment Timer

[Molly_Millions]

I'm ok with it. I've had far fewer fail groups recently than early on. If I have to leave an instance i'll just do something else for 30 min, no biggy.

Or anyone that doesn't complain about this is a bad player that wants better players to carry them.

Let get this straight up, there a ILVL gear check now, so there wont be FULL AK player in Titan HM, so with a bit of EFFORT, there is no problem at all to carry someone. If the group can't carry 1~2 player with that kind of gear, they are really bad and should start to check about theyself first.

They also added some sort of 'Party Finder' option to the Social List menu. As much as housing prices have burned me this patch, that is an excellent addition to the game. This will allow people to post 'Looking For_____' groups with ilvl recommendation, newcomer welcome/additional comments for various trials and dungeons. Hopefully this will allow people an expedited way of finding groups that are closer to their expectations and avoid some (not all of course) of the random DF trouble of before.

yeah, ok. i'll take your word as experience, lol.

There's always shouting for groups in revenant's. They didn't delete that option. DF is a gamble not a sure thing.

Yeah... Recently the shout groups I've put together were worse than the DF groups I've been a part of.

Ouch.
/10char.


Why longer? I felt 15 was fine, 30 is ok...You still have to wait ages for a party anyways with DF.
You will always get bad players but here's hoping people won't jump ship as much anymore.

Well, those who ragequit over someone that just happens to be new in an instance can't be punished enough, I'd say ban em from the DF if I had my way lol, but sadly I do not. "Terrible groups" are usually terrible because of the "oh so superior" player is more of a hindrance than the people they claim to be terrible.

Only time I see terrible groups are people who don't even try, aka stand in front of Garuda with the tank, or people who are clearly trolling, aka going into WP/AK as a base class.

Hurray for cherry picking!

Did you miss the part where it says there will be a vote to leave the instance where no one will receive a penalty? If things go bad and everyone agrees, you can initiate a /quit.

That only on next patch.

Awesome change I agree with 30 mins. Also the vote to kick will be available too.

[Sub-Xero]

I think that falls in under harrassment.

Which is sad because I feel like I'm being "harassed" by players that are terrible and won't leave even though they continuously die to stupid stuff or can't tank or heal or etc.

One simple solution: Don't use DF if you don't want to get in situations like that.

It'll be easy enough to find a party considering the new party search feature.
