Stiffer Penalties for those leaving dungeons!!

[KingOfAbyss]

As has been mentioned in other threads about this same topic... all we will see is "a party member has withdrawn" over and over and over... while people fish for in progress dungeons.

For real, I feel you.. It's sad to see someone leaving us.. we have to wait for a replacement.. meanwhile yes, the one leaving should get a penalty of 24 hours without being able to log in the game.

Satisfied much? ^^ (Hope Yoshi will read this )

[KingOfAbyss]

This is just as wrong as asking for an increase in penalty. This can be abused so damn much. Players can vote kick someone right before the last boss, Or someone could DC before the last boss and not make it back, I'm also against this as well.

*speed runner much? ^^

I hate speed runs: MMOs is not about not talking, not enjoying, burning content and then getting bored/leave the game. They give you 90mins to complete? You choose to get in, enjoy the scenery.

**For sure they'll have to brainstorm this..

At least part of a problem lies in strange RNG. When i sign for low DR and its Tam-Tara for the 6th time in a row... penalties be damned, i'm out.

Well I had a situation where there where constant wipes before we even got to the first boss in Sirius (I was tanking, healer wasn't healing) None of the other 3 spoke english either. Or refused to acknowldge anything. So after we wiped on the first boss. (This was around the 4-5th wipe). So I left.

Am I supposed to wipe over and over, based on what happened upto first boss, till my armor breaks and to run out of time anyway? With no way to explain mechanics? Suffering 90 minutes of frustration, or 30 mins of fishing or crafting?

I'm sorry but that would be crazy. Some parties you get in DF are just hopeless. There's no need to be stuck in there for 90 mins banging your head against the wall.

I have seen people vote abandon after one wipe in CT. And that's just ridic'.

That is ridiculous. I'm talking more about 5-6 wipes without getting through the first phase of Garuda EX or something along those lines.

Increasing the penalty doesn't matter because you can easily get around it.

All you have to do is disconnect yourself, at that point the rest of the party either kicks the disconnected player or after 5 minutes they get auto kicked without any penalty. SE will likely never change this because it would punish people that actually disconnect due to a poor connection by greeting them with a 30 minute, or longer if some people got their way, penalty.

Pretty sure it's been mentioned before, but if they leave, it should use up their roulette bonus for the day, including the penalty for leaving. By the time they get back in after the penalty, they could have just finished what they originally got.

Don't like what you got? Too bad. It's a roulette, it's not meant to work in your favor, it's supposed to be random. As I've said before on a few other topics, people need to remember that it's a mmo, it's not all about you. When you pull bs like that, you're wasting other people's time.


Here comes the hate and rage but, if you don't like playing with others or quiting because of 1 mistake, hoping to get a better pt, I think the genre you're looking for are called single player rpgs.

What they need to do is lower the damned vote kick timer.

People either DC (deliberately or legit) near the beginning and cant kick them for like 5-10 min. So now you have to stand around doing nothing for 5-10 min then try and seek a replacement. Heaven forbid its the tank. Not to mention you can't vote abandon either. Had this happen 2x last week alone.

Oh and stiffer penalties? No thanks. While few parties (short of the above situation) have made me want to abandon I don't want to be stuck with a hour or more lockout because the group is just impossible. Get stuck in a Mannor (Hard) run with DPS pathetically geared then think about what your asking.

Well, I do dislike quitting duty's or others quitting, but when Behemoth is up, or Odin is up, you best not count on me to stay, I'm out of that duty as soon as someone yells to get my pitch-fork and torches to go hunt behemoth/Odin.
