Congrats guys, you can no longer HQ Craft while waiting for the DF queue

You have about a minute to finish the craft. More then enough time to finish up.

It's 45 seconds that you have to accept DF.

Many high level crafts take much longer than a minute (around 2 or 3 minutes) if you want to HQ them (yes i have master tools for all classes except CLN).

Also you still have to wait 3~5 seconds till you can do anything again after you finish the craft.

Also you take 3~5 seconds to change the gear to the class/job you queued for DF.

So you have a little more than 30 seconds to finish the craft.


I kinda understand why they did this, but i feel like the punishment is WAY TOO HARSH.

I usually accept the DF queue in less then 5 seconds when I`m not crafting, which happens most of the time (i usually queue as tank and healer so it doesnt take too long. but when leveling archer/bard..... oh god. over 30 minutes queues for anything)




A fair system would take that into consideration.
If you accept the queue in less than 10 seconds, you get a "plus" point.
When you fail to accept the queue in the 45 seconds it gives you or if you withdraw, you get lose a point.
If these points are less than 0 you can't queue for DF for the next 15 minutes.

This was a rushed bullshit "solution" that any developer should be ashamed of.

The guy above me kinda explain alot of it. And yes, I do mainly star crafted stuff when waiting for DF, but mostly 1*. But even so, it will take considerate amount of time to finish plus with the delay after. And I do have macro-ed the crafts and have mapped all my job gear changes on the vertical bars to quick change. Even with all that, I could sometimes lose to the DF timer. I'm using a 15 rotation craft (which was provided graciously by someone at this forum), and each skill take about 2-3 seconds to execute.

And it's not like I don't have troubles with long time DF wait and re-pops. I do play almost continuously since beta until now. I used to groan with the long DF wait, bot not anymore since I can do other things like crafting. But the upcoming implementation kinda harsh.

There's also RL urgency stuff. Can you always withdraw yourself quick enough before you rush for the calls? Now with upcoming changes, it kinda forces me not to DF at any time, or suffer the consequences.

And I'm not sure about trolling stuff either. It's not like we have the way to know exactly who's queuing. What's the point of trolling a DF anyways? Not even sure the auto cancellation were intended. I recon it's probably happens on ppl who waited for way too long and unintentionally missed their times, or they just happen to have urgent stuff to take care atm.
