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

You aren't locked out for the entire day.

Lets say for some reason, you have to withdraw or you miss it 3 times in a row. Then you get say, a 30 min penalty. 30 mins later you re-queue, but your pizza is on fire and while you're putting the fire out, the queue pops and you miss it again. You have to wait 30 minutes again. You don't get the three strikes you're out. You only get one strike. Until reset happens. Then you get 3 strikes again.

OK. I'm going to agree with this (and other similar posts).
The prelim patch notes are vague. But I'm going to call you out again if it turns out that the punishment is as harsh as I initially thought and you're wrong.
