Thank you SE!! (DF lockout)

[LalaRu]

... i have weeks where i have to withdraw 11-12 times for a logical reason

That means the lock is not an issue for you. If you so busy on other things maybe you return to your gaming console when lock have already expired and you don't even notice it happened. If you every time go to play just after 5s the lock happened, I'm inclined to not trust your reasons and thinking you are one of the people that SE (and myself) want punish.

People keep saying "Party Finder if you're under the new lockout", but don't you have to queue your group via the DF in order to get in?

More than once, I've had a Party Finder group unable to enter because someone (other than party lead) forgot they were still on DF penalty from a Duty they had dropped.

im a dps if i was a healer or tank SURE i might troll duty finder with withdrawing to teach u selfish ppl a lesson but im a dps my queing goes over 2 hours normally so its even realisticly smart for me to troll it as a dps and i hate the current tanks and healers so ya

literly when i que the max amount of dungons i can even do is about 4 a day conting the avarage que as a dps is way over a hour even though it says its 20 mins or less so no but people like you selfish healers and tanks crying about withdraws when u got basicly auto instants in duty

and i already listed some of the random legit reasons for withdrawing i have and i live in a studio apartment imaging people in a large house coming up with small issues there room in the top floor and the refridge is the bottom

as you see basic human needs and things outside of are power can easily cause more than 3 stikes a day

and just for u selfish ppl who dont see how ppl can legitly have a reason for withdrawing 3 times a day

the avarage human has to go to bathroom about 10 times a day some times more or less depending on diet and age based on ur place of living this can cause u to be withdrawn 3 times a day alone

now lets take other things into consideration power outages happan alot in some areas but for most of us we see about 1 maybe 2 a month

now for food and drinks based on the temputre where u living u need to hydrate yourself quit a bit this isnt a personal issue cuz im in a studio but people in large houses will have issues here a strike can accure
now for those who accidently knock out there power cord (if ur on labtop or have a pet that plays around you) this issue i have lots
those are just some needs and basic things on a daily bases that can easily cause 12 withdraws a day alone

On that premise, I think you are safe with new mechanic. Even if it happens to lose duty twice out of 4, you still have got no penalties. The only worried have to be the players that really are playing withdrawal duty. Most likely tanks and healers, don't think a dps will withdraw at ease on DF.

Edit:

... i have weeks where i have to withdraw 11-12 times for a logical reason

On second tough.. you before told us it happens you go to make it 12 times a day, and now you said that are no more than 4... Are you sure you aren't making things up? That's no good karma.

About damn time this was implemented and to people that are thinking this is unfair, what is unfair is having to go through 3-5(sometimes more, cough cough ST) withdrawals that will keep wasting my time.

i for one am very happy with this and am enjoying the tears of those trying to pull the "my life is more important" card

All told, it's a good change, I finally levelled BLM in the last few weeks and daytime DF queues as DPS are just a joke. I've got no problems with a 20 minute wait, thems the breaks, but frequently having a further 40 minutes of queue pops generally getting declined within a couple of seconds made it a waste of time for the most part. Very rarely did I see a queue simply timeout to someone being AFK so I don't really buy that. If you're getting distracted enough that you miss 3 queue pops then perhaps you would be better off dealing with the issue rather than hiding in a game? =(

I will criticise it in one regard though, a lesser cause of queue fishing is people trying to join their friends in an existing duty where people have left. Some method of sending an invite from within the duty to people in/on your linkshell/fc/friends list would have been nice alongside this change. One for 2.5 perhaps <3

okay go back to school and learn math just cuz i say i only get into dungons 4 times a day dosnt mean one cant que longer okay for all those who cant do simple math and know health enough to realize that this thing isnt just about the game it EFFECTS THE ACTRUAL PHSYICAL HEALTH OF THE GAMERS. sure alot of us arent harsh on are bodys for a game but i know alot of ppl who are

for those who dont understand math or human health your opions on this matter are worthless trash ur just being selfish cuz u want to rush through progression c

and this just dosnt effect us as gamers are us personally it effects people around some of the players i know we arent all that bad but i know alot of screwed up people who play online mmorpgs
let me make this clear if this was just about the game itself i wouldnt care but this isnt its about the phsyical health of the player base and mental health

If you are allowing this (or any other) game to affect your health be it physical or mental, then there are bigger issues at hand than a DF lockout. Put your feet up, lean back some and mellow out, life is much more enjoyable that way.

I'm rather busy during the evenings but I can't remember the last time I completely missed a queue pop (although I do have the benefit of a tablet and mac for browsing etc), I'll routinely sneak in a queue so that the pop window comes around as food is in the oven or on the hob and isn't going to need my attention for a while.
