Lockout Timer for Withdrawals is soo stupid

[Lovescake]

Ready check.

Oh i know bout it,

but even still, why withdraw penalty for a FULL party?

Was it for ST or CT? If so your party wasn't full, only full premade alliances don't get the penalty.

If it was a trial then you shouldn't be penalized.

Also, instead of withdrawing the first person should have commenced and then go to the bathroom.

you must have been trying to queue for ST in which case the following applies:

When it comes to Crystal Tower, immunity for the withdrawal penalty only takes place when you queue as a full, pre-made 24-person alliance.

last night we had someone d/c and since he went offline instead of hitting confirm one of the party members got the 30 minute lockout. tell me again why this system was necessary instead of people just dealing with the extra few minutes waiting on a non troll?

The only valid complaint about the lockout so far.

Just joined a trial duty in progress 0/1 and there was only 1 person left inside, so I leave.

Re-que duty, get 0/1 progress again, so I decline.

30 minute lockout.

LAME!

Moral of the story: no longer join duty in progress.

Cause the Troll/Griefer is the problem and ur group has to suffer to eliminate them

So that's 1 of your 3 withdrawals. What about the other two?

They mentioned that it was only 1 of the party members. I can definitely see with how many different parties some people are in with party finder that they can easily get 3 lockouts from randoms.

I had this issue the other day. I was ready for a dungeon, the person downstairs decided they wanted to start Netflix, which destroyed my ping, and the queue popped just as I 90k'ed. no one got locked out, but I felt horrible.

I was ready ofr the dungeon, but due to circumstances beyond my control, my internet connection wasn't. the penalty should have been applied to me, not my entire party.

I can see the argument if it was only one, but they are giving people THREE strikes. Is it really so hard to be more careful after you have two already?

again, sometimes you have 3 withdrawls for different reasons, then you aren't the one who gives yourself your third. I would be pissed at this too.

I personally don't have an issue with the new DF penalty system at all because I've never had an issue with it nor have I had an issue like the one you experienced. But I can definitely see how that can be frustrating and annoying. Perhaps they'll hotfix it in future patch so that only the individual who withdrew gets the penalty and not the entire group. That seems quite absurd actually that they'd punish everyone.
