Locked out of the Duty Finder.

[EZ5902]

I was just locked out of the Duty Finder after a party member withdrew from the duty as soon as the duty was found.

I cannot control if another party member withdraws or not.
I should not be penalized for the actions taken by a different party member!

This feature needs to be removed at once as I am sure that I am not the only innocent victim that has been locked out of the Duty Finder by something that one cannot control!

Two words: Ready Check! Use It....

WHY????? I understand that trolling and "phishing" the DF is a problem but I think a rather minor one. After waiting, sometimes 30 mins or longer for a group, You might just get involved in something else or just not want to go into a dungeon whenever the DF decides one is open for you. I don't think I should be penalized for going to the bathroom, or getting up to get a snack and having the DF match me at that particular time. Just to be clear, I don't phish or troll the DF but even those who do are still playing the game and still paying their monthly fee. Let people play the game the way they want to. Unless someone continually leaves a group AFTER the dungeon is open, there should be no penalty. Come on people it's a game!! Lives are not at stake here. Get a grip.

The majority of people complaining are healers and tanks. I wonder why they are complaining /sarcasm

I haven't had a single penalty since this has been implemented, in fact, I haven't even had a single strike against me. It really isn't that difficult to be ready to play the game before you register for a duty.

I can think of a hundred different reasons, but the primary one would probably be that if you are on a small server, there aren't really a lot of people to queue with, and sometimes the best players have already been in 10 queues previously that day, and its easy to have a withdrawal.

when using duty finder, you dont just pull from your own server. you pull from your server cluster.

Been playing since the start and the only time the withraws were frequent enough to proove annoying was on raid 24 man content. Just have the panelty for raid content. Never had fishing in 4man parties really...

On the flipside, I;ve seen 10-12+ withdraws back to back for EX roulette and trials, it's present in all content, it's just worse in Raid content.

well its to late its here and honsetly i hope it hurts square enix and makes some people quit and makes them loes money it was stupid idea on ses part and i hope it hurts them

People not being able to troll the queue will not hurt SE at all - It helped everyone else.

Yep, "minor problem." SE didn't readjust the frontlines system to start and scale based on people who did get in if it was truly a "minor problem." Also..stop with the "penalized for going to the bathroom" - You have THREE. CHANCES if you go to the bathroom and miss it all 3 times, that is honestly not SE's problem, not to be rude or anything, but how do you go to the bathroom and get locked out when you have 3 chances?

I missed some DF once in awhile and never been punished.

If you missed 2 then you should be more careful for your next queue.

ps. I main healer, I support this punishment as it is right now.

If you're entering something as a partial pre-made party, be it with friends or via the PF, etc... You should either know these people, or be performing ready checks before you press that button to reserve an instance. Failure to do so is at the fault of the party leader.

Yeah because god forbid someone has to take a piss or let their dog out some time in the sometimes 20 to 40 minute wait to find a dungeon in a partial party setup.

Three Strikes - People who keep saying this keep pretending it's a one withdraw then lockout. That is simply not the case.

Three strikes a day (for the whole party and not just a single person), and it has happened to me 3 times in the last 2 days. With friends, who cannot be bothered to sit at their computer staring at the screen in-game for 20 minute queue time waits. People tend to get thirsty or hungry or have to use the bathroom in those times. If you are defending this you are crazy.

I'm afraid typing "brb bio" is not going to stop the server from penalizing you.
