DF Lockout needs to be adjusted/looked at/reviewed

[RyuRoots]

yes all 7 would get the penalty also keep in mind for ST you would also get the penalty even in a full 8 man party. You need a 24 man alliance for ST to avoid the penalty

Not true. I had 4 withdrawals in less than 2 minutes for an ST queue earlier this week (I was queueing solo and I don't withdraw) and nothing happened. Got in when no one left on the fifth try.

People need to 1) stop whining and 2) get their facts straight if they're going to. The lockout system is a godsend.

1) I wasn't whining, I was only answering her question, as I like the new system. 2) It is you that needs to get your facts straight as I was only giving an answer that was provided by Camate, as you can see below. 3) of course you don't get a penalty if you are queuing alone and you don't withdraw. The one thing I do agree with you though is that yes the lockout system is a godsend.

Also, in the event that you queue up to the Duty Finder as a party, if one party member withdraws when matched, it will count as a penalty towards all of the party members. This excludes times when you queue as a complete pre-made party. Withdrawing in these instances will not count towards the penalty.

*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.

Here was the question she had posted.

Full pre-made parties don't get penalties right? But for example a party of 7 queued and 1 of 7 had to withdraw (repairs, etc), then ALL 7 of 7 get the penalty?

and the answer I gave.
