The occupied thing on duty finder is ridiculous

Fair enough. Could've sworn other people said the default was Withdraw. It's been so long since I used a gamepad I don't remember myself.

Regardless, though, I agree that we should be able to commence even while interacting with NPCs or whatever. That's a pain no matter what input method you've got.

and i also fail to understand how he got the 30minute abandon penalty. you can't abandon a duty you haven't commenced.

Third strike. He'd withdrawn (or had group members withdraw) after the queue popped 2 times already that day.

hm. well i don't know. he says "abandon". and that Withdraw penalty gives you a 24hour lockout or something. not just 30minutes. i don't know. but all-in-all, at least to me, the OP makes zero sense. i am not saying it's impossible, but i have personally never clicked Withdraw by accident. i've actually clicked Commence by accident several times, though.

maybe the OP will clarify for us.

It's 30 minutes, and it resets once a day. On your third strike, you're locked out for 30 minutes. Every time you withdraw (once the queue has popped; withdraws before the DF finds you a party don't affect anything) after that, you're locked out for 30 minutes, until the next morning's reset time (11 EST or whatever it is now; midnight Japan time).

oh i see. well that's not so bad. the patch notes don't actually state a lock-out time frame. just when the with withdraw count resets.

but something doesn't make sense. if the lockout is only for 30minutes, why do we need a reset time for the withdraw counts? wouldn't they just auto reset after the 30minute lockout? or is every withdraw after your third strike initiate a 30 minute lock out?

The latter. Every withdrawal from 3 onward gives a 30-minute penalty.

ohhh. okay. well that is pretty cool. i was always under the impression we would be locked out until that reset time. and sure as heck wasn't going to find out! lol. no more being scared of the DF wew. :/
