    Duty Finder Idea: "Party Again?" feature

    When doing dungeons I think to myself, what if our party is good enough to keep redoing the same dungeon over and over. Having a "party again" feature will allow positive things to happen:

    1) No wait time after the first que.
    2) More exp for the time you would have missed waiting for the DF to que again.
    3) Have longer convos with new people.

    Only drawback is if 1 person needs to leave then probably everyone would need to reque as well. However, I think this feature would do more good than bad.

    What does everyone think about this idea?

    Whilst great on paper there needs to be more incentive to run dungeons multiple times for this to be useful. Currently the xp and loot from dungeons are negligible. Most people only run dungeons either for their first story clear or as part of a roulette for the bonus xp and tomestones. The majority wouldn't use this feature because after the first run the reward is much much smaller.

    We would need to see much more useful loot and much better xp rewards for there to ever be a chance of having all four players actually want to run it again...

    Two words: Zodiac grind. I'd totally utilize this if I got a good party.

    Yes but what are the odds that the entire party you found through DF would actually be there to grind for just the weapon? The majority of people using the DF do it just for a roulette bonus and thus have no reason to run it again with you... Without some incentive for the majority of players to want to run multiple times this would be a wasted feature.

    Why would we assume that EVERYONE in the party would have to continue? If one wanted to bow out, simply replace them with someone from the queue. As far as incentive, I find a good party to be incentive in and of itself; there could always be something else to go with it to entice those that aren't of the same mind, though.

    Wow has a similar feature that works very well. Basically, your "party" and the "instance Party" are two different groups. If you like a group that you ran with all the leader has to do requeue again and everyone gets a prompt. If they want to continue they accept, if they dont, they bow out and leave. Those that decide to stay enter the queue as a group. I would be OK with a similar system in FF14 not just for dungeons but Coil farming or even Duty finder groups that are trying to learn T9.

    Well this feature will probably be most used when leveling from 15-50/60, due to the nature of how much DD suffers trying to get into a party, this will "potentially" allow them to cut sometime between ques. Yes there will be times where people will want to opt out, but if the opportunity comes where everyone wants to keep on partying then they should.

    Most DF party in FFXIV don't need to be experts to beat any of the 1-50 ( not hard mode) dungeons. So Any DF party would benefit from this feature.

    There are a lot of quests like the relic quests that require you to leave through the exit portal to get your item, so a party again feature wouldn't work without major reprogramming of a bunch of quests.

    Not sure what's hard about programming it too drop on boss kill.
