The new lockout teleportation feature is nice, but

100% on the temp invuln. I don't want to punish people who were watching cutscenes/had to grab pizza at the door. But if you're gone long enough to be AFK for the entire fight, it's probably better that you be replaced anyway unless this is something you've talked out with your teammates. I understand that life happens and try to be understanding, but I also want the game to be fair to the folks who are active and participating.

You die once in a DF duty, so what? The gil you get by running the place is more than enough to cover any repairs. You would likely also die if your sudden need to afk occured during a fight instead of between them. I really don't see the problem here.

There are very few cases when a person cannot say anything when going away. If they had a heart attack or the like (when the game is the least of their problems), if their house is on fire (again, don't think anyone would care about the game), if they are at a robbers gunpoint (same) or if a small child they are taking care of is about to do something extremely dangerous.

As you can see, all of these cases involve a loss of life or severe health hazard at least. At all other times, the time it takes to write "need 3min" is absolutely nothing significant.


If you do say and end up dead because of this feature, then it just means your party decided that it's better to have you dead and ready for resurrection than wait on you. If you don't say...it's on you.

I'm not suggesting a change but one drawback of this is on jobs that have a raise ability. This change increases the chance of a wasted Swiftcast/Resurrection on an AFK player as they are now inside the arena and you have no way of knowing they are not there. With them stuck outside they will never be a potential target reducing the chance of wasting the Swiftcast on an AFK player.

I have life stuff and never have to walk away while doing a dungeon. It's not like they take very long. I think the OP should look into why he needs to hurt the runs in the first place...

Like I said, it happens so far and few between. But if I have to get up and help a family member who cannot do something themselves (elderly person unable to do a thing, specifically), or I get a phone call that requires my attention.
That and life situations are varied from person to person. I wouldn't judge others out-of-game situations based on your own.

I guess I just don't understand why you are so bothered by being teleported in and dying because you were AFK. I could understand if you died due to no invuln while you were at the keys, but wouldn't you rather have the chance to participate in the fight instead of sitting out just because you had to dip out for a second, whether you died in the process or not? Not trying to make fun of you here or anything, I just feel like I'm missing something.

[Rhus]

Only people I feel like this would annoy are the ones I see standing around raids waiting to be locked out for an easy run. The ones who deliberately walk back to the boss after clearing from death instead of using the teleporter. Now instead of being sorry for being Locke doubt 4 times now you will have to actually participate when ported in or when raised if you die as afk.

Timer is likely there to get around loading times.

I got DC'd the other day just as the run started, and as soon as I reconnected I got the prompt and was able to rez both healers on my RDM. Vehemently against this functionality going away, though again, I wouldn't mind them adding a short invulnerability since you don't know what you're teleporting into. Won't help if you're afk, but if you're afk that much, you deserve a kick and won't be there to mind anyway.

Probably wouldn't be able to get away with invulnerability since players might rig it so the d/c before the fight and reconnect just as the tank buster comes. Yes, unlikely to pull off.

Rather they just teleport the player in blindly, but teleport them to where the party leader is standing, so you don't drop right into the middle of an AOE, but otherwise I think works in a way that nobody should be objecting to..

Why do I see so many worried about wasting MP on raising an afk player? If player didn't get moved until the timer finished, if the player didn't do anything after being moved, if the player is lying dead exactly where they teleported to, chances are you can save your MP, until/unless they finally speak up. Because it's one thing to step afk without saying anything, but if you get back and you're dead, kinda no reason not to take a few seconds to type something up. Because you're not doing anything else.
