1 strike for missing a duty? >.> Seems Harsh Yoshi

[Fhaerron]

Is this really confirmed? I thought only the person who failed to confirm would get the strike.

Unless it was changed recently, I do remember in SB I got a strike when somebody in the party was AFK.
That's why we do ready check before queuing up.

It’s the whole party that gets the strike, I’ve seen it many times.

[LineageRazor]

Yes. If anyone you are currently partied with misses queue, you get the strike as well. Note that this only applies when signing up for duty as a partial party - if you are grouped with four (for a Light party instance) or eight (for a Full party instance) and someone misses, no one gets a strike.

Basically, as long as you're not inconveniencing a stranger you or your group were matched with, you're fine. If a stranger is inconvenienced, everyone in the party that did the inconveniencing gets a strike.

Bottom line, as was said, don't queue as a partial party unless you're sure everyone in your partial party is ready. And if you check first, and they miss anyway, chew 'em out good. XD

I can confirm this that missing 3 duty commence is not 24 hours. How? I was with 2 others trying to queue for a roulette and the leader was not reading chat. Someone said he needed to go afk and queued up anyway. Then again. The leader had already 1 strike and hit the 3 strike causing a 30min timer.

The thing is if you miss enough to get another queue timer, it goes up to 24 hours.

Its 30 min lock out regardless of strike count, 3 strikes nets you a days ban from using the que system. Its to stop people constantly leaving dungeons and requing to get better groups hence the 30min lock out timer.

Missing a queue 3 times every 24 hours gives you the 30m wait. Missing it once every 24 hours does not. There is no full day ban from Duty Finder present in this game as far as I'm aware: just the 30 minute penalty for too many withdraws and the 30 minute penalty from leaving a duty.

I think they should add to this. If someone misses a queue, they should be logged out when on a congested server. If they're not present for a queue (which is a long 45s timer), they are taking a spot someone could be actively playing in.

What's happening (and has for years) is DPS have a long queue. They queue up and it can take up to 10 minutes to get in. They go afk waiting for the queue to pop. AFK isn't playing. They could be doing something while waiting, but instead they're taking up space. Space someone could be using, someone that might be playing a healer that makes the queues for other active DPS to queue faster for. So not only is this person inconveniencing 3 people, but another trying to login.

It can easily take longer than 45 seconds to go to the bathroom, which I consider likely to be the most common reason for missed queues. Forced logout seems a bit harsh for that.

Queue when you're done? That's what I've been doing in that situation.

When you are so absorbed with what other players are doing that you deny them natural human needs.

Sometimes the bathroom need hits you randomly and you may have been in queue for a bit already, most times you get back before any queue pop, once in awhile you might miss it.

Having to use the bathroom while waiting for queues does not need a punishment lol...
