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

[Mholito]

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

You do not get punished until the third strike. If you consistently hit three or more strikes a day, that is your problem.

So I noticed today that after missing a duty once, I got locked out to do duties for 30 minutes. I thought there was a 3 strike rule. When did they change this?

Also, this applied when my leader queued us, but someone was on the wrong job, then all of us could not queue back in. >.>

This does not seem right and is more of a nuisance. Did SE have official word on why they did this? How has the community responded to this. Did the community ask for this? It would seem that there are tons of people queuing for things. Why punish so severely SE?

It's 3 within 24 hours. So you missed 2 more within the past 24 hours as well.

I know of the current system in place already, but the chances you'll have to go to the bathroom and miss it that many times is abnormal so it isn't harsh or anything.

The person I replied to wanted MORE punishment than we have right now for missing a queue pop. So no, we don't need more punishment for simply missing a queue.

Read first. Reply Second.

I've backed out of duties way more than 3 times in a single day.

Does the 24 hour lockout still exist?
I've never seen it, despite fulfilling the supposed conditions for it.

It doesn't, just misinformation. Past the 3 strikes, you just keep getting the 30minute penalty automatically any failed queues after that.

This is the first i ever heard about a so called 24 hour lockout. Perhaps someone is taking wishfull thinking in some forum post for reality. Or someone only half reading the punishments

[Havenchild]

Idk what 24hr lockout anyone is talking about here as I have never seen such a thing.

If a queue pops, and either the timer counts to 0 or you withdraw, it counts towards the 3 strikes. On the third strike, you automatically take a 30min penalty including any additional que misses for the next 24 hours.

Leaving a dungeon while the party is full, will also net you a 30m penalty if it includes anyone from Duty Finder.

Leaving a dungeon, if the party is not a full party, will NOT give you a penalty.

If you are kicked from a party in a dungeon, you do NOT get a penalty.

If you are kicked from a party, in the overworld, you cannot rejoin it in party finder.

Only rules that have ever been in play since ARR / Heavensward to my knowledge.

Not sure how hard it is to do, for SE, but a notification on my phone through their companion app when a duty pops would be stellar - sometimes I head downstairs to grab a drink and leave with "estimated 20 minutes" and come back with failed to commence a duty message lol.

I've never received the 3 strike penalty though (and I've missed a few due to bathroom/door/etc, it's obvious when you miss it.. making it is easy to avoid getting the punishment). . . So it's hard for me to say it's harsh. 1 missed attempt would be harsh but as other people pointed out that's most likely not what happened (other person got 3 strikes and held the group back).

If you miss the que pop 3 times you get a 30min penalty. This does not apply if you are in a light/full party queing for a light/full party duty.
If you leave a duty with the party/alliance full you get a 30min penalty. There is no penalty for leaving when the party/alliance is not full.
There is no 24hr penalty.

Is pretty simple guys

This would be great, and also give a good reason for more people to use the app. Maybe even (though that's probably too complicated to be able to be implemented) allow you to accept the queue and warn the rest of the party that you're still AFK. While there's potential for this to be abused, people would still be able to freely kick the abuser after a certain time.
