Ways To Improve Duty Finder Queue Pop Issues.

[KyteStones]

Uhm, the way you want this to work is already how it works. Did you not notice it says "Finding new member." ? It isn't putting you with a brand new party, it's only replacing the people who did not ready up.

I believe you are wrong. How is it a full party, one person doesn't make it in when whole thing goes away and says "finding members" and every position is set back to unoccupied. I have also asked many times when this has happened if they were having the same queue issue during the join. I have never ran across anyone who said "yeah man that just happened to me like 8 times!" Its drops the whole party, then replaces them all over again.

Almost every game with queues like League of Legends, Smite or Dota has a box pop up in the corner of the screen saying "YOUR MATCH IS READY" if the game doesn't have focus when you get matched. This is what they should do here.

Nobody deserves a lockout timer for failing to respond unintentionally..

I like the "Your Match Is Ready" being a out of game notification. very cool idea, but I disagree about your statement about a lock out timer. Should I punished for having to drop a group because the DPS is bad? or maybe we all wanna leave because the time limit on Titan EX was reached and theres 15 minutes left and not enough time to complete it. Why should I get a 30 minute timer? Yeah "vote to dismiss map" is coming. But it's not here right now. 30 minutes for leaving a duty? And you think I'm being unfair.

Also, calm down people jesus. Too many of you losing yourself. Its a discussion. Not a war.

No, it looks like to me you misunderstood. When you register for a new duty, and the queue pop comes up and one member fails to ready before the 45 seconds are up, the whole group should not be dropped. I'm not talking about in the dungeon when someone leaves and its looking for new members.

Wait are you talking about members of your own formed party not clicking ready? Absolutely not. I'm not going to leave without someone just because they went afk for a minute. You aren't hurting anyone in the queue with this which is what this thread is supposed to be about. Are you really such a jerk to your party members that you would want to ditch them because they had to get up and use the restroom or get a drink (And if you want to do that, just kick them from the party then requeue)? Or am I still misunderstanding you? Because the only other thing what you're saying could be is what i said in my last post.

And I'm upset because of your implication hat people who are not trying to cause trouble should be punished. Especially because there is a simple solution that will solve the problem without forcing a change in normal people's behavior or punishing anyone.

I believe you are wrong. How is it a full party, one person doesn't make it in when whole thing goes away and says "finding members" and every position is set back to unoccupied.

If you're talking about the duty status display: That thing is wrong pretty much all the time. For me it pretty much always shows nobody present right up to the second the duty is ready- this is even if I waited a really long time. Virtually every time it says "finding new member" it takes only seconds to get another even if i'd been waiting half an hour with the window showing 0/0/1. And whether it's right or wrong is actually beside the point, because all the same people are still in the queue and will just get re-matched when the new member is found.

@ the edit above: talking about things like everyone wanting to leave in a DF party will be addressed in an update so while yes, its not here yet, it is pointless to discuss because it is coming.

I don't feel anyone other than people who abandon their party during a dungeon needs to be subject to any significant penalty.

Then don't play the game if you can not pay attention. You are being an inconsiderate ass by letting the timer run out because you can not be bothered to keep tabs on something you signed up for. You are INTENTIONALLY FAILING TO RESPOND BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION. If you are bored waiting in line DONT WAIT IN LINE and screw over other. If you can not commit DO NOT SIGN UP.

I agree that withdrawing from the commence popup should have a 3 minute wait. However if your in a full premade, Instead of giving a premade a popup to commence once the que is done, they should get a warning popup that the leader is registering for a que.

"Your party leader wants to register you for a duty (Insert Duty Here), do you accept? (Y/N)" Everyone has to click Y to be put in the que. Once the que pops, only the party leader should get the commence window. If he clicks withdrawal he should get a 3 minute wait. If he clicks commence, the entire group gets sucked in no matter what they are doing, as long as they were on the right job when registering for the duty, it will switch them.

The biggest problem I have with the DF and being in a premade, is there is always that one pita person who decided to cook up 10 stacks of food and wants to finish first, so they click withdrawal... etc. They should not be able to withdrawal at all, and if it was changed the way it was above it would work.
