The Don'ts of Duty Finder?

[Shirana]

Since this game has odd and often inconvenient ways of blocking simple functions (like partying or whispering for examples), I was just wondering what kinds of things can you NOT do during duty finder waiting?
For example. Me and my significant other were playing together and we signed up for a dungeon figuring it was as simple as partying and having the party lead sign us up for group finder. Well...it said 2/2 on DPS (her as THM and me as ACN) so we thought it worked. Well it said 1/2 DPS on her end. When I put my pet away it worked for both of us so apparently one Don't is do not have your pet summoned when playing as an arcanist while signing up for group finder lol
So forum community, I ask, what are some things you can NOT do when signing for duty finder so that it will not split you from the people you are trying to sign with or cancel your participation in the duty finder. Some more specific questions are below~

1) Can you change classes while waiting on duty finder to match you with others?

2) Can you change maps?

3) Can you view cutscenes (like turning in quests or talking to NPCs and such)?

4) Can you participate in FATE's and Leves?

Feel free to mention anything else about what you cannot do, those were just my four questions :3

4) Fates yes, Leves not sure

You can't? D;
So I can't mount my chocobo either during group finder or is that just when you summon it as a battle pet?

[BeePee]

Just when you summon it as your battle pet, since it modifies your party makeup. Feel free to ride though!

Yes you can do leves while you're in queue for duty finder, but if it pops and you take it before completing the quest (not to be confused with turning in the quest), then you'll have to start the quest over, and you'll lose your points you spent for the quest

You cannot do anything that modifies your party make up. You also cannot log out. Other than that, you can basically do anything you want. You definitely can do everything on your inquiry list.

1) Definitely yes. When it pops, it tells you you're on the wrong class, and you have until the countdown to change to the right job. So if you're stuck in combat or crafting, you need to finish quickly.

4) Leves yes as well.

I believe I saw a post somewhere that they're planning on changing that so we will be able to have our chocobo with us (in fighting mode) while waiting on DF, but I can't seem to find the post now, so I can't check whether it mentioned a timeframe for when that would be coming.

No timeline yet.

The team has also been looking into a better incorporation of Chocobo Companions including allowing you to register for Duty Finder while having your companion out, as well as riding your companion while he's called. While the timing for these hasn't been decided we'll keep you aware when we hear more.
