Why can't this game let you leave and re-enter a dungeon like every other MMO?

[Zumi]

Yes but think about what that do to this game think about new players trying to get stuff done or ppl who don't have hours to kill. If ppl want to kill hunts do hunt party's i mean it's one thing to need to quit out for real life but to want to quit out just for a few seals? will it kill ppl to wait till later to get them? nope

In all the other MMOs with a dungeon finder tool that I played if you need to get something done as in guild tells you about a rare spawn that just came up or you got to repair that takes a min or two most people don't mind waiting it isn't even a big deal. It is the norm for MMOs to be able to leave a dungeon temp and then go back. FFXIV is the first game I seen that doesn't let you do this.

Seriously.....

I wouldn't know what to think if someone doing a dungeon with me leaves just because a S did spawn...

....

Probably nothing good.... Luckily the group doesn't have to wait someone for these things.... Else it would be a chaos, dungeons could take a lot if we have to wait 10 minutes every time someone has to do something for themselves....

With all respect, no offense.... DON'T QUEUE if you love so much to kill S.... Do spiritbonding in the open world, or wait in mor dhona to some S to appear... That stuff.


Hunt did so much damage to some aspects of the game...

I agree with the OP. Other MMOs I have played let you leave a dungeon to get a rare spawn, or to repair then teleport back in. This would be a useful feature.

i was putting high hopes on you before

after what u said now u fell from my eyes -_-

not because a hunt spawned or not repaired earlier means ppl will wait for u

dunno about ur mmo history but this thing will do worse than good especially in FFXIV

And that comment made me remember one very important thing. We can.... We can still speak with the people!... I suddenly remembered before certain patch all those times I forgot to repair and asked people to kick me and come back, and did it, not a big deal at all...

Also when I used to queue Low level roulette with WHM and appeared in a dungeon I liked more with SCH... (For example, Haukke Manor, WHM has no regen, SCH has Bane...) so I asked people to kick me for coming back with scholar, those things.

I doubt someone would agree to kick you just to.... Go kill a S, though...You can't compare going out because a repair (You won't do the dungeon at its maximum, delaying the group) or to change to a better class... Than... Just freely delay the group for your own sake.

I play(ed) a ton of mmo's and i have yet to find one where it was acceptable in a pug to just leave to do other stuff like killing some rare mob. While i agree with the whole leaving quickly to do stuf; although in this game that would be limited tp repair since you cannot respec or require mats for something. The annoying part is this would result into people leaving constantly, making dungeons even more of a bore.

Even if you were able to leave the dungeon, you would also have to leave the group in order to join a hunt party. So how would you rejoin a dungeon group that you left?
I would say Adrian74's suggestion is the best for you: Have the others kick you and the rejoin in progress.

I know I'd be thinking about giving them the old vote dismiss when they came back from their little s-rank. I remember years ago on DOFUS when headhunter was released. People would be out fighting with friends and some jerk would come aggress them and everyone else in the party would have to wait a half hour while the two players fought it out.

In those other MMOs, dungeons are also typically more of a time investment in addition to gear breaking faster and more often than it does here. To use *that other popular game* as an example, you would usually only be able to sustain about half a dozen deaths before you need to repair.
In addition, in those games, their instancing systems work completely differently.
But here's the trade-off as well: If you're free to leave a dungeon and come back, then that means lockouts and other shenanigans. The reason you've never joined a group and ended up in an empty dungeon because someone didn't reset is because of the way the game works.
You basically want to throw that away. And don't say "they won't!" because even *that other game* had issues like that for a long, long time (up through cataclysm i remember it happening). The only reasons for leaving and returning involve inventory management. You're gonna have to decide which of the 50 pairs of boots you want to keep.

And this is what separates XIV from other terrible MMOs..

we only have casual dungeons, 10-20m runs, even raids are that short, the only MMO i remember where you could leave an instance is PSO, and most instances could take more than 2h to complete in that game, and having all your items was really important.

Leaving the dungeon to do a hunt is not a valid reason, choose well your content.
