Thank you SE!! (DF lockout)

[Vespar]

Like what Morningstar said above (she beat me to it)
It should be noted that even right now if you get the 30min DF lockout for leaving a group, you can not even enter a PF group until the DF timer resets. I would assume this "3-strikes-your-out" system will work the same.

I like what they are doing but I think it needs to be adjusted.

3 in 1 hour lock out for a day maybe.

As a tank I see DPS timing out all the time, and now that I'm leveling my BRD with 20+ min queues I can see how easy it would be to go AFK and miss it.

Its the damn tanks and healers that are the main problem, quitting when its not an in progress run because they get instant queues.

I think the 3 in 1 day penalty is a bit harsh, unless you can still go into content as a full 8 man group. Also kinda sucks if you're trying to join a friend's in progress queue and it tries to throw you into a different queue. Either eat the penalty or run the content.

I don't know, I really don't think this change was necessary. ST is probably the worst offender and even it's not unbearable. If anything, I think rage quitting should be the one getting this kind of penalty, not queue withdraws.

There's already a penalty for quitting a duty. It's called a 30 minute lock out.

This is FANTASTIC. My philosophy has always been that if you want to queue for DF, you need to make sure you have the time. No more ST fishing or spam, at least not near as much. Thanks SE! Its not a house, but I'll take it!

[Granyala]

This is an utterly IDIOTIC change.

If you want to eliminate "in progress fishing", do what Blizzard did: HIDE THE PROGRESS.

It's so friggin easy to miss that 45s window, esp when you're waiting 45mins+ as DPS.

Actually, it is. I haven't hopped on the smartphone train yet.

Just play in windowed mode and don't maximize your browser window.

That won't work here because a lot of times people will use in progress to help out a friend if a tank leaves mid-run or something. I do this all of the time. It wasn't an issue on WoW because you could just invite that friend to your group. Without the in progress on the box on this game, you wouldn't have any way to make sure you're joining the correct group.

I mean yeah, a couple of times I've ended up in the wrong group because another group was looking for someone at the same time, but it's really rare.

I don't think very many people are going to miss queue three times in a row.

In a day, you mean.

[Aethaeryn]

In a day, you mean.

In a day either. I'm not saying this isn't a bit harsh, but I really doubt it's going to lock you out of DF for the rest of the day or something.

They really did need to do something, though. Someone in this thread said the withdraw spam isn't really a big deal, but I've had people do it for over half an hour before. It's really frustrating to have to stop what I'm doing (crafting, gathering, reading, netflix, whatever else) and just sit there that long clicking commence because an in progress farmer occasionally lets it time out instead of immediately withdrawing.
