Thank you SE!! (DF lockout)

Does anyone know if we can change the queue pop notifier sound effect?

In System Config, Sounds, there is an option, at the very top, to turn on System Sounds while in DF, and to turn on game sounds while the game is in the background. What this does, is about every 1 second, it does a chime/clock tick something (I honestly forgot what) that continues the entire length of the DF timer when the window pops up. You can also lower the other sounds of the game, so all you hear is this continuous chime.

Also it would be really nice if the Duty finder would automatically re-equip the gearset you queued up for the duty with instead of having to manually reassign. There have been times where I was browsing my retainer when it popped and I had been a crafter. I have to exit out of my retainer in a hurry, open my character sheet, change my class, then enter the duty finder tab, get to the status, open it, and then click accept. Its quite the process when you are panicked.

You can create a Gear Set from your Character screen, and then drag that Gear Set to a hotbar. Some may or may not want to or have the hotbar space to do this. But it makes swapping classes/jobs really fast.

Well, this is going to suck when you're trying to ask one of your friends to join the instance after your tank/healer bailed. They'll try once, then give up. =/

Just this week, I was running Brayflox Normal for a friend. Our Healer left us after the third boss for... gods know what reason? And we were left without a healer for the remainder of the dungoun.

We most assuredly we were in the que. It said 'Finding members' at the top-right. Yet no matter how hard my freinds tried to join my que? They kept getting fresh/brand new ones, with the /in progress/ box checked.

Tell me ,how is this fair to them - if they try to que in progress - that they would get these non-progress ones while trying to help me and suffer a detrimental effect if they don't take the one they're not intending?

This is my only concern. I fear it hurts those of us with good linkshell networks of friends who need a replenishment. =/ Even more than the broken/faulty system we have now.

This. Just more bad decisions from SE. If there is ANY partial group anywhere in a dungeon, then that should be priority in front of the line looking for any replacements that have selected to join in progress. That is a bad decision and implementation by SE to not put these partial groups ahead of the line when looking for replacements.

I hope this would never happen! Why? Well - while someone like you might use it for actual benefit of abandoned group (although there will be more partial groups out there which you'll effectivelly put at "disadvantage" by this) what will soon start happening is that group of "friends" will kick strangers before last boss or wanted loot chest and invite one of their own to "help" (themselves to loot or easy run etc.). So - no thank you!

That is a very valid point. And one I never thought of. But, we know it will be abused like you said. Easy solution. If there is ANY votekick for any reason, then no direct invites can be done. If someone leaves on their own, then and only then can you direct invite a friend. That would solve that problem.
