Stop automatically dropping out of DF when bring out chocobo.

[Snugglebutt]

It is incredibly annoying and rather stupid to be honest that summoning your chocobo drops/locks you out of DF, you should be allowed to use your chocobo while waiting in DF queue which helps with fates and other such fights might find hard to solo without, when a commencement window pops or click accept/start within it then the system itself could simply automatically withdraw all chocobos from players before beginning.

They were supposed to be changing it to allow you to queue with your chocobo out but there has been no update on that feature for a long time.

This is the QoL change I want most.

Yup, not being able to use DF makes the Choc pretty useless.

Oh well, that animal is only useful during leveling anyway. Mine is tank specced but can't hold aggro even if her life depended on it. <_<

Chocobos are normal group members, joining a group breaks duty finder, working as intended

if only.

i'd love to queue for a 4 man duty with 2 players and their 2 chocobo companions.

unfortunately chocobo's aren't normal group members, they're crummy group members that can't enter dungeons.

although i swear that was one of the selling points of ARR originally.. doing 4 man contents with 2 people and their 2 birds..

Chocobos are normal group members...

They are not.

• Do not count towards expand of limit break on full group in open world
• Do not count as full party if you want invite to alliance
