Reduce DF lockouts by increasing time to accept duty to 120 seconds?

[Kaes]

There are three threads at minimum complaining about getting a Duty Finder lockout and many of these are happening from timeouts due to being AFK, crafting, aggro mobs, being in dungeons, being in a cutscene, changing gearsets and so on, when the player was willing to accept the duty.

One player has suggested increasing the timeout on the confirmation to Accept/Withdraw from a duty, which could be also triggered based on the elapsed time. I would give them credit for the suggestion, alas I cannot remember where I read it.

The confirmation time to accept a duty is currently 30 seconds. Would you be willing to wait slightly longer for other party members to be confirmed, in order to provide each party member a two minute confirmation timeout?

And should a longer timeout only be provided if that particular player has been waiting for longer than five minutes?

Like the Ready Check; a simple hold button would work for those situations, but only if a player can interact with the queue pop-up while in a cut-scene etc.

It's 45 seconds. But anyways, I think it's fine the way it is, I'm not trying to sit around and waste more time because people don't know how to pay attention.

Absolutely not. This would only increase queue times. A lot.

When you queue for a duty, make sure you'll be ready to accept it. Missed it because reasons? That's okay, you have two more chances. Even failing that, it's only a 30 minute penalty.

People are complaining about nothing.

I think 60 would do just fine. I like the withdrawal penalty idea, but have panicked once already when I had aggro and almost couldn't change class in time to enter the dungeon. ><

With this I can totally make every one wait 119 seconds before hitting commence!

Then there be threads after they implemented this sugguestion complaining about the same dam thing honestly imo it an appropriate penalty.

How in the actual .... can you miss queueing for a dungeon if you are already in a dungeon?
