Suggestion - Role swapping in instance

[HighorsaRaka]

Something I'd like to see investigated is the option to swap roles IF a player leaves the group.

I.E you get into Wanders palace HM, tank goes "BYYYYEEEE!" and your left queeing for another 20 minutes waiting for a tank to join in progress etc.

I would like to see it looked at the option of Having the players swap. I.E tank is under geared but has a very good BRD, so a dps swaps roles with Tank ( cos they have better gear as tank) for example. I can see some potential problems with this so it would need investigating first, something of a Token system possible that allows you to make the swap. Maybe you can only hold a set few token at a time and they cost Allied Seals/ Tomes/GC's to buy etc, Something to discourage people from abusing the system.

Just let the players vote on it. Someone could initiate role swap to the role of the person who's role isn't represented, and a box pops up for voting to accept role change. Allow rewards based on class they queued as ve class they changed to if they didn't join dungeon with party so this can't be exploited as pre-planned thing.

It's so disappointing that this game has this cool job swap system and gives you virtually no opportunity to use it in any meaningful content. I'd love this personally.

As a tank, I always queue my roulettes with the Party in Progress selected. Loved getting a quick 2/3 expert for my alexandrite daily or quick Light. Not to mention ppl just love ya when you pop in to save the day.

I would like this feature. But the problem is, you'd still be down one person, which might screw with people who are in queue. Say for instance.

Queue in as a DPS for Halatalii HM.

You're in the dungeon. Tank decides to dip. You then commence a role swap. The tank who was in queue for that spot might end up getting screwed due to the role swap happening. So you'd need to wait on a DPS to fill the slot in that you originally had when you first got into the instance.

While you make somewhat of a point, it's really at the discretion of the team leader if they want to replenish ranks. So as long as they add the feature to where the party can decide on who assumes which role after the tank/dps/healer leaves, and then the leader chooses to replenish ranks, that would be ok.

Seconded. It should be an option that pops up after someone leaves, maybe even the default option rather than "search for replacements," just to give players time to think about what to do with the rest of the instance. On a gamepad, the box usually pops up so fast that I don't even see it before it steals the X button input from whatever window I was in. That usually comes at the same time as "crap, I was trying to leave!" And then you end up suffering through the rest of the run anyway, even though it's usually not the problem player who quits halfway.

What's the worst that could happen? The tank doubles the amount of time he's in the queue? Zero times two is still zero.

Tank enters into the dungeon and swaps to DPS.

If tank was queued he should be assigned to that spot but if there is no tank queued then why keep the party waiting?
