Unable to Accept Queue While Playing Triple Triad?!

[Purrfectstorm]

Hi all, I can't seem to find a way of exiting or conceding a game of Triple Triad to accept a queue that pops. I've missed 2 queues so far today. Next one I start getting penalties. I thought these mini-games were supposed to give us something to do WHILE queueing? But this issue makes playing while waiting on a queue seem like a dangerous proposition...

Yeah, not being able to commence duty when it pops while in a game is one thing - maybe even understandable. But the oversight of not giving an option to forfeit the on-going game to actually commence the duty, that is kinda...er, well, mind-blowing, to put it nicely.

Triple Triad isn't considered a mini game ...

LOL

A) Yes it is. When you go to commence duty while in the middle of Triple Triad, the game itself refers to Triple Triad as a mini-game "Unable to commence while in a mini-game"

and

B) Whether considered a mini-game or no, wouldn't we still want the option to at least forfeit a game to get to our queue? That doesn't seem like a lot to ask

Those are the mini-games that are meant to waste time while waiting in queue.

That said, a forfeit option wouldn't be bad.

I feel like most of the time I would do anything in the gold saucer would be while waiting for duties. If I can't even have a queue running while playing the gold saucer is going to completely lose its purpose for many.

Greetings,

We are looking into improving the Duty Finder as we move forward and we're checking whether or not we can provide measures for when players are matched while being engaged in content (for example, Triple Triad matches, during cutscenes, while crafting, etc.). Hang tight a bit longer and if we should receive more information, we'll be sure to pass it along.

Thanks. Hopefully the devs can come up with a workable solution, as there's getting to be quite a few things we can't cancel out of.

... while being engaged in content (for example, Triple Triad matches, during cutscenes, while crafting, etc.)

You might want to add regular NPC dialog to that list as well (if it's not already part of that "etc."). That cannot currently be cancelled either, nor in most cases can we skip through it quickly, since there's no way to view quest dialog again.

While you're at it, could you ask if we can get the ability to name-click blacklist the rmt (I don't use the command line, so I dunno if that'd work, plus rmt "names") that constantly spam me while I'm in a game or conversing with an NPC?

You can already do this...it's been in for like 3 patches.
