loading screens~

[Alisi]

So my DF queue happened to pop while my screen was loading, thus making it impossible for me to accept. Now I have to wait 30 minutes before I can requeue because I apparently "left the duty" and am being punished for that.

Why am I being punished for this when it's completely out of my control? If some of the loading times are over 30 seconds (low enough that I don't even see it when it pops -- I just see a 'you didn't accept' message in my chat box), why is there a penalty attached to DF queues?

30 seconds to load? what are you playing on?

A PC. The loading time can be crazy sometimes. Especially in the cities.

You mean a peasant PS4 is faster than a PC, hmmm I wonder who the master race really is. 12 second load maximum to MD peak times. Otherwise less than 5.

A PC with an SSD drive is faster :P

Load times have more to do with your network connection than your hardware (unless your hardware's *really* bad).

Hmm, this thread would like to introduce itself to you: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...improve-my-ps4

There is a penalty attached to duty finder queues to stop people from queuing and not accepting. It doesn't happen after one time either Im pretty sure it's like 3 in 24 hour period.

Should make it possible to accept while zoning, like how you can chat.

This has happened to me before. Sometimes it takes me two minutes to load into Mor Dhona, thanks to my barely-able-to-run-this-game laptop.

I just eat the penalty. I don't mind... besides, even if you could accept, the game would still have to have you load onto the map that you're trying to get to, THEN load into the dungeon...
