Good DRKs will spend enough MP to be as close to bottom as possible without running out. Unfamiliarity with content might imply a need to save a small "emergency fund," but in general, you want to get as close to 0 as you can without actually reaching it.

With a solid understanding of DRK's mechanics, as well as good resource management skills, it's not difficult to find a groove where it's possible to do this quite reliably. When not dealing with the clientside MP leech, it's quite easy for myself and other DRKs to reach that sweet spot fairly consistently without going over. It's when you introduce that extra, unpredictable MP drain that all of a sudden, we're dipping into our emergency funds at key moments or losing Darkside. And this has nothing to do with one's own spending, this has to do with having the audacity to be healed.

That sucks and all, and I'm sure all dps players have done it at some point.
Still, that means you weren't really there when it started.

That would only encourage mostly dps players to queue and be able to go afk for some amount of time.
Only to find out their queue possibly popped sooner than expected, and for the rest of the party to be down one player.
Maybe it didn't pop, then they go away again and it does in that space.

You really should be present if the queue comes up to be able to go in.
If you really wait on your queue, this shouldn't happen that much.
It will benefit people who really leave their queue because they assume it won't pop soon, more than the people who wait 40 mins and go away for a second and miss it.
It would even encourage the former for longer queue times.

I queue as dps so I get that waiting for the queue is a bit restricting, but I'd much rather that than the system accept and enter the instance without even knowing if they're there at all.

Rushing to 60 usually means having a 60 within the 1st 2-3 days of the actual release, 2 weeks is plenty of time for one 60 even by the slowest player.. in fact a few people already have 3-4 60 jobs. so, no it is the right time frame for majority to be 60.

Even people with lives and full times jobs have 60 jobs at this point. The time frame is correct.

If you are saying that you never pop DA+dark dance and only pop DA+souleater every 1 minute, just to maintain your mp/darkside then yeah of course everyone can do it, but if you want to at at least on par with other tanks with this bug while being able to maintain that kind of mp? gl with that. It's just not right when i can keep my DA+Defensive CDs on more frequently when fighting a dummy than an actual raid which i can use blood price to restore mp is simply not right.

Hmm, I can't find a fix for rapid fire :c
It takes longer for the proc to register than 1,5 seconds, so you cant use your 1-2-3 combo with rapid fire.
Instead im doing 1-2-1-3-2 but was that really intended?

Don't get me wrong here. I have the hours to spend just waiting in front of the queue. For that matter I only heal or tank; so queues are only seconds for me anyway. But im sure many people dont have that time to sit in front of the queue literally every second. Having an auto enter function would be immensely helpful for a ton of people I reckon.

Afking for a long time can be easily countered by just asking for a confirmation to stay in the queue every (fixed amount of) x minutes.

Read the known issues part of the patch notes. There's 1 in there called "Burden of the Father." So along with the 3 achievements, we know there are 4.

I don't see the problem with tokens at all. You get. A token per floor per week. In other words you can get chest piece in a week by joining more often. This system sounds for people to join pugs more rather than static focus. I like this.

You are assuming all turns can drop the same token, which i doubt.

You're not describing the same problem as the gent I quoted. He's saying he wants his cursor to default to "commence" rather than withdraw when the popup appears, so he can just hit one button to enter.
In that case, as long as his TV isn't muted and he hears the pop- he can simply take the controller and press -> X and enter. Really no need for a change, and pressing one extra button isn't an issue.
On PC, well- if i have to piss I just unplug my headset so I hear the pop. If i have to do more than piss... I leave the queue.

What you seem to be asking for is an auto-commence, which would be even worse than having the cursor default to commence. The afk would be real.
WTF are you queuing for that you wait for 40 mins for? Why not just throw up a PF or get a healer/tank friend to help speed the pops?

Yeah. AFKers. No 'confirmation to stay in queue' is going to stop them. Or hey- imagine this. You queue for expert roulette. 2 minutes later, an S rank or Proto-Ultima spawn on your server. You get excited!
Then your queue pops, all 4 of you have auto-commence selected. Bye bye S rank / Proto-Ultima.
Sure, you could leave immediately- and have a 30 min lockout to look forward to and no guarantee you're going to make it to the S rank. Coz let's face it, in the time it took you to enter, leave, teleport to the zone and find a group- it died.
