Penalty for going to the toilet ...

[Medura]

Diadem DF is by far the most painfull thing in the game right now .. im considering making an macro to auto-accept it or something.

Why? Well, when you have to wait for 30m - 3h, you are NOT gonna check every couple seconds, and due to the DF being pure CRAP jumping from 1 person, to 5 people back to 1, suddenly 8 and starting, its so random that you have no idea if it will start in 1 minute or 3 hours.

Every single day im getting the penalization because I dont click commence in time, its tiresome and seriously, why are we even waiting for a full party of different roles? If i wanted a hunting party id use pf, everyone leaves or does gathering after objectives in DF anyways!

So tell me, why am I getting penalized for being penalized, isnt that just a tiny bit extremely mean?

Thanks for listening to my rant.

And SE if you're seeing this ... let us join as solo, then make parties inside diadem, just make max people per instance instead. (Why hasnt this been done yet? ..)

Not sure if it works the same way as DF, but aren't you only penalized after the 3rd time of missing the queue pop?

I believe a time out still counts as a withdraw. So the OP's body probably took over moments before the pop up appeared. But yes, 3 times and you're out.

You seem to be misunderstanding the concept of a queue. If you're in line at the post office, you can't "pause" to go the the bank and pick up your same place in the line with the same people when you return.

Yes you can. I do it all the time.

Seriously ?

Oh look, same old stuff about people missing DF queues.

Crystal ball queues are due to be implemented in 3.2, please look forward to it!

Unfortunately this is life and there's nothing that can be done about it, its not SEs fault, and in all honesty I'm happy the penalty is there (the horrors of 2.1 before the penalty).

As for the diadem, with the way that NMs work, having an incomplete party is a very bad thing, and at the moment I think thats what they are focusing on. Though I think a gathering DF option that works like PVP (scales down the match if there arent enough people) would be a nice addition, though im wondering how allocating an entire large instance to for example, 3 people for 90mins would affect the servers.

I know this is a rant, but you have to look at the bigger picture. The only way to shorten the queue is to have more people running it.

Or they could, you know, let you pause your queue and resume when you're back.

Since I don't have much experience with other online games, is there any example, or could you explain how it would work? I don't see how "pausing" your queue would be possible other than just withdrawing before getting a penalty.
