DF Penalty from withdrawing from a party in progress should be removed

[loreleidiangelo]

Back when I still played this game, I used to queue IP Wiping Cities for fun. Sometimes I'd ask what happened ("last healer was bad/ragequit" were the most frequent responses I'd get), but most of the time I never bothered cuz eh, I usually found out pretty quickly whether the group was terrible or not.

The kicker, though? I WANTED terrible groups. Weeping City is absolutely a place where, barring a few mechanics, a super-good healer can totally carry their group, and I loved salvaging terrible runs from the brink of vote abandon, while flexing my reaction times and healer muscle to do so. I'd be rolling in praise and comms at the end, all for something as simple as not wigging out on the fact that people sometimes aren't very good at the game and that can lead to problems once in a while.

tl;dr OP give me all your awful IP runs I'd love to try and salvage them instead of put them in the queue dumpster as is your preference.

Can we, at least get some pomanders that change us into healing or tanking creatures ? I get the feeling of wanting to leave when it's last floors and 4 DPS :/

Unless your party is braindead, you can easily clear the dungeon with 4 DPS. Or you can start your progress as a healer/tank next time. Queue times would be shorter if more people were to heal and tank.

You know the weapon you get has nothing to do with the job you go on right?

Although they are wrong about "queue times would be shorter if" because potd queue ignores roles.

What if this is the case?

Nope, I remember when we didn't have the penalty and it was a mess with scooters and trolls.

Hell I would support a harder penalty.

Only time i'd want to see it removed is if i'm specifically trying to get into a certain duty because a friend has asked for help on the last boss and the df keeps queing me into one at the first boss. or even a fresh party entirely.

i'm not queueing for tomes or rewards or anything such i'm queiing solely to try and help that friend finish his duty so when it tries to put me in a different group kinda defeats the purpose.

keep hoping they'll one day allow an invite feature so the friend that needs help can invite me specifically to that duty. instead of taking the duty finder gamble and risk finding myself in a different group who then get annoyed cos I leave.

DF penalty came ingame because people left in-progress parties.
Why should SE now remove it for them?
