Please Increase Duty Commencement Timer to 60 Seconds.

[JamieRose]

I queued up for Alliance Roulette as Black Mage and switched to Red Mage to fight a B Mark. The commence timer started almost immediately after I began the fight and I could not finish it in time so I got thrown out of queue and now I have to wait another 30 minutes.

This is not only pointless but frustrating to boot. Not everyone who misses queue is afk or is purposely ignoring it. 45 seconds is not enough time, it should be at least 60 seconds.

Or you could just accept the queue and kill the B after you finish the duty, which would be the smart way to do it since waiting for a new queue is going to take longer than relocating the B (assuming anyone has bothered to kill it while you're in the duty).

Ni. On one hand I understand the frustration of being in combat when queue pops, especially when queues are long, but on the other hand think about all the people who are waiting for someone to accept/withdraw. Often you get even 5 or 6 withdraws in a row, from people who afk while in queue, and it's already painfully long as it is. Having to wait even longer for each person is not something I look forward to.

In any case, a good rule of thumb when you see your queue is close to poppingis to not engage in fights that you know will take too long.

If that happens just run out of range of the enemy and switch back so you can confirm. B ranks aren't rare. There are much better reasons for extending the commencement timer like long loading screens when traveling to a city or something, not B ranks.

My queues always pop when I'm in the John
