Time Limit In Dungeons

[Crispytot]

This was the first games where I've actually read the entire storyline and got really into it. I've got my White Mage to level 35 and up to that point have only done every dungeon once and moved on simply to continue the storyline , so once I beat Titan , I go to the scion hideout and get the mission that takes me to The Sunken Temple Of Qarn. My group ended up getting to the end after wiping about 5+ times due to inexperience of the dungeon. So We get to the last boss with 15 minutes to spare. Long story short we kept dying because we had no clue how to kill it. After all of the stress we went through to get timed out, I was so angry I nearly shit my pants. I was told that "the Japanese love timers". Is there ANY way that Square Enix can take the timer away? It's probably going to be one of the reasons why I just won't bother with it. I'm starting to think that it's a shame I need to do certain dungeons just to get further in the storyline.

Never hit the timelimit till know, i think its more that 1 group doesnt block a ini for hours and hours.

If there woudent be a time limit you can be sure the dungeon servers for the keep would be full with trolls that just stay inside to keep it open until the play again.

I get what you're saying, so instead of taking it away completely , why not give at least 45 more. I understand that from this dungeon on it's going to be as hard if not harder, so why not add a little bit more time , so that the new guys aren't stressing out and don't waste an hour and a half of their lives and get no where.

they need to reset the time limit, if someone drops group. and you have to reque for someone to come join.. no the timer keeps ticking, which is un fair, waiting on the duty finder to find a tank while the timer ticks.. is just wrong.

Regarding your last sentence, just letting you know in case you didn't: you do not need to do Sunken Temple of Qarn to continue your storyline. The storyline continues in Eastern Thanalan.
If that's not the case, then ignore what I said

Yea, I get what you're saying but I'm one of those people who need to complete everything at least once lol

SE certainly love time-limiting stuff, every fight I can think of in FFXI was time-limited but if XI's equivalent of instances (which weren't too many as much of XI's content was single-boss fights) had no limit on them as a whole: eg. the Promyvions were sort of like a long dunegon crawl with some mini-bosses and an end-boss, only the end-boss was time-limited.

This is the first MMO I've played with a time limit. It was never a problem in other MMO's?

Don't PuG dungeons. That was your first mistake. The timer is fine, the only time I have not made it was in an AK run that we were not geared for.

It's there. Just takes a while. I've run it over a dozen times and I've seen almost two complete sets of battlemage drop. Both of my mage friends wear the robe.

Tends to favor tank gear, though. As much as it's nice and all, I'd like my dps to get stuff too.
