    INCREASE TIME FOR DUTY FINDER POP AND TEXT NOTIFICATION

    Ok I'm not being funny but this is getting past a joke, several times I've had this happen to me now, you get what, 45 seconds to respond to the queue? what's wrong with 1 minute? or how about 2? or 3? or how about just 5 minutes and let everyone that accepts just ENTER the damn instance in preperation.

    45 seconds is by no means a reasonable amount of time for response, whilst having no text notification on your chat box to let you know that you're in, they should just take a note from Tera online and how they handled it, the queue would pop, you would then click enter and be teleported inside to meet or wait for anyone not in, there would be a 5 minute wait before the non responsive people got auto kicked or people could just kick the players not in if an ample amount of time went past.

    Just as it is atm, as a DPS I'm waiting for up to an hour to get my final story quest finished, I wait for a damn hour, I have the duty box left at the top left, it didn't update once, then before I know it, the box isn't there and I've been tossed out of the queue, this has to be the worst and slowest system I've ever had to bare witness to, there's no way in hell I'm going to sub up for the coming months if this is my experience in the game, wait for up to an hour and if I need to go afk even once...then I risk missing the pop and having to wait for an hour once again.

    I see no issue at all with up to 5 minutes, I did say that giving players the option to kick if they take too long to respond should be added in, but apart from that, I see no reason why this already isn't here apart from general selfishness of "lolspeedruns".

    If players are having to wait for up to an hour to get in and you don't even get a minute to potentially be afk to perhaps grab a drink, go to the toilet without fear of having it pop and kick you out, or anything else you may want to quickly do, we can't all be sat at our computer for a straight hour with the inability to not have to go afk at some point.

    45 Sec would be fine if you could accept during cutscenes or dialogue or other situations and you could change job in the pre-instance "circle". If I'm doing a sub class quest, I need to finish the dialogue which may involve starting a fight which may require me to also change class which I simply won't be able to do in 45 seconds.

    It really must suck playing a DPS with 30 minute queues, but being very limited in other things you can do in order to not mess up your queue with a cutscene or the like.

    A longer duration would only be a bandaid fix but it would be kind of nice for some people.

    No way, a 5 minute wait is crazy. I've had to wait 3 times in a row because people were AFK, but that was just a bit over 2 minutes. If the timer was 5 minutes, that would have been 15. No thanks.

    I agree with you on this. I would have absolutely no problem with 45 seconds if I was able to accept it while in a cutscene, on a different class, etc..

    I would like a minute, but 5 min is way to much.

    The 45 seconds has nvr been an issue for me. I would like it to be at least a minute though incase I'm in the middle of a dialogue but more then that would be a waste. And as for the dps taking 30+ minutes to get into an instance I have early hit that. I'm always in an instance withing 5-15 minutes.
