Thread: Please stop the dungeon timer when someone leaves the group.

Edit - This is for duty finder with random groups.

Ive ran into this a few times. Someone will leave because they have to, the wife is angry or something. Thats fine and all but the dungeon timer is still counting down.

By the time we get someone new the timer is almost done and we cant complete the dungeon.

Please let the timer pause when a person leaves until we get a new party member then it can resume.

Also this is for duty finder. So since its random people wouldn't be able to abuse the system. (I suppose they couldn't)

As for pre made parties I cant really think of anything for that, I guess leave it the same.

For Duty finder though people leaving is a lot worse so please implement some sort of pause timer.

Or just remove timers all together..cough

Thank you.

In most mmorpgs, this would make sense, unfortunately this isn't most mmorps. There is only so many instances (dungeons) that can be open. This is why even premade, full parties still can wait hours for a instance to be free for them. SE has the timers to ensure that people cannot block that dungeon for hours. Nice ideas, but unless SE adds more DF servers to handle the instances required, the timers will stay to prevent people abusing them.

A timer is fine imo...Just hoping that a pause function could be implemented for when people leave the party in duty finder. Its kind of not fair to the others who sit around hoping we get someone before the timer runs out and we are standing in front of the last boss for that dungeon dreading the fact we have to requeue again wait for 45+ mins and redo it all over because the timer ran out.
