The "Q" Loop

Can we once and for all end the “Q” loop? You “Q” for a Dungeon and everyone is ready but that 1 DPS….probably a hunter. He/she denies the “Q”. Now everyone is forced to say they are “ready” again. How many times do we have to do this for? What is the max number you have had to do this? All of the players shouldn’t have to take additional action to keep the “Q”….just sayin

Queue :dracthyr_a1:

But I personally have no issue with it I guess. If you click ready for the first queue pop but then aren’t ready if it denys and you head back into queue, it shouldn’t put you in anyways.

I mean people can always Q as a tank or healer and sit there for hours declining

There’s an easy fix for this

Just give people who repeatedly fail to take queue a debuff that prevents them from entering the queue for some length of time, increasing with repeated queue misses

Why? Why bring us into this?

I use Q just because it saves time…And I forget the spelling :dracthyr_hehe_animated:

As usual the superior MMO, FFXIV, solves this…or so I recall. Missing a queue or declining a queue gives you like a 5 minute timeout, which obviously you need because you missed or declined the queue so you got something going on so they are giving you time to deal with it, 2nd strike is like an hour and 3rd strike is all day. Resets on the next day.

Boom. Nobody is allowed to troll groups with signing up and not accepting/being ready, the punishment starts off light but escalates yet resets leaving no permanent damage/loss. If you are innocent, you’ll never feel the effects and even if life does happen and once in a while you have a legit reason, the punishments are so light you also realistically never feel them.

They could also just make it so, much like LFR queues, if your dungeon group has one dps afk for the queue it’ll let you in anyway and just find another dps cause they’re a dime a dozen.

I think y’all are missing OPs point.

Just make it where if you accept a queue once, it gives you a 30 second (or whatever) buff where you would accept the same queue automatically again. It expires upon entering the dungeon

I thought this was going to be about Star Trek and it wasn’t.

I’m Picard in this gif btw. Just disappointed.

Exqueeze me? Your 4 button rotation compared to mine is nothing.

I don’t see why we can’t start one man down. Don’t need a full group for trash.

Put the 4 people who accepted into the dungeon.

Job’s done.

It should work OUTSIDE the dungeon the way it works INSIDE. Lost a player? No worries. We will keep looking while you wait. Should be easy to implement since it already technically exists.

Q system need be deserter buff

being in a raid and leaving give u deserter buff its wrong!

you know whats even worse than a afk dps? when the tank or healer instantly hit no. its rare, but the few times its happened i yelled at my screen “why would you que in the first place?!?!?”

What do you mean why? Isn’t it obvious to you?

It’s obliviously a hunter

But…but why

Hunters are like my orange cats: one brain cell.
