The lockouts are too punishing because your game takes 5 years to load

I had a freaking DC before the last boss of the abyss dungeon
I logged back in just to find they just killed the boss and I received no rewards (fine?)
then I want to requeue because well, I didn’t get any rewards, you know?
Find out I am entry locked so I lost not only my time but also 600g

Who in their right mind come up with these dumbo mechanics?

we are talking about a WEEKLY lockout. Already sucks for chaos dungeons but man, this is just terrible design

The ticket can take up to 24 hours to arrive to your mailbox.

I liked the way WoW worked. DC before boss is dead and you are offline while he is killed two outcomes occur…if your body is still there, you get the loot…and if you don’t loot it gets mailed to you. If your body is gone, you don’t get hit with the lockout. (Though their whole raid ID lockouts was stupid)

This game’s loading time drives me nuts too as I have crashed so many times in chaos dungeons and i cannot get back before its done and I lose my rewards for the day.

In chaos dungeons (solo), even if you log in while the timer is still active, you will load into the dungeon and then immediately will get kicked out. so load times in that case doesn’t even matter (another yet dumb design)

but why the heck the game needs like 5 mins to load lol

That’s if the party quit when poster was disconnected. But they cleared the dungeon, so there would be no ticket given.

Even with samsung 980 gen 4 it takes me a whole minute to load the game. There isnt many faster gen 4 nvme ssds on the market and i feel for anyone who doesnt have money to buy one and is still on gen 3 or worse a hdd.

yeah, its never coming

You don’t get a ticket if your party cleared the dungeon. Also if this is your character’s first attempt, you’ll also be locked out the next dungeon due to not receiving clear credit.

EAC and splash-screen takes almost 100 seconds to load in an empty Samsung 970 Evo Plus, it’s mediocre, tbh.

EAC, to keep the game safe from bots. XD
