Default Dungeon 3 minute timer
Is it just me or does this need to be looked at. Timer only starts after everyone has opened the end chest, surely it doesnt take 3 minutes to sort out reward, pick up drops etc etc

Dont get me wrong I agree that there should be a timer but imho 60 seconds is more than enough time.

Please no flaming

I think it's fine. If you were pushing for speed, then you can still get your time, and the 3 mins at the end allows you to go back and collect your drops.

Also, you can always zone out into town, and run to collect the reward (if it's outside the dungeon).

Nothing wrong with it, plus if someone d/cs after opening chest, at least they have time to reconnect and grab drops. And you can go back and grab drops or open chests you missed.

What are you in such a hurry for? 3 minutes allows you to go to the bathroom, get a drink, re-connect if you D/Ced, etc... 60 seconds isn't long enough for anything.

After the countdown you usually zone to the quest reward guy. It is quite annoying to go to the southern most point in Sacnoth Valley from Doomlore Shrine just to get your quest reward. This is true for most dungeons. Leaving the party or resigning makes you go back to an outpost.

Take that time to drink one 5 level beverage. You'll be drunk the 3 minutes. Yay.

This seriously isn't an issue. 3 mins won't kill you.

3 minute wait? What to do with that eternity? Hmmm.....

1. Grab a cool, refreshing beverage from the fridge.
2. Or maybe get a snack - Nuke some popcorn or something
3. Gotta pee? good time for that!
4. Check guru to see if there are any lame suggestions in Sardelac.

LOL hidden agenda. So you can farm bogroots even faster?

/unsigned x100

A.net shouldn't cater farmers. For the rest it doesn't make a difference

You could expand the idea slightly.

Shortening the time may not help because, unfortunately, I think there some people out there who are that slow.

Perhaps the implementation of an "/end" command, so when the entire party has used it you are returned to the quest giver would be a more appropriate fix.

I like this idea, add a function to exit the dungeon once everyone in the party enters it.
/end, /exit, /esc, or whatever.

Doesn't /resign put you right in front of the dungeon entrance/quest giver? Don't know for sure.

Actually, I always assumed it just took you back to the last outpost you were in. If the quest giver was there, then fine, but some aren't. Now you've planted a seed of doubt in my mind I'm not really 100% sure.

Resign after the dungeon has been completed returns your group to the nearest or last outpost , sometimes is better to wait because quest giver is out there. Maybe there are 1 or 2 exceptions but i cant remember what dungeons might they be.

In some dungeons (Like the Red vs Blue one) the quest gives accompany you to the end.

Or there could be a skip button right under the timer; sort of like what they do with cinematics.
