An hour?
The longest penalty I've ever had for a dungeon was the 15-minute deserter penalty.

Mama always told me pugging was like a box of chocolates.

Also, there is not a 1 hour timer for leaving the group early unless your timer (and yours alone) bugs out to exactly 60 minutes.

If true that sounds like a bug. 15 min is the standard and IIRC the countdown starts as soon as you enter. If you give it a good go for 15 minutes and then leave then you dont get a penalty.

Hmm, they could add a "give up" vote, like a kick vote. If enough of the party votes to give up, everyone leaves with no penalty? (Perhaps have a minimum time before it can be done, or minimum number of player deaths?)

There isn’t even a penalty after you spent a certain amount of time in the dungeon. I’ve quit halfway into dungeons because the team literally just sucks and not have to wait.

Omfg. Yeah bad Zos. They should also, besides a vote button with "I'm a Muppet that is not capable to finish this, daddy I quit", put a full loot drop, cancel a penalty time and give additional drops and 50 gems so you don't feel bad.

Ffs just uninstall.

The timer starts the moment you begin your dungeon. If you are in the dungeon for 15 minutes and quit, there is no penalty. If you quit 5 minutes in, then you have a 10 minute penalty. It is more accurate to describe it as a delay between using the dungeon finder.

Unless this has changed with Dragonhold (and if it has, they should revert it back), the system you just described is already in effect, and that is, after 15 minutes, if you can't win, you can quit without penalty.

They just need to remove the penalty altogether this penalty is just a pain for good players that can't or don't want to carry...

The penalty is largely in place to prevent players from queuing for the daily random dungeon, only to drop and requeue until they get the easy dungeon they want. Its to encourage players to actually spend at least 15 minutes trying the dungeon they get - although, usually the only way you take the full 15 minute penalty is if you arrive, form a snap judgment of your groupmates, and drop group.

On pugs random normal my cp healer typically pulls 40% of damage plus healing and some defense according to combat metrics... i dont mind at all.... whn i am pulling 60% of damage i dont think we are going to get through wgt....

Exactly as they would not have had any penalty if they actually spent the time to try.

Well, sure. But where I'm confused is this hour penalty.

That's not how Groupfinder is supposed to work. At max, there's a fifteen minute leave penalty that starts when you enter the dungeon. If you ran the first boss, it should be leas time than that.

So if you got an hour-long penalty where you couldn't requeue, that's got to be a bug. Maybe you should put in a Support ticket on it?

All this stupid penalties always looks like a joke to me. Especially in ESO, where simple BG or dungeon run may become torture because of bugs, lags and inadequate randoms.

You should absolutely submit a bug report. It's supposed to be 15 minutes from the time the activity starts. I'm guessing 52 minutes was because you spent 8 minutes in the dungeon, so you should have been left with a 7-minute penalty.

It is of the utmost importance that you try as hard as you can to replicate this situation as you are the only person I've ever heard (out of millions playing) that experiences anything other than a 15 minute cooldown. The fact that it's 52 minutes exactly is extra perplexing. You seem to have found some sort of super bug that needs to be brought to the attention of the devs right away. Either that or it was 15 minutes and you're exaggerating.

Mr_Walker

I think timer's have been a bit buggy, I tried to get unstuck in Cyro after someone knocked me into a tower door, only to be told I'd used /stuck too recently.

I haven't used /stuck in days.

The only thing I could imagine that could maybe have lead to this one hour penalty is if the 4 15-minute penalties of everyone somehow got stacked on just one person - minus the time they actually spent in the dungeon. No idea if this could actually be a thing but it would, sort of, explain that weird time.

Tsar_Gekkou

The hour penalty is a glitch. I've only had it happen twice before, but it's real.

The LO is not an hour. It is about 15 minutes from the time you accept the queue. So submit a bug report. Best to do it in game, second best is in the Bug Report sub forum. Posting this in general seems more like it is complaining for the sake of complaining.
