There have been multiple times while dungeon crawling the party leader gets disconnected, and this of course leaves the rest of the party stranded. this is rather annoying. I know there is a go solo and so forth, but sometimes you don't want to go solo and let new people join the team, you want to stick with your team.

So i propose that there should be a vote system that allows for the part to kick the leader in this situation. The option would become available only in this situation though.

on another note, get rid of the item binding after upgrading D= i had a couple sets of armour that i wanted to upgrade and sell yet after the patch, i got shafted, lost all my CE, and the crown and wasted time. D=

Oh right,

and what happens when the leader (say it was you?) did something the others didn't approve of a ton?
how'd you feel getting booted. though of course the issue stands for the reverse, and I have been booted before due to jerk leaders, and let me tell you it doesn't feel good getting booted.

and OOO is working on adding a shop for unbinding, considering they'll make money on it too, no turning them back now.

Sounds good to me... if all 3 want the leader out, there should be a mechanism for that.

apparently you don't read to

apparently you don't read to well.

i said it's an option that becomes available "WHEN" the leader becomes D/C, that's "WHEN" the D/C symbol appears.

and if the leader says it was you he could boot you anyways. hey there are jerk players too.

OOO gonna start losing the older players, depending on how the updates to come i'm may leave >_> the unbinding thing cost just as much as the crafting i hear. that's just ridiculous.

Apparently you don't type too well... or your grammar isn't too good.

An AFK or disagreeable party leader should be bootable if it's unanimous. Your suggestion doesn't go far enough, but it's a start.

Start? they already are quitting.

Stuff happens, if you were on floor 27 of FSC, and you got D/C, how'd you like that then? it'd still suck.

Never. While there does need to be a way to follow others who go solo without paying additional energy, the leader is the leader for a reason, you don't like it, you leave or always start your own parties.

As far as "only" during disconnections, people do make it back from disconnections, and if they don't make it back, the game kicks them, wait your time, if you don't wanna wait you know what to do.

i was just lazy and wanted to

i was just lazy and wanted to put the least amount of effort into writing the thread.

i said when the party leader gets d/c.

i also said only in this situation.

what else needs to be said? do i need to spell out everything? or is it that hard for people to link those together? but if you still don't get what i'm suggestion then...

it's annoying when the party leader gets d/c and i believe that there should be a voting system that only becomes available to the other players when the disconnection bubble appears above the leaders head. of course the players remaining can go solo, but many don't want to split off, and for that reason i reckon that a voting system that only becomes a selectable option when the leader has become disconnected should be implemented.

in other words the party can't vote out the leader other than in the disconnection situation. i never said AFK or disagreeable. however now that you mention AFK, if they are afk for too long then perhaps the option should be made available then as well.

i've yet to encounter a situation where the leader makes it back. and i never said any other situation other than the disconnection situation.

the option becomes available only when the party leader gets d/c. maybe even put a timer on it. if the leader doesn't get back from being d/c within a specific time frame, shorter than of the auto-boot by the game, the option becomes available.

Master-Of

when someone gets a DC icon,

when someone gets a DC icon, and all others step on a party button, the DC person gets teleported there. Sometimes, however, when he gets the DC icon while everybody waits for him on the button, someone has to step off the button and step on it again to make it work.

so you say this does not work with elevators? is this true?

PS: i know for sure, it works with dead people on elevators and buttons.

(EDIT)
I did it in the game. When everybody (but the DC icon player) steps on an elevator the level is finished. However, the DC icon player didn't spawn in the next level, so there is the possibility, that he vanished right when everybody else stepped on the elevator.
