Team Up Penalty

Hello,
Okay so usually whenever I team up to help others everyone is in the fight(some people do leave though). But just a few moments ago I was in a fight and everyone was there and when we finished I ported out like I always do, and I got a timer for I think it was 8-10 minutes but I don't understand why. We were all there, I stayed the entire time and we completed it and I left how I always left when finished; by porting out.

So you had a timer for joining another match afterward, but you never actually wanted to join a second match?

I guess I'm not seeing what the penalty was. If I read your post correctly, you joined a team up for a dungeon, and after you completed you ported out like normal, but you noticed you had a timer counting down? I have noticed this happens after all dungeons. You should have still gotten credit for the dungeon, you are just getting the option to return.

Something similar has happened to me in the past, too. I can only think that some dungeons or battles require that people leave through the door, before it counts. Otherwise it will count you as leaving before it is 'done,' even though the battle portion was over with. And leaving before done induces a time out penalty.

When you join a team up and leave through the door, you always return to either the kiosk or the place where you joined. Porting out is unnecessary.

If I recall correctly, no one else in the team up gets credit for it either, (for the badge etc.), if one person ports out or leaves early. Miles may vary. It was a while since I last did a team up.

What exactly was the dungeon / instance you ported out of?
If I understood you correctly, you did one team up > completed it with everyone present > ported out > tried to join another team up but couldn't b/c of the 10min penalty.

I had this happen once when entering the main castle in Colossus Boulevard.

It was in the haunted cave. I have always ported out when finished and gotten credit. And everyone else ports out too so I dont understand lol
