Regarding CWKPQ limits.

Hi guys, this seems to be a newbie question so I'll just drop it here.

So we all know that you can do CwkPQ twice a day, I have a few things that need some clarification:

1/ How do you define "twice a day"? Does entering PQ count as 1 time, or entering Boss/Bonus would?

2/ How does the one-day timer work? Does it expire 24 hours after first entry, or last exit?

3/ Err... actually there are only 2 questions so.. uhm.. How're you doing?

1. Bonus.
2. I dunno.
3. Fine thanks.

1.) Seems to be bonus, as the "lockout" glitch happened most often to people who went into the bonus. (the glitch is fixed, in case you're wondering)
2.) I'd assume it's a 24 hour basis for individual attempts. It might start ticking down just when you enter the PQ, but I am unsure since it would only deny you entry if you went into the bonus and didn't just simply d/c. With Papulatus, the timer was based on entry.
3.) Having good hell with my parents. Silly azn families xD

EDIT: If what nannerz says is true, then ignore my answer to 1, and 2 changes to "whenever you start".

You don't need to go into bonus to make the PQ count. I did two PQ's last night and the first one didn't finish (it hit the stage with the separate rooms for each class). After the second PQ we were locked out for a day.

The twice-a-day lockout is very strange. Things that I have experienced that HAVE counted as a run are:

1. Failing stage 5 (both relogging and letting timer run out)
2. Going into bonus
3. Relogging at bosses (bosses dead or not)

However, DYING at bosses and pressing OK did not count a run. Weird. If you don't have enough time to kill all the bosses to go into bonus, I would suggest committing suicide unless you really don't want to lose the 1% (safety charm is applicable) or you don't care at all about losing a run for 24 hours. If Margana is still alive for some reason, getting healed under zombify makes this easier.

I can't say it better than Cyanne. Apparently I was aware of these situations, but I didn't want to confuse my questions.

Personal experiences:
- Did 1 Bonus + 1 boss = locked
- Did 2 Bonuses = locked
- Failed stage 5 twice = locked
- Did 1 Boss + failed stage 5 once = not locked yet.

So again, does anyone have a general explanation for this phenomenon?

Also, I bet many of us have sat outside counting minute after minute to enter the PQ. Could anyone tell me the event that triggered your 24-hr wait?

My explanation? It is just as wonky as the code that spawned the Stage 2 glitch. I'm still puzzled as to how you can do that accidentally.

My experience:

First PQ: Only took down 2 bosses, relogged.
Second PQ: Fully successful (all bosses down), everyone except the leader dced when the leader clicked to go into the bonus.

I could still go in after that.
All the results seem to be pretty random from what I can tell...

Another thing to note is that the leader that was able to enter the bonus could not enter the PQ again, while the rest of the party(/squad?) still could.

So should I conclude that the lock-out is totally random except for a double Bonus?

I'm kind of thinking that it counts as a run depending on when/where you LEAVE the party quest, which would also explain why people are saying that the 24-hour limit starts at the second run instead of the first.

Yeah, I'm coming to that conclusion since an attempted organization at a PQ run today failed. The schedule was to run at 7 pm pst, while the night before back-to-back runs were scheduled for 6:30 pm pst. We waited until 8 pm pst, and we still couldn't get in.

Moral of the story: Nexon should implement messages that actually tell you what time you can go back in again >_>
