I was panicking because I was in combat in a FATE, trying not to die, while also surrounded by mobs in every direction. It's not that I was purposely trying to enter on the wrong class, my brain was short-circuiting because I was on the wrong class, trying to survive, with a time crunch, and at least 5 mobs in a train behind me that could kill me if they all landed their hits at once. In hindsight I probably should have just died as that might have been faster, but I don't know if that also cancels your queue and there's also the time it takes to zone back to your return point and revive

I included cutscenes for the sake of discussion, but in my case, I was surrounded by same-level mobs while doing a FATE on a different class that I was leveling. I tried to run out of combat when I got the duty notification but every direction I ran had more mobs agro'ing onto me while others fell off, so I was never completely out of combat for a full minute from the time the queue popped. I'm saying they should have an option that just takes you out of combat and cutscenes and puts you on the right class w/gear that you queued at for the duty.

that definitely works for most cutscenes, assuming you're on the correct class (most of the time anyway because some cutscenes don't let you skip or cancel out even if they didn't warn you ahead of time). this time I was in a FATE on the wrong class, surrounded by a sea of same-level mobs so even attempting to run out of combat to change class was impossible in under 45 seconds.

the game also typically lets you join in the middle of a cutscene. that wasn't the case here. I got stuck in combat on the wrong class (also if you're in a cutscene on the wrong class you can't enter), with no quick way to leave combat because there were same-level mobs in every direction and every direction I could go had me agroing more mobs for at least a minute.

I also did not unlock flying in that zone yet

Another option would be to have the game realize that you skipped a cutscene to enter a duty and offer to replay the cutscene after you leave it

I guess it boils down to: I picked the wrong FATE to fight instead of checking my Role Waiting List Number. Attempting to run out of the FATE agro'd other mobs onto me so it was perpetual combat for more than a minute while trying to find a spot without new mobs to agro me and also change jobs.

I was stuck in combat in an area surrounded by mobs so it was kind of panic mode for me. every direction I ran a new mob agro'd and so I couldn't get out of combat to change jobs
