After a 28 minute LDON last night we all zoned out except our wizard,
who gated back to the camp. He tried to get a new mission but it said
we were still resting from the previous one. We were likely out of
the zone for only 2 minutes at this point, and a few minutes later we
got the next one. All in all we suspect there to be a 5 minute wait
period from all parties exiting the zone before a new mission will be
given.

Can anyone confirm this? The other suspect is the amount of time from
the completion of the mission. Since we zoned out within 30 seconds
we're not sure which it is. We will likely test it next week but
thought I'd ask in case someone else already knew.

Thanks.

It's a lockout timer based on when you GOT the mission, assuming you
succeeded.

i.e. there's no lockout for failure, but it's applied from the time you got
the mission if you succeed.

I *think* it's 45 minutes, but that might be wrong.

In fact all of the above might be wrong, it's a while since I did LDoN
seriously enough for it to matter.

Well it's definitely not 45 minutes. Like I said, we completed
successfully in 28 minutes and were requesting another one within 30
minutes of entering the instanced zone. It did not take us 15 minutes
to get there either.

Hmm, I wonder if all the 1 minute here and 1 minute there bits could
add up to 45 if I take into account the time we had to wait after the
first request. Include the fast, but still a few minutes, travel time
and maybe it is. I'll have to test that.
