Activity Finder: Groups already in progress

ArchMikem

Found a neat new problem with the Activity Finder, and by new i mean to me.

Dear game, when im waiting for groups as a DPS, which is already rough cause everyone is a DPS so it takes forever, please dont finally put me into a group thats already defeated one or more of the Bosses. Because then youll continue to tell me to defeat a Boss that isnt there anymore and doesnt respawn, which means deciding to play out the rest of the dungeon would be a waste seeng as how i wouldnt be able to claim my Undaunted key at the end.

And now that i left that group, i seem to be bugged/locked into the queue even though im not actually queued for anything, and i cant leave it.

this has been an issue for a long time

many a good suggestion has been batted around the forum,
my personal fave was the one that
if people are in the dungeon when they que, the replacment should be pulled from the 'random' dungeon list rather than the specific dungeon list
hopefully this is somthing that will be implemented soon

That is a good idea. I myself only do the random dungeons just to get the large boost of XP, and the faster I do the random the better. So if I queue for a random that puts me at the final boss it saves me alot of time.

This is exactly why it was my preferred suggestion (i did take a look for the post but no avail) and kudos to the person who suggested it!

Interesting. And maybe I'm wrong, but I clearly remember a pledge run, where we were struggling with the last boss in EH2 vet, and after serious amount of tries, a DD left our party. I called my friend for help, he picked up the pledge, joined us, we defeated Bogdan, and he got the scores for the earlier bosses as well, and he could get his key from the undaunted pledge-giver.

Prove if it is true or not, since that I haven't met this, cos we always finished the dungeons, but I still remember that strange case.

And then of course when i try to queue again it puts me in a group that the crown disbands so quickly the game didnt even have enough time to ask if i wanted to travel, then comes the 15min penalty...

Its amazing, so many problems with the finder, coupled with disbanding groups and of course the bad rng with the undaunted chests, its surprising anyone actually gets what they want.

Guess ill just try the pledges again tomorrow.

I like that idea as well, but i wonder if theres a way for the game to keep track of which groups that are in the finder but have already done some of the bosses, though that just seems like it would put one more restriction that may lengthen wait times even more.

This happens to me often. Also lately, 3 out of 4 times I join a group and can't port in because the instance is full. Also when in a group and someone leaves and is replaced by the group finder, it does not port them in somehow even though the instance isn't full and so often there's 3 of us in the dungeon and one guy just doing whatever outside indefinitely until we kick after 5 min or so. Why dpest this happen?

I got thrown into a dungeon where they were on the last boss. I couldn't get full credit because everything before the final boss was dead

They should let you have an option enable or disable matching with groups already in progress or who have already gotten past the first boss. I think Halo 4 had something like this.
