Hey ZOS: Dungeon finder and Undaunted dailies.

clipfoxub17_ESO

Can we get either a change in available options for the dungeon finder to include a "I am doing Undaunted dailies" checkbox which should avoid putting us in dungeons in progress that won't qualify for the Undaunted dailies. i.e. A necessary kill target is already dead... Or, another alternative...don't punish us for leaving the group by giving us a dungeon finder cooldown. Or, better yet, remove the additional tasks from the Undaunted dailies and just count a dungeon completion as completing the daily.

Last option has abuse potential, especially if a group/majority kicks someone then brings their friend in to clear the last boss.

I agree there. I'd prefer the checkbox option or remove the cooldown.

Greetings,

After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic.

Thank you for your understanding.

But isn’t that already how most DLC pledges work? I can’t imagine why someone would pug a whole dungeon and then kick for the last boss to bring a friend in. Just bring the friend… the whole time? Or 3-man it and bring them in later?

if you want to do pledges, dont queue in the random queue lol

use the dropdown select specific dungeons, and select the 3 dungeons for your pledge (on the difficulty your looking for, you could queue for both vet and normal of each dungeon if you want to play roulette)

If that was a response to me, I guess I wasn't clear. What I mean by an "I am doing Undaunted dailies" checkbox is a "DON'T PUT ME INTO A DUNGEON THAT IS NOT A FRESH INSTANCE." checkbox.

I know how to use the dungeon finder. And I *DO* select the specific dungeons that are pledges for the day. What I *CAN'T* do is guarantee I get placed in a fresh instance. A good number of times I get dumped into a dungeon that has been in progress that has a number of the Undaunted pledge quest objectives already completed. Like it did again today. First two bosses required were already killed. I was present for the final boss. Thus, daily Undaunted quest objective=1 of 3. So I'll have to go back and do the first two bosses it wants if I want to finish the daily. When I see that I'm in a mostly useless dungeon instance, I either finish it or I leave the party and try again. However, if I leave the party, then ZOS punishes us to be insulting with a long cooldown.

i agree that the non dlc dungeon pledges are annoying, requiring you to kill 3 bosses instead of just clearing the dungeon

usually when i queue for dungeons, its pretty rare i get thrown into a dungeon already in progress, but i tend to avoid queuing because i dislike dealing with the rude speedster randoms

Perhaps it's the time of day I've been queuing for the dungeons that may be a factor in why I've gotten plopped into in-progress dungeons so often. I'm okay with speedsters as long as I'm not doing the dungeon for exploration and/or first time quest and they aren't flipping out if we're "taking too long..." I don't think I've run into that too often though. It's too bad there aren't customizable options for things like if you're doing the quest or exploring and for people who want to speed run it. I like how some games do a matchmaking system that allows you to type in custom messages when trying to form a party/squad. (i.e. advertising a party in a tool that isn't just zone chat or via guild/friends. "LF Tank, normal Wayrest II, exploring, no speedrunners please." for example.) Then the publisher doesn't have to deal with a lot of select-able options.
