Can We Change the Group Finder for Pledges?

Twice this week I've been thrown into dungeons that are half completed.
I'm forced to choose between waiting 15 minutes for re queue or running the dungeons twice.

This should not be a thing.

If you are "filling" for someone who left party in a dungeon the filling player should get full credit for their pledge.

    It’s always fun when you’re tossed in at the very end and the dungeon is complete.

    This would be great, actually. It'd stop punishing people who get in half-way and encourage them not to just drop group.

    I'm actualy surprised that its not already a thing. if partial dungeons are a thing, then person added should automatically have their progress on that dungeon's quest or pledge updated.

    Sometimes it's nice to be able to queue in for the last boss on hard mode only, and then jump back in with a normal queue and blow through the whole place.

    I don't see a point. This is a game and if you don't like to spend those few minutes, and it's not more than that, then you might consider playing anything else.

    its more then few minutes, especially if you are a dps. and/ or an adult who has limited time to play and would rather not spend it all on running the same dungeon twice, or more, if they are unlucky enough to get more then one partially complete group to pop.

    there should be an option in LFG tool to toggle on/off for Pledges ---> meaning you will only be prompted to join a dungeon without any boss killed, from the startoff.

    or

    Have people joining a dungeon in general progress their quest to match the dungeon pace but only through LFG ofc to avoid exploits.

    sometimes it can be an hour if its one of the new dungeons.

    it's a game and i dont like having to play the same thing over and over again. The point of my post is I WOULD like to go do something else lol

    There are more options: ask guild mates or do a lfg/lfm in chat. I find it totally ridiculous to ask for a change in the program code.

    never got that one, final boss is more common, its an downside if you do pledge but an bonus if you do an random dungeon for xp.
    In short finder should prefer to put people doing random dungeons as replacements.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    The pledge req of killing 3 bosses is weird anyway in dungeons that have 5 or 6 bosses. Why aren't the other bosses there getting any respect? :)

    They should just be like the dailies: all or nothing last boss completion.

    I agree with the OP. Its even more annoying if you got more then one char that you want to run pledge on that free day you got.

    This has been requested numerous times in the past. But of course, there's hope that with enough repetitions of the request, Zenimax will eventually listen to us! So bring it on and have some Agrees! ;)

    Its a great suggestion. Happened to me yesterday with DLC dungeon. Very excited since it was new to me, but soon realized I was there for the final boss only.

    They should just make the pledge for the last boss. Fixed.

    A change that needs to happen, but won't.

    I hope they will change this as it is very very annoying and so easy to fix probably.

    Anyway yes, it should be a toggle in the LFG tool for pledges and for DLCs also.

    Ask the team kick you, then you can queue immediately. If the shxty guys don't kick you, don't do anything, just find a safe place and wait.
