Anyone else tired of joining half cleared dungeons?

[Meeko]

Lately I've been queuing for random dungeon and I keep getting into half cleared instances of Za/Zg and its starting to annoy me. Usually there is a reason for people leaving, and its because of some bad people who are in the party. While some of you may say the "bads" were kicked and you took their spot, that maybe true sometimes, but mostly its the other way around.

I would really like a option to start only fresh instance. In cases like ZA where there is a timer and chests involved. If i want an item from the chest and I get put into a failed timer.

I've heard that if you get put into a half cleared instance, the pop says the dungeon is in progress, I haven't seen it, maybe im not looking close enough. But if im in queue for 30-40 mins and don't accept, I get put out of the queue.

Isn't there mostly an option already? Just select them individually when you queue and it should show X out of Y bosses that are already killed.

Actually I've entered tons of half/mostly cleared dungeons, and they went as smooth as butter.

I believe you used to be able to see if it was in progress or not but they changed it so now you can't when you queue for a random dungeon.

should be a option, half cleared for valor faster, from start if u like that

[Cullum]

at this point in the game that maybe true. but imagine if you wanted something from the first boss. or in ZA maybe a bear (puggable or not, different discussion)

As a healer, if I'm looking for quick points or a bag, I personaly love it :P

I think maybe if you want a guarantee of a fresh clear of an instance without the chance of having to leave and re-enter the queue, you should look for a group in trade or something outside of the dungeon finder.

it wont make a difference if its a random queue.

If i'm going for gear yeah it's a little annoying when I wait 45 minutes and the boss I wanted is already dead. If I'm queued just for valor it kinda makes me happy getting in on like the last boss :P Although usually if that happens it's going to be rough haha.

This is bad how? When I que I pray i get at least half way through so i wont have to do all the pointless crap before the badges.

[Syroa]

This certainly annoys me. Lately the same has happened to me, when I que as tank I almost always get a group in progress. Its not so much of a big deal since I mainly just run for valor but on my alts I'd like to grab some of the gear in there. Although I mainly get good groups in progress which apparently just had a bad tank, I have occasionally gotten into groups where the dps was just so low I know exactly why the previous tank left lol....

Yes, exactly. It only shows if you're signing specific for a dungeon. Which is utterly stupid.

If you pick "specific Dungeon" you will never get a half cleared run

No it's not. They changed it because tanks were joining the queue and instantly declining the invite when they did NOT get dungeon in progress, which was annoying the hell out of other people.

ive found joining these half cleared dungeons better as most of the crap is dead and just the last boss or two is remaining, i can see your point if u are after gear and that boss is already downed but it is easy valor points if your just looking to cap your weekly amount

Yes it will? if you get 4 other people in trade and sign up you'll always end up in a fresh instance..

[Gruffertus]

Sure it will - you can still queue for a random dungeon with a pre-picked group.

[the9tail]

It really becomes glass half empty/half full moments over time.

You can't tell me there are times you are there solely for VPs and it ending quickly is a blessing not a curse.
However when gearing up alts and missing out on the gear you are there for - can be very annoying especially for DPS.

I will put two statements which may cause discussion:
Would I appreciate an option to not join half finished instances? Yes
Would I appreciate someone dropping group and nobody signing up for unfinished instances so I wait forever? No
