Dungeon Finder Pop Second Chance

How many times has you, a DD, queued up for a dungeon, gone to go make a snack, and then come back and you missed your queue by a matter of seconds? I say DD since USUALLY healer/tank queues are so fast that you don't even get up.

I propose that if you miss a queue pop instead of throwing you out of the mix and you coming back and wanting to punch a innocent Phurble that instead it puts you back in front of the queue just one more time, that is all I need just one more chance.

Edit: Clearly some clarification is needed


Ohhhh I had an idea whilst waiting, what if not a second chance but instead it warned you when you were high on the list? hmmm? A little thing that pops up saying "HEY YOUR QUEUE IS APPROACHING" ya know to let you know to stay put, now that would be quite snazzy.

The back of the queue, sure.

If it put you back in the queue, it would add you to the very back of it, which is no different than being kicked out and re-joining.

Someone could easily make an app with this. Just have a listener execute code to press 0 to confirm log in after getting queued. Then automatically type in party chat "brb- 5 mins" or something to that effect. Only 2 obstacles.

1. Can't do it without knowing what the sound effect event for dungeon queue is, and to find out would violate TOS.
2. Would be really open to abuse.

I've had the queue pop, and not even alert me before, and i was playing still. And its not something like it popped up and i refused, like it popped, and i didn't get to hit anything. So a second chance would be nice.

it would be nice to know how many people are waiting.

Yeah, around last week I PUG with other people from my server at Amdapor. Was at Prime time, 15 minutes still "reserving instances", 30 minutes still "reserving instances". Then I decided to go to the toilet. When I back from the toilet (for like +-2 mins) the duty finder window already gone, I missed to click the "Commence"

This, if only we know what's our current position on the queue, things like this wouldn't happen.

I've recently been doing more difficult crafting and have found out, If I'm not near completed when the queue pops, I don't have time to finish it to the best of my ability. I end up having to rush it.

Don't queue up and leave your computer?

Actually the Op isn't wrong. If you miss the commence timer it does NOT re-queue you, it boots you out and you have to rejoin and start over.

This happened to me the other day not because I was afk, but because I was soloing fates while waiting and got bored failing to do enough DPS as a healer, so I switch to Bard temporarily. The commence timer popped up, but I had to switch back to Scholar in order to join the instance; however at this stage I was fighting Svara. I ran like hell ut of the svara fight - but picked up an add on the way.

By the time i shook the add and switched back to scholar the commence window had closed, and to my surprise it didn't re-queue me i had to start over from the back of the queue.
