Add a 'Join Party in Progress' incentive

Add some sort of incentive to enable this in duty finder. I almost always instantly join a party in progress when I queue up and have been in parties that sit for 20+ minutes waiting for a tank or healer.

Is the possibility to get a near completed duty not enough?

I guess not seeing as I've been in several waiting for someone to fill for long times and I've had FC people in the same place. If I'm not busy I always queue the dungeon they are in and fill in for them.

I was in one earlier this week were people just gave up and left. It's almost faster to leave and re-queue sometimes.

I think the problem is more the fact that this option is easy to overlook while it's hidden in a submenu.

Joining a party in progress and don't bother with running the whole dungeon is a reward in itself.

They just need to make the option more visible and easily accessed.

99% of people won't bother going into the settings to change anything to actually notice the option even exists.

Otherwise, it'd see more use because getting into a partially or even mostly complete dungeon is very efficient time usage when you only care about the completion bonus.

So partially/nearly completed duty and much faster queue isn't enough incentive for you?

Yeah, as others have said....the problem is that it's easy to overlook that this option even exists.

Indeed, and generally the people who tick it are DPS, as a way to shorten the queue.
So when you need to refill and tank or healer slot, it's even harder.

Additional incentives wouldn't hurt.

Skipping half an instance is incentive enough for me.

What I would like to have is possibility to join progress parties with certain people in dungeon. I was so often in situations when friends asked to help them in progress but I ended up in other party. That's frustrating. :/

I always have it active. It was so helpful using it when Orbonne Monastery was out. I got instant queues as a DPS and it was always with TG. Helped me clear on day 1 easily.

When I was a new player I found it odd to never get into a dungeon in progress, but to be fair, [in my experience] people leave mid run so rarely that I just thought nothing of it. Doesn't help I came from WoW where people leave left and right so I thought it was just a different type of crowd, idk. Imagine my surprise after finding out you can actually toggle that feature on and off, now all the times I saw 'DPS in need' and yet get a 20 min queue makes so much sense!

I would love to see some improvements of it
Just the other day, doing 50, a painful fight but we manage get to diabolos, but we wipe 3 times and have no choice but kick the incompetence tank, we wait 15 minutes and couldn’t get any tank to fill in. Have to vote abandoned eventually.
The other issue about JIP, I JIP and the party just disbanded right when I get in, which mean I have to requeue and this JIP suppose to be shortened my queue time suddenly become a punishment and making the queue time worse

This. The join in progress function should always check if there are FC mates or friends are in one of these duties in need of a replacement.

Why not make the option on by default and have the option to toggle off? Most people probably do just overlook it...

Tbh, I would like to have option to only join dungeons in progress. For selfish reasons, obviously.

I'm with you there. Since coming back a few weeks ago, I still haven't gotten a join in progress :(. I love join in progress.

I always have it on and I agree. We seem to be the rarities. So I'm all for additional incentives to get others to do it. Especially with the splitting off of the data centers they're doing.

While I always have it on, it can be a blessing and a curse. It rarely pops, but when it does there is a... decently good chance that I am joining a neck deep wipe-fest.

Anyways, that's just to say that I can understand people that know the switch, but prefer not to use it.
