If you join a party that clears turn 2 but your character hasn't cleared turn 1... Can you still do turn 1?

No, you cannot.

That makes no sense what so ever. You should have a time lock for each turn. So each week players are losing out on a chance to get loot based on what party they can get. My group was on Turn 2 so now I can't do Turn 1 for a loot chance. A little silly in design.

You guys can do Turn 4 and Turn 5 though. Apparently the boss in Turn 5 doesn't even move for the last 80% of the fight. Easy loot.

It's how most mmos with raids are though. If anyone in the group has progressed past any boss then they either need to keep progressing with said player or they need to drop them to do an earlier boss. Raid resets are there so everyone doesn't get geared week one because they spammed the first few easy bosses for free loot, what you are complaining about is that your group can't go back and do turn 1 with you and get more loot for themselves just because you didn't get into their run.

The weekly rng carrot is there to keep players paying, if every group past turn 1 or 2 could just bring in a new player each time and go back and do the easier turns for loot then that carrot is no longer there when by the end of the week everyone in the group will have any gear they could possibly use from the easier bosses and there's no reason for them to do those turns again other than being forced to to keep progressing each week thereby wasting the loot.

Yeah I get if people cleared turn 1 and now are on turn 2 they can't go back,that has always been a thing. What I'm saying is I was picked up from my LS to do Turn 2 cleared it up to Turn 4, now I can't pug for Turn 1.

They probably made it this way so it would prevent the inevitable drama that would ensue where you clear turn 1 with a pug just to have to tell them "nah guys I cleared the rest thanks for the loot I may or may not have gotten". Only game I've really known to do anything like that is WoW but the fault there is coming into this thinking everything will be like WoW.

WoW has always been that way as well if you jump forward in progression you can't go back to a previous boss.

Wow hasn't been like that for awhile. Raid Finder allows you to fight any boss you never got loot from.

Please do not equate Raid Finder with Coil.
