Ways To Improve Duty Finder Queue Pop Issues.

[Alhanelem]

The "I Alt-Tab Out While Waiting For Queue Pop and Don't Understand Concept Of Checking If Popped" Guy: Give them a lock out timer too, 3 to 5 minutes, nothing too serious. Of course this doesn't apply to full pre-made parties.

Almost every game with queues like League of Legends, Smite or Dota has a box pop up in the corner of the screen saying "YOUR MATCH IS READY" if the game doesn't have focus when you get matched. This is what they should do here.

Nobody deserves a lockout timer for failing to respond unintentionally.

The only thing that needs a lockout, and it should only be like 1 minute (just enough time to allow someone else to step in), is when you specifically cancel the queue by clicking the withdraw button on the Duty Ready screen.

I also disagree with the last point. If someone acts like this, just let them know about the Party Finder feature, which is the best way to get a group of like-minded individuals who meet their standards.

Just have it show a generic picture with just the dungeon name on it when it pops for new and in progress so the user has no idea the progress of the run so they can't keep dropping until they get what they want.

Bad solution. If they don't know if they're joining in progress, then people won't do it (Because potential reward in less time is their motivation to check the box, while people not having to abandon their half finished dungeon b/c someone bailed). People who need to replace a member will lose out here.

The simple solution is to make Join in Progress NOT match you with new parties at all. Make it ONLY join in progress (which is what I thought it did in the first place but apparently not).

Duty Finder Withdrawing The Whole Group Because One Guy Didn't ready Up: While 90% of the time you'll get an instant pop after that, there are occasions where you will go through numerous instances where all but one or two people ready up. The concept of booting everyone out of the queue and looking for another one seems counter productive. My suggestion is once you accept to be in the instance, you are locked in with that group. So if one DPS or one healer doesn't ready, it just searches to replace that person, not the entire group as a whole.

Uhm, the way you want this to work is already how it works. Did you not notice it says "Finding new member." ? It isn't putting you with a brand new party, it's only replacing the people who did not ready up.
