Only In-Progress Option PLEASE!

[TomTom1968]

Big fat no from my side. Instead I'd like to see the display going away completely that indicates whether the group is at the beginning of the dungeon or not. Take what you get instead of trying to get the best for you while the other people wait even longer. Duty finder is for everybody and nobody has unlimited spare time. I understand where you are coming from and that you are a "victim" and not one of the people who withdraw till they have their fast food meal but your sulution would cater these people and this is a no go for me.

the queue says Progress 0/1 now. therein lies the problem. SE said they wanted to stop in progress fishing, so what do they do, they still leave the progress behind but dont show what boss. this did absolutly NOTHING to help the problem. ONLY thing they need to do is remove the progress 0/1 completely and make it look like any other queue. That way people have no clue whatsoever that they may or may not be going into a PiP.

There's a few ways they can really fix the problem.

- Implementing an "In Progress Only" checkbox.
- Not showing if the run is in progress or not. (Removing the 'In Progress 0/1' completely)
- Implementing a penalty for withdrawing from the queue, preventing the person from queueing again for a specific amount of time.
- Changing how the queue works. Pool up all the people who accepted together (so they only have to accept once), then search for the missing slots individually.

The simple fix would be to not say whether the run is in progress or not, and don't allow people to drop in the first 10 mins of a run, by the time they have done that they might as well finish the run.

yes this is very annoying, one day it took like 20 readychecks after we got in finally.
They should do it like in WoW LFR, people who accepted invite go inside, and game is filling the rest.

That would kinda suck; I like the fact that you can still do other activities while waiting for a duty finder party to fill up. If it put you in the dungeon, all you'd be able to do is sit there until the rest of the party showed up - which for DDs could be a long time. It would probably be hard on the servers as well, having who-knows how many instances just sitting idle with half-formed parties inside of them.

No, Delsus has the right idea. Don't tell a player whether a run is in-progress or not before they accept (not even sure why they DO tell the player this; it's hard to see any use for it that's not abuse), and apply some kind of incentive or penalty to prevent them from demanding a vote-kick if they don't like where they wound up.

1. As you all have mentioned taking away 0/1 would help remedy SOME of the issues.
2. Whoever mentioned that withdrawing from a queue should be punished somehow... just imagine all the times you leave your pc/ps3 to notice "crap missed queue" now imagine this for casual player who waited 15min noticing they were penalized and now have a punishment on top of their queue time.
3. In progress only makes sense... however CT would not have as many issues if there wasn't a loot lock-out or chests had multiple drops instead of just 1 per. I don't think there would be an issue if we had this button.

I think what he means about the WoW thing is after your group forms and the instance is reserved it should take you in as soon as you hit commence. You would just be waiting for the team members who keep withdrawing. At least this way you could possibly get started on trash and that person hitting withdraw will get the 0/1 message they wanted since you will gave started the dungeon. Could work aside from the blue lock ring bit.

[RocketUnderwear]

If SE removed the indicator that a particular dungeon is in progress and just let the normal commence/withdraw window pow would be easiest and simplest way to fix this.

I once was pro party in progress only tab, but the gathering of party members that accept and not throwing them into a fresh queue is a much better idea.
