Join party in progress

[Archaell]

It would be nice if we could join party in progress from the friend list, FC interface and linkshell interface.

It is annoying when a friend asks for help with an instance just to be placed in a different party - which is quite often waste of time leading to instant leave, making both groups unhappy about this situation.

Please give us the option to join instances by clicking on player names.

Thanks.

Sorry to say that, but if you join a party in progress then leave just after because they re not your friends that s not cool at all. The 3 guys waiting were probably very happy to see some help coming, leaving right after is just lame behaviour.

You have the right to help non-fc players you know.

Also the change change you re asking for would be to much dev work for nothing . Just group with your fc mates problem solved. If they grouped without you they have to accept a random player.

One FC mate asked for help. The first person who wanted to help got placed in a different group. Then I went to help and... got placed in another group. This is seriously annoying. So now two people wasted half hour doing content which gave us nothing in return, while the friend was left stuck without a tank. Why should we be punished for trying to help our friends?

This is quite important QoL feature which we are missing.

While in principle I can appreciate the idea of it as I've been in that same situation trying to join a friend or FC member in progress I'm not really sure how they would be implemented it's not really as simple as you think looking at how the DF works. Unless they introduced search terms somehow and then it'd just make things way more complicated and give the servers way more to do for something that while annoying isn't a game breaking issue. I'm not exactly sure what search rules are used for joining a party in progress if ones that have been going for longer get priority or it's just 100% random.

But it is unfair that i get a fresh group to start the dungeon if i want to join in progress. It happend to me and some friends with a trial. i got 6 fresh groups and cleared the trial before i came to my own people who waited for almost an hour to fill 1 healerspot.

Well it wouldn't be exactly fair either if people could kick someone out to make room for a friend and have said friend easily join them.

Good point. I guess the feature could be disabled if an online person got vote kicked to avoid the abuse. It would be mainly needed when somone decides to lelave or DCed anyways.

The simple solution would be to enable party members to invite friends from within dungeons. This would still invite corruption but would improve chances of dungeons refilling quickly. Ethical violations would have to be dealt with like all others. Reports and bans.

I don't see how it shouldnt be implemented when some games have this feature since their launch

Having the 'right' to help? heck no. I'm with OP on this one BIG TIME.

When there's a need to fill (mostly Tank cause, they have the right to help the three other people but.. they leave anyway (see, your point is moot)) I am asking my BF to try to join us.. then.. as the OP and lots of others, you go into a different queue.

So now, it's not 3, but 6 people that are disappointed. the 3 you just came in, and the 3 others that I'm telling the 2 dps: please wait my BF is trying to come and help us.

it's a very stupid system, just like the roulette, which only from 3.2 they made us to go in team (about time)

so when it happens, it's not like we have all day and night to play, so my BF politely spologize to the 3 others. and then he suck up a 30 min penalty..

good job, SE.
