    Joining a COMPLETED instance fix ASAP

    This is turning to be ridiculous. You are waiting in queue for 38 minutes and you end up in a completed dungeon because the leader asked to "add members" even if the dungeon was completed...

    This is the 6th time since launch that it happenned to me and there isn't a fix for that yet. I reported it as a bug because I thought that "joining a session in progress" meant that the session was still "in progress"... but it seems that it isn't a bug.

    When the dungeon timer disappears because the boss has been killed, the Leader shouldn't be asked if he wants to "add members".

    This is a major flaw with the Duty Finder's "Join Session in Progress" feature and needs to be fixed quickly.

    Here is my now-classified "not a bug report" of last week.

    Also, it has been brought to my attention in this thread that you can complete the Amdapor Keep part of the relic quest by joining a completed session (without killing a single mob).

    It's happened to me a few times but since I'm a tank I never really waited long so I just leave. This could be quite annoying though for DD.

    I just don't understand the reason why that window (add members?) pops when the dungeon is cleared... it's pure nonsense.

    It's two fold - You can actually get free quest completion for some, i.e Darkhold/Keep Quests.

    See... I didn't think of that. Now that you have clearly stated that this is also an exploit (not killing a single boss and completing the quest), I think it deserves to be dealt with even more.

    Thank you for contributing.

    Probably depends on the day and the instance server. Some instance servers might be busier than others and the same goes for the day (Monday = 30 mins reserving instance with a full party for my instance server)

    Oh wow... a 2nd time today... 26 minutes wait this time... which brings us to a total of 7 since launch.

    When I say ASAP, it means "As Soon As Possible".

    Sounds like a very effective trolling technique.

    Here's an idea... Don't join "Dungeons in process" until they get a fix in place you're happy with? I don't understand why people even pick this function unless you're a desperate DPS who wants to wait in long queues just to get shafted... then go right ahead.

    "until they fix it"?... if no one explains the problem, there won't be a solution. If they realize how often it happens, they might want to focus on it.

    The "Join Session in Progress" is a great tool. If one of your party member gets disconnected and can't come back, you'll be happy that someone gets in to replace him instead of having to quit the instance and wait 30 mins to reserve a new one and start over (if 30 mins is the wait time for reserving an instance).

    I have accidentally pressed the add member button trying to exit the dungeon before.

    I feel bad for the poor sob, but it has been due to bad timing where the popup is displayed a split-second before trying to "use" the exit stream, while playing with a controller.
