Hey everyone,
I want to bring this topic back up as it has been mentioned several times in the past and is something that can cause a lot of frustration among players, especially if they run longer dungeons. Right now, the grouping tool acts very clunky in regards to dungeons.
For starters, adding people into your group after someone left doesn't give them the chance to change into the dungeon instance directly. In fact, it may happen that stand-ins won't be able to enter a dungeon that is already running at all. This should be changed so that players are able to reinforce groups that are lacking players during a dungeon run.
Another thing are disconnects and how the game handles them in regards to dungeons. If a player disconnects during the last bossfight for example, he re-enters the game always at the start of the dungeon, not even at the last campfire that has been activated. This is something that puts a large, frustrating and unneccesary timesink on any group actively playing a dungeon. Disconnects should at least enable players to re-enter their active dungeon at the last campfire the group was able to activate.
Disconnects are even content lockdowns when they happen during the final bossfight of 'The Dread Vault'. When one players disconnects and the other four player die during the encounter, the four spawn on the spawning pad above the boss room and the last one spawns at the dungeon entrance, with no chance of reaching the rest of the group.
Unfortunately, the four players can't activate the bossfight again because they are lacking their last player, while the one player on the other side gets his own 'Waiting for group' purple circle. Despite the disconnect issues described above, this dungeon specific problem should be adressed as well because the only way to activate the final bossfight after the team got split up is to re-enter the dungeon with the whole team again and run your way up from the start.
Maybe we can use this thread to consolidate issues with grouping and dungeon specific problems, so that the devs are able to adress problems with the current 5-players content better.
Keep your comments and feedback constructive :]

This is extremely frustrating and needs a fix ASAP. Either a 'replace member' option needs to be added or the party leader must be given full control to remove or invite new members.
It's extremely frustrating joining an Epic dungeon without a single cleric. Clearing everything up to the last boss, but it's impossible to kill the kraken or dragon without a cleric.

"Really? Are you sure you want to do that?"
"Yes. I put my holy symbol against the door."
