Cannot finish dungeons

So, nearly every time I run a dungeon, and Imm sure many experience this as well...we run through the whole thing without much problem. 40 minutes into it, we are at the gate for the last boss. And one person disconnects. This completely ruins most runs. 40 minutes of effort for none. We cannot queue for another player. I understand the reasoning behind it, so that someone isnt booted for a guildee to be invited or something. But this is really killing runs.
When people are clamoring that certain bosses, namely the last boss in the dungeon, are overtuned and then you are unable to have a fighting chance at it because you are 4-manning it, it makes for a very frustrating experience. Not fun.
Spare me the "Join a guild" nonsense.
Spare me the "Dungeons are ez, l2play".
This is a decision by cryptic to disallow new members of a party and it is crippling pugs. Lets face it, regardless of what you hear on the forums most dungeon runs are probably pugs anyways, at least to some degree.
Please revisit this cryptic. Im afraid to queue for a dungeon anymore because of this. I have maybe 2-3 hours per night to play, and I can get in two dungeons and a skirmish or two. If one of those dungeons fails because of this, what a waste of time. Its not like I have unending disposable supply of time where I can sit and queue all day.

I feel your pain:(( 4 of my 5 level 60 dungeon runs, yesterday, ended this way. 3 of the 4 were disconnects and the 4th person left when they ran out of play time. I would prefer some other method, maybe one that requires 3 votes to kick someone, whatever method other then the one currently employed.
L2p ****.
Just kidding xD
Yeah i ain't sure what they are achieving with this
I guess it's to stop people queuing up when it's delves on alt accounts then just joining each one filling the gaps after they complete the previous ones.
But still who on earth would do that
You should be able to requeue now afaik. This is from the patch notes;
Yes, this works if you have not downed bosses. I think after you have killed one boss, it does not work. And never has.
It's just plain poor design.
Needs to be addressed, see link in my sig with a lot more detail.
You should not be able ot kick players in dungeons without a votekick, and you should be able to replace lost members with anyone the leader chooses, at any time.
I could see 20 man raids like gauntlgrym having some restrictions in place on this..
Plain old 5 man content without any bind on pickup loot? No. Should not happen.
-Epic Dread Vault Crushed.
Characters (Dragon): Axer (60 Guardian, Leader of Crush It!), Controller (60 Wizard), Warlocker (60 Warlock)
But I don't see why you can't enter a dungeon manually as a premade group. You can do this with regular non epic dungeon, and it makes it so you're free to leave the instance and search for replacements if needed. I don't see why we shouldn't be able to select the epic version from the same dungeon entrance, rather then being restricted to the matchmaker.
Barring castle never ofcourse, wich does not have a dungeon entrance.
Rogue got DC
the tank and the GWF keep getting glithced out of the instance.
going to try to 4man traven, but if we lose another its going to suck.
Makes for a very un-****ing enjoyable experience.
Logging off for the night. Completely frustrated. Wasted an entire night.
This has to be the worst solution fix ever. Half a brain and even less thought would have fixed the problem by disallowing booting sometime after a dungeon has begun and then allowing any open slot to be filled after. If booting non-friends is the issue, then the logical fix would be in order for anyone to be booted at least half the players have to agree to the booting.
I had not heard that it was a deliberate decision by NW to not allow PUGs to fill empty slots in dungeons after someone leaves or DC's. If that's the case, I'm going to have to think hard about whether I am going to bother continuing to play.
I always get game errors in dungeons , so before I do on my next run I tell the people in my group that if I dc it is probably a game error which will take me 2 mins to fix + login so they know before some rager kicks me out for no reason lol .
