thank you for wasting an hour due to DD non resettable instances...

figured i'd try out castle never for once for DD to kill time, and kill time it sure as hell did.
firstly 2 ppl did not accept the joining que so why they even bothered to que is beyond me.
aside from that, once inside CN, it was pretty dam apparently this zone in was not going to resolve in finding a full party so i manually left via the door, and once out, i could no longer re-que for CN as the return to instance icon was there, so i go back in, re-partyed with the other 2 still there, left via right clicking and pressing leave, k i left party, but still locked to the zone, no icon on mini map to leave and remove instance, logged off and back in, change characters, changed zones, and nothing, still locked to CW and its been 40 mins now so I have 20mins to figure this out and attempt to find a full party which so is not happening at this point.

wow....just wow....so I thank you PWE for wasting and complete hour and during one of the few hour's i could actually get some progression done. so for the next several hours in 20mins, i have the craptastic foundry to look fowards to and then after that horrible HAMSTER i can waste 1 and a half hours on GG for basicly no benefit since I can't even sell the loot from there no more.

    Sounds like you got dropped into a Ring Farming run that's been abandoned, no one just randomly ques for CN from what I hear, if you're looking to go for a full run, your best bet is to join a guild that forms full squads for it.

    either way why i can not re-set my own zone or re-fresh it to try get into another one is beyond me, i have 10.5k GS on my CW and there is only really a few more upgrade's I can get and all stem from CN (jewellery) but I only get 1 hour ever several hours to even attempt to join it and i just had a hour wasted and if i want to bother again have to wait 1/4th of the rest of the day? ~_~

    Before leaving a dungeon, make sure to shift the leader to somebody else. When you re-enter the system thinks it is a whole new party. I haven't tested this in NW, yet but it does work in Champions Online, also in perfect world (the 8 year old game from PWE)


    Peace.

    did that, still locked to it.

    I imagine they keep it open for a while so you can re-enter if you've made a mistake, but it should prompt you like it does when you change characters: "Resetting instance in 5:00 min, do you want to reset it now?"

    considering the next DD is in.....5 hours....added it all up, PWE just cost me 6hours of My day....not sure about the rest of you but....this is why i quit games like Eq2 (raids n schedule) as i value my "time" above all things (yes even the context of my wallet) so due to the fact I was unable to reset the instances PWE took 6 long hours away lol, god i should really look for a new game or hobbie by this point ~_~

    I've already started trying new games. This game is beyond healing, not that they're even willing to start the healing process.

    Grouping in this game is broken, it really is - so next to the inability to late-join dungeon groups, this sort of thing happens frequently. I like that there's 'balancing' left and right, but the overarching game in itself is still riddled with these errors.

    You got in an exploiter's ring farm queue they left. They open one instance every 10 minutes at most, and there are several groups farming it, so the number of exploited instances is astounding, and there is no way you get in a fresh one.

    This queue **** also happened to me a few times, just as described on the first post. Only on epic dungeons for some reason, on the normal DV I run for the daily, when you get a queue with refusing people, you're not solo (or with incomplete group) teleported to the dungeon either way, you're put back in queue.

    My personal experience is that if you wait like 10-15 minutes, the instance will expire and the "Return to Instance" button disappear and you can queue again. Of course, given how hard the queues work in this game, by that time the DD will probably be gone.

    Just a big mess up IMO, the queue system overall is just stupid, with parties that have leavers/DC condemned to finish in 4 or less and so on.

    Did you really expect to finish CN by queuing? I mean even if you lucked out and got 4 other experienced players your team comp is going to be horrible 99% of the time.

    was my first attempt even entering the zone, if we finished it or not is a 2nd story, woulda been nice to even have a attempt on the first boss, but yeh, wasted the hour, then simply logged off.

    Your list of excuses is really poor. This doesn't mean they shouldn't fix "ring farm in 10 minutes" exploits.

    You don't need to wait for DD to run CN for your upgrades, ancient gear drops from the bosses. The DD chest in CN is the same as the chest in any T2 dungeon.

    What do you mean my list of excuses are poor? and I didn't say anything about ring farm lol.

    CN is one dungeon you probably want to join a group in LFG chat for Marlz

    Also diogene we will probably see more and more specific mini boss farming, pyrotecnic band is up to 100k on my server from like 30-40k last week, that's worth far more than running the rest of karru is worth. Also ring from dread vault 2nd boss and others will be going way up in value as less and less people run dungeons since they are nearly worthless with BoP changes.

    That is the fault of the new mechanics I believe, there is no incentive to run dungeons other than CN/MC now
