Hey guys,

I made a short video going over the new LFG system that will be arriving next patch and showing how it works currently on the PTR. Hopefully this video will prove useful to you if you wish to find out more but cannot or do not want to play on the PTR yourself.

Check it out if you have the time and feel free to leave any feedback:

Thanks in advance

Wow..

That looks fantastic, much better than I was expecting, must say I am now looking forward to this quite abit, with the added insentive of the pug pet and rep for Taunka and HoV, I see myself spending quite a bit of time in these.

How does getting saved to an heroic affect the queues though? If you choose a random instance, can you get the same one twice a day or are you only queued with people not saved to that particular instance.

Thanks for the video, very informative :)

As far as I am aware, if you choose the random heroic dungeon, you can potentially join a heroic dungeon that you are already saved for. This is only for random dungeons though.

You should post this to the guys on mmo-champion

Nicely made video and i think alot of ppl are looking forward to this new system

Looks great, can't wait to try it all out.

Thanks for making the video.

Nice! Looking forward to it ^^

How can you be sure you won't get into a group with a just dinged 80?
Or if you're a just dinged 80, you'll get into a group with other green / blue geared 80's, which will make it almost impossible to complete the Heroic Dungeon lol...

Or did I miss something?

Oh sorry, I thought heroics was for gearing up to raids, not after gearing up.

Try doing TOTC with full green DK's
I know fresh dinged 80's need to get gear from somewhere, but I just can't stand carying people all the time.

EDIT: Meant TOTC, not HoL

The most demanding heroics (ToC and ICC I guess) will require a minimum level of equipment for you to be eligible to enter the random group for them, hopefully the system will let you know what ilvl you require.

There's a difference between "heroics" and TotC heroic.

There are still a lot of freshly dinged 80's trying to get into Trial of the Champion (The 5 man) Heroic.
I meant that you won't get grouped with that kind of people.

State your issue and vote to kick...you many be taken the wrong way and voted out youself though as alot of people are now confusing "understanding HC requirements" as "elitism"...

all I'm gonna say is if your tank dosn't have minimum 535 def then he/she should be removed...I'm not elitist I just don't like repeat wipes followed by a repair bill :B




Edit: Spelling

Nice video Ashe, but quick question.

Am I right in thinking that the more random people you have in the group the better rewards you have?

If so, has anyone seen a response or justification for this style of play being rewarded more than playing with your friends / guildmates?

Edit - from the PTR notes:

---

Q u o t e:
Players who take part in groups who have one or more members who have been matched with them randomly from within the Dungeon System will receive extra rewards, up to and including the coveted Perky Pug non-combat pet. The more random players with whom one groups, the faster the pet can be obtained.

---

So I guess I'll modify my question to be is there more of a reward than an achievement and vanity items?

Eid

As I understand it if you have created your own group and chose the Random dungeon option you get the same rewards as everyone else EXCEPT you don't build points (?) towards the Achievement for the pet pug.

If you join the Random LFG and even take just 1 truly random player you build points towards the Achievement. The more randoms, the more points, Achievement comes faster but that is the same as with any Achievement that requires you to collect X number of something, just this time you happen to be collecting experiences with random pug players.

I really appreciate all the great feedback I received for the original video, its the reason I am making these videos :>

I have edited the first post with a link to a video covering the Forge of Souls dungeon if anyone is interested.

How exciting, i'm looking forward to less kafuffle :)

Nice video, keep them coming!


P.S Hi Ashe ^^
