Random Dungeon broken!

[Void]

Tell me if i got this right or not. When you use random dungeon feature its not suppose to give you a lockout right? I was under the impression if you used that tool you would never get locked out. Well ive done almost every dungeon today using the random dungeon tool and im locked out of all i can still use the tool but when it gives me an instance im locked out of its already clear. Is this working as intended? Just thought u could run heroics all day without worrying about lockouts!

From what I understand the first time you do any dungeon for the day either via the tool or just the old fashioned way you will get a lockout stopping you from choosing that dungeon again for the day.
However the tool is then meant to ignore any lockouts so that if you get randomly chosen for a dungeon you have already done you can do it again.

Yeah I haven't done anything without the random tool, and for example I got CoS 3 times when it was already locked out.

Yeah its still buggy at the moment. A few unusual things I experienced over the weekend:

1. Queued up, got instance ready message - click accept on toons, loading screen pops up, then drops me back to Dal with "additional instances can't be launched" and the DF debuff.

2. Random dungeon is Occulus (which I don't particularly like) so I port back out and figure I'd do the 1st 2 bosses of Drak'Tharon while I'm waiting for the DF debuff to expire. After the 15 mins are up I port back to Dal and fire up the DF - and I get Drak as my random dungeon - and port back into the exact same dungeon I left minutes ago (with trash cleared and 2 bosses down). I did get the extra emblems at the end though.

I'm sure this will get fixed over the coming weeks....

This is pretty normal in my battlegroup. Look at the minimap, and eye-icon should be there, right click and -> Teleport to instance. You might have to do this a couple of times to actually get in...depenting on the battlegroup ofc.

[Volch0k]

Yes, it's a bug. Go with exact same group, random dungeon gets you to a dungeon you already cleared...then its cleared.

Also, yes. You are suppose to get saved to e.g FoS if you get that random as your first.

I dont know about that. Im not multiboxing right now due to work travel, but I played all day with the random dungeon finder and got Oculus 3 times and all the bosses were up each time. Maybe it has to do with premade groups only and not cross server randoms?

guess it sucks for MB'ers then i get the same dungeon i already cleared so im screwed if random picks a dungeon i already cleared for the day =-(

Wait for the debuff to go away and que again, it shouldn't put you in the same dungeons over and over. I found it very rarely puts you in a dungeon you have a lockout for.

I filed a GM petition on the subject the first day of 3.3 release about this issue. It took them until last night to answer it.

The answer was as simple as this:

After each random heroic instance, disband your premade group, reassemble using a different member as the group leader. Queue for another random heroic. If you get a duplicate heroic that you've already run with the group, it will be reset and bypass the instance locks.

I tried the GM's solution.

It does not work.

Any instance I've done with my box team earlier in the day is still locked, regardless of disbanding and re-assembling the team with a different leader.

I have two tanks, so what I did was replace my primary tank with my secondary tank, leaving the other four members the same. I queued for random heroic with the new tank as lead. First heroic was a duplicate I had already run with the four and my primary tank, Gundrak. The instance was indeed reset and locks bypassed.

Basically it seems that if ALL members of the team have done a given heroic, then the heroic will not be reset by the random heroic instance finder. Likewise, it seems that if AT LEAST ONE team member has NOT done the heroic, then the heroic will be reset.
