I'm sick of the "random" dungeon finder

[Catamer]

it is seriously weighted to HoS, Oculus & HoR.
I found a blue post about how they weight the instances to those you haven't done.

I logged on with my beta team and got HoS which I can't complete so I bail and logon with my main team and guess what.... HoS.
at least my main team has no problems with HoS.

well i guess back in the day before this system came out when u wanted to farm some heroics, u ran UK, UP,..... (aka all the easy ones), so now it knows uve done UK a billion times, but uve never done the new ones of HOS.. maybe thats y?

but yeah that sucks kinda, but at least its just not totally random,

hehe..jk.. when i get one on my mixed team that i know will be hard to finish, I just kill the first boss or two. That way i eat up the debuff timer and don't waste time. I get a badge or two and just try again once the debuff timer is gone.

Have you tried changing what you're looking for with the drop down menu in the LFG tool, and selecting specific dungeons? I believe they still reward the extra badges, they (Blizzard) want people using it, so as long as you go through the LFG tool, you get them - I THINK.

But at the very least, you CAN select specific dungeons.

I am sure that it weighs dungeons based on gear. On my main team I get the same ones over and over (HoS, Occulus and UP). UP isn't hard, but it's all I ever get on this team. I have gotten UK once and DTK once since the dungeon finder came out. On my second team (blues and BoE epics) I get UK, DTK and CoT.

I cant find the correct link but it has been stated that the random dungeon is serverside based and changes every 15 minutes. Logging out 1 team and loggin back a 2nd team will give you the SAME dungeon within those 15 minutes.

The best way to avoid dungeons you dont want is do as I and others here do:

Login, queue for random. if you dont like it leave dungeon and go do your dailys, crafting, pvp or select a dungeon of your choice.
After the 15 minutes 'deserter' debuff is gone (or you finished the dungeon you selected manually) queue again for the random.
If again you dont like it, leave instance and continue your dailys (you pop back from where you entered).

In this setting i am able to do my dailys, finish my crafts, do the daily pvp battleground or farm PoS heroic trash for hilt inbetween the random heroics i like.

I got HoS 4 times today, I logged off with the beta team and waited at least an hour and got HoS all over again ( 4 times! ).

I experienced the same thing with a team in the 20's. They were eligible for 4 different dungeons but continually received gnomer as a random pick. The tool is flawed imho.

I don't see this. My first two heroic randoms were Occulus and HoS, but it's been a fairly even distribution ever since. Maybe it wants you to at least try to complete the randoms it throws at you (I got stuck on the last boss in Occulus, and finished HoS), and that will clear it from your prospects. "You need to eat at least one bite of everything before you can leave the table ..."

it does seem to push the same ones regularly. ive done HoL more times than i care to count since they came out with it... i remember them saying that your chances of being randomly selected for an instance goes down when you're already saved, but thats a bunch of crap if you can get the same one multiple times in a row.
