Looking For GroupEmblem of FrostEmblem des Triumphshere

Join as a Group or Solo

Much like the current Looking For Group system, players will be able to join the dungeon system and choose the role they would like to fill within groups: Healing, DPS, or Tank. In addition, once roles have been identified, they will be applied to all dungeons chosen. Players will now be able to choose multiple dungeons and will no longer be limited to three. The system has also improved group creation and matchmaking capabilities and will create more balanced groups when assessing the selected roles of players.

The LFG channel has been disconnected from the dungeon tool and can be used by anyone in a major city, much like the trade channel currently available.

Cross Realm Instances

When joining the dungeon system as a solo player or with a partial group, additional random players can be found within the same Battlegroup via cross-realm instancing.

While the new system offers the ability to group with player from other realms within your Battlegroup, you won’t be able to use this to manually invite specific players to groups.

Instance Teleporting

When you use the dungeon tool to find a dungeon, you’ll get ported to the inside of the dungeon, much like the current Battleground system. When you leave the instance, you will be returned to your previous location. If you need to leave temporarily, such as for repairs or to purchase reagents, you can teleport back to the dungeon again. This feature can be used both by groups looking for other players and by premade groups of five who use the dungeon tool.

Smarter Group Matching

The new system will now work to match at least one experienced player for the assigned dungeon with less experienced players in the group. It will more carefully match class types, and will more consistently match players of equal levels for the dungeon chosen. The interface will also allow players to see how many players are looking for groups as well as the average wait time of groups that the tool has formed.

Daily Random Dungeons

Players or groups can choose specific dungeons or they can instead take their chances with a random Heroic or random normal dungeon. Picking randomly conveys some additional benefits. If you defeat the final boss in a dungeon, you receive 2 Emblems of Frost for Heroic dungeons and 2 Emblems of Triumph for normal dungeons. In addition, after players have received 2 Emblems of Frost for the first Heroic dungeon they do in a day, they will earn 2 Emblems of Triumph for each additional random Heroic dungeons in that day. These random rewards replace the current daily dungeon and daily Heroic dungeon quests. The current NPCs who offer those quests will offer weekly repeatable raid quests instead. You can also earn level-appropriate rewards for running random pre-Wrath of the Lich King dungeons while you are leveling up.

Lovin’ the PUG

Players who take part in groups with one or more members who have been matched with them randomly from within the dungeon system will receive extra rewards, including the coveted Perky Pug non-combat pet. The more random players you group with, the faster you could get your new pet!

Vote Kick

Players who use the system to find additional random members for their party will be afforded a couple of extra conveniences to help them perform well. The loot option is fixed to the updated Need Before Greed option (and unalterable by any member) and players can vote to remove another party member from the group. It will take four votes in order to remove someone, however, so consider this newfound power carefully.

Looking for Raid

There will be a new option available to players that can be accessed via the raid information screen in the interface or by typing /lfr. Players will also be able to take part in raid-specific weekly quests and will be able to browse the system manually for any other players looking for a raid dungeon group.

Need Before Greed Updated

Need Before Greed will now recognize gear appropriate for a class in three ways: the class must be able to equip the item, pure melee will be unable to roll on spellpower items, and classes are limited to their dominant armor type (for example, plate for paladins). All items will still be available via greed rolls should no member be able to use the item as well as the new disenchant option will be available for all parties.

Group Disenchanting

Players in a group with an enchanter will now have the option to automatically disenchant any items that are not claimed by a player from within the loot window. Players will have this option available to them in both premade groups and in randomly matched groups. This option is available in any loot system, even if players don’t use the new dungeon tool.

Kommentar von DewchuggerDo you not get saved to heroics anymore? Can I do random heroics all day long?

What if I'm saved to all but UK, and a buddy is saved to all but UP? Will the system yell at us for not being compatible?Kommentar von lucktonDo you not get saved to heroics anymore? Can I do random heroics all day long?

I hope this keeps me from having to spam /2 and /4 trying to get tanks and healers.

Also I think you can still bring you friends by forming a group and then joining the lfg, just like you do for arena. Overall, very high marks and can't waitKommentar von 423556This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Kommentar von chase123Smarter Group Matching

I can start to imagine...

10 man Heroic Trial of the Crusader after Northrend Beasts:

Raid leader: There were two people who did not attack the snowbolds on the Gormok event.. one of you must leave this building after the vote.

*Vote window pops up*

Raid leader: *check vote 1* Player 1, you have gained one vote, three more and you will immedietly leave this arena.

RL: *vote 2* Player 2, you have also gained one vote

RL: *vote 3* Player 1, you have now 2 votes

RL: *vote 4* Player 2, you also have 2 votes

RL: *vote 5* Player 1, you have 3 votes, one left and you will leave this building

RL: *vote 6* Player 2, you have also 3 votes...

*tense music*

RL: The one who will leave this raid is...

*music continues*

RL: PLAYER 2!

Dramatic music begins, player 2 begins to /hug and /cry other peopleKommentar von 177591This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Kommentar von 138584This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Kommentar von 138584This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Kommentar von tessaeCan we take Anachronos into the PUG with us if we still have him aggro'ed?Kommentar von 236yfpjkjhdThis is excellent, except for healers/casters.
