Disconnects and the implications they have for dungeons

[Woider]

As you know, running dungeons is a substantial part of the leveling experience, and for the most part, I've had it work quite well on this server.
However, what happened just a few short moments ago had me almost tearing my hair out in frustration.

A little background first: There I was, sitting around in Westfall, spamming General Chat to cobble together a ragtag bunch of nubs for Deadmines for what seemed like a bloody eternity. We finally get that quintet going, and for the most part, the dungeon went well. Up to a certain point, that is. Around the point of Mr. Smite, the server decided to **** itself and everyone was ejected out of the game. No big deal, right? You'd be wrong, because while we managed to all log in 30 seconds or so later and kill the next few bosses, we ended up in a bit of a pickle. We wiped on VanCleef (Yes, really) and had to run back through the instance. But when we reached the doors after the first boss, they were closed. Permanently. There was no way for us to retry the last boss as our path was blocked by a metaphorical "**** you". Needless to say, this caused a bit of rage, and the group disbanded after approximately an hour into the run, one boss away from completion.

Would it be too much to expect a server that trumpets itself as "the most complete Wrath of the Lich King server" to not lock up an instance due to faulty servers? Discuss below.

Yes, it happened to me too , in other instances . But it's not that bad. Since the server is very young, only a few months out of beta testing things like this have to be expected. However, things will be different in future. My advice is just to be patient.
In my opinion Lordaeron has many reasons to proclaim itself as the most complete wotlk server, and indeed it is at the moment, but his problems are more related to the huge number of online players, not to the server's complexity.

If you have to pay for the original game, why do you want to have everything ready-made, without pay, on a private server? this is called selfishness

Grats you got time to get social while spamming global and getting full dungeon run !

P.S. Days with RDF were much better when you could just raise your role and wait for Dungeon call. And in the mean time you could keep questing if dungeon is not up.
If a 21 level guy was sent to Deadmines or Wailing Caverns via RDF, he still would do it for the sake of dungeon reward satchel. But here a 21 level doesnt bothers much about them.
This story is same for all the dungeons

Why i said about RDF enabling ?
1. If you are so much interested to make a perfect group, go spam global and choose players as per your choice.
2. If you want to level up, have some fun around and get some reward equipsment as well; Raise your flag role in RDF

totally happy on both ways.
There really would be less spam on global until someone wants to make it perfect.

And one more plague thing i noticed, 3k above tank, 2 guys 3k above DPS and 1 DPS just dinged 80 and 1 good healer
Tank leaves group because that newly dinged 80 is low
There are really frustrating spams like need all 3.4 above for Violet Hold HC
Lordaeron is going nowhere but getting gearscore plague more and more without RDF

~P.S. Days with RDF were much better~-You can`t be seriously,I`ve played on the old lordaeron(wich had rdf enabled if i recall correctly)and all you`d see was global being spammed `lf rdf hc 5k+ gs(5,5 k gs sometimes)`and queing for rdf as a tank having to wait for 40 + mins only to get a group that wipes on the first trash pack and then disbands.Enabling rdf queue won`t solve anything as long as there is global channel.

[gorgoyle]

if a group with even 3k gs guys wipes on Hc dungeon then its worth DISBANDING and putting eachother on ignore ^_^

As i said, if you want your 'so perfect' group for dungeon, get rest 4 from global with your own choice and then go for rdf hc
its not only "as a tank having to wait for 40 + mins only to get a group that wipes on the first trash pack and then disbands"

Even as a DPS you come across a 'OMG i cant tank' or 'Too Cool To Heal' players via RDF

so its a fair square deal on every end !

lol. I NEVER waited more than 10 minutes for queue as a tank on molten, it was often instant. people only asked for 5k when they wanted to rush through it, but everyone was content with what they got through rdf, and queueing for HC required you to have decent gear in the first place through the dungeon finder, so i dont see how you were wiping so easily. i for one would love to see the rdf back again, the low levels are terrible trying to find a group
