Instance/Dungeon Grouping Queue

**esaesid** · 24-08-2011, 21:07

Rather than join/create a random game from a random list it would be cool to join a queue to be grouped with similar level players to hunt a specific part or dungeon of the game. With the addition of Inferno difficulty this will allow you to find a full group to hunt a specific area.

Yes this is ala WoW, but I think it would be a good idea and would be very useful for Diablo 3.

Thoughts?

I believe they already implemented this or have plans to. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Sounds pretty good to me... means there's a much reduced chance of missing out on anything!

I sure hope so. This worked out really well in WoW. Chat channels are cool or chatting, but not usually for finding groups.

In the very short time I played wow, I would get so mad when I couldn't enter an instance. I don't know if they changed it, but I remember not being able to enter one, and getting really angry.

Not sure why you couldnt enter the instance. Might have been a level restriction or a circumstance restriction.

The instance queue and raid queue as well as any other instance worked extremely well.

There are a couple problems with random groups in dungeons. If one or two die, sometimes the group falls apart, after the obligatory "noob" and other name calling. If you get grouped with an impatient person who continually makes fun of others the group fails. I have had many random dungeon groups fail after a wipe in Wow. It is OK at lower levels, but it seems at higher levels it takes forever to get a group together and then once you do it is hard to keep it together, Just some food for thought on this aspect.

Dacar92 is right. The queue is both a blessing and a curse, at least in WoW. I dunno. I don't think that Diablo has the same type of coordination required. I mean, you still should play well and your performance will dictate how well the group does, but it's not quite the same as being a healer and missing a critical heal and causing the group to wipe, or being a tank and having a bad pull in ZA or something.

I dunno, we could run into similar problems with jerk players or people being upset that you aren't leet, but that's the nature of anonymity on the internet. For the most part I believe I will find some cool people to play with. Especially if they're from these forums. <3

God, talking about this makes me wish I could run a dungeon right now, but I know quitting that game was the right choice.

blizzard has already stated they wanted to get people automatically seeing games of players on the exact same part of the game, so you could just browse/join games that way (or choose not to). as long as i have an option to see games where players created are on the same part i am, then i would much prefer it to stay as is, creating games and having people join. that way i can always get to killing right away without having to wait, and who cares if its just me, 2 of us, or 4 of us, as long as im killing i'm happy.
