    Less chance on getting your least fav. instances with LFD

    Hai,

    Quite some time ago, I think it was patch 3.2, not entirely sure, Blizzard added the Extend Raid lockout thingy.. Well, let's say Oculus is your least favorite heroic (and for most, it is). If you do it once, and extend the raid lockout forever, you will have less chance on getting that particular heroic.

    And thus, you'll have way less chance on getting the heroic(s) you extended.

    Doesn't work, someone told me this ingame a few days ago, tried it with Oculus and got Oculus after about 3 randoms.

    What this poster said is correct...this is a false and stupid idea, the LFD ignores lockouts think about it...if i spammed heroics all day and extended everyone of them are u saying when i loof for randome i wont get into any cause ive extended them all...srsly its been mentioned before IT IGNORES LOCKOUTS....ive ran heroic HoR back to back with ppl doing the quest line and also from doing Random looking for D. Tks for trying to post but get ur facts st8 before posting

    Can't remember me saying that you can't get it at all.. But a blue himself said they will try to give you heroics that you didn't do yet faster than the ones you did.

    What the blue poster really meant was "Yeah it's random, i'm going to say some shit to make you think we put a lot of effort into it. But really you can't even roll on items that aren't your proficiencies because we haven't worked it out yet lol."

    Yes, actually it does work like that, derp derp ****tard. Because you post stupid shit maybe do a little research yourself.

    "Heroic lockouts still exist. The only difference is that the Random Heroic option will ignore lockouts. So if you've run every single Wrath of the Lich King Heroic dungeon in a day, you can still choose the Random Heroic option to continue running them. You can do this as often as time allows since this option will ignore lockout timers. As I said above though, the Heroic dungeons you've run the most that day will be less likely to be randomly chosen by the system."

    Its not "all random".

    The LFG tool will queue you according to what you have un-locked out. So if you are the first person that it queues, then fills up your group, you won't go where you're locked out. If you're added to some other group, then it will put you in whatever dungeon the leader of that one isn't locked out of.

    If you set your LFG finder to a certain dungeon only, then you'll probably end up with a group of randoms. I personally am still running hTOC every day for the champ marks, and I've asked my group, and only once out of 4 times of me asking has anyone said they were queued specifically for ToC. 15 other people had all hit "choose random".
