Queue for Cata Event Bosses For a Failed City Event

[comppapa]

Nothing big here, but if one of your capitol cities completes the invasion event and another doesn't, you can still *get* queued for the failed city's bosses.

Explanation: Early in the day when there's not as many people around, on our server Ironforge was cleared out and the bosses became available (Flamelash/Theradras). Stormwind however, failed to complete it in time and the bosses weren't available. 2 of us queued for Flamelash, killed him, and the group wanted to do the other bosses. The leader queuing was from another server that *did* complete both city events, so he queue'd and we were able to kill all 4 bosses, even though we couldn't directly queue for 2 of them from our server.

Steps:
1) Your server completes the invasion event for one capitol city, but fails the other one.
2) Queue for whatever boss is available, kill that boss.
3) Ask/Convince/Beg one of the LFD people from another server to queue/do the bosses that aren't available on your server.
4) Kill all 4 bosses... Profit, etcetc.

As said, mostly useless, but some may be able to make use of it.

The times I tried this (even when we got the bosses and other realmplayer dont) it greys out and says that the selected players aint eligible or how its spelled.
cant press it at all.

Are you sure they didnt get the city while you were inside the dungeon?

Absolutely positive. After Flamelash went down, the LFD leader from the other server queue'd for the ZF boss, which wasn't available on our LFD screen when we first queue'd for Flamelash. Confirm box came up and straight to ZF. When we came out, everyone was complaining in trade that we failed Stormwind (Even before we queue'd, people were yelling in trade to get to SW quickly as there were still alot of rifts up). Checked the LFD tab, and it just had the two bosses available from the completed city.

Edit: Thought about something that may affect it. When we were queue'd for the other bosses that weren't available on our LFD tab, I'm not sure if the other capitol city's event was still going (In Process) or done (Failed). What happened was, the second Ironforge completed, just about everyone from Stormwind queued for those bosses with 3 or so areas in Stormwind uncompleted. I'm 100% sure the other city failed, I'm just not sure whether it happened before we queue'd the other bosses, or after. Not sure if that affects it or not.

I did the opposite bosses as well when my faction failed in IF (SW passed, but the elementals never spawned in IF, and we eventually failed with 30+ people riding around waiting). But I queued up, got into a pug, and the tank queued us for the others after. Was nice to get them.

Doesn't work. You get an error, like if someone has deserter in your grp and you try to queue for a bg.

Ya, worked for me first day, but now the bosses are greyed out for everyone in the LFD tool. And if you hover over it, it lists the people and says they are ineligible.
