In today’s Feature Pack update ANet has said that dungeons will no longer be “owned” by the first person to enter the instance. I am no longer afraid to host a dungeon when it’s raining at my house! So what are all of your thoughts on this?

Sellers… now you don’t just lose your instance, it just strait up gets stolen!

We need group chat to remain and what not so we can at least report people to jump in and kick right away.

Other than that I’m happy with the change.

I’ll also be able to solo some arah on my guardian, get to lupi, have a friend join to keep the instance open and swap to my warrior for solo practice… that’ll be nice.

My very first thought. Funny that you could basically just steal it back.
Well, one more reason to get placeholders.

Excellent, now you can no longer be immune to kicks when pugging fractals or dungeons.

Even better, dungeon sellers no longer have to worry about their instance disappearing if they are kicked; it will still be there, just in the hands of those who kicked them!

It’ll be more profitable to kick and sell than to solo.

Curious as well, how long does it have to be empty before closing? Even if it is instant you could always bug a friend to sit in the dungeon for a minute while you swap.

They should allow players to change both the vote count required for kicks and who is allowed to be kicked. That should solve everything.

I think they should make it that if the instance owner is kicked, the instance is lost like usual. But if the instance owner is disconnected or offline, the instance will not be lost.

Forgot to explain this, but isnt a person auto kicked if offline for a certain time? In that case the instance will not be lost since it is auto kick.

Then they can find a new 5th player

Cant they just get another 5th player?

So you’re saying a kick while the owner is online will crash the instance, but a kick while the owner is offline will not?

I get it now. That would work.

Don’t know, don’t believe so. But what I said above rectifies the issue.

Edit: unless the person goes afk while online, as nova said.

We’ll definitely need more information on the dungeon instance changes, right now all we know is that it got worse, the griefers will actually STEAL the instance and get the reward you deserved. Instance owner need some kind of kick immunity, or at least a positive vote of 4, not less.

People who wanted to get rid of the last bit of moderation in dungeon instances, seems to be people who have no idea how the dissolving of instances work. I’ll send curses in your general direction.

Now there’s no point in selling paths when griefers can come in and steal your instance, then just kill the last boss themselves. Guess we don’t have to hear about people complaining about only seeing sellers on lfg.

This change is positive. Bad players will use any system to create bad situations, much like they do now. Good players will be able to continue their dungeons with less risk of a mishap.

It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that the instance owner will now be vulnerable to kicks. It was always going to be a consequence of this fix.

They’ll still complain..they need to complain about something. Sellers will just have to take more precautions and make sure they have fillers in the team after the patch/nerf.

Thinking about it, not even having placeholders may be safe when griefers are willed to give up a few gold and then happen to be fast enough.

How about if when creating the party, you can choose if kick mechanic is implemented, or only party leader can initiate kicks? Would this help?

I really wish they would do this. I’ve seen multiple different systems, dabbled in many, really played a lot of 3 different MMOs and the one that did this was easily the most controlled situation with the least amount of griefing.

I vote for this one!
I also played different MMOs with such system, and it worked.
What Anet needs to do, is to make it obvious who is the leader and what it means – by icon in the party interface.

I wanna play with like-minded people only.
If that means I’ll wait for 10 minutes for my party to fill, and then leave the dungeon because nobody came, I’m fine with that!

  1. What happens if you solo and experience a short DC? What happens if your entire party sees a short DC?
  2. Does anyone really think they will put more resources (i.e. money) into investigating griefers? This is going to get nasty (see post above by Maliel.8362).
  3. With this change, it appears you can ferry people into instances they couldn’t otherwise open (dungeon explorable modes) and leave yourself. Perhaps the locking of explorable paths should be completely removed because this makes it moot?
