Cannot find the entrance

Another PoS, another player death, another player who cannot find his way back to the instance.

First, I am not bemoaning about those who cannot find their way to the ICC instances. With the LFD tool, this can easily happen due to the teleportation.

There are instances where the entrance is not that easy to find even after entering them the normal way. Deadmines comes to mind. So does RFD and Mara, whose entrance is at the end a maze with no maps to guild you.

With Cata close to release and with the all new instances being available, I am wondering if this will be a common theme with people using the LFD tool. People getting lost and cannot find the entrance to rez.

Q u o t e:
Unless they changed their minds, players are required to discover the instance on the world map before they can queue for it or get it randomly in the LFG system.


Actually, as of the most recent beta patch, players will no longer need to discover pre-Cataclysm dungeons (those that are currently available for play) in order to access them via the Dungeon Finder in the upcoming expansion. All Cataclysm level 80-85 dungeons will still need to be discovered before being unlocked in the system, though.

We've also worked to improve graveyard locations for old world dungeons. We feel pretty good about the changes, but we're continuing to keep an eye on player feedback from the beta. :)
