Enjoy.
Q u o t e:
Will the random heroic search have the option of excluding certain heroics (i.e. oculus?)
Q u o t e:
You do not have the option to exclude specific Heroic dungeons, however, if you've already run a specific Heroic dungeon that day, it is less likely to be randomly selected for you.
Q u o t e:
Will players still need to purchase keys to queue for TBC heroics?
Q u o t e:
All standard requirements for entering a dungeon will remain. For instance, if you log into the game just after patch 3.3's release and queue for a Random Heroic dungeon, you will not be selected for the Icecrown Citadel Pit of Saron or Halls of Reflection wings unless you've cleared your way through each preceding wing in order to unlock the next wing (i.e. you must clear Forge of Souls for Pit of Saron, and Pit of Saron for Halls of Reflection).
Q u o t e:
I've heard players will no longer be saved to heroics. Does this mean we can farm Champion's Seals?
Q u o t e:
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.
Q u o t e:
Oh... so raid id's don't apply when using the random heroic LFG tool?
That is... VERY cool.
Q u o t e:
If you're speaking specifically about raid lockouts, they still apply. The new Dungeon Finder can only be used for five-player dungeons.

Q u o t e:
Just 5p's, gotcha. Thanks Zarhym!
Q u o t e:
There is a new Looking For Raid interface coming in patch 3.3 as well, though it's not cross-realm and does not provide a way of circumventing raid lockout timers. ;)
