Guild Wars 2

I think a good way to do it would be to have the squad lead or first person enter be able to start the instance, and than use their recorded progress (i.e. 1st boss down so 2nd boss stuff available) to setup the instance. Any player could join or enter even if they have already cleared, but wouldn’t be eligible for additional rewards until next week. This would operate in a similar manner to fractals, I’d think.

But has anyone said anything in particular? I think having a well designed lockout will really make or break this content. I can see a lot of problems if you say, log in to help a new group with a boss but then are locked to their instance or something, or if you have to return with the identical group throughout that week. That would be a nightmare, especially for larger guilds.

They said this on stream, the first person to enter an instance will have their progress used.

If you beat boss one, the next time you enter you start after boss 1 and your party is with you. If your party member completes boss 2 with you, they can later enter first and bring the party to the first boss for that reward.

You can only get rewards from each boss once per week.
