Guild Wars 2

I searched for this with several keywords and nothing. I’m sure ppl must have already complained about this.

I was just kicked out of CM because someone left the party. It was a PUG and the run was going OK, there was no reason why anyone would be feeling things were not going to work.

I guess that for some reason – that really doesn’t matter here – the person that started the instance was disconnected from the game. It was very unfair for everyone. I’d like to understand the reason why for this ‘feature’ of the instance starter to kick everyone out, because I really don’t see the point and it’s always very annoying.

If it would be any other party member, we would just continue, wait to see if the person reconnects or just find a replacement. Like this, we get an instant kick, without warning or valid reason.

Please make it so this stops happening or put in an option for others to remain in the instance if they wish to do so.

Go bump this thread in suggestions and add your story there. Devs don’t exactly read this forum lol.

They didn’t just DC. The instance only closes if the owner leaves party or if they log in on another character.

If no one ownes the instance a plague of locusts will swarm over the lfg pugs of the likes that you have never seen. Players who started parties with a certain play style or goal in mind will be kicked so that the meta rules and all dungeon runs become one in a bucket of grey goo.

For as long as I remember. Maybe it was after the changes with fotm (4/5 months ago?)

The instance owner can log off and the 4 can still finish the dungeon. The instance owner can log out. Log back in. Go to lions arch, buy something form the TP, then come back in, while the 4 stay in.

The instance owner can NOT switch characters. The instance owner can NOT leave the party. Either of these two will cause the instance to be destroyed.

This is correct. The instance will even be destroyed for the instance owner if he leaves party and he’s the only person in the dungeon. I found that out a while back on an arah p2 solo. I started the instance with a couple friends in party, they had no intention of joining the dungeon. I left the party and was booted.

It has been fixed for quite some time now. I believe 2 or 3 months.
