Guild Wars 2

Last night I was in a group that just could not get our dungeon instance to load for all members of the group.

Standing in the zone, we kept trying to get the same overflow, but it wouldn’t work.

We’d get the pop-up “click to join your group in the dungeon” but clicking didn’t do anything.

In short it was the same bugged group crap that’s been going on since launch. Not the first time I ran into it, prob’ly not the last. Literally spent more time tryin to zone in than we did in the dungeon. And later with a different group, everything worked as it’s supposed to — it’s not like it’s 100% of the time bugged, just a lot of it.

I was wondering if people had any strategies for how to circumvent the problem, specifically how to get your group into the same dungeon instance when the game bugs.

same problem here… and many other ppl have same problems…

We solved this last night by having four of us stand some distance from the dungeon entrance. We then reset everyone by splitting up the group, and logging in to another character, then back to our original. After this, we reformed the group, sent the first person back into the dungeon, then the rest of us accepted the invite that popped up, and arrived.

One person had a problem again, but he simply left the group, while the rest of us waited inside the dungeon. He once again logged into another character and out again. Accepted our group invitation, then travelled to join us in the instance.

In beta, I had a problem like this. One guy on my group told us to go back to our home instance, logout and then try again entering the dungeon again. That worked at the time, not sure if it still works.

You think most people can be bothered messing around this much for what should work immediately?

Yeah this is annoying, relogging and breaking party doesn’t always work for me :/

Yeah, dungeons are just screwed at the moment. I’ve tried every trick in the book and I can’t get them to work.

If you end up split from your group in your own version of a dungeon, then do this:

(1) Exit the dungeon
(2) Enter another dungeon of the same type (story/explorable)
(3) Exit that dungeon as well
(4) Go back to the to the entrance of the original dungeon in which your partial team is waiting for you
(5) Done.

This works whenever you do not get put into the same dungeon than the rest of your party. It odes not always work, when you get a network error after having played a dungeon for a while.

Thanks for these tips. Seems like we may be living with these bugs for a while, it’s good to have a set of things to attempt fixin.
