saved for exp?
explanation:
1) you hosted story mode instance.
2) group you joined couldn’t enter exp mode because you already had story mode hosted.
3) you joined other group with hosted story mode instance, therefor couldn’t see each other.
first person to enter instance becomes its host.
every player in party can have his own intance if player hosted it prior joining party.
reloging same character does not destroy your instance.
switching to different character destroys your instance.
tl;dr – switch character to fix
They need to add something like the “Reset all Instances” function in WoW.
Agreed, it’s very annoying to have to relog on another toon to reset the instance.
It’s a stupid bug, I usually fix it by having 1 person go in the explorable one and then inviting the other players when he’s already inside.
