Guild Wars 2

Every time I get into a group for fractals, it wont let me join the group. I can stand outside the portal and it will try to get me to enter a separate instance!
Is anyone else having this problem too?

Are you in the same region as the rest of your group? If they’re on an EU server and you’re on a NA server, you won’t be able to join them.

this sometimes happens if you’re set to invisible when you join a LFG

I only use the LFG tool, unless its a guild group, and i am not set to invisible!

james.5087, this happens if you stand next to the portal.

Try waypointing somewhere else in LA and then accept the prompt to join. If you try to do it while in front of the portal to FotM it just creates a separate instance.

i only get booted from the game when i try to go in. no error code either. it’s almost like the portal is an Alt-F4 button instead…. and this is AFTER a -repair….

I think I have the same problem. When I join a fractals group, I can’t join them, I just create my own instance when I enter fractals. I really hate this because people might think I am an lfg troll which I don’t like the idea of.
However, I CAN get into my group’s instance if no one is already inside when I join the group, but even then the ‘join your party in fotm’ looks a bit buggy (it says the fractal scale is 0 whatever level I do).
This isn’t an enormous issue for me, because I can just create my own groups but it is still extremely annoying.
This issue started after LA was rebuilt and way pointing to somewhere else does not fix the issue for me

I have tried that too. Even tried logging out and re-log back in!

I think we have the exact same problem!! Is anyone else getting this issue?

I’ve run into this problem a few times, the thing that happens is when I exit the fractal (or arrive late to LA when people have already gone in) is the popup window for joining your party is the light blue one (the one that usually pops up when you start a fractal and select what scale you want, but defaults to your max reward level) instead of the dark blue one that’s supposed to bring you straight to your party.

If I just hit “enter fractal” with the light blue popup, it will almost always send me to a new instance. The only time it doesn’t send me to a new instance is if the number in the fractal scale input is equal to or below scale that the rest of the party is in – so I have to punch in the correct scale, hit enter, then hit “enter fractal” (just entering the number and clicking on the button doesn’t work).
