Q:
Getting disconnected in instances
I have witnessed this as well quite a few times. Just last night I was in the Meeting The Asura storyline instance which had been bugged for weeks. As I get to the last step where you Talk to the NPC, there was no response from the F key or right clicking the NPC. I thought the bug had moved to the end of the instance instead of the beginning but then was booted to the Character Select Screen. I logged right back in and ran that storyline instance again… from the beginning… again. /sigh I was able to finish the 2nd time.
I’ve also had issues with not being able to finish parts of LS2, particularly the ‘Seeds’ chapter. There are places in the story where you have to interact with Asurans and typing ‘F" or clicking on the interact bubble doesn’t initiate the needed action.
Just very frustrating especially since this stuff gates mastery points and is the only source of sinister trinkets.

I believe this bug was resolved with the most recent update. That one got me too and it was frustrating.
I experienced the exact behaviour the OP described last night, however, this occurred right before a 5 minute long power cut in my area.
On power return, I carried on playing for a good hour or two more with no cut-off, so I concluded it was simply the power cut. I’ve never experienced a dropout like this during a single player instance ever before.
So I only mention this, at all, simply because the behaviour was precisely what the OP described. Hope this helps in some way…
So now I’ve had it happen twice in The Mystery Cave storyline instance. A few nights ago during the last fire ring lighting phase while fighting the dragon. I quit for the night I was so frustrated. Now again today AFTER THE DRAGON WAS DEAD!!! The cutscene started while standing next to THE DEAD DRAGON and poof!, back at the character log in screen. <cries> Must I do it again? Really?! From the very beginning of the instance?! >:( Btw, these two incidents happened on different machines, different networks, different ISPs, different buildings, different towns.
Having the same issue still… Just got DCed from the Mystery cave again and had the same problem a few months ago on my other char. Seems to happen right after cinematics in the instance.
