Issues with getting in dungeon instances
Server: Northern Shiverpeaks
Dungeon: Arah
Problem: Gate closed, quest chain broken.
IMO this dungeon should not rely on a meta chain for entry.
Server: Far Shiverpeaks EU
Dungeon: TA explorable
Problem: In some parties I can join without problems, while other times I get a popup that a story instance is already in progress (“would you like to join your party?”). After this, we usually spend some time, logging out and back in (switch characters), remaking the party, etc. before giving up. It is impossible to reset the dungeon once this bug shows up.
Server: Eredon Terrace
Dungeon: Ascalonion Catacombs Explorable Mode path 2
Issue: game engine always crash when encounter boss “Ghost Eater” (min 1 – 5 during encounter) and if i crash and relog cannot any earn reward
this issue so annoyed me
*Twilight Arbor Explorable ( Forward – Forward )
Last night, after successfully starting the instance with a full PUG party of five, one person disconnected and never came back so we continued on with four players till we wiped on the boss before the nightmare tree, the one with a small group of knights guarding him. I had been speaking with a guild member in teamspeak, who said he would join our group to help us finish. After kicking the disconnected player and inviting said guildy, he was unable to join our instance, it kept putting him in a new one, while the four of us waited inside. He suggested to me that I join him outside the instance and he would follow me in, with hopes the game will re-join the instance in-progress, but no luck it placed me into a new instance as well. I tried both joining through the pop-up dialogue and by walking up to the entry point and was not placed back into the in-progress instance. After several attempts we told the rest of the group we would probably need to re-enter as a group, and to no avail we were never placed back in our in-progress instance. We had each of the four of the original group try entering first, using both methods of entry, but the group fell apart and the pug were quite mad, as it was late and they did not have the time to start all over. Hopefully this issue is resolved soon.
Edit: It was brought to my attention that the person who disconnected which I kicked must have been the de facto leader of the party, so when he got dropped, we lost his dungeon seed.

Check my bug report not a forum post. Full of fun times and useful information.
Issues with Twilight Arbour. Same bug as most, 5 of us went in, one disconnected, but the replacement can’t join the existing dungeon. Leaving the dungeon gives “join your party inside” but it takes you to the reset version of the dungeon.
Edit: I was trolled. All is good for now.

Server: Crystal Desert
Dungeon: Ascalonian Catacombs, path 2 (ghostly defender)
I was almost at completion of path 2 nearly at the end of the ‘defend the cannons’ fight when I had a fatal client crash. When booting up again, there was a download before getting to the login/play screen in the patch ui. There was no download at that point.
Once in game, I tried re-entering the dungeon where my guild members were still waiting for me by walking into the entrance portal. I consistently received an error 19:9:18:1614:101 with a message indicating I did not have access to the log-in server. Logging out and back in again did not fix it.
The rest of my group then went ahead and spent 5 minutes finishing the dungeon to get their 60 tokens, while I was stuck tokenless and writing this bug report. :/
I think the error is caused because the dungeon instance was flagged under the old version of the game, while my client was the new post-patch version, so from a technical standpoint I can understand why it happened. However, I think there needs to be some form of hot-fix for when it does happen. Spending an hour for no rewards is not quote un-quote fun.
Especially concerning is why I was forced to patch on a North American server at 8pm PST. Smack dab in the middle of my server’s prime time. It seems to me that a better time could be picked for a patch to be uploaded that would conceivably be less likely to result in situations such as these.
Server: Ring of Fire
Dungeon: Arah
Gates are closed and event doesnt start. PLEASE fix it definitly or remove event for that dungeon opening.
Server : Darkhaven
Dungeon : Twilight Arbor (story mode)
Problem: Started out with group of 5. Right before the end boss, one player got disconnected. He never came back online so one of us went out to Lion’s Arch to find a replacement. When they attempted to enter the instance they got put into a different instance. We suspect the person who got disconnected in the first place is the group leader, thinking we can re-group inside the dungeon and re-invite the 2 members outside of our instance, turned out the moment you leave party, you get kicked out of the dungeon. :S 90 minute wasted
Server: Ring of Fire
Dungeon: Arah
Gates are closed and event is stuck for DAYS.
Server: Fergusons crossing Dungeon: Arah

Gates are bugged again!!!!!!!!!!!
Server: Henge of Denravi
Dungeon: Arah
Problem: Event will not start to let people in
Arah is FUBAR again. Been trying to complete personal story for couple of weeks now and instance is always closed.

Server: Tarnished Coast
Dungeon: Citadel of Flames
Issue: Way Point has been contested for 24 hrs. Completing Effigy event does not trigger bridge event.

Dungeon: Citadel of Flames
Issue: Still locked out of it for the 2nd day… Razen Frozen at the bridge, events wont trigger…

Server: Henge of Denravi
Dungeon: Arah
Issue: Meta event not allowing gates to open to allow access. You see it trying to advance but it hops right back regardless of outcome.

Server: Tarnished Coast
Dungeon: Honor of the Waves, story mode
Issue: Walked up to gate until dialogue box popped up, then hit “Join your party/ Enter story mode.” Was alone, not in same instance as others. Tried running everyone out, then back in — repeatedly — and also regrouping. The best we managed was a random 4/5 present — I got in that time, someone else didn’t. I have never tried the dungeon before.
Server: Far Shiverpeaks
Dungeon: Citadel of Flame (CoF)
Problem: Pre-event is still bugged for 3-4 days. Can you fix it instead relying on the patch to do so?
Im surprised no1 posted until today….
i guess i took it for granted that people already told/reported the issue…
well as the guy above mentioned:
Server: Far Shiverpeaks
Dungeon: Citadel of Flame (CoF)
Prolblem: Pre-event stuck or you cant continue it so you cant complete it to enter the dungeon. Been like this for a while now……
Server: Gandara EU
Dungeon: Honour of the Waves (explorable)
Problem: When trying to join the party in the explorable mode, one or two people were put in their own instances and couldn’t join. Whether it was coincidence or not, of the 5 of us in the party, only the two of us from the same guild seemed to be affected (happened to either of us randomly over 5 times each)

Stuck at the Gates of Arah dynamic events, yet again. Now it’s at “pact is preparing to establish a forward base”.
Server: Riverside
Dungeon: Arah
Problem: Surprise! The kitten gate.
Please try the solution that has already been suggested and make the access independent of the meta chain. So you can try to fix it without annoying everyone.

Server: Gandara
Dungeon: Citadel of Flame (CoF)
Problem: dungeon has been contested few days now. Event is stuck or something.
hopefully this will be fixed soon.
Dungeon: All
Problem: If the starter of the instance gets dc or logs out, all of the party cannot replace the one who made it. Neither can the starter get back in.
Server: Gandara
Dungeon: Arah
Problem: Gates still stuck at ‘Pact is preparing to establish a forward base’. Been like this for 2 weeks at least (I only got there in that time) but peeved I can’t finish my personal story. Why is this not 100% priority fix?
Server: darkheaven
Intstance: not a dungoen but i cant get into Any instances for exploration. or even story for ur hero
Problem: stuck on loading screen for the instances. on any char i try it on.
Server: Ehmry Bay
Dungeon: Citadel of Flame
Problem: Waypoint is permanently contested, and the gate to the dungeon is blocked by rocks. Status in the top right says that the allied factions control the Gates of Flame and the entrance, but the dungeon is still totally blocked and inaccessible. No dynamic event starts.
Server: Whiteside Ridge
Dungeon: Arah
Problem: Instance is closed couse the chain event stucked at ‘Pact is preparing to establish a forward base’. Dont really get this, why u need to connect the main instance with a 2 hours chain event what is usually bugged and cannot been completed. If i wanna go to an instance i dont planin to farm events for hours to get inside the instance.
Server: fissure of Woe
Dungeon: twilight Arbor
Problem: were at the last boss, one guy left the party and we got kicked out of the dungeon, and then the dungeon reset.
Another Bug in Caudecus’s Manor.
Problem: last boss you need to kill 3 adds and Captain Delana. there’s only 2 Adds, so the Last event wont start
Server: Stormbluff Isle
Dungeon: Mad King
Problem: My group of 5 is instanced somehow in a different dungeon instance than me. I’ve tried clicking on the Enter when the popup asks me to join the party in the dungeon and I’ve tried walking in. Neither loads me into the same instanced dungeon as my group.
THE DUNGEON IS MAD KING
the dungeon is bugged we cant fight the mad king or when we get in as group every plays alone
server: Gandara and Blacktide
dungeon: Arrah
Problem: Arrah is permanently blocked. " pact is preparing to etablish a forward baze" for not less than a week now. Please solve this ASAP
server: Sanctum of Rall
dungeon: HOTW
Problem: Instancing issues, party getting split into three different instances of the same dungeon. two party members are stuck alone in their own instance. Reforming party, having a different person initiate the zonening, and relogging did not solve the problem
Server: Maguuma
Dungeon: Arah
Problem: Gate closed, quest chain broken.
Its been this way for a very long time now. The only times the dungeon actually works is after a server reset. I personally find it very annoying that you have catered to the people complaining about chest drops for the Halloween event before fixing major bugs such as this. It makes me wonder about your priorities.
Server: Isle of Janthir
Dungeon: Arah
Problem: Gate won’t open, meta event stuck
The Cursed Shore event chain is stuck on “The pact are strategizing at Caer Brier”,
which means that Arah is permanently contested, making it impossible to enter the dungeon.
Please fix this issue asap.
This is STILL happening…I thought it would have been fixed two months ago!
Server: Fort Aspenwood
Dungeon: AC explorable
Person left to recruit another, came back, in separate instance. Extra invited person was separated in the other as well. Both relogged, no prompt to enter the instance.
Lost all our progress.

Server: Whiteside Ridge
Dungeon: Arah
Problem: now this is new so the chain event is still stucked to ‘Pact is preparing to establish a forward base’ but now u can teleport to the Arah waypoint and the map doesnt show any event to the instance but if u teleport there the gates are closed so u cannot get to the dungeon. Interesting
is there any sense to write these bugs down here? is there any chance to get any answer from the Anet something like “yea we know about this problem and workin on it etc..” kinda feels its just waste of time without any response : /
Server: Far Shiverpeaks
Dungeon: Citadel of Flame
stupid bug
one guy dc’s so i go out to find a new guy
i join and i’m in a new instance all of a sudden and i can’t rejoin my team and we were AT THE kitten END OF THE DUNGEON
and people can’t even join anymore when they haven’t done story yet too
sometimes when i invite someone who hasn’t done story i can only do story and not explorable even though we were already in
It happened to me a couple of times where CoF was bugged, razen does not start the event in order to unlock the dungeon, at the same time the guardian of the dungeon says that we have unlocked it…
Victory or Death, Gates of Arah. This is the final step in story mode, well i can only assume because i cant progress any further in the game. The area is never contested to open these gates and has been bugged for almost a week.
Arah, Gandara … blah blah we all know its broken.
Can we get an update to the gate to make it a WvW gate that we can just bash down or just remove the gate entirely. I feel like not being able to complete the game for weeks on end is a HUGE issue that is just being ignored.
Server : Blackgates
Dungeon : CoF (Citadel of Flame)
Issue : Cannot get in the dungeon. The waypoint / dungeon entrance is contested. The event is bugged, Razen the Raider will not move. He stands in front of the bridge to CoF. We’re suppose to escort him, but we can’t because he’s bug at the bridge to CoF.

Server: Gandara
Dungeon: Arah
Problem: Gates are closed, meta event stuck…
Seems i have the same issue in Whiteside Ridge: the waypoint to Arah is uncontested, the gates are closed and there are Risen fortifications and no Pact (which i suppose is the normal state of it being contested), Anchorage is contested while Meddler’s is not (and was not even when Jofast’s was contested, although i don’t know if that’s normal) and the “Gates of Arah” meta event is stuck saying “The Pact are preparing to establish a forward base.”. This state has been fixed since morning, and is annoying since I was all set up to finish my personal story. Any chance we could get some manual restarts on it or something similar until a solution is found?
