Guild Wars 2

Chilsung.3710:

Currently having issues with all dungeons.

Attempting to enter an instance will sometimes work, but all members are in separate instances. Some members can enter, some members cannot. Leaving makes the character unable to zone back into the dungeon. Both the popup and walking into the entrance have the same results for all 5 members of the group. Reforming the group doesn’t help. Re-logging also has no effect.

This happened to me too trying to get into Sorrow’s Embrace Story at two different times with two different groups. This also happened with CoF explore. Both were parties of 5.

I had this issue.
A group of 5 of us were running Ascalonian Catacombs – Exploration Mode.
We were on the Howling King Route and were on the missing scepter fragments event before the Final Boss.

2 People left the party, because they had to go.
(We kicked them, they didn’t use ‘Leave Party’)

3 of us left. 2 remained inside, I went outside the instance to LF2M.
I got 2 players and when we entered we were in a brand new instance. Seperate from the other 2 I was with before hand. Even though we were all 1 group.

We tried leaving the instance and returning, Leaving the group and returning and Reloging. And all combinations within.

Thanks for your time.

I joined a group to go into CM explore mode and was unable to join the same server as my party members. We relogged, reinvited and tried again. Still didn’t get on the same server. Then tried one more time and this time whenever I click on exploreable mode it doesn’t do anything and won’t work no matter how many times I’ve tried. I relogged and had the glitch as before when party members are on different servers. This is frustrating as I’m unable to grind out the gear I want. Please fix!

Everyone on Sea of Sorrows is also having this issue with TA instance, with reports of CM as well. We can either not get in at all after clicking join party, or get in but in a separate instance.

I can confirmed that TA explorable is broken on every server. It is currently impossible to get a party into the dungeon.

I, and my entire server are having trouble entering Citadel of flames explorer mode. The window pops up for XP mode, I click enter, and nothing happens.

I am on the crystal desert server.

Update: A few hours ago I was able to get into TA explorable by being on overflow server and relogging from a main to an alt then back, to tell the map that my main is no longer in a (nonexistent) open instance. For some reason before we bugged, the party member from a different server than us was always able to get in but we were not. Therefore, it seemed logical for the rest of us to go to an overflow and wah-lah, it worked.

I haven’t been able to get a group into Caudecus’s Manor for days. Story mode if that matters.

We’ve tried both 5 person groups and other times just two of us, but we’re always in our own separate instance of the dungeon.

We’ve tried everyone walking into the portal and entering the dungeon simultaneously. Having one person completely load into the dungeon and have others accept the pop up prompt. Have others ignore the prompt and walk into the portal.

More than half of the time the enter dungeon button wouldn’t even work. The pop up would disappear and you’d still be outside.

This strategy has been proven to work to solve this problem.

First thing is that when you are forming your group, make sure you don’t invite party members when you are in overflow. You could be inviting people from different servers.

Before entering the instance make sure you are in the normal zone. DO NOT ENTER while you are in overflow. Once all members aren’t in overflow you may enter the zone. If you are all in front of the portal, make sure you can see everyone’s portrait to ensure everyone is not in overflow.

You may enter the instance while other members wait to hit the “travel” button to leave overflow. DO NOT LEAVE THE INSTANCE, if you leave the instance then you will be put in overflow and will need to wait to hit “travel” then enter the instance.

When doing multiple runs of the same instance, you will need to wait every single time to get out of overflow. If it’s late at night and there isn’t an overflow you may keep running in and out.

IF YOU ARE EVER IN OVERFLOW YOU NEED TO WAIT. Solves this problem every single time.

I’m having troubles getting a group into Twilight Arbor. We try the pop up and walk-in. We’ve tried relogging and tested different people entering first.

CoF same problem as everyone else, Can not enter as a party

Dungeons bugged on Crystal Desert still.

There is only a few servers bug, I been transferring server and doing AC story in some of them without a problem some others don’t
at least in my real server Sorrow Furnace has been 3 days by now that the 85% of the people cant get in on AC story mode.

tried several times to enter ac on dark haven server with full grps with none in overflow seeing all there pictures and when entering we all end up alone in dungeon or cant get in at all either using pop up or the portal it self dosent do anything plz adress this

We’re having problems with Twilight Arbor storymode.

We create a party of 5 then all go in either via the popup or going up to the portal ourselves. We always end up in a different realm. We leave to try again but then can’t enter. The popup comes up but it doesn’t teleport us anywhere when we press enter.

We’ve tried doing it all via the popup or all going up to the portal, same problem.

I’ve tried twice on different days with different parties. Same problem. I’ve haven’t been able to do that dungeon and would really love to do it!

my issues started yesterday.
i had done about 6 AC runs within the last 3 days with no issues.
as of this post i can not get in AC
either i get in and i am in a different instance as my groupmates or i cant get in at all. pushing the button to join seems to just close the window.
seems that everyone is effected seperatly. sometimes i get into an instance with one or two of my groupmates.

i get the same effect at AC or CM
i get the effect after 12am pst and there is no overflow queue.

was doing a CoF run when the patch hit. once i left the dungeon the game relaunched and patched like normal, then the dungeon was bugged and the only way to get in was to rezone and then u could only enter it by yourself, if u went in a party it would not let you in

team of 5 , beetletun dungeon , all on the same server got seperated when we go in….

Cant enter Caudecus Manor issues
i was doing Caudecus Manor, i was with random group of 5 person. i tried few times, with different group.
enter windows wil pop out, but when i clicked it, it happens notthing, but if i enter the dungeon alone, it works.
i saw alot of other group have the same problem too. no body been able to enter the dungeon.

My post isn’t about getting in initially but what happens when you D/C.
Ran CoF story for the first time tonight and the server ( Sea of Sorrows ) was lagging like crazy ( i know it wasnt my end because ive seen others complain tonight ). I got d/c’d right as the final boss was about to fall and i joined back in and got no recognition of ever completing that dungeon. Now i have to spend 30-40 more minutes running it again with people who have no idea what they’re doing. Just want a fix that recognizes you’ve been all the way through a dungeon even if you disconnect and re join.

hey guys, having the forums open making reporting bugs so much easier
i still havnt been on this today, me and guildies tried CoF yesterday but could not go in, it was locked in our server? we jumped server and was opened in another one, we kept hoping to find players and it was open in other servers as well.
Home server : Underworld

P.S. Please dont disable server jumps before giving us a 1 patch warning so we can atleast head back to our server >.<

Ruins of Arah, trying to join with “join to party” as well as just walking in…

My game crashed in the middle of the dungeon. After I restarted the game I can’t get in the same instance with the others again.

4 other people in the party, all are still playing together.

I tried relogs, party re-invites, in every combination, nothing worked.

AC story mode
I lagged out of the game and couldn’t enter the instance. I left party and rejoined, left party and relogged and then rejoined and still couldn’t get into the same instance with my party members. So we just restarted the instance .Party member had to leave so someone left to find another and he and the new party member wasn’t able to get into the same instance as us. Party members and I used both the message pop up and tried to enter the instance with the portal.

I hope this gets fixed soon.

Twilight Arbor

5 players

Tried all sorts of things being on same overflow , being on main sever and re invites aswell as re-logging for over an hour its totally broken

Over the past two nights, my guildmates and I have tried to enter multiple dungeons, but for many of them we seem to end up with 5 people in 5 separate instances of the dungeon.

On Monday, 9/10, we tried entering Citadel of Flame Explorable mode via the popup. We all got the popup, but clicking the button within did nothing. A couple members of the group, myself included, had not done story mode yet, so my only method of entering explorable mode is via the popup. Those who could enter without the popup tried that as well, but all ended up in separate instances. I think 2 different party members tried creating it.

Next, also 9/10, we tried Honor of the Waves Story mode. None of us had done this dungeon before. We all received the popup, but clicking the Enter button did nothing, just as had been the case with CoF’s popups. We then tried entering via the portal, but ended up in 5 separate instances. We tried creating it with 2 different people here as well.

On Tuesday, 9/11, we tried the same thing with CoF, same results. My guildmates mentioned they had tried Honor of the Waves as well prior to me showing up, with no luck there either.

Chatter from other players around the dungeon zone-ins suggested Sorrow’s Embrace and Twilight Arbor were the only ones working for people, but I have no first-hand proof of dungeons other than those mentioned above.

We did venture to Sorrow’s Embrace and were able to enter explorable mode there via the popup, though, so at least we got something in! I’m excited to try the other dungeons. Hopefully everything’s ironed out before long!

We had the same issue trying to zone into AC Explorer. We made it work by having EVERYBODY leave the group AND THEN relog. We are now in the same instance, yay!

Last nite, 9/11/2012, a group of 5 of us tried Sorrow’s Embrace. We tried every iterration of leaders, reforming the group, running in, pop-up accept. We could not get in the same dungeon and many times nothing happend when accepting the pop-up or running in and saying yes. After about 35 minutes of this we all got tired and gave up. The exact same thing happened a few nites ago at AC explorer. We did eventually get in but someone had to leave before we where finished and we never could get another pug in or even the person that left to get another player. I hope you fix these dungeons soon I have struck out on just about every attempt its getting very frustraiting.

This is SO frustrating… I keep getting my own instance and it is impossible for me to join the rest of my party. We were all standing around right by each other when the CM group filled up. The party leader ran inside with the rest of us following shortly after. I clicked the popup saying, “blah blah [Enter Story Mode (level 40]” and it instantly ported me inside… of my own freaking instance. This has been happening to me for days and it’s really testing my patience. I waste time waiting around for a group to fill up and then the game refuses to to put us all into the same instance? C’mon, this can’t be that hard to fix, all I want to do is join my group and actually run a dungeon. :/

Since this sort of thing has apparently been going on for days, and this thread seems to have been posted and forgotten, judging by the lack of any indication in state of the game updates, or replies here that Arenanet is even aware of the extent of this problem…I guess I’ll add my account to the growing pile hoping it reaches the tipping point soon.

Personally, I tried a Twilight Arbor group Tuesday night. Got 5 people easily enough from guild, but several folks in map chat were telling me it was bugged. Sure enough, only one of us could get in at any time, and the rest of us weren’t able to access the dungeon at all. Click the enter button, nothing happens. We tried various iterations of relogging, made sure we were all on the same non-overflow server, etc.

Heard from others in the group that they hadn’t been able to get into dungeons for several days. Heard from map chat that no one seemed able to enter.

Seems like a widespread problem, even though I have only the one personal experience for direct evidence.

Cadecus’ Manor – Explorable

Member attempted to join dungeon in progress through entry point – given the dialogue to “join party already underway” or something to that end – entered to find himself alone in his own version of the instance.

Our group was all from the same server (Tarnished Coast) and we all entered from Overflow. The add-on member was from a different server, though he and the member of our party who recruited him were on the same overflow server when this happened.

We were able to add another person from Tarnished Coast with no issues.

HotW Story Mode (lvl 76 instance). One person gets into a separate instance. Tried reforming party, different party leaders, different people entering first, restarting clients and more. Nothing works. Everyone was on the same server also. We didnt get a dialogue when the first person entered so everyone just entered on their own.

Citadel of Flame dungeon on Maguuma server has been bugged for the past 3 days.
The chained quest to open the gates is glitched. All the NPC does is just stand there even when you talk with him.

- Thanks

ArenaNet any news on this? I’m not going to bother running any dungeons until these bugs are fixed. It’s almost impossible to get into a run or finish it if someone DC’s or leaves its not worth the frustration.

Working on Ascalonian Catacombs with my guildies. My movement locked up. Other keyboard commands worked, but I was frozen in place (mouse movement didn’t work either). I decided to log out/in to try and clear it. When I logged in I was back in the Fields of Ashford and got a dialog box to join my party. Upon clicking on the join button I was put into my own instance of the dungeon (which was reset to the beginning). I tried zoning out/zoning in, leaving party/rejoining, logging out/in, zoning into other dungeons then returning to AC. None of it worked. Sometimes the dialog box join button would work, other times it did nothing. Regardless, I’m separated from the rest of my group now and we called the run for the night.

I hope this helps you guys diagnose the problem.

My firends and i went to AC and the one of us wasnt able to see the reward chests. then he tried to relog and now he cant enter the same instance.

My guildies and I have been running a couple of dungeons and we have encounter a problem where 1 of the party members is unable to enter the same dungeon as the rest every time. Some times its solved by restarting the game client, at others nothing seems to work.

So far this has happened on story modes in Ascalonian Catacombs, Twilight Arbor, Arah, Honor of the Waves and Caydecus’s Manor in both story and exporable modes.

At times, the problem comes up at the very start and after enough shuffling the group, out and reforming, we have managed to get started. However, on almost every run someone gets either disconnected or experiences a client crash, and after is unable to enter the same instance.

Few times we’ve had to finish the dungeon with just 4 players or like the most resent case with Caydecus’s Manor, the instance reseted while trying to fix the problem after everyone in the dungeon lost connection.

Really hope you guys manage to solve this soon

Court of Welcoming.. 3 people in, 4th couldn’t join. We tried relogging, tried every one of us making the instance but one of us always could not join the same instance.

Hey sorry for my english first I’m not perfectly bilingual.

Well to get in AC today on the story mode we disband the groupe like 6 time make someone else invite people and try to let him go first. the way we found to do it is finding who on us bug the entrance.

so let’s call us A,B,C,D and E player

we did go with A and B to story mode, it was working then invited C and it stop working.
So we invite A,B again with D and we still had our story mode. So we invite E and it was still working. We found that C player was bugging the start. We all go in ecxept C and when we got in we invited C again so we where able to do the dungeon.

but sadly this is the 5 and 6 step. we took around 20min just to get in lol

Got the same problem for me. I was trying to enter AC after a dc and ended up in a whole new and restarted instance. Very frustrating since we were almost done.

Had an issue with game crashing in the middle of HoTW story mode. After restarting the game i was unable to rejoin my group in the dungeon (Fissure of Woe)

- Arah Explorable Mode
- Both through the pop-up dialogue or by walking up to the entry point
- Pop up doesn’t bring me to dungeon, walking brings me to new instance
- 5 man party
- Reconnects, restarts, leave join party does not assist.

I was just in a party of 5 in TA story mode, my computer restarted during the third boss fight, they killed it, and when I logged in I could NOT get back into their instance. I tried everything, it’s completely impossible, and now they can’t finish because they can’t get a fifth. This really sucks.

Edit: Reading now that this is a common problem. I feel your guys’ pain. What a waste of 2 hours. You’d think this is what beta tests are for…
This is the first dungeon I’ve ran and needless to say, I won’t be doing it again until this kitten gets figured out.

Was just in Arah Story Mode, had no problems joining originally, we just had killed the first dragon; the two champion dragons having just appeared. As soon as I went to touch the guns, my game crashes for no reason, as it has been doing a lot since this last freaking patch, when I got back into the game I was completely locked out of the instance that my four other party members were still in. I tried joining through the instance portal, didn’t work, tried joining through the pop up when re-invited, didn’t work. Nothing at all worked and I ended up having to just leave as we were too far in to rightly ask them to reform and restart the instance.

I really don’t understand how this bug can even exist, we’re all part of a party, how does one or more people get forced into another instance all together, when the instances should be locked to -that specific party-.

Please, please, fix this.

In Jade Sea we can’t do Arah due to problems with dynamic events

Guess I throw my issue here. So I was doing a run with a party in explorable mode at Ascalon Catacombs and I got disconnected during it. When I got back in-game, I got the message of re-joining the group, but when I click to do so it wouldn’t let me go back in. I tried logging out, switching characters and back, etc, but no dice I just couldn’t join back in with my group.>.> This really sucks.

My issue isn’t with getting into dungeons as much as it is reconnecting and re-entering dungeons already in progress.

A bunch of friends and I were doing Ascalonian Catacombs earlier, and I disconnected. When I re-entered, I was outside of the dungeon and had the option to “Join my party in Ascalonian Catacombs”. I clicked yes, and it put me in a brand-new dungeon with no progress completed and I was by myself. I tried leaving the dungeon and re-clicking “yes” and it just did the same thing again.

Is this intentional? If so, this should be addressed ASAP.

Dungeon: Ascalonian Catacomb / 1week ago
Me and my friend enter both at the same time through the portal. I’ve been separated from the group. I left the instance and reenter but again i was not in the same instance as my group. I left my group and ask them to reinvite me. It fixed the problem. I would prefered to be not able to join them, i did some dungeons and at the moment this one is the worst since it’s suppose to be the first one.

Dungeon: Crucidle of Eternity / 16.09.12
No problem to join the instance but we got trouble with a boss in submarine way. The giant with a frost sword.We were trying to lure him into the electric pillars to stun him but he was passing through it everytime no matter how we where trying, soo we lost alot of time by killing him the hard way. This boss is nice because you have to use the room to help you but because of this broken thing two players don’t want to do this dungeon again.

Instead of having trouble with getting in the instance, forming a group is a problem for doing the instance (story mode or explorable). It would be nice to have an option like ’’LFG’’ just for instance. I know there is already a ’’LFG’’ thing but nobody use it and when somebody use it you don’t know why he need a group (most of time it’s not for what you need help to). I lost 2h to form my group and being block from the map chat because i was saying "GLF 2more CoE explo’’ every 2min. Group search in Guild Wars 1 was perfect.

I had a similar experience to the AC dungeon problems others have reported. I entered story mode with a group of five. One of the members dropped out, so I invited my friend to join us. My friend was unable to enter the same instance. Ultimately, we all exited the dungeon and re-entered. Unfortunately for us, the dungeon reset and we had to begin again. By that time, we lost another member and were unable to complete the dungeon because certain challenges were a little too tricky with only four members (i.e. the twins).

Another one:

Dungeon: Ascalon Catacombs, story mode.

Problem: Can not rejoin the instance that the rest of the party is in after a disconnect. A window appears, asking me to “join my group”, but when I click on the “Join”-button, the window vanishes and nothing happens.

When walking into the instance portal, the window appears again. In this case, clicking on “join my group” will land me in a new instance of the dungeon, without the party.

Error persisted after logging in again, changing character, rejoining area, rejoining party, etc. Error could be reproduced infinitely.

Very very upset right now. Spent 2 hours trying to get an instance, 1.5 hrs in the instance clearing it, and before the last boss I crashed and was then separated from my group.

Instance: Sorrows Embrace storymode.
Tried: Accepting prompt, denying prompt and entering manually, relogging, leaving group and being reinvited, dropping group, shutting down the game, getting back in, being reinvited, accepting prompt, doing it all again but not accepting prompt and going in manually, zoning in and using a waypoint, dying inside and using a waypoint. Nothing worked.

Please for the love of Dwayna fix this, getting a group together for a legit (non-speed run non farming) group to actually experience the content is RIDICULOUSLY hard because people apparently hate doing stories. When I actually get a group together and traverse these challenging instances (which I love by the way) getting to not finish them because of a crashing bug and then a separation bug is EXTREMELY frustrating.
