Just joined a LFG for a Fractal group while in Mistlock Sanctuary, didn’t get the usual window asking if i wanted to join the party in the Fractals instance. So i walked over to the portal and hit enter. It put me in a different instance (same level) than the rest of the group. It seems that the two portals aren’t connected? I took the Asura portal to Lions Arch and it immediately gave me the normal window to join party.
Gonna assume it’s a bug, but kinda defeats the purpose of having the Mistlock Sanctuary pass if i can’t join groups already in a Fractal.
