Guild Wars 2

My friend created a new asura and I accompanied him on his storyline quests with my asura until last night. When we wanted to continue this evening, I’m not getting any option to join when he enters his instances.

Is this a bug, or was this a change made to the game?

There have been several issues with the prompt to join (stemming from the overflow / parties sticking together bug, I think). What we’ve been having to do is go to a major city, get on the same overflow (NEVER join the real one when it asks you to), and then leave around the same time. Then, once we travel around, we’re still in the same layer of reality, so it’s been pretty reliable about prompting us to join each other’s instances. Hope that helps you out!

There have been no overflows this evening while we’ve been playing, and we were trying to continue his quest from a point inside a major city, Rata Sum. Until now, the prompts to join each other’s instances has been, as you say, pretty reliable, but we can’t get it to work tonight.
