Guild Wars 2

Hi, tried grouping with a few people to do some explorer mode runs but i was the only one who wasn’t able to enter the explorer mode, kept putting me in the story mode when ever i tried to enter, there were others in the group who hadn’t done the story mode like me but were able to enter explorer modes fine.
im lvl 80

its not only you, everyone on our server has this problem

was twilight arbor and citadel of flame, im on Gandara but it also happened to me on Desolation

It happened to my team one week ago in Twilight Arbor (on Sanctum of Rall). In my case the issue was with one player of the team only. We did multiple attempts and when this guy was in the team with us the option to get explorer mode was not available. To fix it, we asked this guy to log out and log in again… and it worked.

happens when you have one or more active ‘instance hosts’ in party. just tell them to reset their instances and you will be fine. you can reset instance you created by switching to your other character.

its not a bug from the programmers point of view. i mean, its nothing wrong because game allows all 5 players in party have their own instance created (if they create it before joining party).

its design bug – that there is no clear indication about number of instances already created by players.

typical scenario: 5 player party goes to dungeon, that means 1 of them becomes dungeon instance host. lets take unfortunate event when that said dungeon fails, bugs or for some other reason players decide to leave it. pay attention here – because dungeon was not cleared, its still open to any party that said ‘dungeon host’ joins later.

lets say other party with 4 players hosted other dungeon instance. they invite 1 more player, and that 1 more player happen to be that ‘dungeon host’ from other party where dungeon wasn’t finished. in this case those 4 first players will go to their instance, and that 5th player will return to his ‘own’ instance.

the only way for them to get to same instance, is to ‘destroy’ one of those intances. e.g. 1 of hosts changes character and resets his instance.

P.S. most players are aware of this design flaw, and don’t have a problem with it, as relogging twice is not big deal. on the other hand.. new players who don’t know about this suffer and get frustrated.

yea happerns all the time when we pug for ac usualy have to get everyone to switch characters then back again to fix it gets frustrating but what else can you do ….im on blackgate server just to let the devs know

They just need to add a pull down menu to reset the instances except ones with daily timers (if there are any, lvl 30 at the moment) and all would be good in the world. Hint Hint
