MOD 14 - Barovia Limited to seeing 2-3 instances Max?

So many forced to exit to PE or another Social Zone like Port, or Caer-Konig before you TRY to travel back, but that not always a guarantee. 97% of the time you only see 1, 2 maybe 3 instances MAX if you lucky.

On the Rare occasion you can see 50-70 or more with the almost full instances at the TOP; then the full instance of 20 at the bottom... Yet the funny thing is there will often be several with 0 players (as many as 10 or more), many with 1 (like 10+), and several with 2-3 players in them... which I thought was odd since I didn't think Hunts should be showing is the list of active Instances - yet that's the ONLY reason I can assume why the odd time I see all instances there so many with 0 or just 1 player in them?

This makes it extremely inconvenient to finding and switching to the BHE.. Though I'm not sure if this is only limited to Bravaria though?

    Strange after seeing only 2 instances max while in Bravaria and at most maybe 3… At one point I did see like 25-30 instances while I joined a party with a friend in Bravaria but 95% of the time it only shows you 1-3 at the very very most!

    Yet while in PE it always shows all instances.

    While in Bravaria you have no choice but to jump back to PE to get back to the instance with your friends.

    Until the last patch there were over 100 Barovia/Ravenloft instances, now 1-3 is my norm even though many others are mentioned in chat.

    Yea I thought I originally saw the full instance too at least until the first post MOD 14 or second post MOD 14 patch. But perhaps that to is a misunderstanding it only started after one or two of the Ravenloft patches; cause there are still times where I can still see almost 70 instances. It's just rarely happens and often only remains for several minutes before disappearing again?

    Yes its true but if you are in a different instance and want to join a party .. Join them Port out and back and you should be able to join them.. its a bit slower but works.

    If the one who invents you also invented others, make sure the others leave Barovia or already in the proper instance before you go back to Barovia. Otherwise, you have a good chance going to the wrong instance.

    Same here. I ask for an invite, leave the zone, come back. Hopefully, I'm in the same zone as my party.
    I aim to misbehave

    It doesn't work no matter what instance others in the party are in. It's just poor programming and no testing.

    Same issue here, and just about every vocal member of my alliance that has been to Barovia has encountered the same issue. Leaving the zone, logging out, coming back hours later, and still getting stuck in the SAME instance and unable to switch. Makes doing the Yester Hill heroic damn near impossible because you can't just instance switch to an active one. And half the time, joining a party and then leaving zone and coming back doesn't put you in that parties instance, either. Even if there's plenty of space in the instance. This needs to be fixed.
