Yep at least one instance is bugged, you can walk around a little but not start it actually. It was bugged last year as well. Was not fixed.
And we paid 30.000 dollars for that?

Honestly, is anything working in this game? Well why should events be any different from the rest of the game? Broken events for a broken game...
I hate dancing with Lady Luck. She always steps on my toes.

knimera906 critical hit Perfect Wolrd for 638562803(587387635) damage
I got on last evening and queued for the event 3 times in a row, each time I got a bugged instance like OP described. I waited for about 5 minutes and queued 2 more times and again got bugged instances.
At that point I went to bed for 7 hours. When I tried the instance again when I got up it was once more a bugged one. I waited for about 3 minutes and tried again to find a bugged instance.
Joy!

This is also an issue for me. You join party and are placed in a dead zone, there's no way to get out of it, only to leave party, rejoin a new one and end up in same spot. Thanks for posting bug report and Devs please help!

"Last request - microtransactions for alllll old skins for zen/weapon appearance changes, 500 zen to make ur wep glow the color/enchant you want it... You will make more off that one item than any other zen item ever made." freshour
"beckylunatic" Gateway AH should have column headers to sort by buyout, bid, end time, quantity, etc. These disappeared iirc with the module launch. It's obnoxious.
Figured out a way to get back to the first fire.
1- Esc - Bring up the Game Menu.
2- Help - Go to the Help and Support screen.
3- Request GM Help - Go to the Request GM Help screen.
4- Stuck - Go to the Stuck screen
5- Unable to progress through a mission - Yep you guessed it another screen.
6- Defeat Me - You will die, just hope no one resurrects you before...
7- Release - "You must let go of the past, it can not be changed."
If you follow these steps you will end up back at the first fire, most likely with all of the associated problems of dying. But if you don't want to be stuck in the endless loop every one will have to do it.
Good luck.
Hey thanks! While this did get me to the original spawn point and it even allowed me to enter alone, the 1st quest giver was bugged, he just wasnt there, so I got stuck again there.
@MjrPeachyBottom We're looking into this issue. Thank you for your patience.

I managed to get in to a working event for my 11th and 12th runs. I was party leader at the end of the 11th after someone left prematurely, so I just queued the four of us up again and we got in.
AND.... (drum roll)
I got a Green Slime from the chest!
UNBOUND!
Ta-da-da-da-daa-DAAAAHH!!
So, as I've said before, when it works it works great!
There was a little game, that had a little maze, right in the middle of a forest.
And when it was good it was very, very good! But when it was borked it was HORRID!
Shame I do not need the Companion, and I don't basically agree with monsters as companions and mounts (Ustilagor, Rust Monsters etc), or gear that makes players look like Illithid. The number of times I have tried to kill party members in the Dread Vault...

Agree with GrimFang. It is unplayable now. I cannot get a working run on any Char. Pretty pointless 'event' unless the goal was to highlight poor IT Ops.

Just want to affirm here on the forums that the GMs and Devs are indeed aware of this issue and are looking into fixing it. Alas, we have no ETA that we can share at this time.
FYI, we are investigating applying a hotpatch to this issue so we can continue running the event without bringing the shard down.
Here are a couple ways to try and minimize this issue:
1) Form a pre-made group before you Q and when finished, exit through the gate while staying grouped. Then make sure all party members are out of the instance and do not have "Return to Instance" button on their screen before re-queuing.
2) When PUGing (random queue) and you get in the bad instance, right click your portrait and Leave Party. Then wait a few moments and re-queue and hope the gods are smiling, in a nice way.
Safe travels,

Hotfix should be applied. The queue will not accept new members after the map has been open for 3 minutes or more so eventually a stuck map will properly close down instead of continually attempting to refill.

I got the Pocket Pet for my WK TR (the one that had the Instance problems), so this morning I took in my DO DC and I don't think I had the problem once, so it seems the hot-fix fixed it.
See? They can do it when they have the time to get to it.

Aye, ran the event about 10 or so times in a row last night and did not experience the broken instance at all! Thanks for the fix, Cryptic!
Update: The hotfix should now be applied:Safe travels,

I get disconnected constantly today when attempting the Respen skirmish. Trying to log into an instance, I get disconnected, if I do get in (by login back in in safe mode) when the instance is finished, I get disconnected.
Apart from one Return To Instance bug on my Pathfinder Ranger's last run (and having to boot a self-confessed troll with my GWF Swordmaster), there were no more problems with the Event. My GWF also got an UNBOUND Pocket Pet from the chest on her 8th run!
But is the event going to be extended at all, as it took almost all of two days with my Whisperknife TR and my Divine Oracle DC due to the bug and there's only about an hour left? I wanted to get the pet for my CW as well, maybe my GF.
Cheers!
PS I also got disconnected during one run with my GWF, but just the once.
