Respen's Bugged - PUGing = Broken Instance

just tried to do respen's game on two different toons.
queue fired for both toons just fine, then I was stuck in a instance that had NO progression. I was able to move around and use Zone chat, but none of us could move past a bridge that was just around the wall w/ the NW written on it.
quit on both toons after a couple of minutes of not being able to move on.
hope this gets fixed Very Soon!

The queue is not smart enough to understand that something has gone wrong to prevent progress and keeps trying to fill the instance as people drop from the party. In fact, it makes the bugged instance a priority because it's trying to make a full party, which is why you kept getting dropped in there.
Queue in a full group instead of solo and you will always get a fresh instance. Even queuing with one friend you've got better chances of not being dropped into a bugged instance.
I suspect the only way to for sure clear up a buggy instance (without maint to take the servers down) would be if everyone in the party agreed to disconnect (not drop party) that character for 10-15 minutes. The instance would finally register as empty and be deleted.

I suspect the instance is there like the molasses swamp, and it is going to keep catching people until something happens to kill it. You just have to get lucky and queue when it is full.
It's annoying as all get out, but at least we can get around it.
Seems about right.
Definitely need a "Hey X number of people have dropped, void this" line of code.
"Nope, just my away team" the trill replies before ordering a round for the bar.
Not an auspicious start to a weekend event.
Tried to get into the skirmish, 13 times, and it kept taking me to the bugged one! Not one to ***** much, but this is ridiculous!
You can move about but cannot start it or anything.
Is this event gonna be fixed soon or are you guys gonna extend it for a few days as ppl really want to try this event but its so bugged its almost a joke!
I have tried re-queue-ing for a while now and still not fixed.
cheers
It's very disheartening and disenchanting to have this sort of issue when an event opens.
So it would be nice to have an OFFICIAL announcement when it's fixed. Because right now I don't see the point in queueing if all that's going to happen is that I'm going to get stuck w/ instances that don't work.
I managed to play in an un-bugged instance of "The Forrest of Peril" turns out that it is dropping players at the spot where the second campfire spawns in. Still not sure how it happened, but the more info we give the designers the better.
It really does still suck though that pugging is borked most of the time. I sure hope they hotfix it and extent the event, as I am sure I am not the only one who got fed up trying and many probably don't look for a premade like I did. Which shouldn't be a "work-around" and left as is. It should be fixed and the event extended for however long it was left unfixed.

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.
instance with 4 other confused people popping in and out. *SIGH*
I really like the game when I played in April, too.
I take it it's not going to be fixed this time, either, since they're
gone for the weekend... and didn't fix it in the last 6 months.
You'd think you would have worked out the bugs this year.
Please fix this PWE
And I have tried DOZENS OF TIMES. I need 12 runs for the dice for a Pocket Pet.
But great idea about forming a party.
I wish they would fix this sort of nonsense. It's hardly worth bringing it back, as there was a different bunch of people every time I went in there, so there must be a lot of people feeling pretty chumped.
When I was leader, I even tried kicking everyone and then leaving myself, hoping to empty the broken instance, but just got stuck back in the same one.
I reported a bug several times and asked everyone else to do the same, so I hope they can find some way of making the code check for broken instances.
This used to happen with Cloak Tower every single time you queued. We had to form a party and enter through the door "with current team".
THAT took about a year to fix. The first Daily Dungeon you get from Rhix, broken for a year.
