Manually join another player's instance

[Naunet]

I'd rather it just keep players in parties together when zoning and move them to the lowest populated map of the three. If all the maps are full, default to the current behavior.

Yes, this would work too. Logical.

As it is, it feels pretty half-assed.

Why would they put the time, money and effort in making a feature that would not stay for a long time?

Just because it's temporary is no reason to do a shoddy job. Folk should really have higher standards for a world-class development company like this. No matter what people think of the budget SE gives this game's devs, it's not like it's being made on an indie game's budget. They can make a functional UI.

Can we please get an option to manually change our Instance channel in zones? Or at least a menu option when I right click a party member to join their Instance. Any MMO with split-zone functionality has this option, because it's a pain in the butt otherwise. As it is, I'm pretty much always playing with my husband and we can't teleport anywhere or risk getting put in a different instance.

I'm not sure how this made it to live without one, but please add some way to manually join another's instance!

Agreed, I wrote a post about the same issue and was told I was attempting to use some form of loophole exploit, when all I wanted to do is be in the same zone as my wife. It needs to be remedied, how social is a game that deliberately separates friends and family attempting to play together?

Bumping this because every time I leave the House of the Fierce my husband and I get split up.

SE, you've had like 2 years to not half-ass his instancing thing. Just let us join the instance of party lead or something...

Well SE simply just doesn't understand the meaning of things like not half-assing stuff, what upgrading servers normally actually means, or the fact that DEVs should normally actually test things more properly before just shoving it off to the live servers.

Or to put it all more simply. Half-assed is SE's middle name.

Because it'll be used in every future expansion and it's a giant PITA every time a new one releases.
