The zone-in to the Erudin zones is a catastrophe.

[mafoe]

<p>Not only is the zone-in to the 3 heroic zones not zonewide, which would be pretty darn superb because of the lacking/annoyingly slow transportation to Marred Plateau, but the worst of it is...</p><p>zoning in to Erudin Library, getting an "instance expired", and being booted to the Intercontinental Transport Station at the other side of the Stonebrunt map. I want to beat somebody hard whenever that happens.</p>

<p>Hahahaha, yeah.. that's happened to me quite a few times, boxing whole groups too. Much fun. Eject on failed zones needs to be moved to the zone in point. Also i don't remember if it's the case or not but i'm pretty sure it doesn't tell you other people are saved to a different zone until after you already fly up and try to zone in. Anyway, having one person drop, make the zone and then inviting them back to group will mitigate much of the frustration, but it definately needs to be fixed one way or another.</p>

<p>what i dont get. is we FLY in on the disk thing, but we zone out with a little obilisk thing inside the instance, becaus there was no where for the disk thing to land once inside...</p><p>it would cut down on the fun factor a bit, but maby the zone in should have been the same clickable obilisk things as the zone outs. would solve the zoneing issues a bit.</p>

<p>Fixing the 3-year old "this instance has expired" bit would be a nice place to start. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/97ada74b88049a6d50a6ed40898a03d7.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>Try letting just 1 person zone in first to get an instance going.  Obviously doesn't work every time, but has a much better chance than everyone going at the same time.</p>

<p>I think the original point of the Erudin zone in's was that you would "fly" up to one of the little islands you can see up there.  For whatever reason, they didn't take it to the logical conclusion and actually fly you up to one of those islands to find a door to click.</p><p>It sure would have made a lot more sense that way.  I'm just sayin' . . .</p>

<p>Great, guys. Really amazing.</p><ol><li>No zone-wide zone-in to Erudin zones.</li><li>Getting booted from any Erudin zone puts you at Intercontinental Transportation platform at the other side of Stonebrunt Highlands.</li><li>When you kill Gloom Cavalier Faris and zone out, his disc doesn't move up anymore, preventing progress in the zone.</li><li>That bugged Erudin Royal Palace (or "Erudin Royal Palace") is not resettable for me because in my list of locked zones, it doesn't appear. In my list of all zones it appears, but the reset button is greyed out and no lock is shown, yet when I zone in I only get the old (existing) instance.</li></ol><p>And the best: when I petitioned no. 3, I got no response for hours, then got told that all support people are busy.</p><p>/dance</p>
