So a elementalist called Martynka on desolation decided to go offline after telling us “too laggy bye” and screwed up the whole party doing Araha explo path Mursaat. The subsitution we got couldnt enter the same instance.

Thx for nothing, after the change that you only get the tokens after last boss, such things really screw you up. Please rethink that decision Anet.

We’re currently looking into solutions for this and another nasty case: Party leader leaving the party and ejecting folks from the dungeon, forcing them to restart.

One of the solutions we’re investigating to the problem you posted though, is for the instance ownership to transition to the new “party leader” so that instead of everyone getting the boot, there is a player in the party who becomes the new owner and the group can continue on.
I’m sure I’m making it sound easier than it really is, but that is one of the solutions we are investigating. There’s a lot of tech magic way beyond my pay-grade that needs to happen, but we are working on a solution to this issue.
