This instance is expired.

I'm trying to do War and Wardrobe (funny how not everyone is rushing through the new content, I know), and when I zone into Crow's Resting Place in the Down Below, I immediately get the following: This instance has expired. This instance will expire in 0.0 seconds. This instance has expired.

And then, it kicks me out. Fun! (I've logged, zoned, rebooted...) Did Fippy forget to pay his rent?

That's been happening to my wife and I for months. Was mainly in the KA zones it was doing it. We just zoned back in after we both got out.

Getting it a fair few times in the new PoP instances too. Sadly not a new bug.

I tried five or six times before giving up -- it never let me stay in the zone long enough to accomplish what I needed to do.

Not a isolated issue either, I am having the same problem with this instance while doing War and Wardrobe. I managed to get the ace, but never to Fippy before it spits you back out into the Down Below.

Glad to see I am not the only one with the issue, just tried a dozen fixes before coming here.

This is also happening to me with the Chamber of the Keeper instance, which is a variant of the Sanctum of Fear required for the 'Screaming Mace' heritage quest. The normal Sanctum of Fear works fine, but the heritage quest instance kicks me out every time before I can get my update.

It also happens in the instances in Maldura and Icy Keep and Rum Distillary.

Found another broken instance...

Shattered Vale: Bristlebane's Basin

Also happening for "Tobrin's Former Domain" for the HQ "An Eye for Power". Kind of hard to do epic 2.0 if you can't do the required HQ's.

Same here Jim, me and my gf can't progress our Mage Epic 2.0s due to this. Probably started to affect the old zones with this newest update.

• All zones previously set up as lockout zones have been migrated to persistent instance zones. This mostly effects older content and will not affect any current expansion zones.

My wizard is having the same issue with "Tobrin's Former Domain" for the HQ "An Eye for Power". for the mage epic 2.0.
I will mention this in the ticket.

Would really like to finish Epic 2.0 guys. We can't progress due to this BUG

Going to submit ticket as well.

That's been happening sometimes for ages. Could some weird sync issue between the servers like one server sending the player into "Crows Resting place #47110815", and the zone server can't find that instance and says. "Hm, weird...that zone must already be expired...yep' that's probably it." and sends the client back to the parent zone. Or something like that. Bottom line is: must not be an easy fix or it would already be fixed. Try again until you succeed?

I think this issue is separate from the ones in the past. Before you could typically zone out and zone back in no problem. This happens 100% of the time for zones that were previously Lockout timer zones.

Same here. So frustrating.

And same here, very very frustrating.

And now I'm stuck on a 2nd Heritage quest because of this bug. *sigh*

A bunch of these should have a fix included for tomorrow's update (12/19/2017)

Huzzah!

The Down Below (under Qeynos) is also bugged (need it for my epic 1.0) says instance has expired and boots me almost immediately.
