I have only seen this when trying to go to the wrong entrance.

I have, however, heard it happens to people on the correct entrance.

Lately, all I've been directed to is the sand pit in Oasis. It lets me in every time.

I've had it happen 3 times. Twice at the entrance in Sro, and once at the southern entrance in everfrost. It's really annoying.

Sounds like that means that the max capacity was met. I'm sure there's a limit on the number of instances that can go on at one time.

Yeah I have gotten that quite a few times as well. I figured it was a full dungeon. But wouldn't you think that they could come up with something better than "too dangerous right now"? Sorry kids but mommie won't let you play in there until she checks for bad guys!

I have had this happen 2 times, door in Oasis, grave in LFay and portal in Everfrost.

The message is a little ambiguous any word from Sony what this actually means or are they trying to hide a nasty error behind an uninformed roleplaying style message.

As for the instances being full I don't think it is as I mainly play offpeak. Do people see these messages coming up more often in peak time or weekends?

In all cases we ran back to the wayfarer's grabbed a new mission and went on our way.

Could this be an error where you are assigned an instance yet when you are ready to enter the number is taken by another group?

Ok, this is something of the type that I heard from someone's cousin's best friend's neighbor's brother's barber's customer's dog.

There's is a 20 minute (or something) minimum time required before you can enter a dungeon again, right after you have just finished an adventure (whether successful or not).

To the posters earlier, did you just finish an adventure, then get a new adventure immediately, then as a result you got the message?

I'd like to confirm whether there is really a minimum time requirement between dungeon adventures.

I've gotten it twice, both times it was our first dungeon of the evening. We petitioned both times -- one guide said some dungeon zones were down and being restarted, and ours was one of them. The other said it happened when a zone type was full. /shrug In both cases we were able to get a new adventure and enter it (a failure without anyone entering does not count as a failure on the win/loss board).

Was this in Everfrost? There was a support thread a while ago that mentioned problems with the Everfrost adventure... don't think there was a resolution.

It's a bug. Had a conversation with GM on Mith Marr when it happened to my group. We had to abort the adventure, take the loss and get a new adventure. Worked fine then at same entrance. GM suggested we /bug it so maybe if we all do it when it happens, they might actually fix it.

The "loss" for aborting an adventure doesn't get recorded. Even though you get a failed message on screen, its not put on your rankings record.

I've had this happen to me since the first weekend of LDoN. It seemed to only happen when we finished an adventure in around 30 minutes, and went to get another. I'm not sure if that truely was the case though. Reforming our group, or even camping, didn't seem to help. Eventually we quit the adv and got another. After a few tries, we were able to zone in.

Actually, you can't even request a new adventure during this time. You get a message like, "You need to rest some before you cfan request a new adventure." I believe this happens if you try to get a new adventure 30mins after zoning into (note: not requesting) an adventure.
