How do we change instances?

[Perogi Palooka]

Got a group invite from someone on Swamps#5, and I'm in Swamps#2.

When you get group invite either you, or another player get a notification to change layers (it's Y to accept). If that didn't happen disband the squad and try again

[TDIXV]

Hello! You need to accept the squad invite, and select "Yes" in the instance change notification on the left side of the screen, or you can join the squad, go to Cordon and return to Swamps

After joining a squad, there is no notification for joining the same instance.
Me and my friend are trying to try this together, and he is stuck in #5 zones, while i'm stuck in #2 with no clear ways to join the same instance. Leaving the zone safe area out into the wilderness and returning doesn't seem to do anything either.

You need an easier way to actively join the same instance. Achievable easier by adding a button or something in the squad menu. Or, you could just add the ability to change instance on the map. Maybe in safe zones? Just something for us to be able to actually do this.

Could it be you are not seeing the notification? It should pop up right above chat window, try opening chat and you might see it. It will not be shown if you are a squadleader, though

Why on earth has this not been implemented yet? It's still impossible to change instance # without the notification? Silly design. Also nearly impossible to google the solution to this problem.

For anyone still confused: you can open the "Notifications" tab in your PDA and find the "Your squad is in another server" notification to swap to the proper instance after being invited. Notifications only appear about 5% of the time on the left side of my screen, so knowing to go into the PDA notifications to change server instance is kinda ridiculous. Put a 'move instance' button somewhere in your game like everyone else in the history of game development.

Would it surprise you it's still not a thing in 2024.

it is very much not a thing, by design.
Instances are used to matchmake based on gear, if I,in full purples could just select an instance with newbies running in whites... that would be bad.

When joining the other guy, it could be that he is in a lower gear instance than you, so only he can join you, and not the other way around.

its all for balance.
