Yeah to be clear the Mesmer isn’t required, it’s just nice to have a portal in case anyone in your party doesn’t have jackal mount. Ideally everyone does and no Mesmer portal needed.

There are a few rooms where you can only reach them through a jackal portal.

Probably should have mentioned this sooner, but make sure you have a mesmer with a jackal portal if you want to make it through the raid on day one.

I thought you stated in a previous thread that you would fix this in the 'next' hotfix? Did something happen or am I misremembering what you said. That was the change for adding a confirmation when merging parties with squads, specifically to stop fractal trolling, which is now live. Other merge types follow different code paths and have different associated design concerns and differences.

I have some ideas thanks to a player report. I'm going to try to repro this again next time I'm in office.

I am not able to reproduce this internally. If I have 4 clients separated into two squads, both with a commander leader, only the commander can initiate a merge. I also confirmed this to be the case on live thanks to some players testing it for me. There could be an edge case that we missed, if anyone can figure out a way to reproduce this please PM me (Don't post it here) how you did it so I can work on a fix. As of now, without reproducing it I can't fix it. Parties merging into parties is getting looked at separately.

This should be fixed. No patch note because I didn't write one (my bad). As of now, you must confirm a squad merge when merging party > squad. Squad > squad can still merge without confirmation if there is no commander squad leader. Party > party can still merge without confirmation. Let me know if you have any other issues relating to this.

Just had this happen 2x in a row on Ensolyss @ 33%. Wasted almost my entire morning before work. Please fix. I'm sorry this has happened. I have a fix that will ship with PoF.

This has been moved to the top of my priority list, and I am investigating code solutions as we speak. I have contacted CS but I can't comment on any action that would be taken against the perpetrators, both because I don't know, and because it isn't for me to say.
