[Exploit] Resetting an instance

[Khelidon]

Hey all !

Here comes another AoC exploit
If you want to reset an instance, it's quite simple, you just have to change group outside the cleared instance, enter the instance again and then leave your group !
Et voila !

1. Clear any instance (Solo or grouped)
2. Leave the instance
3. Group with another person
4. Enter the instance again (BEFORE LEAVING GROUP)
5. Once inside the instance, leave group

Enjoy !

Question:
Does this work with solo only instances? like the ones that say (bound to: *Name*)
cause those things like dont ever reset.

I think you are referring to quest instance (like the volcano of tortage, or the destiny quest caves at lvl 30...) I don't know if you can reset these ones.

The instance I'm mentionning are the real instance (normal or heroic) like bubshur mansion, black castel, etc...

I tried this method at 3am today and it didn't work on BOUND single-player instances... absolutely nothing would reset the instance.
EDIT: the instance is not completely cleared. If I was to completely clear it, even Boss, then I'll have completed the quest and won't get access to the instance anymore.

(Which really really sucks because the instance scales with the player and gives 800 to 1000 XP per kill at level 49)

I'm not going to enter the half-cleared instance until FC completes another software update. Maybe they'll do a reset as part of their update. If so, I'm never going to complete the quest until I'm 80

so last night I found that the instance bound to me was reset and completely populated with mobs again.

All I did the night before was click UNBIND (you need to be group leader and try to enter the instance) and then I logged out for about 12 hours. NOTE: the "Unbind" has no apparent immediate effect.

So last night I again killed a bunch of mobs in my bound instance but left the quest mob alive. I did not "Unbind" before logging out. I logged out when I was standing next to the instance door (outside of the instance).

So, if tonight the mobs are not re-spawned then I theorize that "Unbind" works, just not immediately.
But If the mobs are re-spawned then I theorize that you just need to log out for a period of time before a bound instance is reset and that "Unbind" has no purpose.
