Same issue here, on PC NA.

@ZOS_GinaBruno

Could this be related to the hotfix?

Appears to be PC NA server-wide

Yeah, so trader change tonight will be fun, if no one can group... Time to up that bid!

Same problem: had a trial on PCNA but raid lead could not invite group members. Manual invites, auto-invites, or even inviting by proximity to other characters, all failed. This started happening around 5pm EST.

This is killing so many raid groups right now. @ZOS_GinaBruno can we at least get confirmation that you all are aware and working on this. It seems like maybe someone tried staging tomorrow's hotfix and it went prod?

edit:adding @ZOS_BillE @ZOS_KaiSchober @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_AntonioP

They know of it, it was noted in the general discussion thread, doubt they will be in a hurry to actually fix it. They fix one thing only to break something more essential, usual story. Midyear Mayhem with no grouping, what fun.

There was an issue over the weekend that affected manual grouping for players. This issue should now be resolved after the recent maintenance. If anyone still encounters an issue with grouping please let us know.

The issue is still there even after maintenance. I got the issue 10 minutes ago. I invited a friend, he didnt get my invite, so i invited him again. He got 2 invites and accepted one. He got failed to join group messages. Now we cant invite anyone or get invited. It will always end up with a failed to join group message directly after the invite. This also prevents the characters from being queued in any activity. It feels like we are both members of a corrupted invisible group now that we cant leave. Reloging or reloading the UI has no effect.
