"Event Failed To Start."
I think it's a bug of some kind. It happened to me, I waited and in about 30 seconds the event started anyway.
Arc #40529 : The Furies of the Earth
I've noticed that message pops up when someone is zoning during the TUT attempting to gather everyone together. (I sit next to my fiance and watch him zone and I get the message, or the other way around.) I don't know if there are other ways to trigger it.
Perhaps a full-screen window (tailor/respec) or something? though I'm not sure tailor/respec are available while queued. Managing enhancements is available, though. That's a possibility.

61866 - A Series of Unfortunate Kidnappings - More than a coincidence?
2260 - The Burning of Hearts - A green-eyed monster holds the match.
379248 - The Spider Without Fangs - NEW - Some lessons learned (more or less.)
Player Alignments seem to be causing this problem. If you have a mix of Redside/Blueside characters on your team (regardless if they're Rogue/Vigilante alignment), try starting in a co-op zone.
My friends and I had some problems getting a Trial started - the leader was Rogue, whilst the rest of us were the default Hero alignment. Despite several tries, we couldn't get the trial to begin until we disbanded and reformed our team in Pocket D's.
When it happened to me, I was queued solo in Pocket D.
I was so hoping we could solo that mish...but every time I try, it just drops my queue.

"Event Failed to Start. Your group has been placed back in the queue."
I'm getting this message pretty frequently when queued solo for Dr. Kane's mansion. Is this a bug, or Dr. Kane's trial having both a min and max of 4 players?
