Daddicus.6128 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I'm trying to use the portal to Tyria at the center of the Mistlock Sanctuary (MS). However, it says "you do not have access to this map". Is this a known bug? Or, a one-off? I did log out from inside the MS. Maybe that broke something?

Did you have trouble with all the destinations? Or just one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddicus.6128 Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 I only tried the one, because it's so hard to get to normally. I've had this character there for months. But, if you're not having trouble, my bet is that it's because I logged out while in the MS. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddicus.6128 Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 OK, I am able to go to Hoelbrak. So, I reported it, and I'll write a warning on the wiki. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddicus.6128 Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 OK, I tried a bunch of ways, even going to MS from the guild hall. All worked fine. So, I'll chalk it off to a one-time glitch. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner.4621 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 It only remembers your last location through a single play session. If you log off in MS, yeah it won't remember where to send you back to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you log off in MS, yeah it won't remember where to send you back to. It remembers when you log off. I park the occasional character there when I quit out of the game. When I go back in it remembers the last map I was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegeta.2563 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 It's a bug along the lines of like going to the guild hall using the MS pass .. then logging out and back in it'll want to take you back to the guild hall which you can't do normally.

Daddicus.6128 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Yeah, I've done various permutations of the above several times since this post, and all worked fine. So, I suspect a one-time (or uncommon) glitch. Not worth worrying about any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddicus.6128 Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Well, I spoke too soon. It just happened to me again yesterday. Character was in the MS for several days both times. I think there is an end-case that's preventing return after some period of time away (specifically, going to and from the guild hall, home instance, and the Mists from the MS.)

Cragga the Eighty Third.60 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 If you teleport to Mistlock from an instance (say, guild hall or home instance or story) and then try to use the Return to Previous Map portal choice, or double-click the MS key, you will get that response. Or at least I do. I just assumed it doesn't work with instances at all, just regular maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddicus.6128 Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Actually, earlier in this thread I mention that I tried numerous permutations of back-and-forth between the same places (instances, WvW, Guild Hall, etc.) Generally, it works properly. Even after logging out and shutting down the game. Even after a reboot. But, rarely (it seems), you can get left in limbo. It has happened twice to me so far (about 2 weeks apart, from my first post Nov 30 to yesterday). So, I think it's a bug, but it will be devilishly hard for the devs to hunt it down. (Intermittent bugs are always the worst to chase.) I reported it in-game both times, but I suspect those will get written off as one-time glitches unless more data is brought forward. The fact that it DOES work most of the time implies that it SHOULD work, so it truly is a bug. But, how on earth do we document it so ANet has a snowball's chance in that fiery place to figuring it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragga the Eighty Third.60 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Okay. I never seemed to be able to go back from the guild hall to my home instance, so when I got the Not Available message, I just assumed that going back to instances wasn't a thing.

Daddicus.6128 Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 Yeah, you can go back to the guild hall from an instance by using the guild panel. I did that many times while testing out the permutations. I also did other instances where they made sense (home instance and WvW). They seem to mostly work seamlessly with the Mistlock Sanctuary. But, on occasion, you can't get back to the map you originally left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least I do. I just assumed it doesn't work with instances at all, just regular maps. Just adding to this conversation for the record; it looks a bug, pure and simple. It happened to me just now with a character I'd had on the Matriarch's platform in VB. Used my MS Passkey to get into Mistlock; tried to use the portal to take me back to the platform and got the message. In between the two I'd been playing on a different character, and had logged in to the first character a couple of times without taking it out of Mistlock - but I have lots of characters, I regularly swap between them during sessions, and I normally leave them parked in Mistlock (sometimes for weeks). I suspect that it had simply lost track of my correct "previous location" - I've seen that before once or twice, when I've used "too many" portals, scrolls and the like in quick succession. Although it's only happened once or twice, and I regularly use the following complex sequence without problem: Start in Rata Sum; Enter Home instance and loot; Enter Guild Hall (without first exiting Home Instance) and loot; Use Mistlock Sanctuary Passkey (without first exiting Guild Hall) and manage my inventory; Swap to other characters and play some more; Log out; Log in after reset on my first character again; Use portal to Tyria (ending up back at the correct location in Rata Sum).
