It is literally impossible to map complete 'Domain of Kourna'

[fury.5926]

The last PoI "Research Vault Beta" is only accessible from a "Kill mutated rats" and "Follow Researcher Emm" event line which literally never triggers. Apparently this bug has been going on for years and has been reported in the forums as early as 2018. How is this acceptable? This is an LS4 map from recent content. Please please please look into this and somebody fix this.

It's designed that way.

I did the event and map completion there about a week ago, so it wasn't bugged then

Same. I'm on the NA servers, if that makes a difference.

Its designed terribly though. If an event is required to access a space, and that event has bugged out since launch then that should be changed IMO, and this bug has existed since the map came out.

Well good thing you don't gain anything but map currency from completing the maps anyway

I know of no bug. I've completed this event dozens of times, and never had a problem with it.

 

However, it doesn't start at the PoI. It's an event chain that starts up by Arkjok Farmlands.

I've seen Emm stuck in Kourna for a couple of days now.

He simply is twitching back n forth in the same location.

 

I would suggest to file an ingame report, and also to change the title to "Researcher Emm Stuck in Kourna" so that Anet can see what the issue is, straight from the title.

Whilst you await a fix, make sure to try immediately after the Wintersday Patch next Tuesday when all maps (and associated events) are reset.

 

Good luck.

I've never had any problems with this event either. Completed the map with 9 characters so far and every time the event just runs its course until I can unlock the PoI. I'm on EU servers.

OP - use the search function

It *is* a bug, and it *has* been reported, and nothing has been done *since it's introduction*. Emm is currently twitching on a bunch of rocks on ip 227 near the farm, trying to start the event but not actually doing anything. This exact ip has had this same issue for at least 10 hours now. It was like this before I went to sleep last night. (EDIT - He's still there, still the same IP over 30 hours since I first saw him.) (Second edit - it's now been over 50 hours since I first saw him stuck on this ip, lots of other people checking on him too.)

 

I appreciate the want to comment "this isn't a problem for me", but it *is* a problem. Just because you haven't encountered said problem does not mean it doesn't exist.

On top of this, if you are intending on doing map comp there on alt characters, park them at the entrance. That way when the event nears the end you can switch characters and run them all into the cave before the event ends. I was able to get the poi on about 11 characters that way.
