My L80 character that completed his personal story is no longer able to exit any “personal” instances except via waypoint (expensive) or PvP portal to HotM -> Lion’s Arch.
Locations verified affected:
1. All “Home” instances in all cities
2. Durmand Priory Interior (as that is the order he joined)
3. Caer Aval in Fort Trinity
Observations:
The bug does not affect shared instances such as dungeons, only “personal” instances. The “exit instance” icon that usually would be located above the minimap is missing and there is no exit portal/exit dialog window if the exit location is approached.
Bizarrely, when in a “Home” instance such as Salma District in Divinity’s Reach, all waypoints in the city suddenly require a minimum payment of 1s 39c to use instead of zero. Locations outside cities, such as Caer Aval or the Priory are worse as the instance map is not necessarily anywhere near the exterior location so waypoint costs are much higher. The end result is that the character is “trapped” in the instance and has to pay to exit or must use the PvP HotM portal to bypass.
Alt characters that have not completed their personal stories are unaffected as the floating green mission guide marker does provide an exit dialog prompt.
Personal Note: This bug would not be an issue if waypoint travel was FREE but as it isn’t, other than using the PvP bypass workaround (and having to gate thru Lion’s Arch every time I need to exit such an instance) it becomes an annoyance.
Please Fix. Thank You.
