Character Position is not saved [Merged]
Can confirm, getting constant position “rollbacks”.
Quick workaround: Enter WvW and exit it again, this will save your current position.
Having this problem as well. Even after I go out and farm a few nodes when I log out and back in later it puts them back to the original location.
This and constant crashes when I change to any other character in Cursed Shore to do a bit of node farming.
Other people reporting this in /map and /say too.

Thanks everyone for the reports, we are looking into this now.

Good idea; seems to work. Probably won’t help if you DC, mind.
Looks like a bug where u stuck at same location after relog
I have this issue but i’ll log out and when I log back in I am in a place I was at about 5 minutes before logging out. I thought it just meant the place became contested or something but when I check on the map, it won’t be contested.
This has been an issue for quite some time.. if you are out of bounds, or in a position that might be considered questionable, you end up at a defined map “Start.”
The way around this is to not use “character select” but to exit the game completely, restart, then select the next character you wish to play.
I believe it started around the time that the new LA appeared.
me as well – doesn’t matter where you are on logout, you will go to the initial zone waypoint on re-entry.

I was being moved every time but it was back to the spot I logged in on. Not at the beginning WP.
This happened to me tonight as well. I logged in shortly after reset and cycled several chars through the “tree temple” in Malchor’s Leap. There was an ori node above the nearby waterfall, near the JP, and I logged out there. When I came back a couple hours later, I got a “bad game data” dialog, chose not to allow the repair tool to run, logged in and found all my characters’ position had reset to where they were when I logged in after reset. NOT a nearby waypoint.
After logging into each one of them and then restarting the game, the game data error dialog was gone, and the positions “stuck” where they should.

Same problem for me this morning (UTC+1). The position of my character in Malchor’s Leap was reset to where I started yesterday evening. At the end of the evening I died foolishly to more NPC’s I could handle so I WPed to the Pagga’s Post to repair my armour. This morning I started almost next to the cluster of Cypress Saplings, armour fully repaired.
I think my character at the flax farm at Jakka Itzel WP started where I left it yesterday, but that was probably close to where it started that day. I will test my other characters.
A hour later: I don’t see a problem with my other characters. They started where I left them yesterday.

I have the same issues for quite a while now but since the last update it got significantly worse. I am stuck with every single character (35 characters) at the last location before the update. Using another computer doesn’t change this. Farming and/or doing events doesn’t seem to help but the only thing that seems to work is entering WvW every time. Thank you for this tip!
Im porting back to the last waypoint used every time when i log out or swap characters
Relogging places my character at the previously used waypoint.
That problem seems to affect not only the character location but also Inventory; I was salvaging loot in DR I’ve got from pvp chests and I did deposit stuff that pop – then, network error happened, game kicked me out to character screens and when I log in again – I landed at DR’s Queensdale entrance with loot again in my Inventory.
This also happened to me along with other issues.
I have same problem… My blood is boiling by rage
Yep, same thing here. And it’s NOT an old bug, we’re talking about a different thing here.
Situation still occurring. Reported bug in game a few times. Problem has repeated itself on all restarts. Character appears in different location than when game was exited. Progress of game, items earned in game seem to remain on account, but location is reverted back to previous area. Getting very frustrating.
I can confirm that this has been happening to my characters ever since the patch went live yesterday.
Same problem here. I have encountered this serious problem. My characters are changing their positions after logging to game – usually to last Waypoint they were teleported before loging out, or to positon they were, when I log in yesterday.
This is quite problematic and annoying situation and I hope, that this bug will be quickly eliminated.

Same problem since the patch
Aye, still occuring this evening. EU/UK
Happens a lot to me randomly as well, with what other people have said but as well when I go into someplace like wvw then guild hall right after that, if I try and exit the guild hall and go back to pve, I’ll end up in Lions Arch like 50% (not sure actually percentages but it feels like a fair amount) of the time. Or say head into pvp lobby then into wvw and log out from wvw. If I log back in and am in the pvp lobby if I exit the lobby to get back to pve I’ll end up in Lions Arch almost every time, and any combination of pvp/guild/wvw order if I go into two of those, one right after another and then log out and come back in later and try route back to pve I’ll most of the time end up in Lions Arch. Doesn’t look like from what I can tell, matters what map or place I’m in, in pve. Been all over when this does happen and when it doesn’t.
the same here is very annoying
It looks like it’s fixed
Just logged in and it transfered me back at a other point i thought it was fixed?
relogging place my character at the waypoint in the lowest level area of a zone. what could be considered the entry area for the zone.
