Guild Wars 2

Encountered this problem few times on Beta Sky Hammer and Beta Spirit Watch (not had a chance to check other maps).

I was just outside the gates (still on the elevated spawn platform) in the ready up stage and I was not teleported back to within the locked area when the final countodwn started, which in theory could lead to being able to get on point at 15:00 mark.

That’s not a bug !
They said that u won’t get teleported as long as you are in the base .
so they created an area were u won’t get teleported if u stand there before the match begins it’s like 4 steps away from the spawn but if you leave this area while it still counts down u will get teleported back into spawn

There have been some long-standing quirks in PvP that have been cleaned up in a quality-of-life pass to create a more enjoyable experience:
…

• Players are no longer teleported after the spawn doors close when the countdown begins if they are already inside the base. A small effect plays when cooldowns are reset.

the problem (and what OP was reporting) is that there are some areas outside the doors that wont teleport you, and as such during the last 8second countdown before the match starts you can be left outside the gate and run around the map

Oh, sorry if I misread it. It’s just that it recalled me of that patch notes and then why I quoted it.
