Guild Wars 2

Going through the metrical court portal leading to the Idea Incubation Lab now sends you to some little room with a forcefield which you cannot leave unless you use a waypoint. The consequence of this is that you cannot complete Rata Sum, as the Idea Incubation Lab cannot be accessed without this portal. See the attached screenshot of the destination that going through the portal leads you to.

I also get stuck in the cell if I try to go to the lab directly with the Incubation Waypoint.

Same here. Guess we’ll have to wait for Arenanet to hotfix it?

There was something in the update notes about trespassers being imprisoned. Weird that a location that is necessary to get to would lead to that, though…

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

The Arcane Council was overzealous in their placement of the No Trespassing zone. We’ll lower it so it won’t affect the Idea Incubation Lab.

Go Go zone wide “int his box? TP to jail!”

Why was a No Trespassing zone added anyway?

Outsiders polluted the water.

Rata Sum: The Arcane Council has outlawed swimming in the waters beneath Rata Sum after reports of pollution by non-asuran races. Trespassers will be jailed!

Bookahs should be sent to jail for trying to access the lab.
What if they were to ruin someones research due to their typical stupid clumsiness?

I say “working as intended”.

I’m still having the same issue, and I can’t complete Rata Sum because of it, when will it be fixed?

After the hotfix the portal still doesn’t work, the bug wasn’t fixed.

Any updates on this? I hope this gets fixed soon so I can finish Rata Sum

The bug has still not been fixed. Its the last thing i need for my legendary Fix it fast please.

Wow, one spot in Rata Sum is the last thing you need for your legendary? Amazing! (Early congrats btw)

It wasn’t in the hotfix last night. It’ll be fixed, just a matter of time now.

Of all the places to be transported to..

bug still not fixed

this is quite serius bug – you need this WP to do guild treks (Ideation Leap), which was the only reason, my guild failed guild treks just now

Seems like a weird one to me, is this something Anet would fix pretty quickly or not?

I am also getting to the jailcell when trying to get to the Idea Incubation Lab… this is the last waypoint and poi missing for the whole map completion

Still needs to be fixed.

I having the same problem, Have to fix this bug.

If the zone is meant to prevent people from being in the water, then why is it still possible to swim, only impossible to get to the lab?

Absolutely no way to get in, either through the portal or the spawn beacon. Also prevents completion of the guild trek point.

Also make sure that players can enter the water for the diving goggle achievement.

I already have mine, but it would be a shame to see other players get put into jail trying to dive off of the Idea Incubation Lab… truly… a shame…

PLEASE FIX AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Whilst this is funny, it still sends you directly to jail, do not pass GO, do not collect 200 silver

i really did search for this post… i truly did, but it didnt show up at all. well, im glad my own post bumped this one to my attention, glad it’s been noticed.

I’m having the same problem

I’m still running into this problem as well, although since I’m a roleplayer, I merely laugh it off as my sylvari getting placed somewhere safely away from experiments or research so her curious fingers don’t touch anything important while there.

Really? You made a part of the map that people need to complete tasks etc off limits? Have a word with yourselves and be quick about it!

My guild have failed on the Guild Trek mission because of this stupid bug…
Why one would create such a prohibition at all? what does this add to the game?

Fix it!

Can anyone please answer when we can expect this issue to be resolved?

i dont know why devs had to add a restricted zone (though i have an idea why ) – disabling a portal to a whole zone including poi and waypoint necessary for map completion, location of guild-trek missions and even goggles for diving achievement is a major fail.

All i can say is:
if the asurans dont want other races to polute the water… decrease the size of the goggles ^^ – for asurans sake, put a race-requirement on it

This issue was still not fixed, even with the new update!

Ta taking too long to solve a simple problem.

I’m glad this is a known issue. I thought those painkillers were messing with my mind.

After the reset, this is still bugged. Unbelievable.

I am sorry to say that the fact that this matter has not been fixed yet is truly disappointing. It feels like the people responsible with this are pulling a bad joke on the community. How disgraceful.

It’s inconvenient, but it’s not the zomg drama that some are taking it to be. I really thought it was fallout from the pain meds tho ^^ ha

Still no fix. What’s all that about?

Can you please fix this? You should only be jailed by swimming not zoning! I need the goggles achievement and map completion! Thank you!

This is getting ridiculous. Every time you turn around there’s some new “bug” that pops up preventing people from getting map completion in one way or another. Last week it was the POI near the jumping puzzle in Genderran Fields. Now it’s the Idea Incubation Lab in Rata Sum.

Fix this, I need to go there for my diving master achievement

This will block Guild Trek’s who receive the “Ideation Leap – Rata Sum” screen shot. I suggest it try and be fixed before Saturday or there will be quite a number of unhappy guilds.

Yeah such a lovely thing. I spent a lot of time over the last couple of days to finish my last 30% for the map completion. And Anet believe me it is no fun at all to run all those low lvl areas with my 80 warrior after 5 months of WvW,almost no visits to PvE except for a couple of dungeons and some of the new content. Also that hidden Point of Interest in the Chantry of Secrets almost drove me mad but now there is just one more waypoint and one Point of Interest left to discover. Hm now where could it be …..
Please fix it, that really shouldn’t be too hard.

I just had to do rata sum last >:( This is all i need for my legendary and I can’t progress anymore. Guess I will twiddle my thumb while I wait.

Is there an ETA on when they will try to fix it?

This made me giggle, tbh. A jail cell must be the perfect idea incubation lab (no distractions, no disturbances).

tbh, i expected going in jail when i first travel to ebonhawke with my charr but not because of this lab xD
patience guys…they will fix it the next days!

I remember spawning in one of those jail cells, but it wasn’t from going to the Ideas Incubation Lab.
Me and a couple of friends were trying to slide down one of the sides of Rata Sum to see if it’s possible to get to the bottom without dieing, (It isn’t, there’s an invisible wall over the water) after I died a few times on the way down I tried to re-spawn at the waypoint, but instead I was put in a jail cell. I had to use the waypoint to get out again, but it was pretty funny.
Hopefully they’ll fix the Ideas Incubation Lab, but still put people in jail for sliding down the sides of Rata Sum. There’s probably a lot of bodies piling up in the lake at the bottom, and I wouldn’t want to be the one to clean them out…

fix this issue please
