    I had this same issue today. Had both the group and solo missions mentioned. Went back to the npc and said "head into" and got the pop up asking if I wanted to enter or be kicked.

    Was able to reproduce this issue and it is now being tracked internally. Thank you for your report(s)!

    Tempest Temple and Dragonscale Hills have been repopped on all Live servers, which should resolve the issue. We have a ticket to investigate the cause.

    Oddly enough, this is the same bug as these two other bugs:
    https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq...able-to-enter-the-mechamatic-guardian.281009/
    https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq...nt-zone-in-to-caverns-of-endless-song.281105/

    We don't have a fix yet but have a ticket to work on it. For now, you'll need to pick up and place the Guild Teleportation Device as a workaround.

    Edit: I merged the 3 bugs into this thread (Unable to enter the Mechamatic Guardian, Can't zone in to Caverns of Endless Song, Guild hall portal gnome not working)

    can confirm that even after the repop, on The Rathe, You still cannot enter Caverns of Endless Song

    Any chance you're willing to describe the bug? It's a genuine pleasure of mine (and of many, I'm sure) to learn about how things can stop working... and it helps everyone recognize problems in the future.

    Auras detect what players enter (or exit) their radius. When you enter an aura, some auras run a script on your character. This is how the Mechamatic Guardian checks to give you a dialog box, Tempest Temple lets you zone into Caverns of Endless Song, and the guild hall teleporter checks to give you a dialog box to port to the currently set zone.

    Sometimes when a zone starts, it seems like auras that are part of the zone don't get initialized properly, and they are not detecting players who enter the aura until the zone is repopped.

    We had that in the guild hall a couple of days ago. It has nothing to do with the zone itself, so its the aura thingy at the place.

    I removed the teleport pad, deleted it, bought a new one and it was the same problem.
    Then I took the teleport pad to a complete other place, then it worked.

    The spot is somehow related to the ability for porting, not the item itself. And it seems it is not the zone because it happened to other zone points too, including "Guild Banner Port" into Temple of Veeshan.

    So rework as long as the devs have not found the issue: Take it and move it quite a bit away from the usual spot and if it does not work - delete it, buy a new one and place it away from the usual spot.

    To Devs: Could you not implement translocation specialists in the meantime until the issue has been fixed?

    No clue if this is useful info but to me the following just happened:
    Guild Portal wasn't working, so put it in storage and placed it again. Plot window now showed 2 teleportation devices, one selectable one not selectable. Guild portal still wasn't working so I put it to storage again and placed it again. Plot window now showed 3 teleportation devices of which only 1 was selectable. Stored device again, logged to character select and logged back in. Plot window only showed 1 teleportation device and when I placed it in the old spot it worked immediately.

    I was able to zone into Mechamatic Guardian today. Had to switch to full screen mode to get the pop up window to work.

    I just started having the problem today. I purchased the tiny Hammer to go to the RoS Overthere from our Grand Guild Hall. Gave it to the little dude. He said the portal was set. No pop up on two simultaneous accounts.

    I just tried it in the old school guild hall and it worked fine.

    Tried the Grand Guild Hall portal again this morning after it failing throughout yesterday and it's working again.
  17. aiha Saryrn [Bertox]

    Still failing for me at least once per day. I load a new GH instance ~2-3 times per day, and the portal generally fails at least once. Sometimes have to wiggle the portal around a few times to get it working again.

    FWIW it's failed so many times I can say with 100% certainty that it has no correlation with the character select > spawn GH instance > LDoN entrance shennanigans.

    I occasionally log on a character and they end up in a place I camped them a month ago, like Maiden's Eye or Eastern Wastes or something. I recall logging them out there, but for some reason the game occasionally brings up a spot I camped them in weeks ago and not yesterday, for example. I generally /camp desktop to logout, so there shouldn't be issues with saving to the server.

    This bug (fixed by the illustrious Dzarn) was caused by the constructor for an aura not always initializing its radius correctly.

    Might need to give those constructors a pay raise!
