Well, I wanted to bust out the new Quests before the Land Out of Time dropped and ended up being unable to complete Desperate Times. Normally I wouldn't post about a glitch especially since there have been a few related to this quest, but I couldn't find anything like this on this sub or google.

ATM I'm in the Empyrean Citadel part of the Needle section of the quest (where you go through agility shortcuts). Normally there isn't a door blocking this path, but apparently there is one for me. I've read/watched through a few different guides and can't find anything regarding this door. Clicking/examining the door doesn't change my character's running path or show any messages. I've also gone and checked the Citadel outside of the instance and there isn't a door.

Things I have tried:

  • Entering and exiting the instance by talking to Kerapac
  • Listening through all of Sliske's dialogue
  • Investigating a bunch of storage crates
  • Open/Examining the door

Other info:

  • I have completed Missing, Presumed Death
  • I very recently completed Dishonour among Thieves
  • I didn't start this section of the quest until after the most recent system update

Please let me know if there's anything really obvious that I'm missing here. As far as I'm aware there should be no door blocking my way.

Definitely should not be a door there. Are you using the NXT client or java? We've got someone investigating this right now, but I thought I'd ask.

Obviously please submit an ingame bug report as it gives us a bit more data which we can use to track down the issue.

Could you DM me your username please, and a QA team member will further look into it.

I'm 99.9% sure that I'm using the NXT Client. I also made a report the moment I saw the door because I knew something was up lol.

Investigating now, it appears something odd has happened with an engine update. The good news is that if you load it in java, you should be able to just walk through the doors that should not be there. Hopefully we'll have an NXT fix soon, but that should at least let you complete the quest.
