Unable to zone into main pick, yet still able to access non-main picks

[Essie777]

Hello there,

Recently after completing Askr's task to receive the Talisman of Thunderous Foyer flagging, I attempted to zone into Bastion of Thunder through the central tower in Plane of Storms only to get caught in the zone pre-loading (it hangs up with the "Entering Torden, Bastion of Thunder" on the screen, and doesn't make it to the loading screen itself) and eventually I'm kicked to the server select.
After returning home, I checked to see that I did indeed receive the achievement, Askr tells me to continue my assistance in the Bastion, and the flagging shows up when I use Guided Meditation with the Seer, and the librarian doesn't have anything for me when I ask him about information/lore, but I'm still unable to zone into the Bastion of Thunder main pick. Perplexingly, if there are picks, in this case it's been Pick 6 on more than one occasion, I'm able to zone in successfully, but if I /pick to the main version, the client hangs up and eventually throws me back out to the server select screen once again. From there I have to return home to get my character unstuck.

After some client-side troubleshooting that didn't resolve the issue, I was directed to post this here by the GM assisting me.

try bypassing your isp by tethering or using a different wifi (of a different isp) if it works its your isp blocking the port for that zone (they are randomly assigned on server startup or reboot to zones and can differ on other servers).

I forgot to mention that I went to an old character on another server and was able to zone into the main pick of the zone just fine, so it's something specific to the character.

does your Logs/dbg.txt give any clues as to what it was/wasn't doing when crash?

If you have another char on the same server, can that one get into the main zone? If no, delete the zone file and do a full repatch. My guess is it has something to do with the char file itself if that doesn't work. Zone files "should" work across every server.
