[Visitor] unable to enter Highvale

I just encountered a [Visitor] player who said the Enter Area button didn't show up for him over Highvale. Unfortunately he wandered off before it could be determined what happened.

After thinking about it for a while, I realized this might be the way that the "one path only" for trial players was handled: by simply not allowing them to enter the starting areas for the other two paths. Can a dev confirm if this is true, then I'll know what to do/say the next time I see it happen.

 

It's a bug. We have a fix ready to go for next patch.

If a trial user can't begin the Path of Courage due to being on another path they enter the post-tutorial version of Highvale automatically.

 

Well, this was from the overworld, so it was always going to be the post-tutorial version. As I understand it, you can only ever go to one pre-tutorial starter area unless you delete your character and re-roll. Even the quest reset won't let you do it.

I was just curious if this was an intentional blocking of the post-tutorial area due to Visitor status.
