[BUG] Minimap not redrawing when loading into Ziost

I'd like to report a minimap bug that got introduced when Ziost was added with GU 3.2.

 

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go with a character to any position from where you can go to Ziost. e.g. onto a guild flagship that is positioned over Ziost.
  2. Exit the area and load into Ziost.
  3. Once the loading screen is over, do not move your character but take notice of the minimap.
  4. Now move your character a little bit and look how your minimap appears now.

 

Screenshots:

I was exiting my Republic guild flagship and returning to Ziost. Once I was loaded into Ziost, the minimap still showed the Republic guild flagship: http://i.imgur.com/3LH50Hi.jpg

As soon as I moved my character, the minimap got redrawn and showed up correctly: http://i.imgur.com/iJRhL1g.jpg

 

Bug report:

When loading into Ziost, the minimap is not redrawn; instead it displays the area you were previously in. The text above the map (with the current area name) is correct but the minimap display is bugged. Only once the character moves will the minimap be redrawn and then shows up correctly.

This only happens when loading into Ziost, not into any other area. Therefore, this must be a bug with Ziost specifically. and may not be a general UI bug.

 

Severity:

I asked two other players about this bug and they were both able to reproduce it. Therefore, this is not isolated to my computer but is affecting every player.

This is a minor bug, on the scale of other minimap bugs that have not been fixed for nearly 2 years now, therefore I suppose it will never get fixed. However, since this only happens on Ziost, my hope is that the designers just clicked a wrong checkbox and this is not a bug that has to be fixed by the systems engineers, which means it could be an easy fix.

 

Also reported with an in-game ticket.
