4.4.5 bug

For the last few days I've been fully exploring act4 and today I noticed a bug on 4.4.5 quest. To the left side of the map, there's a champ that I can't get to. The map goes to a place where you should be able to select wich side you want to continue to but it is assuming automatically the left side, what makes me unable to 100% explore the quest. I've already tried 3 times and I don't want to continue spending energy on what I can only assume is a bug.

Is it possible to fix this so I can end exploring act 4??

From pic by similar post by @Omg_KROSS ...
Appears that the map is just not entirely symmetrical.
On left side, have to start out more from middle (like past the Rhino node) in order to go left and get that Deadpool (if that is the one you’re talking about).

Oh ok ahaha
Yeah, it was to get to the Deadpool. Really thought it could have been a bug or something lol
Thanks for the help!!

I cant get to this deadpool. Do you have to go through middle section?

The Left vs Right sides of Act 4.4.5 are NOT symmetrical. See...

Can someone please look at this again? I know at least one thread has been closed about this, but this caught me out on a new account. I had a look at Vamp Gaming's vid from a couple of years ago and at 0:14 you can clearly see the travel lines moving towards War Machine from the left path and not the middle.

Or if that's not clear enough watch Seatin's Free to Play Adventured 2019 Day 4 at 29:40. He hovers around in there for at least five seconds and the left path moves from Sun Spidey through War Machine and on up to Storm.

That's what I hypothesized as well in another thread. That it must have been an apparent recent change of direction in that one little segment, as there had been no such mention about any path direction issues in 4.4.5 here for all those years. And then all of a sudden there started to be MANY such threads all popping up, starting around the same monthly update (a few months ago, but forget exactly which month it was).

From a programming point of view, it could very well be something that was inadvertently done, while a programmer looking at the map in code, and accidentally changes a directional setting for that segment.

At least, it is still able to be explored, but I think others are right when they say it takes 1 extra run thru now in order to do that map 100%, and Kabam should look at it.

Doesn't take an extra run if you have just started this quest now ... the quest still has 8 paths

if you have already explored a part of it and then the direction changed, then it can add another path.

Oh, yep, doesn’t actually add an additional run. 6 paths 1st section expands to 8 paths 2nd section. So 1st section has 2 extra runs anyways.
Just a matter of not committing yourself into certain combinations of paths with your first several runs, that could indeed force you into a 9th time.

But visually, you can see the problem. Most (if not all ?) paths in game have you moving in a FORWARD direction from Start to End.
And this little segment now actually has you moving at an ANGLED-BACKWARD direction in the 1 step just past (to Left of) War Machine in my earlier pic.
That 45 degree backward movement (from right to left there) is what makes it wrong.

It definitely added an extra path for my alt, as I had completed Act 4 last year but am only now going for 100%.

Okay finally did it.... but so counter-intuitive!!!- Not a bug ___ just bad design

So in theory, the upcoming REFRESH of ACTs 1-4 (live Nov 4th, 2021 after maintenance) will have this awkward/backwards segment in 4.4.5 addressed. (hopefully)
