Wild Forest Access

Not sure this is a full out bug but the behavior is unexpected. Neera marked the "Wild Forest" location on my map and although I have not passed through the city gates yet, it was immediately available to travel to via area transition. Then when leaving the Wild Forest area all the areas outside Athkatla also became available to travel to.

Expected Behavior: Areas outside the city of Athkatla are greyed out and unavailable to travel to until you have passed through the city gates area.

    I just did this to test another bug. I could not travel to the Wild Forest till I had gone through the City Gates zone to exit from Athkatla.

    Can anyone else confirm this is an issue? I'm not seeing it.

    It does appear I slightly misspoke. It do not happen immediately. I traveled to the Temple District (where I was going in the first place) then when I went to leave the temple district it was available. I just retested it and the same issue happened again. This time I did notice it was greyed out when leaving the Neera Encounter area but then when I went the the temple district and turned right around the forest became accessible again without going to the city gates. Then I decided to test it in other areas, went to the government district after Neera's area and ended up in a random encounter. After dispatching the attackers and I went to leave the encounter area the Wild Forest was still greyed out. Then when I reached the Government District I turn around immediately and again when I left that district the Wild Forest became available to travel to. So it seems the encounter areas between the districts do not open it up but leaving any of the districts (or at least the Temple and Government Districts) does. I will continue testing.

    EDIT: Comfirmed with all seven major Athkatla Areas (Temple, Government, Promenade, Bridge, Docks, Slums, and Graveyard)
