My Watchstone just disappeared after the latest patch or whatever just a little while ago

This is stupid GGG, please what were your game designers thinking when they came up with this !!!!!!

So like everyone else, I have a Watchstone missing. However, I found it sort of.
As I understand it, watchtowers vanish when an area is under influence, I guess because I have to find that slayer.

Firstly, I ran the t1 pier. It behaved like a t1 pier monster level 68 etc. However, I got the taunting from Baran, even though the entire sector was upgraded. I assumed I would need to get a t4 pier, like the old shaped maps, to progress. Even more strangely I got a t5 villa map drop from my t1 pier map. So my t1 map has a monster level of 68 but is behaving like a t4 map for map drops ?.

So I am like, great I can fix this. I get to fight barren, and sure enough, the watchtower IN the map shows an orange stone on it. But here's the kicker. It's still not on my atlas ... AND... When interacting with the watchtower itself, it just takes me to my atlas.

So, the area is permanently upgraded, to the next tier of maps. I can get to the watchtower, but can't interact with it(just send me to atlas with no Watchtower showing at my map, even though I am staring at the tower). My area is NO longer under influence, and I STILL can't unsocket my Watchstone from the tower(because I can't see it on the map or interact with it directly). As mentioned if I even GO to the tower itself, I cant socket or unsocket anything, just takes me to atlas...

Either this is a serious bug, or your game designer has lost the plot !!!!

Please fix this. I love Path of Exile, but this is now bordering on unplayable......


UPDATE. Ok, this is a bug. I closed my client down, reload. and went back to the instance. Now i can get the watchstone and tower is on the atlas. So if the above happens to you, restart POE client. Hopefully GGG will fix this asap
