Earth Forge Wayshrine - Bugged or In-existent?

Recently, I have finished the "Will of the Council" quest for the Fighters Guild; completing the quest-line. However, similarly to the Mages Guild quest-line with Eyevea, I expected there to be a Wayshrine with ease of access instead of the mere portal. Soon, I discovered there was a Wayshrine on my compass. However, it remains locked, I can even stand on top of the Wayshrine marker itself and it is still "blacked out"... Is this a bug or is it something that the Developers missed out? Because there is definitely a marker there as seen in the screenshots, and it's definitely not on the map which is strange.

Any help would be appreciated! :)

    There should be a portal now in all fighters guild locations you can use to get there. You may have to hit it once for it to open up. I think Eyevea was this way too but cannot recall.

    I know that, but was is the point of the Wayshrine being there? I feel like it is a feature either bugged or incomplete, because there is evidence (as seen on the compass) that there is supposed to be one present.

    Yeah, Eyevea was the same way.

    It's probably intentonal. The Wayshrine is there so that you can travel away from the Earth Forge, but you have to use a portal to get back there.

    That could be a valid excuse, but the Wayshrine isn't interact-able, at least for me anyway.

    Never had any problem using the Earth Forge wayshrine, as someone said, it is meant to get you away from there, you have to use the portal to go TO the forge.

    Perhaps it's just bugged for me then, because you can see that I am physically right next to it and haven't "discovered" it yet. So I can't use the Wayshrine itself.

    Anyone else encountering it being bugged too? Or does anyone know a kind of workaround for this? If not, I'll send it off as a bug report.

    I used the portal from the Wayrest Fighters Guild and it took me to the starting location in Coldharbour. I was very surprised.

    Earth Forge and Eyevea have the wayshrines, but they were supposed to be one way - just to be used for travel out. Also they serve a purpose as a location where you go when you die and choose a wayshrine. Form the beginning these wayshrines had some strange glitches - sometimes you could see them on the world map even after travelling outside, sometimes you didn't see them on the map at all. In any case, portals are the only intended means acessing these areas after you compleate the guild story arc.

    This is the only thing I can think of to explain it. The wayshrines both at the earth forge and eyevea are unusable but in both areas you can die. I would like to be able to use them but like other areas in the game that have shrines only for revival I believe that's the case. The fact that we can SEE the marker on our compass but can't use it on the other hand...

    The wayshrine works for me for getting out of the area, however unlike normal wayshrines i have to practically ram my forehead into it before it becomes interactable.

    Exactly, why is it on the compass if we can't "discover" it? Yes, we can use it... But there is no point for it being on the compass if we cannot actually "discover" it, which is why I suspect a bug. As even the Eyevea Wayshrine can be "discovered".

    Which makes these areas more of an inconvenience to get to than they should.

    I thought that way shrine was supposed to take you to the pressure room III to make a set of armor, but I cannot access it either
