Please get this fixed but in the mean time offer those of us stuck here the ability to move on by having GM's advance our quest status to the next step. It's the only reasonable thing to do for a problem blocking content like this.

Same here. Fix it

ulic3190b16_ESO

THIS IS STILL NOT FIXED!
Guys this is blocking the progress of hundreds of players if you want your subscriptions to remain uncancelled you need to fix this.

So many bugs in coldharbour but this one is actually completely halting the game progression.

You cant even finish the main questline if you grind your way to V1

I am so frustrated and annoyed right now, I love this game but this is ridiculous!!

CrispZ

fix please

FIX THIS ***

I enjoyed the game, but this is unacceptable. The responses I've gotten from submitting support requests for this issue ignored the substance of my request and seemed to be auto generated based on keywords. As a consumer and a fan, I'm forced to cancel my subscription.

Lets not all jump off the boat just yet. Its a little leaky and it smells funny right now, but ESO is a fine vessel and I plan to be sailing on her for a long time. That being said...Zenimax is not doing itself any favors with its CS performance right now.

homeless36b16_ESO

I would rather jump off the boat, having sailed on many and knowing all too well where this one is going.

Bunk

Any chance this is going to be fixed sometime this year?

QFT is an understatement. Sub cancelled, even if this is fixed right now I wouldn't reup. Wildstar Beta almost all the way up until it's prerelease.

STILL NOT FIXED AND THEY CLOSED THE MAIN THREAT LOL

A fine vessel with a very anxious crew and a captain who locked himself in his quarters the past week without any word aside from a few sticky notes slipped under the door saying, "hang on a minute" while the vessel sails straight towards an ice berg.

Have no fear, plenty of islands to the left and right, shrouded in fog, but they look and sound pretty fun from what we can tell, probably better to jump off and start swimming towards them instead of being caught with egg on your face when the boat crashes.

Wait.. .I've got something better.... being caught with scurvy on your something when the boat crashes?

If you cancelled, bye! No one will miss you.

drizzintahl

past two weeks in 5 seconds?

Bluntski

Also, there is a sticky. Stop posting this garbage.

drizzintahl

Someone says the groundskeeper quest worked fine for them and they level past you.

I remember saying this in SWTOR. Then it went f2p.

Absolutely disgusting. I guess some people just have no standards.

Bluntski

You should cancel too!

what a great idea!

Bluntski

But make sure after you cancel you take a screenshot of the notification then come here and cry on the forums. It's just not complete without it.

Also make sure to bad mouth the company and call the devs and CS department the worst you have ever dealt with as well.

Technically customer support should know if a customer quits due to lack of support (hence the topic name 'customer support') nothing useful comes from "If you cancelled, bye! No one will miss you." Not only is it unhelpful, but you are not everyone, so you really don't know if anyone will miss them do you?

Lets stay productive if we can. There were some healthy german forums and nonZOS forums where people were trying to find work-arounds. My favorite attempt was everyone huddling together and mounting, trying to 'push' or otherwise break the grounds keeper further, forcing something to happen.

Nothing like seeing 50+ adventurers being shock-waved away on horseback far enough to be wholly pushed over the edge of the Chapel.

The cynical veteran MMO player in me is starting to think that this situation is left unresolved on purpose to gate progression. Few guildies have done it and they say the VR content is a mess with buggy quests and completely out of whack monster tuning and it's possible they don't want more people there in order to have more time to fix things.

Other companies, like Blizzard, have done this thing before. In early WoW, some porgression encounters were made unkillable by design to give them more time to developed the content.

This is simply unacceptable. I had early access to beat the many competitive gamers out there and to reach veteran rank but with all the server maintenance could barely get to level 30 during that time. Then they reimburse our time which was great but now this? I tried hard to reach veteran rank so that I could explore the veteran content before the thousands of other players get there but all of that was for nothing now because the longer this quest isn't fixed there will be even more veteran ranked players on the map.

I too have canceled my subscription due to this. I am being professional here and really don't care about the fanboys who say "no one will miss you" if enough of us stand up then maybe they could expedite the fix.

There were a lot of temp fixes to this that others mentioned in the main thread before it got closed. Such as giving us access to the veteran content without having to do the main story quest, we could then come back to the quest when it is fixed.

I think this is good start to a fix. It's better than "we are working on it".

This makes a lot more sense then them not being able to find a fix. If they really can't find a fix then it's a wonder we could progress past level 1.

In a lot of threads around here, a lot of people are crying out for people to just give us an update. If this were the case, it'd lessen the angst. But we're left with nothing. 6 days is a long time to fall behind while others experience the higher content. (Even if it is buggy, a lot of people either can't access it, or can't even log in at all, thus the "Falling behind" feeling is gripping a LOT of players)

Thanks for this perspective though, it'd be real nice to hear anything officially.

Hestia

This is absolutely VILE. A quest that is broken which BLOCKS OUR PROGRESS from EXPERIENCING END GAME CONTENT?

Hundreds and thousands of players are sitting here blocked by this bug eager to experience your end-game content. This should be fixed ASAP. Quite ridiculous to hear from your support ticket staff that there is "NO ETA".

I really love this game... and have never been this excited about a MMO in a really long time.. but a bug like this? Come on!

drizzintahl

Also this is fitting

Hexi

The sad thing is, that I really, really love this game but this is a PR nightmare. Bugs are one thing, those you can deal with. Like for example, 3 of my Vampire abilities don't do what they're supposed to, which completely gimps my character but that's ok, I can deal with that. Showstoppers however, bugs that prevent players from playing the game, are not acceptable and having such bugs, like the one early on with the Bhelar or whatever in the first Pact zone, is what makes people not only leave, but tell everyone not to bother either.

I'm not going to ragequit or anything, as this is the MMO I've been waiting for for so long, but others will, and people that leave due to reasons like this *never* return. There are no 2nd chances in the MMO industry, these games take too much time and effort to play and people will not waste their time on a game twice.
