This quest seems to be unique that I've seen in the fact that there is an Achievement linked with it that depending on your choice you lose out on. Something you won't even be aware of unless you googled it before hand, or thoroughly explored through your achievement tab before doing it. Flawed.

It tells you straight up that if you leave the island without saving everyone, then the people you leave behind will die -- why does it seem likely that you could go back and save them after the fact? How is this flawed and why do you say that someone should have to Google it to figure it out?

So if its bugged and the NPC is just not there at all when you are on Bleakrock pre-evacuation, why should those players get screwed out of an achievement due to game mechanics or technical failures in the beginning of game release. Thats how it is flawed. My personal experience I knew she was there from Beta testing. so come game launch when she was not there, i reload ui, i relog out of the game entirely and she is still not there, i submit a ticket to a GM and a month later still have no assistance on completing it, yes definitely flawed.

That isn't an achievement however, which is nothing to do with consequences in the game world.

seems to be an achievement. the consequence is an effect based off technical issues of NPC not spawning which is known, or player choice weather they want to sit in bleakrock for a month and not progress until it gets fixed, or progress and lose out on this achievement. Not really a choice there have fun killing bandits from lvl 1-VR10. Flawed imo.

Halmera is the only person who does not spawn. She is supposed to spawn outside her house for the quest for find Geilund whom apparently is at a beach with a dog.

This claim that "it tells you if you leave the people die" is BS by know-it-alls. I went back while in the middle of Eastmarch and saved a hunter proving that claim false.

I 100% agree that it is unacceptable for achievements to be permanently missed. Nobody wants to have to read through achievement lists beforehand and memorize them before completing quests in order to mitigate the risk of missing any, especially since we can't undo our choices or revert back to a previous save. I missed one person as well, and I also can't get Halmaera's house to show as completed now, because I left the isle early. I have encountered similar issues elsewhere in the game, too. I will constantly nag ESO tech support to manually revert my progress and potentially cease to subscribe to this game if it's going to be like this... The completionist in me says this is ridiculous and was horribly thought out.

So achivement still bugged ? Also have just "Find Geilund" left and i can swear i searched every pixel on that cursed island for any other quests before start evacuate.
It looks like same bug as with Light of Meridia. When you could not attain 5th light of meridia if you choose wrong people to side with.

For those of us who love our 100%/checklist though, I doubt many will stick around. I've rerolled my main four times, and finally gave in and unsub because the way the game plays out if I don't browse the forums for little tidbits of knowledge leads to me being annoyed more than enjoying. (Yes, I'm ocd but I think you'll find a lot of 100%ers are)

If you wanted a 100% checklist then obviously you want to complete the game 100% right? Then why did you not fully complete the first quest then? If completing everything is so important then i would imagine you would have made sure that all quests are fully completed before moving on (you have to specifically say you want to evacuate early and people will die). Also the quest isn't that bad, it was a nice challenge to run around and find everyone. Only a few npc's actually have a maker showing you where they are which makes sense considering those are the few npc's that the captain even knows of their location. And i don't like the idea of being able to go back and find people again. If you left them behind They're dead! You know how many people would be on here complaining that there are an island full of people that are supposed to be dead! Goes completely against the story, they shouldn't magically be brought back to life because of your decision to kill them! This is one of the few quests where you get repeated warnings about the consequences of ending the quest in the first place! Plus if you look at your achievement list it does tell you how many more people are left to save.

What i would like to see different is maybe the two people you do get quest markers for their location, maybe after you help them they can give you a hint on where the next people are and so on. For the people who are having difficulties finding them.

Really, did someone have to dig up an already necroposted thread that originated back at launch and was revived back in October stating it was resolved?

at least let us go back to bleakrock when we realized we done goofed and let us find the remainders...

I'm glad that this problem is fixed so you can get the achievement but...


Unlike the abandoned folks on Bleakrock Isle, perhaps this thread can finally die.

Other's have already written stuff like this, but I'm just throwing my two cents in.

First off, have you actually done every single quest on Bleakrock? The achievement should be doable even if you evacuate if you just go back and do every quest, as each quest on the island will "automatically" save the people in question.

As a side note, stuff like this often happens when people unintentionally rush through content (this is not directed at you specifically), and don't realise what they miss as they go. This especially tends to happen if you have played through the game many times, and think you know everything about every quest, and just spam "E" in conversations (I have tried this, regretted it and then learned from it) - or miss a quest entirely because I forget to go to a certain corner of the map.

A perfect example is my hubby, who has a tendency to rush, and often ends up asking me what is actually going on, why we need to go a certain place, why I don't like a certain NPC, or why my outcome in a quest was different than his - but hey, it's made me quite an expert in the many storylines throughout ESO
