[BUG] Main Quest - The Weight of Three Crowns (Different from Usual Bug)

Letareus

There is currently a different sort of bug for the main story quest "The Weight of Three Crowns" other than the usual "alliance leaders do not spawn" people usually have. This is not exactly progression blocking, but it it does ruin the experience considerably by eliminating a lot of dialogue, backstory and information. It used to be working fine:

Currently, the NPC's Lady Laurent, Telenger, and Captain Alphaury do not spawn (neither do any of the other NPC's in the guild camps out front). There are waypoints to their locations but they are not there. Vanus talks to them but they do not talk back (since they are not there). These are a pretty significant part of the experience of the quest with a lot of dialogue. Also, people may waste time looking for these non-existent NPC's.

This used to be working fine because I did this quest 2 months ago on another character and all these NPC's were present and functioning properly.

Yes. Same here

I'm having the same except now Vanus won't move because there is no one to speak to. In my foolishness I thought leaving the zone and coming back could make the NPCs spawn (since relogging didn't work) and now I can't even get back to the zone -_-

Same problem here, Lady Laurent, Telenger, and Captain Alphaury weren't there and Vanus was talking to thin air.

I'm having the same issue. Vanus won't say anything to me other than "let's listen to the alliance leaders," if I click on him, but he never leaves the portal. I was able to leave and return to the zone multiple times, but nothing changes. I've re-logged repeatedly. I performed /camp as suggested by customer support, waited hours before returning, and still nothing.

The character I'm having this issue with is V1, and has finished everything else in the starting area. The person I normally play with is attempting the quest now, so anyone that manages to finish this, let me know what the heck else I can try.

Update: My partner in crime just attempted this quest also, and the exact same bug happened to him. He clicked on Vanus even though the quest didn't say to (it points to the center of the island and says listen to the leaders), but he only said the line from my previous post. He wandered around the island, tried to talk to everyone that had that option...nothing. He's attempted to re-log once already, so now the wait begins. Maybe one day Vanus won't stare at the portal. Yea.

I came across the missing NPCs weeks ago. As usual, no useful reply to my ticket but luckily the main players were there do the quest didn't stall.

Seems this quest was one of ZOS usual "what this patch broke" casualties, what worked before doesn't after.

Update: After having to clear my quest log for the 3rd time this week, and re-log again, this worked. Thankfully they were only quests for PVP, so it isn't like I have to run around looking for more quest givers again. First Stomping Sinmur, now this one.
