Eyes the Path (New Elite Gear Vendor) Missing from North Morrowind Gate

Each faction in Cyrodiil received a new vendor with the 1.3 update. This vendor (which some have referred to as an elite vendor) sells upper level (VR12) versions of the lower level set pieces (such as the Ravager set). AD and DC have their new vendors; but the new vendor for EP (named Walks the Path) is currently bugged and is not visible or interactable in the game. The vendor's name can be seen on the map at the bottom of the list of vendors at the Merchant House at the North Morrowind Gate. A CS rep told me the vendor should be located near the stacks of chopped wood by the entrance near the stable and near the other vendor by the wood (Bothas).

Even though these new vendors are charging 200K+ AP for their pieces instead of the new reduced rate of 33K AP, I would still like to pick up some new pieces and try the new sets they supposedly offer.

@ZOS_BrianWheeler Is there any chance this can be fixed soon given how it puts EP at a minor disadvantage while this vendor is missing?

    There is actually some kind of a weird bug for this NPC.

    I can see it with my main character but not with alts !! No one in my guild could see it... it's like I'm the only one.

    see below.

    That is very interesting, Sotha Sil. I do not have any alts so the problem manifests for me on my main and only character. I'm on the NA server (Thornblade) if that makes any difference.

    I am just glad someone else has encountered this problem as most people in my zone chat do not even know there is supposed to be a new vendor there.

    As you said, not everyone actually KNOWS that this NPC exists so NO ONE KNOWS IT IS BUGGED

    @ZOS_JessicaFolsom please add this to the list of bugs that need to be fixed !
    Is that intentional ?

    well there seems to be an issue with it since I can see it with one of my characters. That may be the reason why they think it's actually working.

    WHEREAS IT IS NOT WORKING !!

    When I first encountered the problem on Monday night, I received an in-game chat message from a GM with questions along with the standard suggestions of reloadui, logging out and repairing the client, none of which worked obviously. It was the GM who told me Walks should be located by the stacks of chopped wood.

    There is also a missing vendor at the Warrior's Tavern at the Southern Morrowind Gate. I have no idea how long that vendor has been missing.

    What does it take to get this problem fixed? Granted, the memory leak/crashing problem needs to be top priority; but it shouldn't take a week (or more actually) or tweak a line of code that turns on a vendor, especially considering how there are two nearly identical vendors already present for the other factions.

    Lol, they didn't bring him back in the latest patch? And customer support two days ago assured me that it will be fixed "in the next patch".
    ... or did they mean content patch? xD

    He's definitely not there. There are also reports that the arrow bug is not only still in effect, but my guildies are claiming they see spells and staff heavy attacks doing it too, now. These developers, man... they're real gems.

    I had the same issue and I contacted customer support multiple times and they said it will be fixed in a future patch. Will login soon so I'll see if he's there or not.

    @ZOS_BrianWheeler When can we expect some sort of resolution to this glaring faction imbalance issue? The presence of this issue is patently unfair to EP players given how they are the only faction affected by this issue.

    Yes. Each faction has a new vendor at one of the gates alongside the other vendors. You can see their names on the maps for the gate where they are located. AD and DC both have accessible vendors. EP does not. These vendors are Elite Gear vendors and they sell pricy, upper level versions of PVP gear. I think they also sell sets the existing vendors do not carry. I haven't confirmed that last point but based on posts in the PTS forum, that seems to be the case.

    Yeah, I'm on EP. I was making a bad joke.

    Y'know what's really funny? One of my guildies actually got an open ticket and return call from ZoS' customer support deriding him; I quote, "Sir, there no VR12 PvP rings in this game. I have no idea what an 'elite vendor' is; you are, unfortunately, mistaken."

    I've about had it. These people are treating their customers like so much trash.

    We're looking into this one and seeing why that NPC is missing. I see it on our internal servers and our mirror servers for Live so this may take some digging into.

    Update: Problem identified and we'll get a fix for this up to the servers as soon as we can! Sorry about not being able to see that Vendor (insert joke about how the NPC's name alludes to vision here).

    Finally. Thanks. Hope it won't take another week to bring that elusive lizard back.

    Thank you for the update, @ZOS_BrianWheeler! I am going to chalk up Eyes-the-Path's absence as being caused by an extensive mission to stock his warehouse to the roof in preparation for the upcoming massive demand for his wares.

    Brian, you're the man. Now get somebody to yell at those customer service reps that were telling customers they were wrong for believing in Eyes-"Bigfoot"-the-Path.

    Edit: Majorly disappointed he's not already back after this maintenance.

    In all fairness to ZOS, the content of this patch was likely locked down yesterday and Brian didn't pursue a fix for this issue until this morning. Unless the fix involved a very simple fiag or field change in a DB, then we weren't going to see the fix today. Now, if the fix is not present after next week's first patch, then we all need to grab our pitchforks.
  • Eve_Knight
    Might check if whatever the bug is, is also the reason we've never been able to see many guild traders (like the ones in The Hollow City), the normal Cyrodiil vendors in the armory disappeared, etc.
