New Quest automatically becoming your active quest

Lysette

It's especially annoying when getting your crafting writs from the board - instead to just press E 7 times to get all 3 writs from a board, it is now sometimes not registering an E because it is still marking each and every of such writs as the active one. It is just not helpful to do it like that - and why the heck did ZOS do that, it was nothing what we requested or which was broken.

QoL changes are always appreciated. I’d appreciate if even more though if they implemented QoL changes players were actually asking for repeatedly.

- Saving presets of Champion Point allocations
- Toggle for the shield animation when blocking
- Hiding shoulders and Tabards
- Remorphing specific skills instead of every skill

There have been many more, but the above would be an excellent start.

That last one is supposedly in the pipeline.

Would be too good to be true!

How about not showing any arrows at all except the quest you're currently on? Still waiting on that to happen. I'm always getting turned around by 10 arrows pointing in every direction at once.

Not for me, the other arrows help me complete other quests in the area, so this quite useful for me. Saves time! But I'm in favour of the toggle to switch off/on this feature.

Don’t like this change as well and was wondering, why there’s no option in settings.

This has been immensely frustrating especially as it seems to reset without me noticing if travel anywhere and so go haring off after white arrow but is wrong bloody quest.

I pick up quests as I travel and do NOT like this new feature. Please at leadt toggle it.

I would like the option to be able to Focus on a quest I'm doing that always stays on top regardless of what new quests I pick up. Or I just ignore all other quests and just do the chain I'm currently on.

I love it but a toggle would obviously be better.

Zactly, even though I know the white one is the arrow pointing me in the correct direction, I just picked up my 6 daily crafting writs to do, and its so confusing and stupid having 6 arrows clogging up the compass. Because ZoS barely acknowledge or listen to players I doubt anything will get done

Slurg

Me: riding through the countryside, on an important white arrow mission!
NPC: (makes helpless sounds)
Me: what can Slurg do to help?
NPC: (gives new white quest arrow)
Me: ????Where was I going again???? Squirrel!!!

Not only do I not like this, be fine to have option to turn off, but bigger issue is that your quest will often just randomly swap when you use a shrine to port somewhere.

I'll have X quest selected, say, psijiic gather staff parts, get the parts, go to port back to Artaeum and suddenly, "kill players in cyro" is my primary. Don't even know how or why this weird bug happens.

Luciferazazell

This is so stupid it just breaks immersion having to go into your journal to reactivate a quest your in the middle just becuase you picked up a quest. Who thought this was a good idea ? John over at IT who played the game once and suggested it to the devs lol come on guys

Instead of fixing the damm voice chat disconnect when your in a group and youve traveled or how sometimes your in a group but theres no group chat option you have to write it in a "Says" chat. No they thought this was what we needed lol

Gythral

Best part about it, they added a new feature few want, but still did not fix the bug where it changes to the first in the quest list at a loading screen

But this is ZOS all over, never fix bugs just add EGO trip features

AefionBloodclaw

Anyone know if its possible to make a mod that fixes this stupid, generally depised and unwanted feature? That'd be right, players fixing what Bethesda/Zenimax can't do themselves lol

Iman_Oldie

Another player who hates quests changing to the one you acquire along the way.
I want to complete the one I'm on and follow the story not chop and change every time I meet someone handing out quests.
It's confusing and encouraging me to not talk to anyone along the way.

I do too. The quests i have are partially done story quests and chain quests. So when i pick up a daily which i will do right away, it brings it to the front which is what i want.

Edit: They should allow you to track multiple quests at the same time on the main screen. Like 3 or 5 at a time and then you just click the quest on the screen to expand of collapse it. I hate the one quest at a time thing. Its really annoying.

You can with Ravalox's Quest Tracker

idk

Same. So maybe Zos did listen since not all of us are complaining.

iirc you are on PC. Use Lazy Writ Crafter. Not only does it make picking up writs easier it makes doing them fast and smooth.

I don't like it. I like that I can pick up other quests when I find them, but that doesn't mean I want to immediately interrupt the current quest to go on the new one. I want to continue on the quest I'm already on.

AefionBloodclaw

So, typically they've still done nothing about this problem, and now its causing even more issues. Instead of just making the quest you pick up your active quest, when you go through a wayshrine it changes the active quest back to some other random quest in your quest log?

Only second to 2h weapons counting as 2 set pieces... love it...hated when you watshrined and your quest changed...

Why do you hate the 2h weapon playstyle so much that you think this? Dual wield is still OP, go play with that, but dont deny the 2h playstyle others actually want to be viable.

Its happening on almost every New Life quest that I do, and it's ticking me off.

Gythral

How about@
never track a dumb PvP quest unless you are ACTUAL in the zone completing it
and the rest of the tme
leave my quests alone



oops this is ZOS-
if it's broke, ignore it,
if it aint broke 'How the hell do we break it!'

Draxys

I’m doing quests for the first time in a while in summerset, and every time I zone in or out the active quest gets reset to a specific one. It was a pvp quest before I dropped it to make more room for others. I’m not a fan of most of these quests, so I tend to rush through them and not keep track of the quest name, so I’m always confused about which one I’m doing,

@ZOS_GinaBruno this should really be looked at, after years of annoyance

Trivial. People would complain if inverse happened.

More details?

I don't mind the quest becoming active so much as I run dailies while waiting for the group finder. What gets to me is as soon as I port somewhere the current quest changes to something else in my quest list and I have to go back into my list to set the current again. I don't recall this happening until recently. Essentially whatever quest was my current quest use to stay there no matter how many times I would teleport.

This has recently started happening to me quite regularly too. Extremely annoying bug.
