Getting slightly irritated by a certain type of quest Bug. Namely, quests with a placeholder.
Experienced it numerous times when doing these quests that some random player not doing the quest (not of any fault of their own) kills the quest placeholder, resulting in me being unable to complete the quest.
The only viable option then is to log out and in again. What a bother! Even if it works...which sometimes does not!
Okay...muttering without providing a solution is pointless.
1) do away with placeholder quests...maybe not an option.
2) instance these quests....my preferred option.
3) If placeholder NPC is killed by someone not having the quest...all those with the quest are automatically updated. The quest is deemed to be completed.
Okay..this is my two-cents rant.
the game is mostly playable
Have fun.

✭✭✭✭✭I don’t understand. What quest givers are killable? Names? Zones? Please elaborate.#FiteForYourRite Bosmer = Stealth

nafensoriel✭✭✭✭✭I'm going to assume here so correct me if this is a different issue...
Quest mobs in ESO are often phased and not unique. They are often on a short respawn timer.
If someone has killed the mob you simply have to wait for the respawn. This is pretty standard for MMOs.3 -

✭✭You talking about bosses in quests that other players can kill before you get there? They tend to have better re-spawn times than most other bosses in the game but nothing to make them worth farming.
If someone else is there killing the boss, it does not automatically mean they don't have the quest, regardless of their level everyone has had to wait at some point or another for an NPC to respawn.
Provided you get at least one hit in on the boss before its killed you get credit for completing the quest objective, if you didn't fight the NPC I see no reason for you to get an auto completion, wait like everyone else has to.
Logging in and out won't do much, quite a lot of the quest bosses are high traffic areas with a lot of player doing the quest, your better off waiting till it re-spawns otherwise someone else will have killed it and you will wait longer.
As for making them instanced, I have know plenty of newer players that have struggled with quest bosses and find themselves waiting for someone else to come along to help them kill it.
Even seen a guy in zone chat asking for a tank to group with him for a Delve once.
