"Deepening Shadows" in Clockwork City Main Quest bugged?
matterandstuff
✭✭✭✭
I seem to be experiencing a questline-breaking bug in Clockwork City and I was wondering a) if anyone else is experiencing it, and b) if anyone has any ideas for getting past it.
When I complete the steam valves puzzle in the Ventral Terminus "Deepening Shadows", it tells me "Take the Charged Animo Core" - but I can't pick up the animo core, there's no option. I can see it, the quest pointer is there, but the actual option to pick it up is not. I jumped around lots the first time and it would once in a while flash for a fraction of a second, but not long enough to hit it, and not in any reliable place. I reloaded UI, reloaded the game, and finally re-did the entire damned quest to that point, and there's still no option. The inability to pick up this damned core breaks the entire Clockwork City main quest unless there's some kind of workaround.
One of my guildies did mention that they'd managed to get through it earlier in the week, so I'm starting to wonder if the update might've broken something?

✭✭✭I haven't tried this quest, but from what you're saying it sounds like something that happened to me on PTS that I think has to do with the new Interaction Priority tech.

I was doing the "Harvest Heart" quest in the Coldharbour zone line, and at the part where you have to interact with the totems to destroy them, I was not able to target them. I pretty well had to walk around them and point everywhere to try to see the activator, but it felt like something was blocking it somehow. I know the first one I had to get from the back while I was so close I was basically inside it. I also saw something called 'GlowFX' pop up too which did nothing, so I wonder if the special effects covering the activator are now making it difficult to interact with it.1 -
matterandstuff✭✭✭✭Thanks! I hadn't heard of that but it sounds likely (and nice to know I'm probably not just somehow mad).1

I needed the extra skill points from the questline for my main ... and I've hit the exact same bug. No matter what I do, I cannot interact with the Animo Core during the Deepening Shadows quest. Brutal.1

liam_98Soul ShrivenI have this problem as well. The entire Clockwork City storyline is broken by this one bug.1

Hope they fix it, i cant believe a whole zone main quest line is ruined because of this 1 bugged quest.

✭I have also hit this same bug. Cannot interact with the Charged Animo Core, even though there is a quest arrow hovering over it, there is no option to hit a key to interact with it.0 -
Vedova✭✭Im working through this quest and now i too am stuck here , unable to interact with the charged canister. Now as its a main story quest it has halted my progress through the quest and also stopped me now getting the precursor which i was also working on. Require last part and its locked behind broken quest line
ZOS please fix asap0 -
GenjiraX✭✭✭✭✭Hopefully they’ll put the interaction priorities back to how they were before U31 in next week’s patch maintenance and we can all go back to whingeing, whining and moaning about bears and crafting tables.0
