Bloodthorn Assassin Quest

Spawn rate for the crates is ridiculously low. Huge bottleneck.

Wasted about 20 minutes so far waiting.

    I tried off and on for about 3 hours tonight with no success. Lots of people on the boats, unable to do this quest at all.

    Yea its broken again, respawn timers are messed up, will try again tomorrow.
  • WelkinDust
    I've been logging off and on for about 20-30 minutes now trying to find a shard where it isn't bugged. Still can't find one. Looks like this really needs to be fixed ASAP -- it's a main story quest isn't it?

    Just leave and wait until less people are there, then open 3-4 of the boxes and you are finished pretty easy.

    I don't know if it was just luck but I tried logging off and on next to the quest marker/broken create and it didnt fix it but when I logged out standing on the broken create when I logged in it would always respawn the create I logged out on

    I found this in the Beta too, though logging off let me find one or two crates

    The issue isn't so much spawning. I think the problem starts with heavy load occurring on the quest area. Yesterday morning the crates were spawning fast, every 5 seconds or so. But once it's bugged, it is pretty much done, until a server restart.

    What I'd like to know is when they intent to do something about this. I paid for five day early access not five days extra beta testing

    Just leave it for now and come back later in the evening or right after a server restart.

    Which ship and room is it on? I can't get the crates either, but I'm not even sure which room to go into.

    The circle on the map shows where they're supposed to be. I've managed to get one, but they don't seem to regenerate very quickly, so I keep missing them

    Look for crates that are either described as 'suspicious cargo' or are destroyed (flattened) - those are the crates. Under some conditions, those crates do not respawn after they get destroyed, which leads to everyone running around frantically.

    Relogging (maybe more than once) typically solves this (obviously it's easiest to relog when you're next to a crate).

    I' ve periodically wandered back to the area, but I've never seen a single assassin. Apparently, and fortunately, the next towns are doable without finishing this.

    The other one I'm stuck on with a similar bug is the Fighter's Guild main quest. I am supposed to help Aelif defeat daedra that similarly fail to spawn.
    Hircine loves me, this I know,
    Your intestines told me so.

    When we did Beta, toons were telling us that it's BETA, don't worry about the broken quests. They will be fixed when it goes live. Well, I was stuck on broken quests with four toons during beta.
    Three guys I played with (friends from other MMO's) refused to buy the pre-order because of the broken quests. Now, I fear that they may not buy the game at all if they find that the quests are STILL broken.

    Tried it again this morning, creates still not spawning. Guess the randoms in town won't buy me a beer any time soon.

    Tried it off and on for 5 hours last night, logging in and out multiple times (Well over a hundred) with no luck. This was broken in Beta and I was assured by all the fanboys that it was fixed. I expressed that I was worried that full server load would still be buggy. I really hate being right. Please fix this.

    Since I play with friends and they will not be playing this if the quests are broken, I feel that I may have wasted my money here. I am due to play tomorrow, with the 3-day early access.
    I tried to tell the game designers that this game was not really ready for prime time and with broken quests, this game will have a hard time holding onto players after the initial month's play that you get with game purchase.

    I was on earlier this morning and could only see a handful of players running around, but still no crates spawned.

    I'm finding more broken quests now, then I did in beta. I have had 3 quests that worked perfect before that are completely broken now. I know that I'm starting to feel that I may have wasted my money. I will keep trying them, but if they are not fixed shortly I highly that I will continue to pay for it each month. I think I would have to go back to either playing Skyrim and wait till they come out with the next single player game, before I purchase anymore from them.

    Really, we must be thousands that complained about this, reported the bug and mentioned this in the survey.

    I be presuming they fixed most of these, but forgot us Daggerfall pirates in Glenumbra.

    Wolves in the Fold, which seems to use a similar mechanic, is having the same issues as Bloodthorn Assassins. I think the spawns dried up.

    Nope... Still broken.
