Tracing Shadows (and many other quests in Telvanni Penesula)

The Tracing Shadows quest is totally bugged if you do it in a group. You get to the Kagouti nests, find the objects and tralk to Naryu but the quest goes to goodbye instead of more info. Breaking group does not fix this, logging out and back in also doesn't fix it. Does anyone do any testing of content in groups or do devs only run solo? This is a problem common to a majority of the quests in the Necrom expansion (and is cropping up in lots of other places, too.) In an MMO, this doesn't seem like acceptable quality control.

running solo i had no problem with the quest, but there are other instances where the group sharing of quest objectives are broken

last week i did one of the deadlands WB dailies with one other person and my quest objectives were messed up for picking up some objects on the ground, and that is an almost 2 year old dlc now

We have just encountered the same when in a group. After searching the kagouti nests & speaking to Naryu, the quest does not progress.

We have dropped from the group & relogged, but it's still broken.

I'm in that quest solo and Naryu is bugged. I've searched the dres camp and retreived the info, but when I meet her outside the camp its the dialogue from the beginning of the that section of the quest

I have the same issue, also solo. I've just been doing other zones for now until a patch drops.

There are all sorts of quests in teh new zone that can';t be progressed in a gorup. You have to break group, lo0g out and back in to maybe get to progress the quest. ZOS needs to take their QC people and have them all run the zone in groups of two and fix each and every screwed up quest.

Yea, these bugs have been a buzzkill for years now and are really hampering my enjoyment of playing with friends. Even when we don't get the bug, I feel tense and stressed every time I have to touch a quest item when in a group, afraid it will happen and we'll lose progress and have to start all over. Even strategizing picking up items to try to prevent it from happening.

It was never a problem that I noticed prior to Deadlands, but now it feels like a constant issue. I really expect better of an MMO in regards to group content related bugs specifically.

I ran into the same issue at the kagouti camp on this mission today, playing with a friend. There were two notes to find at the camp. I read one, and she read the other. Naryu's dialog acts as if we still have more to find. Neither of us can read the other letter, because it disappeared for both of us once one of us read it.

We had the same issue with the Vvardenfell quest where you have to retrieve stones from ruins all over the zone. When one person touches the stone, it disappears for both of us and appears in both of our quest items, but it only advances the quest for the person who interacted with it. Since we each grabbed different ones depending on who reached it first, neither of us was able to complete the quest. Had to drop it and run it solo.

For an MMO, it's sad how many quests -- including the newest ones -- break if you actually try to play them with other people.
