    Think outside of the box. Teleport to someone in Coldharbor and you can do the army of meridia quest to go to Veteran Zones...

    GUYS I FIXED IT! Keep changing your language and patching and switching it back, and logging in. Eventually it works!

    Confirmed, Changing language - Patching(You don't need to complete the patch just make sure it starts download then switch it back to English) - Logging in - (doesn't work log out and repeat untill it does)

    want to read something fun about the issue?
    For the moment, there are a few things you can try to get this quest working for you again. Logging off and on again, or typing in /reloadui into the chat window may fix your problem.

    nothing new so far. But here comes the line that made my day.
    If these do not work for you, you can progress to the next chapter of the storyline by moving ahead to the next area. I realize this may skip some of the story for you, but it will permit you to continue.

    What a funny statement. Hey you can't move to the next area without this quest? Oh we are sorry about that. But it shouldn't be a problem. Just bypass the problem by moving to the next area... wait what?

    LOL! The support told me to "abandon the quest." Support doesn't actually reads our problems. They got their $100. Now it's crap customer support until non existent support when the game goes free to play.

    Thank you for contacting The Elder Scrolls Online Team.

    I apologize that you are having this issue. You may wish to try abandoning the quest and reaccepting it, as well as logging off and back on.

    If you cannot abandon the quest, it is likely considered a main story quest. We are currently working to fix this issue. In the meantime, you can progress to the next chapter of the storyline by moving ahead to the next area.

    It is our hope that you will be able to return and complete the affected quest shortly. If by chance, abandoning the quest doesn't work, please don't hesitate to contact us again.

    Thank you for your continued interest and support!

    Oh it will end up like greenshade. Wait for 2 or 3 weeks till the main crowd reached the quest status. When people start to bombard the forums about the issue they will implement a workaround instead of a full fix.

    I'm bugged too.. the support only replied with the following generic message.
    Thank you for contacting The Elder Scrolls Online Team.
    This particular quest bug is a known issue, and the team is currently working on a solution. In the meantime, there are a couple of things you may try to resolve this issue:
    Type /reloadui in the command line of the Chat Box
    Try performing a soft reset: log out of the game and launcher completely for at least 15 minutes. This will reset your character's instance information and may cause quest NPCs to work properly.
    Abandon and restart the quest, which also causes quest NPCs and objectives to restart; this generally gets positive results.

    Please Fix I can't advance on main quest!


    EDIT: What a joke, after saying that fix obviously did not work they replied with instructions on how to use wayshrines? REALLY at lvl 48 I may not know what a Wayshrine is?
    Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. We ask that all players be vigilant with the /bug command to quickly report any issues they face in-game so that our team can get to them as quickly as possible. Please bear with us as we look into the issue and we apologize for this inconvenience.
    Remember that you can leave any instance by porting to a wayshrine. It will cost you a small amount of gold (variable depending on your level and how recently you used a wayshrine), but it can help you continue your game when you can't complete the quest objectives. To port to a wayshrine, press [M] to open your map. Click on the magnifying glass in the lower left-hand corner of the map window, and select any region you have already explored. When the map you have selected comes up, left-click on any wayshrine you have already discovered, and then press [E] to confirm.
    If you have any more concerns, issues, or problems please do not hesitate to contact us again.

    Thank you for your continued interest and support!

    I changed the language to French and the guy is there (Wayrest next to the castle) with the arrow on his head.. but I can't talk to him. My game was originally in English and he was exactly in the same position without moving (same with French).

    SUPPORT HELP PLS.

    I guess i'll use the thread as a day count on how long I'm unable to do progress.

    lol no forget that thought. It's not like they would compensate it with free game time. They know that they have time till the 30 day grace period runs out before they need to fix walls like this one
