Coldharbour Quest "Crossing the Chasm" BUGGED !

figielek161718

Dear Zenimax

Right now I am in Coldharbour and I'm glad that you repaired the quest with groundskeeper, but was that only to stop few minutes later at bugged portals? Why didn't you repaired this one aswell during the break? Seriously, you could leave bugs from other lands for a while and focus at this because this is the main storyline and we are blocked right now. Players at veteran level are blocked here and we cannot finnish the story and go to lands of other alliances. There is a lot of players waiting there and belive me, level of our irritation is already at "veteran level"... We want to play, not keep waiting.

Thank you for your attention.

Onineko

I am one of this veterans waiting for being able to finnish my story :P I know I could go farm dungeons or stick to Cyrodiil, but actually that brings me no fun and the think I want to do is continue questing and exploring lands.
Please fix it asap.

I have the same issue. There are bugs in other quests but to be honest I really am not bothered by them. However this one is preventing progress into the veteran content. I have logged issues at every step and contacted support and not received much response.

Some people are starting to talk about quitting the game as this is a game stopping bug that has been outstanding for several days now.

Please Fix ASAP

I am one of those ppl

I am also having problems, It's especially annoying because it blocks progress into veteran content, which is mindblowing that is hasn't been fixed yet. I am severely disappointed in how you guys have been handling major bugs so far.

What evidence do you have to support that this is 100% bugged?

This could be working as intended to slow thousands of people flooding the same area at once upon completion, so they use it as a regulating tool to trickle people through.

Why is it people feel the need to automatically complete a quest the second they get to the location required and if they cant instantly progress, they claim its bugged?

Until their is an official confirmation from ZOS saying they are aware of the issue, then we can assume it is working as intended.

Nah bro, we have been waiting for days. Nothing about this is intended. Every other quest marker in the game is therew when you want it. Some people are sitting here for hours for this and nothing. Its a major bug and the only one they should be focusing on right now.

It sounds like there is a work-around that will get people through this quest. It involves having everybody stand on the bridge in between the two portals, and to keep the portal rooms empty for 5min so they reset.

Currently however, there is a single AFK person by the name of "Haciru" who is most likely running a 'Sheath/Unsheath" macro to avoid being flagged as AFK in one of the rooms, simply preventing the progress of anybody who wants to do this work-around method.

Im guessing it's a macro because he's been doing this for hours and at regular intervals without doing anything else. Hopefully some sort of GM can simply look at him for 2min and boot him offline so we can all progress to veteran content.

I am in that instance and I can agree with what he is doing.

Im curious why you think its the only bug they should be working on? Seriously I bet at least 90% of the game population hasnt even made it there yet. I just sit in wonder how people could already be level 50. Did you guys skip 90% of the other regions? Is this your only character? If not why not do another one while waiting?

It's not an intentional blockade.
It's not 100% bugged for all.
I completed it on the play test server with EP but I stumbled across a few bugs. Had to abandon a couple quests, had to relog multiple times.

My problems with that final quest line that includes groundskeeper and chasm that stands in the way of getting the final main quest were mostly linked with duoing with someone such that when one of us did an objective before the other it sometmies left the second person out of sync temporarily.

why would somebody who has made it to lvl 50 want to go do all of that again on another character? Ive gotten pretty much 100% complete on each zone, and there isnt a point in making another character for the other 2 factions because those are the quests youll be doing after you finish this bugged quest. People are constantly getting to this point so the amount of people being blocked just keeps adding up, ZOS almost never patches anything over the weekend so by monday how many more do you think will be stuck at this point? There are people who have been stuck on this quest chain for over a week.

Ground Keeper was bugged for days, not this part.

There are a LOT of bugs with quests this is just one of many. I want them to fix BC ive never been able to do it because its always bugged. To me thats more important because it affects me. To you this is more important because it affects you. That doesnt mean I think they should ignore everyone else and only work on my issue. I bet there are a lot more people at lvl 10-20 than level 50.

Also just wondering why you have 8 char slots but only want 1 character? Seems odd. Youd want to go through it again because its supposed to be fun.

Even if it were truly bugged, what is stopping the GM's force spawning them every say 45mins to an hour?

Possibly the GM cannot do what you ask.

They had the ability to do it during beta, I can't imagine why they wouldn't have the ability to do it now.

The GMs had far more tools in the beta client. The live client does not have those tools because its not a beta anymore.

you said official confirmation from ZOS, that link right there is from ZOS saying that it is a known issue. There is a ghetto work around that requies nobody at all to run up to the room for 5 minutes. This also requies no trolls to just AFK in the room. There is also the problem that the east portal isnt bugged out not spawning, its now the opposite and it opened and never closed again.

There is no work around, it is simply spawning or not and is completely random, we had a room full of people and it spawned on peoples heads in a space of 20 mins roughly apart, but we haven't seen another since.

If you enter a fresh instance for this zone, the portals are up 100%, they do not spawn when running near the room based on proximity.

People are also getting the update from being AFK.

There is only one sure way of a work around for this and that is to get everyone to clear out of your current instance and zone back in in an effort to trigger a fresh instance, that's the only real work around, but good luck organizing that.

Alternatively, the GM's could reset the zone server for this instance only OR Coldharbor itself.

East and West popped just now, 5 mins apart from each other with rooms full of people.

okay i was only responding to you because you were acting like this was somehow intended and not bugged and now it seems like you are saying the total opposite. You asked for official statement and i gave you one, i really dont see how people ocasionally getting through changes the fact that this quest is bugged. You also just said there is no work around and then said there is a work around.

Rough translation (chrome):

"Hello,
How do you (and we) unfortunately had to find the fix of a quest blocker has unveiled the next. We are working hard to patch 1.0.3, which should fix a wide variety of quest-blockers, with particular attention to the main quest. The patch will be ready for the next scheduled maintenance.
Simultaneously we try the customer service to identify ways to fix some quest blockers, especially in cold harbor in the game, that you may, at best, comes this weekend past them."

Good news, after waiting for 3 days it finally reset after waiting in the zone for about 20 mins.

ZOS_GinaBruno

Hey guys! We currently have a few GMs stationed in some instances on each megaserver to help those of you who are stuck at the portals. If you don't see anyone, please use /help in-game, and someone should be by to help you.

We do plan on having this quest fixed for the next patch, but this should help you get around it in the meantime.

Nah bro, we have been waiting for days. Nothing about this is intended. Every other quest marker in the game is therew when you want it. Some people are sitting here for hours for this and nothing. Its a major bug and the only one they should be focusing on right now.

It's not a mystery. You can be level 50 inside of 24 hours if you want. You can be VR10 inside 3-4 days if you want. It's that easy.

However, if you do every quest and have rank 8 in the Mages Guild and Fighters Guild and have completion achievements for quests and skyshards and public dungeons and points of interest in every zone BEFORE you ding 50, you'll basically only need 7-10 days total if you play hard.

The game is extremely easy to level up if you choose for it to be. I haven't skipped any content and I'm VR1 (and Coldharbour main story quest is bugged for me, so I can't progress). I also have a lvl 6 alt, lvl 10 alt, and lvl 27 alt. I have been doing full content on all characters, no AOE farming at all. It really just takes time. If you're only playing 2-3 hours a day, you won't have progressed very far if you're participating in all of the content along the way.
