Crossing the Chasm - Portals not spawning - Workaround

sean.prestonb14_ESO
For everyone out there stuck on "Crossing the Chasm" still - there is a valid workaround. This has been confirmed to work on the NA Megaservers twice already this morning but requires the co-operation of everyone on the quest.

If the East/West portals are not up and do not appear to be spawning, all players in that area go to the bridge that separates East and West.

Waiting there for approximately 5 minutes time, the portals then respawn. Everyone in the area can then rush the room, kill the mobs, wait for the portal to shut and get the update.

If players continue to stand near the portal room, in the room, run near it repeatedly - it blocks the portals. It appears to be some sort of proximity issue - the bridge is the safest bet for distance as again it has been confirmed twice to work around the blocking issue.

    Yep, this worked for us. There was a massive horse charge to both portals after they went up.

    May the great Bridge bless you!

    This may go down as one of the greatest trolls of all time, or you may have save Zenimax and Bethesda some subscriptions. Either way were attempting it atm. I will post again if it worked.
  • thefreezingvoid
    It worked. Either that or the guy hammering it fixed it...

    Okay, new workaround. You have to /hammer the portals. I'm convinced it worked twice now.
  • thefreezingvoid
    ... So its either it is legitimately fixed... have to get people to bridge for 5 minutes... or you have to hammer it for 5 minutes... Need more testing...

    Over 50 people waiting on these portals right now, this needs to be fixed before the weekend. Completely unacceptable on Zenimax's part that this has yet to be addressed.

    If you did not get it before now, you will have to have to wait till at least Monday. Its the weekend and there will always those that will not go for the bridge technique. So dumb that we have to come up with a fix to process through this game.

    We got the west portal working on the EU Ebonheart zone. Unfortunately too few people understand English on the EU server to organize the same on the east portal... And then we also have a few trolls who intentionally stand in the room, making demands before they will leave...

    I can confirm that standing back about 20/25 meters worked. about 100 of us just did it. MAking everyone move back politely took... a while, but we did it.
