Getting angry with the amout of broken uncompleatable quests

billy_longhurstb16_ESO
Im a layed back kind of nord , but this is starting to (bug) me now , I have a stack of mounting quests im unable to complete because of the bugs! , im sure its very difficult to fix the quests .... but as I payed for a very expensive version of the game and now I start to pay a monthly Im expecting these bugs to be fixed a lot quicker !

    I'm level 45, and have found exactly (1) one bugged quest that I can't complete - everything else just needed me to reloadui or relog or there is a published workaround for. There are 2 or 3 lorebooks which I haven't been able to pick up - everything else has been workable.

    it usually helps if you post the quests and what bugs, i haven't had a bugged quest I couldn't workaround yet.
    You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

    How many of these posts we gonna get. /bug report it and move on to the next quest. Some of us have completed said quests so sometimes you have to wait. Skip it, move on try again tomorrow, keep looking at patch notes until its fixed. Next Topic!

    For mobs not spawning have you tried /reloadui then if that didn't work log out then back in? That usually works for me when the npc or mob I need isn't where the quest marker says it is supposed to be.

    2x 40s, 2x 20s, all pact, and I've seen plenty of bugged quests. I'm waiting on one now actually. I'd say reloadui/relogging 15 minutes later fixes about half of them... the other half I just check periodically.

    "Why is this taking so long to fix?" has crossed my mind more than once.

    Listen to the so-called drones when they give you advice. Don't get angry, bug report it, and move on. That way you don't waste your time and in the future, it will be fixed for others who try to do that quest. Whining here will gain you nothing.

    If I'm not mistaken, there are other things to do besides the main quest.

    I've finished the main quest, as have most of my guild, and many, many other people. I've never once before heard of any bug preventing completion of it. More and more often I'm seeing people blame the game for their own inabilities. I'm not saying that's the case here, but it's hard to know what bugs are real sometimes when there's so many false accusations floating around.

    Are you evaluating people's complaints to deem them legitimate or not? Some people offer helpful advice. Some people offer their condolences. What are you doing; trying to make sure people stay as pissed off as possible?

    Same. Level 46. Just entering Coldharbor. Experienced a quest that wasn't fixable by reloading the UI, logging out and back in, or waiting for a timed reset (word is ten minutes) exactly one time.

    1.) There are shills on the board intentionally sowing derision even though they don't play the game. I guess that's an MMO thing?

    2.) People who skip all the quest dialogue are a lot more likely to get bugged quests due to NPC actor travel times and how that can interact with the quest states.

    Just out of curiosity, did you read this from a developer comment somewhere?

    Why would you assume there are shills when you just mentioned one way you assume quests get bugged? I've played through 120+ levels (over multiple characters) since release and I've seen plenty of bugged quests, so I have no reason to assume that someone is full of sh** when they're complaining about bugged quests. Maybe I'm a shill?

    Nowhere did I indicate I was "evaluating" anything, nor did I attempt to *** anyone off. You might want to take some of your own advice though.

    Yeah, you're not helping anything by going into a complaint thread and posting this stuff. Implying that people are either lying or the the cause of their own problems isn't going to do anything but *** them off. I mean if that's what you're going for, good job?

    "I'm not saying that's the case here"
    Dude, what is your problem? You are the only one pissing people off here. Stop trying to imply *** that just isn't true!

    I WAS helping when I said, "I've finished the main quest, as have most of my guild, and many, many other people. I've never once before heard of any bug preventing completion of it." You need to turn off that selective reading of yours and stop being a ***.

    You were helping by saying that you and your friends haven't seen any of these problems and you weren't sure if people complaining about them had a legitimate reason to?

    I have been v10 for about 3 weeks now. I have most achievements for doing all the quests in the zone I only found 2 quests that were broken. You either don't know what you're doing or you don't know that reloggin can fix most quest issues.

    I post in here because im am expressing my discontent with the game as its current state , and as this is the zenimax pve ebornheart forum I feel I have a right to post here as im NOT a sheil Im a paying community member and i WANT to enjoy this game.

    If I buy any product I buy that is broken I will attempt to contact the seller, I have filled out a GM help response but its been over a few days now without any reply.

    Im sure most of you have no problems with your quests and that brilliant , but I do , and I usually repeat them about 3 times a day in hope they fix or I do something different but they always break at the same point.

    People are so willing to jump to the defense of the game that just makes this experience more frustrating.

    I have yet to have a bugged quest that didnt fix itself by quitting the game and logging back in as a last resort. I wonder if your problems are zone specific? Ive been playing daggerfall mostly

    Only quest I can't finish so far is the Deeshan quest, "School Daze" at the Shad Astula academy. I can't get past helping the last student (Tedras Relvi), as the orbs won't activate.

    I still got completion for Deeshan by doing enough quests, so it doesn't bother me that much. Currently in Coldharbour on level 47.

    There might be a fix for it I am unsure, I know it was a common bug.

    Yep. I had only "Final Assault" bugged all through EP this round (last brazier was a PITA).

    But I did have to relog a few times to be able see and/or interact with a few NPC/objects. That is not so much an individual quest bug, but some other bug.

    You don't think the devs rely on these forums to find out whether or not there are bugs, do you? Yeah, you probably do; you also probably think every bug can be fixed instantly, and if it isn't, it's just from a lack of whining on the forums.
