Bugged Quests - Same as in beta?

dahak777 · March 2014

I just had a thought when I ran into an other bugged quest.
this time "The brothers will Rise"

Those of you who experienced bugged quests I have two questions

1) where you in the beta/beta weekends?
2) if so where the quests that are bugged for you now the same as then?

For my self the following have been the same

Crow's wood
Restoring the Guardians
Death of Balgreth
The Brothers will Rise.

Just thought that there might be some link between the beta users and these current bugged quests

Hey,

I'm currently at two of those quests, which both aren't working.
I have been in the beta's, didn't do any of these quests tho.

1) Restoring the guardians - Summon and defeat Ragebinder/Blaze
Both summons not working for 2-3 hours now.
2) The Brothers Will Rise - Collect the essence of Fire/Wrath from the acolytes
Can't talk/collect.

I have tried to reloadUI, and reconnect. That didn't solve the problem(s)

Awaiting reply from someone who can guide us through the problem

Micconos · March 2014

I've the same problem (The Brothers Will Rise)

I can't talk/access the acolytes the Essence of Fire/Wrath.

Ditto for Restoring the Guardians. I really would have hoped/expected this issue to be fixed after the betas. A lot of quests have this problem.

steveb16_ESO46 · March 2014

Yea. I hope all those guys who were pointing at the 'all fixed now' claims in the patch notes and yelling at people to shut up remember this the next time. Assassins crates in daggerfall. same old story. relogging and reloading no help at all. Yes. Fixed.

Defeating Balreth for me is bugged. The guardians were bugged in the beta multiple sessions,but were alright for me this time.

All the quest bug are always of the same kind:

A mob is not respawning
An object is not respawning
An object is not acting as intented.

This can take various aspects, but generally it's a door not opening, a rock wall not exploding, a cup not being clickable... And generally, logout then back in can solve the issue, after a few times trying.

So it seems to be the instance/phase reset not working as intended... Which is boring is when the servers are just started, all is going fine and after a few hours running issues are starting to arise.

Can we have some information on any planned action on this bug as it was there since at least two betas... And it's really really boring and killing the interest of the game... especially when it's your main quest that's stuck... Or your mage guild one...

Zenimax, a statement on this please.

Tried the 2 stated ones again, but can't continue in the progress yet.

Daggers · April 2014

Yep, Guardians bugged, Crows Wood bugged. Is this what happens when you use a crappy $99/year 3rd party MMO engine instead of building your own? (jk btw... partially -- it's the same engine behind ESO and SWTOR)

Nortman · April 2014

I think Zenimax should say something, maybe give second free month.

I just want them to fix it and not just write 'we fixed it' in each new set of patch notes.

Said at the time it was unwise to turn the live (and paid for) Early Access into another round of beta testing.

Now I love this game and will be subscribing but not everyone is a long time ESO fan willing to pay and hope.

Not to mention it's going to affect reviews. You can't really go on Amazon and Meta-critic and say this is a 10/10 game yet and that's what I want to be able to do in good faith.

Bloodthorn Assassins - also bugged.

Raapnaap · April 2014

All quests in the west part of Stonefalls seem to work, the east part of the map is a hellish (lava and scamps included) buggy mess and frustrating experience.

The next zone is hit and miss also, it seems. I've already encountered one bugged quest there as well in the Orc stronghold (south-west corner of the map), the one where you have to summon a Necromancer NPC by interacting with a non-existing skull object (prior to this stage you have to camp an incredibly slow respawning cauldron to loot 6 skulls, that easily takes 20 minutes... If you're lucky, so if you're reading this, skip that quest for now, you get no reward for your efforts).

AngryNord · April 2014

I don't think Balreth and Brothers will rise was bugged in beta? I completed them both then... Had trouble in the last beta With rescuing Survivors from deadra spider-like thingies.. And the Anchors from the Harbour quest (no daedra showed up)

wounded_graywolf · April 2014

These are the exact same bugs that were in the beta for months. It has something to do with the way their system phases content -- and some quests seem more prone to it than others. If you're one of the first people to these quests, they work, but everyone else who follows you finds it bugged because something doesn't reset properly. The login/logout fix is hit or miss again because of something about the instancing/phasing.

The sad thing is, they could have worked with much more of the beta community prior to launch to test their "fixes" -- the bugs tend to crop up most when large numbers of people are doing the quests.

The good news is, far fewer of the quests are bugged this way than they were in the last beta weekend (that was a weekend in pure quest-completion frustration).

AshTal · April 2014

I found in BETA that the rise of the guardians was bugged and so did a lot of people. What amazes me is it's broken in live after it was flagged, nothing has been done about it, no messages or notes, and customer service is terrible. Also you can't even skip it because they send you back to Ash mountain in the next zone.

scabrous_ftz · April 2014

I'm playing on Daggerfall alliance and in the last beta, I had over a dozen quests that could not be completed. I was quite happy to finish all of those during early access. But I have been hearing zone chat that some quests have become bugged since I completed them. I also ran into one new bugged quest in Glenumbra.

Seraseth · April 2014

The crates for bloodthorn assassins have been bugged the past 2 days for me. And the lady stone outside daggerfall can't be interacted with.

Both of which I bugged in beta.

scabrous_ftz · April 2014

I managed to do Bloodthorn Assassins on Sunday. Too bad it bugged out again. I forgot about the Lady Stone. Was bugged for me as well.

Keygrim · April 2014

Its really hard to understand why these things have not been fixed yet. Also, no GM will show up and reset whatever needs be in order to allow players to continue quests. Yes, there might be a lot of people requiring assistance, but honestly, the number of players having early access should have been known.

Not only do those bugging quests break immersion and you're completely left off to do something else if available, no, you also do not get any reply. So why again is it called early access and not "another beta"? Seriously this is getting somewhat frustrating - because logging in and out doesn't even help for every bugged quest there is.
