THE ARMY OF MERIDIA MAIN QUEST BUGGED CANNOT PROGRESS

  • neobowzub17_ESO
    We're actively looking into this, folks. Thank you for the reports.

    One thing that would help: Have you done the quest Into the Woods yet?
    Shouldn't we just be allowed into the veteran rank content without needing to wait for a bug fix? Wouldn't it make just a little more sense to not wall off entire zones and content by a quest that can be bugged?

    I've run into several bugged side quests, but I told myself I didn't NEED to do them. This on the other hand is something that has completely stopped my character progression for more than 24 hours now.

    Exactly. This is a high priority issue that is completely stonewalling the entire game for a number of people.

    Is it really not possible for a GM to just advance quest <quest_id> to stage <quest_stage>?

    This seems like basic GM functionality?

    Seriously... fix the npc, its blocking all progress in the zone and we are unable to get into veteran content, you cant just ignore this.

    Could you change the title of this post please?, The name Meridia pretty much spoiled a big part of the story for me, i do hope this quest gets fixed though before i reach it :cry:
    Do you mind? I'm busy doing the fishstick, it's a very delicate state of mind.

    They absolutely can auto complete or simply advance the quest, how ever they wont because it's against the rules lol

    Please fix this... Major issues like that make people not want to pay to play this game.

    I am stuck on this as well. It is rather disappointing to get leveled up just to be blocked off from doing the veteran content.

    This is ridiculous, please allow GM's to advance our quest stage if we are affected by this so we can actually play the game.

    this questline had three bugs today:
    1) If you decide to look around for further members, the quest completes itself somehow after a while, it will open the city and you get the next quest.
    2) where you need to talk to the townkeeper. you could not talk to her. after a few hours there was some massive lag in the zone, i got kicked, rolled back 1 minute or so, and this stage was fixed again. - could it be possible that you can update the server without restarting it for maintance? that would be awesome o.o
    3) after you could talk to her again, you needed to close two portals. one of those portals wont spawn. this one is still bugged.

    lucky for me, i was one of the last today who could finish it without getting bug-blocked

    Gone to bed with a slight hope everything is fixed by now. Instead I just have to figure out a thing to do now because of not being able to progress. Nice.

    not going to be fixed until they at least reset the server, possibly until they do maintenance or release a patch.
  • justinginn08_ESO
    I'll cross my fingers and hope while I sleep they decide to restart the servers in hopes it will fix the problem.

    Dear ZOS,

    I am really dissapointed in you right now.
    When you said that the one of the main reasons for the subscription is, that we get the best support possible, I was happy to hear that. Sadly, I don't really see that "best support" right now.
    Obviously, a server restart is not the sollution for this bug, but temporarily it would solve the problem (till it buggs again) for many people who have this issue (if it is not Phase related... in that case we are all screwed :( ). Those few minutes of server down wouldn't meen much to the other players.
    So I would like to ask you to restart the server please.

    Yours sincerely,
    A Customer who is still paying for this game, but probably not for long if this continues

    You know what it's great, I love seeing all the people that defend zos, and tell every one else that nothing is bugged, or that the game is perfect in every way....

    Here is a prime example as to how it's not, if you can't even give us a time frame for a fix on this can't you at least auto complete the quest for us? I know that's " against your rules" but this is a serious problem, I don't see how doing it would adversely affect any thing.

    Seriously, this is unacceptable.

    Bugs I can accept, but this lack of response or customer service is just not good enough.

    They're working, and they sure ass hell don't have any problems fixing the issue people are having when they try to setup their subscription but fixing this broken quest is clearly bottom of the barrel for them, wtf zos we can not progress end game help us.

    I play for a lot of reasons, but progression is in that list. I think progression is a big part of MMO gameplay.

    That said, My issue isn't even about progression. I did not like the AD areas as much as the others. I wanted to get lost and explore ebonheart lands. Morrowind was my favorite ES game. The guild wanted to go AD and we did. No problem, it has a good story and whatever, and I can go to morrowind whenever I want and just live there, right?

    Well, no, not til they fix this. I missed a few skyshards along the way, I will go do that. I know there is always Cyrodiil, and I love it, but my heart was set on going back through ebonherat/daggerfall as veteran (hopefully brutally challenging) lands. What are we to do when we need a break from Cyro?

    Broken quests suck, but they happen. I get that. You will get them fixed. But broken quests that gate off 65%+ of the game's content? This should *NOT* be happening, and it should be the PRIORITY FIX right now.

    Since the standard "we are working on it" reply, the most ZOS has done for this issue is edit someone's post explaining how none of the answers we get from support tickets have worked even the slightest.

    The NPC will not talk to you
    ReloadUI
    Camp
    Relogging
    Dropping the quest (and having a friend share it with you again)

    Does not fix the issue.

    Please note if you do drop the quest, she will have a quest marker over her head to give you the quest but you still cant talk to her to get it.


    This post was edited by ZOS_UlyssesW a few hours after it was made. It received no reply but was edited. What kind of customer support is that?
