Same here. For some time now I can't do the quest there.

happened just today, 2 times in a row. seriously ZOS, why the hell you're releasing new content if the old ones are full of bugs? fix those first.

In my own experience with developing software, the most frequent cause of bugs is haste, and not having enough time to test the source code output, then to correct any evident errors. All software development projects have deadlines and budget limitations. This is referred to as "time and goal pressure" (stress). Successfully developing software "on time and within budget" which produces correct ouput from correct input is mostly a matter of whether those two goals are realistic under the circumstances in which the software is designed and then implemented. Regardless, ultimately, you don't know until you try.

Evidently, the ZOS developers do not have enough time to produce software that has relatively few bugs. They're always focused on meeting the deadlines in the financial plan to release one DLC for each of three calendar quarters, and an expansion Chapter during the other quarter, once per year.

Evidently, the ZOS developers must be primarily focused on developing and releasing new content because selling new content is probably the most significant source of revenue and profit. It also refreshes and sustains revenue from the Crown Store. IMHO, if ZOS had not made TESO "free to play" and continued to require a monthly subscription, then they would have more revenue to support development. Why they made that decision is for them to justify.

Aside from that, there is an inherent risk of bugs in repeatedly (1) integrating DLCs and Chapters into the original software qua the Base Game, and (2) making significant changes to, and adding new features to, the Base Game per se (an Update). The risk is especially high because ZOS always attempts to do both of those things at the same time, with the same Patch. As a conjecture, the reason for doing both simultaneously is to reduce the cost of distributing the software.

Make of all that what you will, but, in my honest opinion, that is pretty much why we see what we get.

It stuck for me for a long time. I kept abandoning the re-grabbing the quest on the next attempt. Eventually it just worked for me.

you did kill all the trash mobs on the way to as well as inside the circular room, right?

I had this issue recently too.

I had a similar kind of problem in Ruins of Mazzatun last time, though not quite like it. When we came to Treeminder Na-Kesh, one of our group ran a little ahead, but really just a little. He entered the boss arena and somehow the door closed right away behind him, locking the other three of us out. Still the boss fight started normally, we just couldn't enter the arena and had to wait until the other guy died in there for the doors to open again.
