Dialogue sound wasn't played for the above screenshotted npcs.

Later Captain dialogue sound wasn't played either

For this first run, I'm on a copied alt who's completed pretty much everything relevant (MQ / guild quests / Cadwell's Gold / all DLC Chapters / Zone questlines) and I'll be focusing on quests and dialogue.

Having finished the Writhing Wall delves including the Writhing Fortress and progressed through to Eastern Solstice, I'm now stuck partway through Turning of the Worm. The person I was grouped with (who is on a template alt) hasn't been affected and is able to progress the quest, while I later spoke with someone on a copied alt who was also stuck at the same point.

I've tried various combinations of logging off/back on, teleporting away and back, abandining the quest again... nothing. Azah's quest marker is still stuck on him, he repeats the same dialogue after changing location, (with no dialogue to prompt us to follow him, so discovering he does move was a fluke), and I can't see where to go to find Walks-In-Ash and Darien except by following my groupmate.
Meanwhile Azah just moved from bridge to lookout and back each time I get more than a few paces from him, and he's stuck in the same dialogue loop indefinitely. Footage is from my final attempt after abandoning, logging off for 20 minutes and retrying it solo (apologies for the low volume, I'll take a look at my settings):

We also noticed that when first approached, Azah and the Fellowship soldiers were stuck in the ground, although Azah popped out when his line triggered, (this occurred for both of us) but everyone remained above-ground while I was attempting to progress the quest with return visits, so it wasn't repeatable on this alt.

Same problem. Has me wondering if the dialogue we get for having done the main quest isn't counting as finishing the conversation for the quest to continue.

I get a dialogue option to say I'm a Vampire even though the character isn't a Vampire. (I am on a template char)

The Enraged Blood Twilight respawned rather fast

Technically this is feedback on a bug 'fix' from the last PTS, Update 47, for the delve quests with Darien.

Although he no longer spawns duplicates when you get him stuck in the boundary of his navigable area, he now simply despawns shortly after delivering one of his 'wrong way' lines, disappearing while we watch. There is a tiny chance of him spontaneously respawning if you run straight back into bounds, but it happened only once in ten attempts for me while testing it today on a copied alt. Running back out and in again over the spot where he despawned seemed to work consistently, but may be hard to achieve in gameplay if people don't know excatly where they lost him.

The old 'bug' left his original version in place and spawned a duplicate to resume following you, so is there some way to make it so that his 'stuck' version despawns but a replacement appears consistently? Yes, there's a risk of reinstating his 'daily quest' duplication glitch, I'm not trying to sneak that past you, honest.
Although I woudn't complain if it did come back...
Or maybe relocate his boundaries to encompass the docks and a wider corridor in either direction?

Because when he disappears now, there are a few ways of respawning him:
- Enter Sunport via Loadscreen Door
- Recall to the Sleepy Sloth Inn room and he'll reappear upon exiting the Inn
- Pop in and out of the Outlaw Den via either of its loadscreen doors (he'll reappear upon exiting)
- Recall to Sunport Wayshrine
- Recall to any Wayshrine then teleport to Sunport Wayshrine
- Recall to any other Zone's Wayshrine or player home, then teleport to Sunport, Sunport Docks, Rampart Camp or Shell-Tide Village Wayshrines.
- Resurrect to the nearest Wayshrine after dying in combat (worked for Rampart Camp Wayshrine)
But these won't work:
- Recall directly to Sunport Docks, Rampart Camp Wayshrine, or Shell-Tide Village Wayshrine (despite being within his 'boundary')
- Run to any Solstice Wayshrine other than Sunport's, and teleport to Sunport Docks, Rampart Camp Wayshrine, or Shell-Tide Village Wayshrine.
And that's more likely to cause confusion and complaints on Live than whatever miniscule chance there is someone might take a detour on the way to that first delve to pick up a daily quest and end up with an extra Darien or two briefly.

Especially when the likelihood is people are going to cut South towards the Quest Marker from the Sunport Docks Wayshrine if they choose to go to the Tarnur Mine site first, and will almost immediately lose him in this spot if they don't stay on the road:

(Character) Hecicla: The dialogue is messed up in German. Hecicla the Argonian hermit introduces herself as Battlereeve Urcelmo

(Location) Calindvale Gardens: Enemies don't seem to automatically return to their location if you've ran away far enough?! Which led to me being "stuck in combat" for something between 5 and 10 minutes because I needed to wait until each single one reached me, so I could end the combat by hitting them once (after the end of the quest, I just intended to run back to the dungeon entrance). Also, fast-travel out will lead to the quest marker of the local quest disappearing. It will automatically reappear once you get close enough to the marked location again.

(Item) The Staff of Magnus: Now it looks completely different than when we saw it for the first time in ESO. Not sure if that makes much sense when it comes to an important ancient artifact, especially since the design was kept exactly the same in different TES games (in Morrowind, Skyrim and ESO - and well, it was nothing more but a simple line in Arena and Daggerfall, but that was surely due to technical limitations). Now, it looks nothing like that anymore. Also, it looks exactly like the current staff of Vanus Galerion.

Curious if this is intentional. Cariel said ayrenn lent it to the mages guild, so i thought it was referring to the events in greenshade where naemon originally stole it from a mages guild vault. Is the staff Vanus and Gabrielle wielded this season intended to be the Staff of Magnus, and this new solstice quest supposed to be them losing it at some point? Artifacts can change appearances between games, and Vanus's staff does have an eye of magnus looking orb in the middle of it.

The above dialog was not spoken

A different question: With the next patch, would it be possible to provide some preset in which the Solstice main quests 1-6 (1-5: West Solstice, 6: Writhing Fortress) are already completed, so a character could just start the East Solstice main questline without doing any of the quests before that? I'd like to do a bit more main quest testing in the East, but I don't want to spend another 2-3 (or even more) hours in the Writhing Fortress for that.

And to access quest 7 (the first in the East), all quests from the Solstice main questline before that need to be completed (also all quests in the West), otherwise no quest marker will show up for quest 7. It will show for the earliest uncompleted quest of the whole questline - if only quest 6 is marked as completed and quests 1-5 are left open, it will not send you to quest 7, but to quest 1).

So while I was editing the clip for the above post about Raz and Skordo's clones, my game timed out. Not generally a problem, happens a lot, and I'd paused my recording software when I switched to the editing one anyway, so all I'd need to do would be to check where I was, and restart my most recent conversation to make sure I didn't miss anything, then edit out the extra bits afterwards.

Except that something seemed different at the campsite where everyone had gathered, and I couldn't quite put my finger on what... So I abandoned the quest I'd just picked up after completing 'The Worm Turns', stopped my paused recording and started a fresh one, then turned to Darien since he'd had a blink-and-you'd-miss-it comment during Azah's debrief which I'd managed to catch by dropping out of the conversation before picking up 'Hunt For The Great Mage' as the new quest.

And then I see it - while I'd been offline, Darien had changed his armor. Had I missed a line of dialogue about it?

I open up the recording I'd just made, jump to the last few minutes, and Darien's still in his Golden Knight armor, not the Lion Guard Captain style, delivering his lines as I remembered.

So I switch back to the game, and repeat the sequence of dialogue I'd done the first time around - but Darien's pre-quest line is now completely different and I'm wondering what the heck is going on. His next lines do match what I had already recorded though, only that one instance had changed.

So here's a recording of his dialogue in sequence, in each set of armor:
https://youtu.be/2Jo-_9y_8oQ

I'm guessing it somehow glitched when my game timed out at that point, and I shouldn't be seeing this yet?
EDIT: Yep, the dialogue for his armor happens later, and that line about Gabrielle does too (much later) so I'm going to guess this was a glitch caused by my game timing out at a critical moment. Unfortunately I couldn't revert it back at the time, but I don't know if it will happen due to other factors. I'll check on another alt after the patch.

And why, dear gods but why does his cuirass have to be all in that shade of gold? It looks awful, and some of the parts supposed to be made of metal look dull enough to pass as leather. Or is it just the bad lighting in their location?
Although my preference would be to put him into a full set of Daggerfall Covenant armor, since he wore the guards/boots (medium, that was a surprise) while on Artaeum, and is still carrying the sword from that style now despite changing shield.

Here's the set undyed of the Lion Guard Captain with the Ancestral Breton Sword & Shield dyed in Tower White-Gold/Patron's Gold/Prefect's Gray to match (spoilered to condense message):
And in the Daggerfall Covenant style from that scene on Artaeum, but the full set this time, also undyed:
I'll update with anything relevant to this once I've played through more of the quest. And apologies for being snarky, this was just... not what I was expecting. If he's no longer Meridia's Golden Knight, why is he still wearing golden armor?

EDIT: Remember also that his armor as the Captain of the Camlorn Guard was a mix of Breton heavy pieces, I've recreated it here but with the Ancestral Breton sword he likes, and the Breton Shield 4 (instead of his original Breton Shield 1, because its the shape he's used more often and matches the sword better): (Which I think looks way better on him than the LGC set, and was in common use throughout High Rock, so it's more likely to be carried by the soldiers who joined the Stirk Fellowship.)

EDIT: Ah, he 'likes the Lions', huh? Please recolour it so it doesn't look like the cuirass had been offloaded cheap due to a nasty accident involving mustard...

Also, when we return to camp after the first part of the quest, I found him not far past the wayshrine, and had the dialogue about his armor change, but it looks like one of the icons is missing which indicate the tone of the response:


Found a few more instances of missing icons in dialogue option screens, along with a lot of animation glitches and audio/text dialogue discrepancies. I'm recording this, so I'll put together a full post of all of them I notice once I've finished the rest of the questline.

Pretty sure the tint is part of an encounter. It takes a little bit of time to trigger but it does happen. I went back to that spot since I assumed it was for a quest I hadn't found like the one in Skyrim but it seems to just be for an encounter.

Ah, okay. I'm going to check that another time later.

I've seen it now. Is it a one-time thing? Because it is interesting.

The only potential issue I see is that it takes a whole while for the encounter to appear, so some people might just assume a bug and continue their way and won't see it.
