Are you guys going to fix it soon? I stopped playing completely until it's fixed. And it's not only Veteran, it's for everyone.

is there a way to report this to a GM?

I guess...

" If this patch does not fix your issue, than there is an alternative to requesting for this issue to be fixed. Ready for it....like magic, TADAAAH! /bug!" Lol, is all of customer support like Mr. Caffeine. Seriously.. And not sure which patch notes he wanted me to research, very vague if I may say so >.<

GM!!! Please fix this ****** bugged quest. I can't play game though I paid monthly for this game... So YOU fix it RIGHT NOW! I dare you make me waiting.. I'm impatient. >:(

The quest is still bugged. I'm disappointed because I paid monthly for value game. I can't play forward. I reported this and NO reply? Are you kidding? (sigh) Please fix it immediately. ZOS_JessicaFolsom

That wait for maintenance work on Friday? And before Friday what to do? One broken quest completely blocked progress passing locations! Do something already!

Can anyone confirm that that works? ^^

Also, while I was really really happy to get a GM to actually chat with me using the in game chat (and not the clunky "don't exit this screen" chat window), and I was really happy to see he spoke my language well and was fluent and trying to be helpful, it was just really made clear to me that the actual tools available to administrators really don't seem very developed. As I said above, the fact they are not able to do two things really blows my mind (because both would solve my problem, which has stopped my game play for 2 days and made me aggravated). These aren't quotes. Just me paraphrasing.

1 - "Can you just nudge my quest progression along? I do not care. I just need to be able to progress." "No I cannot. Really its kind of like cheating." I disagree with this. I can't tell you how many times it was helpful in WoW to have a GM come in and go "Yep let me investigate. Okay, yeah, its busted. Here. Now you can move to the next step." Yes, you are depriving me of the Darien fight. But its not MY fault that I can't even get it started. I just want to continue.

2 - "Can you port me to a phase where it IS working?" "No. Can't do that because I cannot really jump between servers easily to test it. In fact, I cannot even see you in this phase because my character is basically like as if I never finished the tutorial (for real BTW). I can't even use the gates there. I can't use the secret tunnel either. Because my guy has never talked to Skorm and all that." Which sounds crazy to me. This game is heavily dependent on phases. All of Northpoint is basically 2 different phases, with little mini-phases in them! And the whole game is that way. GM's should be able to transcend that stuff to help actually SEE the problem easily and then if needed maybe even help push the player to a position that can help.

At one point I was told that "You know, I wanted to play GTA5 and it was busted and so I couldn't play the part I wanted to play for a month," or something to that affect. I quickly reminded them that A) Rockstar gave concessions for a LONG time after that to make up for the blunder and I hope that happens here because on top of that (B) unlike GTA5 I am paying $15 per month. $30 if I count the rest of my family.

Before this helpful and polite person came on board to help me, the previous advice I got was "You could go to Cyrodil to PVP." After eventually running out of options even with the helpful GM, I just said, "Screw it. I've finished everything in this zone. I will go to Cyrodil and try that." You know what happened? The 2nd quest there (the siege weapons) was bugged.

So now officially I am blocked everywhere. Which kind of is insulting considering going to PVP was their immediate solution. I'm ripping my hair out over this a bit. I am trying to be nice. I was very polite to the GM that helped me. But holy crap man. After all of that, I just about blew up when I fired siege weapons for 15 minutes and none of the targets counted. I literally cannot progress the PVP training quests either.

There is something up. Between the resurgence of Molag Bol errors, this Liberation error, the Siege Weapons Training error-- this game is REALLY broken this week.

I wish they'd just restart the servers right now. So at least maybe these quests work for a few hours. Because my hunch is we won't get an emergency patch for another 24 hours at least.

Yeah to clarify-- "He said we should...", I was referring to the GM. Not the poster here.

I do too. I really love the game and I want to support ANY company that makes something as detailed and lovely as this game.

And at the same time, I do read these boards a lot and I do think there is quite a lot of posting here that is trolling and not helpful.

But I also do have a hard time thinking of an MMO I've played after launch that was perpetually blocked so frequently. Every MMO has bugs. But honestly, I haven't had this hard of a time just getting a crappy workaround. The tools should be in place to provide emergency help so that gameplay can continue.

That, to me, is the real problem here. I'm not upset that bugs exist. I'm upset that my game experience really is blocked, and its not like a bonus achievement or anything, but that nobody on staff seems to be able to just nudge me forward or help me bypass the problem.

This IS an emergency problem (in the pyramid of game problems), just like the Molag Bol problem. And to me both of these things should have band-aid emergency solutions in place just to allow gameplay to continue for those who want it, while the game gets its real stability built in.

My worst fear with this situation is that the game will be basically blocked for me until like next Wednesday. That should not happen in a subscription game ever. Bugs happen. Waiting for fixes happens. But not being able to just proceed is kind of lame. Normally the only time I have to deal with that is because of things I have control over (PC problems, configuration problems, etc). Tinges of regret for JUST paying my subscription fees this week wouldn't happen if I could count on a polite discussion with a GM that results in a workaround because, well, it wasn't MY fault that the product I purchased has no emergency workarounds in place for GMs to utilize. I should be able to at least be able to discuss things pragmatically with a GM and get a bypass route.

If a particular stage of a quest is broken shouldn't it be taken out or changed (like you just have to talk to NPC) until it is working properly? It's been broken since early access.

Topic title should be changed from "for days" to "for months" now...

No it doesn't work, logged out for an hour and then went back with no active quests in my journal and restarted the quest, same result, still bugged.



Come one Zen get yer fingers out, the games got more bugs than a termite mound.

You can continue main quest line in Alik'r Desert. Go to Wayrest talk to Zhilijdel at the dock to get ship. Even though mobs are 31-32 when you land they are as easy to kill as in Rivenspire, I'm 29 Templar. Look around for missed quests if you aren't this level or do dungeon runs. Looks like they are doing a Darien fix. I took a swim around the whole north coast only saw one other person and got 3 blues a heap of greens off mobs and chests plus did a couple of dungeons and levelled up.

Eventually this quest will get fixed or just try the 'logging in at a quiet time' work around.

It's not so much a big deal at 1-50 with this quest bugged, it's if you do it at veteran ranks - This and it's successor quest line are required to move on to your third faction. Eventually getting fixed is not an option, need it done ASAP.
Also that workaround doesn't work anymore, haven't heard from anyone who's been as to finish it.
