Quest Bugged - Glenumbra: Bloodthorn Assassins (Search for Verrick and His Assassins)

Seagonius · April 2014

Frustrating that bugs that have been around since beta haven't been fixed.

Ticare · April 2014

This is pretty ridiculous. There's at least 40 people trying to complete this quest right now (on one shard) and most of them complaining about it or other similar quests in map chat. These bugs need to be fixed fast or this game is going to lose players really quickly and probably lose a lot of potential buyers too when the reviewers get to work.

What's making this type of thing so utterly frustrating is that it's impossible to know if the problem is a broken quest, or if it's just that there are too many people doing the quest.

Didn't anyone anticipate the first few days of launch? Do they really want for people to come across this kind of thing while writing reviews?

This whole "just wait a few days and no one will be there and it'll be fine" is a cop out.

Or perhaps one is a symptom of the other, which is what I believe is going on. Any reason that a quest location like say, a ship, can't be a solo instance? And any reason why we haven't seen a soft/hard server reset yet? Or have they done it already and the bugs just pile up faster.

It's not just this quest. Yesterday it took me over an hour to finish Unearthing The Past in Betnikh because the spawns were broken.

They need to fix and patch these bugs before the 4th because if they're still around at launch they can sink this game. Reviewers will take no mercy and new players will not put up with it. Remember it's only us 5 day early access players causing these major problems. Today the 3 day early access players start which add more to the population and aggravate those problems, and come the 4th there's no more excuses. That's do-or-die day.

These are progress-blocking quest bugs, and honestly even if they weren't there's no excuse for them to still be around after months of nonstop /bug reports.

So it's been months now without a fix and they're down to only three days to go. They better get moving.

Bugged here, agreed a comment from Devs would be good. Logged in and out countless times and does nothing whatsoever.

GeneralCornwallace · April 2014

yep it is bugged for sure..

GeneralCornwallace · April 2014

Quest is fixed, so they are obviously listening to us. Some of you guys really do need to have more faith its the second day of early access for petes sake

taho22b14_ESO · April 2014

Why should I have more faith since this has been a known bug for weeks. My money says it breaks again in 10 hours.

Likely really not fixed, just "fixed" by the fact that servers were turned off and then on again.

I'm pretty close to just asking for a refund. This was reported in beta and yet here I am after launch completely stopped from progressing due to this same ***.

Very disappointed.

Can I ask what quest you are stuck on that is completely blocking progression? Cause this one only blocks one chain of quests.

CaptainTrips · April 2014

As the OP of this thread, just want to say that I was able to complete this quest last night by logging out and waiting 30 secs and then logging in. One crate in the Lydia's hold re spawned about once every 20 secs after killing the assassin inside. The quest is still bugged of course but it was completable. Hopefully ZOS will address this in the next patch soon before the 4th.

ESObtst_Grig · April 2014

i can't believe this is still happening .. IT"S STILL BUGGED after all this time .. STILL BUGGED EVEN AT LAUNCH !!

cloud_district0101 · April 2014

People have been "alerting" them that it's bugged since beta. How about you alert them and then they fix it? How's that sound? Seeing as how we're not getting paid for this and you are. I think that's a more logical solution don't you?

Was STILL bugged two hours ago. Re-logged ... that didn't work, abandoned the quest ... now I can't restart it. Hope this new patch fixes the problem.

Bombata · April 2014

It's not the quest that's bugged. It's more serious than that unfortunately. The underpinning phasing technology isn't working properly under some circumstances and it's causing multiple problems.

ZMO are working on it and things are improving slowly. Meanwhile they should stop claiming to have 'fixed' everything in each series of patch notes. It's starting to make them look either liars or incompetents when in fact they are neither.

They'll get there. It's just going to take some time. Meanwhile this is still a great game.

It blocks the main Daggerfall story-line. It's pretty fundamental.

Go back to talk to Captain Aerin (spelling?). That should restart your quest from what I heard from others.

thelastradio · April 2014

Thanks I will try that

thelastradio · April 2014

Ok I can confirm that talking to Captain Aresin (standing just below the stairs North of passing Daggerfall Castle) restarts the quest if you happen to have lost it. Thanks very much for your help Scipio!

Ranger_X · April 2014

Be careful the next step is bugged too. When I visited the king the first time there was no arrow over his head to end the quest. I had to restart and then it appeared. Still buggy although the major glitch of finding the assassins seems fixed.

Rhyx36 · June 2014

My game crashes everytime im in the boat and due to auto save i can't get out in other words this build will need to be started on all over agian please fix this

mobihci · June 2014

yeah, i get a crash every time i send a character through this quest, and not just one crash. it will sometimes not come good. its something to do with the phasing as with all these quests that something or another doesnt show up that should. this one however will crash without fail.

to advance the character, i have found you can load up an alt that is in the city, then go to the ship where you entered and crashed. it will load correctly because the bug is with the spawn/quest, not the area. one you are in the ship, log out, then go back to the one you are sending though the quest and it shouldnt crash, though it might once on the way back out the door.

i think the phasing crashes like that depend on the flow of players through the area at the time you try to enter/exit. wait and relog just stalls your attempt until someone else actually gets through the door etc.

eg xyz does not show up for a fight, box not there etc and you cannot advance, you reload ui, cancel quest, reload game, load another character then back to that one etc all seem to work at times, but one thing that always makes a difference is grouping and/or wait, watch someone new to the zone enter the quest for their own phase, then follow them. seems to make broken quests work again.

Doesn't ESO have GMs that can move your character from the boat? Rerolling the character seems extreme.

I've seen several posts where players have stated that they are stuck because a quest won't complete (Cyrodiil) or whatever and they are rerolling. Why doesn't someone from Zenimax contact them and offer to help them instead? Its terrible that players think that their only option is to reroll and the fact that Zenimax lets people read that on their forums is terrible PR.
