Academic Acquisitions throws a LUA error

Support Bug Report
1

I can’t read the text of this quest.
When I click on the quest tracker to open the details, it opens the Map & Quest Log window instead, and when I try to click on the quest from that window, it throws a LUA error:

Same here. Made two post and no one is responding at all since yesterday.

I waited a few days to start this quest line, only to run around aimlessly looking for the quest mobs to collect Artifacts from. After finding and collecting all 5 Sonova Snowden simply tells me “not a bad start” and I cant turn in the quest. Re-load UI did not work, exiting the game did not work. Theres also no information but 2 posts on this issue. Great Job Blizz keeps the bugs and maintenance every morning it seems, for this… 8hr maintenance for this…

I’m here to chime in and say I had this error as well.

Just had some luck turning off an addon I use called “Storyline” , which makes the quest pick up into an small cutscene of dialog between the character and NPC. Nice but with the quest being so buggy all around it did not allow me to continue the conversation. Cant say what would work for the countless others doing literallly nothing in the Azure Span now

That’s good to hear.

Sadly, I wasn’t using any quest-related addon.
I just started killing stuff on the area until the quest showed as completed.

I did not get a lua error but I did have the same problem with not being able to open the quest text. Quest shows up in quest log but clicking it does nothing. Also, mobs give no indication that they drop the required item.

I’m also getting this error. I’m not sure if/what addon it is that’s causing it. I’ll do a little troubleshooting and report back if I figure anything out.

Ok… disabled ALL addons and deleted any of the Blizzard Saved Variables in the WTF folders. No luck. Still popping up LUA errors. Here are the messages I’m getting:

Pretty annoying considering I dedicated time in my day to actually do a PvE quest and garbage like this happens.

The ship is sinking, the rats have fled, and Microsoft will scuttle the ship straight to the bottom.

13

Yep getting the same thing, had 4/5 then all of a sudden enemies wouldnt drop the item nor show that they even did. Check the quest and just repeatedly get the lua error

14

still happening here the error as well. trying to tidy up all the side quests i can in each zone.

This quest throws a ton of errors for me too.
