So I recently faction changed a toon (not this one) from Horde to Alliance, and upon logging in to that alt, I got two quests. One was the 8.3 intro quest where you go watch Anduin punch Deathwi- I mean Wrathion in the face, and the other one is the quest “Tides of War”, where you attend the war council and set off on the Kul Tiran intro. Since the alt was 120, he had obviously already done everything on the Zandalar side, so having to do the Alliance intro already seems weird. However, after doing the 8.3 intro quest, I kept trying to phase in to do the BfA intro, but Anduin and the throne room are still phased to 8.3, and I can’t get the quest done. I’ve tried abandoning the quest and reaccepting it, logging out and back in, the whole nine yards. I also have never downloaded an addon in my life. Any ideas on how to fix this? I submitted a ticket to Blizzard but it doesn’t sound like they are able to fix this one.
Sounds like you’re permanently locked into a later game phase.
They might have to stick a bronze dragon in the keep entrance to shift people to an earlier phase like they have in several of the zones.
I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting on that though.
I know those quest completions don’t transfer when faction changing.
This, i find it hard to believe blizzard cannot do anything about this though.
this is why they need to do things the way they’re going to with leveling in shadowlands
it’s a freakin’ mess
I think that they COULD, through something like the bronze dragon mechanic i mentioned, that already exists.
Whether or not they WILL for something like this remains to be seen. It might depend on how much of an issue this causes for others as well, if at all.
I just went through a similar faction change and ran into this issue. From memory, I think I had to progress the first part of the Wrathion questline for the throne room to reset to the BFA intro phase.
That actually did work when I tried it yesterday. All I had to do was turn in the first quest, and get to the point where Magni asks me to travel, and it fixed itself! Thanks for the replies all!
Awesome! I had a guildie run into an issue yesterday not being able to see the Cenarion Circle person next to the portal in the park courtyard in the keep. I suspect this was another quest phasing issue.
I could see the person, and when we partied up we were in different phases. We used party sync to pull them into my phase (I was party lead) and then they could see them and continue on.
