Dialogues missing in Shadowlands and BFA (text and spoken)

Wowpedia usually has all the dialogue in the articles for each quest.

I’ve been having the same issue as well, for a couple of weeks now. Just tested a quest that malfunctioned by abandoning it, disabling all addons, and restarting it - same bug. It’s sporadic too - some quests are fine, but most are missing part of the dialogue. I’ve done a bug report twice. It’s beyond disappointing to see that this has been reported since August and there’s been no reply on the matter. Really ruins the questing experience, and makes me worry that the same thing will be occurring in Dragonflight…

Same issue. It’s been weeks and weeks of this.

We’re heading to 3 months of this bug persisting. Unbelievable such a major bug remains unaddressed.

I was really excited - returning to retail, leveling up a new character to get ready for the new expansion.
And trying to catch up on the story is just
Heartbreaking, honestly.
I just want to be able to experience the story and play the game properly…

Well, I just processed my refund for Dragonflight. I bought the epic bla bla bla package. At least they gave me my money back. I’ll check back occasionally to check and see if this issue is ever fixed, but honestly i’m going to try classic out. seems like people actually play that version. Kudos to Blizzard for refunding my purchase. At least they seem to be good at that.

Myself and several friends are also having this issue. Dialogue will not happen randomly for one or all of us, making it hard to tell if we are done with a quest or not. It happens literally all over the game, mostly noticed in Shadowlands, it has definitely happened to me in BfA zones and Legion zones.

It’s not rare either, maybe 1 out of 4 dialogues don’t work for me.

Same here, i saw these bugs several times in either Shadowland and BfA.
Seriously Blizzard, are you considering that story quests are not important enough to fix thes bugs?

Just posting here to confirm that I have been having this issue for what seems like months. Is this happening in the DF beta?

Lüneth-moon-guard · October 24, 2022, 1:06pm

It will be extremely concerning if nothing if fixed with the prepatch.

Bhagirath-wyrmrest-accord · October 24, 2022, 4:48pm

I just started encountering this last night after a few weeks of returning. It absolutely sucks. Doing the 9.1 campaign right now to catch up on story before the expansion hits next month and the silence is jarring.

Emund-illidan · October 24, 2022, 6:55pm

Oh man this really lasted all the way up until the day before pre-patch

If this carries forward, who knows, maybe Dragonflight and on it’s intended that our characters have gone from commander to champion to maw walker to having some lapses in our memory when NPCs talk to or around us?

Albricksen-zangarmarsh · October 25, 2022, 9:43am

I’m already half-expecting the bug to somehow still persist on Retail despite not happening on test servers. If it does continue to persist after patch release, hopefully they don’t wait until 10.0.2 or even 10.1 or later to fix it.

Selesnya-maladath · October 25, 2022, 10:20am

It will be disastrous for Blizzard if this bug persists during DF launch. The entire population of WoW will notice right off the bat and there will be a huge general complaint about it. This bug already have a big enough traction to it, imagine if it persists on the xpac launch.

It is on Blizzard’s best interest to fix it NOW.

Mansynn-alterac-mountains · October 25, 2022, 11:56am

I think with SL going to Chromie time and the fact that dialogue was working in PTR, it has to be fixed today, right? Let me know guys, I will be at work at reset.

Visasz-caelestrasz · October 25, 2022, 10:42pm

Is it fixed guys? I unsubbed because of this and don’t want to sub again unless it’s confirmed to be fixed.

Nelmeww-wyrmrest-accord · October 25, 2022, 10:58pm

Well I can tell you I refunded Dragonflight and I’ll never be going back to the game. I can’t believe they still haven’t even bothered to fix this

Mansynn-alterac-mountains · October 25, 2022, 11:01pm

They really didn’t fix it?

Selesnya-maladath · October 26, 2022, 12:57am

Holy sh*t, can’t believe they didn’t bother fixing it when it was fixed in plain sight on PTR for them. Well…let’s just wait the storm once they release DragonFlight with this bug in it. Blizzard will deserve every single rage thrown at them.

Can someone else confirm that it’s still not fixed?

Mansynn-alterac-mountains · October 26, 2022, 1:02am

How would people know? It is my understanding that maintenance has been delayed again.
