The bug is basically, you turn in “Mea Culpa, Lord Valthalak” to lord Valthalak spirit, removing Lord Valthalak’s Amulet" from your inventory, and then you pick up the next quest “Return to Bodley”. HOWEVER, if someone pick ups the “Return to Bodley” quest, he despawns. And now, you can no longer summon the spirit to pick up the quest, because you don’t have the amulet. It seems now that the only option is to brick someone else’s quest chain as well.
Customer support told me they can’t do anything, and to report a bug. Of course I find plenty of posts about this quest with thousand of views. Literally bis gear locked behind a bug, like should I just re roll? What a joke, ngl its pretty much killed my desire to play.
rofl there is one part of the .5 quest (not sure if it’s the same on horde tbh) that requires you to time Undead Strat. we did it ezpz, but the ONE guy that my friends and I picked up to pug with us apparently talked to the ghost dude in the little church building and upon killing Baron Rivendare, she left her cage and the quest bugged out and she was standing there asking if we found Ysida alive.
this quest has been bugged since OG VANILLA. IT WAS BUGGED IN CLASSIC 2019. IT IS BUGGED IN SOD.
this killed my desire to play the rest of P4 (retail xpac was coming out around the time I did this). P5 hype for me was killed by the thoughtless AB/WSG mark changes that resulted in a game throwing meta.
the devs have done SOME cool things, but overall they have done a pretty bad job
