I cant start BFA

Honestly its a waste of money having people respond with templates might as well get automated responses from an AI. Why pay them when it can go into a higher quality product. Rather have that than get some response thats from a template which is useless.

**edit-edit
This is now listed as a known issue under In-game issues.

**edit - I’ve remade one of the characters who was able to get the quest to go to BFA 4 times now, repeating the same actions and the quest wasn’t available at any point. This is looking less like it has to do with the players or their actions, though I could of course be missing something.

I have two allied races at level 10 in BFA who picked up the quest from the guard next to the quest board, and were quickly guided to the expansion.

I have one other allied races at level 10 who didn’t have a quest waiting at the guard for BFA and can’t get it anywhere. All 3 characters were started in the last two days.

There’s isn’t any significant difference between the characters actions after creation. For the allied races you get a quest to check the job board, run up the hill and the guard is right there with or without the quest. That’s it. This definitely seems like a bug that’s happening outside the realm of player choices.

I made a new Demonhunter and leveled her in legion. I hit level 50 thought I’d go to BFA to start gearing her, and getting her rdy for Shadowlands. And she’s having same issue no one in Stormwind to give the BFA starting quest. Only person in the throne room in Stormwind keep is Anduin and he doesn’t say anything at all. When I go back to Chromie she doesn’t say anything either. I’m on Area 52 alliance side. Like others on here all I can do in Boralus is get WQ’s and do the Scrap quest. Nothing else

Yep same problem as everyone else. On my allied races I can’t get into BFA but on a character I took through Exile’s Reach he had no problems since the breadcrumb from Exile’s Reach took me straight into the intro.

this is irritating luckily I can level my warrior. I just don’t get how blizz can mess this up I’m scared to see what happens when sl finally comes out I’m having the same problems and tickets didn’t do anything for me.

Neither of the above suggested issues fix the problem. I have tested it on multiple characters. On my level 50 druid who has done BFA already, I have the quest “An Unwelcome Advisor” which requires me to speak to Anduin. When I go to the keep on that character, I am able to see and interact with Anduin. On any other character, I only see Turalyon if anyone is there at all. This leads me to believe this is a phasing issue that was introduced when the pre-expansion patch was introduced. It seems that either a “Battle for Azeroth” timeline is needed with Chromie to be able to access the pre-patch content, or something needs to change with the phasing.

Same issue. I passed Battle of Lordaeron since I’d done it - then never got the “A Dying World Quest”. So I leveled to 50 instead in Legion. Upon hitting 50, it kicked me out of the Chromie thing, then I got the “A Dying World” quest. However, Magni no longer gives the “Speaker’s Imperative Quest” (so I read on WoWhead) - so there is no way to start the general questline into BfA. I have the necklace but there’s no way to do warfronts or the war campaign.

i have new account, made a Worgen Hunter and could go to BFA. Then, same day, created a DH, completed the starting area and then in SW, no way to begin BFA.

Exactly the same problem here, but with a lvl 20 DH.

I hit level 50 with my mechagnome warlock and I still got nothing. I got my heart of azeroth quest then after that I theres no quest to continue. Only world quests are available so I cant even do things like go to zuldazar or nazjatar because the quests to travel out there dont exist for this character.

I have a level 10 Human Rogue. Did the new start area (Exile) and arrived in SW at Level 10. No BFA breadcrumb quest. The only quest in the keep is to go to Pandaria, why Pandaria? I then go see Chromie as I read that you might be able to timewalk to another exp then come back to current day. Did that - doesnt work. I cannot see or access the quest “The Nation of Kul Tiras” which I believe is what is required. A broken pre patch that should also have been delayed.

So I solved my issue with this by doing the “Stormwind Extraction” quest from Nathanos in Org. As soon as I did that scenario, I ended up in Zandalar etc. Maybe it will help some of you. Good luck!

for alliance u can only get the bfa start quest if u di exile’s reach and dont skip the stormwind your any other character race regardless what level cant acces bfa u can take boat but will have nothing to do there

Alliance players have no such quest. We’re supposed to get the quest to start BfA from the guard by the heroes call board. But he doesn’t offer anything. It’s seems to be they screwed up the game when they removed Anduin. They didn’t set up phasing correctly and any quest that needs Anduin in the keep is broken.

and if blizz rlly knew about this and knew about this insane ammount fo threads and forum post about this they would have taken this ase a priority since this is a major bug wich makes alot of poeple unable to play the game, yes i know u can level in old expansion but thats not the point this is about making one entire expansion unplayable for alts and pro alot of poeple their mains to cause yes u can lvl to 50 in outland or cat or panda but than after that u cant play endgame content farm endgame gear do mythic+ normal mythic u cant get the cloack if u still wanna run visions most content is locked… poeple cant go for pathfinders if they stil want and there is a bunch of more stuff poeple cant play now

yeah ahh well as i mentioned to others as well blizzard is not gonna implement a hotfix for 1 issue they ened a listof fixes first and when there is enough fixes ready then they implement a hotfix… cause making a whole entire expansion unplayabe is in their eyes just a simple bug and not a big deal so yea if we are lucky this will be fixed on wednesday if we are lucky, deff not earlier than that.

I’ve had the same issue on my low lvl priest, she’s 45 now but i have yet to get the “auto quest” to start BFA content. Decided to say screw it and went to Legion to start trying to get gear there.
Strangely enough i have BFA unlocked for a newly made LFD. I think it’s a bug that toons that we’re in it before are good, toons that weren’t get screwed and new toons are able to do it. Just find it messed up cause i don’t want to waste my time on getting the shards when they can’t do anything for me rn. I believe someone mentioned that for older not high enough lvl toons that you had to have a certain ilvl to start BFA…but that doesn’t make sense when my LFD gets it out the gate :thinking:

nope new toons are not able to get it i tryed it multiple times maded 5 new allied races 5 new normal classes none of them get it, also u dont need a certain item level neither cause cause its lvl 10-50 and 2 days ago i got it on 4 of my freshly started allied races on lvl 10 all provided with the tides of war quest form the guard next to the command board, also alot of poeple tryed alot of different ways and nothing worked out so its simply just gona for everyone regardless of what… hopefully the scheduled maintenance on wednesday will fix it… so if u managed to get it today on a fresh LFD ur rlly rlly lucky than ;p
