I have the quest to do this but there is nothing showing where that’s at on the map to start it. I found the “raid” portal (which one would think would be at the Gallegio and not one of the multiple obscure, unremarkable doorways into the tiny hotel in the center of the map). Anyways, there’s no option or anything to start or select “Story Mode”. Instead, just the portal that requires a raid group it tells you.
I also tried cancelling the quest but couldn’t get it back whatsoever.
Fortunately, the ol’ noggin’ remembered where Gazlowe was at at the end of the “Undermine revolt” story thing, and went back and he gave it, as he had the shield and “!” icon above him. But that wasn’t showing anywhere on the map. Good thing I remembered. Anyone else would be lost. Had tried logging out/in too which didn’t work, nor did /console reloadui , just FYI.

I believe story mode unlocks on week 2. So you’ll have to wait until next reset.

It’s basically the same thing they did for Ansurek - it’s not the raid as a whole, just the last boss. The direction seems to be pointing to Paks Topskimmer in the Incontinental, but he does not seem to have an option to enter it (yet). Given that the reset is done, I don’t imagine it’s that, but…
Could you be so kind as to remind the rest of us where Gazlowe went? I only see him in the hotel and he’s not talking. (UPDATE: now you can enter by clicking on Paks at the front desk of the hotel!) (UPDATE 2: I got into the raid but now it’s bugged INSIDE so you can’t proceed on the teleporter. Blizzard, for the love of god fix the damn bugs already. What are they DOING?) (OK, there’s a door, I guess the big old teleporter is just decoration. Do I ever feel stupid!)
I thought this was week 2.
Week of March 11: Raid Finder Wing 2: Maniacal Machinist (Sprocketmonger Lockenstock; Stix Bunkjunker), Story Mode
Oh, sorry, Tongmax, didn’t notice the date you posted this.

Anyone know who to talk to. Got the quest but doesn’t really point or mark anyone on the map to start the story mode raid
It should be Gazlowe or Paks but I can’t seem to trigger the option on either.
It’s Paks, when you hover over him, the quest is in the tooltip, but he doesn’t have the option yet.
Just came here to report this as well. Have the quest, hover over Paks and it says to speak to him but he doesn’t have the option. Plus the World Boss in Undermine hasn’t reset either.
Forgive the ignorance but was that not the point of the maintenance earlier? To reset and release story mode?
There is confusion with this one. They said story mode would be available today the 11th. Paks does have a tooltip when you hover over him saying start story mode, but no option to start story mode in his dialog. Not sure if it is a bug, or if it is gated again. I’ll keep an eye here and keep trying.
Yes, but to release content on schedule would require competent programmers. Which history shows, Blizz does not have.
I guess I was too trusting of Blizz devs. I knew that would be my downfall, trying to make logic of anything they do.
The dialog option just became available
