Yesterday 8.3 came out which gave the legendary cloak questline. I did this on alliance with my rogue and got to rank 4 on the cloak. Me and my buddies were planning on faction changing to horde after just in case we would mess up the story lines to start the quest chain. So I faction changed after I got my cloak and completed my quest line all the way and now ( currently horde ) I have to do the whole quest line again, but I can’t do the quest line because you have to do an assault which you can only do every 3 days I believe? Well to sum up my issue, I have no dailies now, Vale of Eternal Blossoms and Uldum are currently unaffected by N’zoth, and I can’t continue the quest line AGAIN because the assault progress bar is not there and killing any mobs in Uldum in the area that the assault takes place does not contribute to my new assault which shouldn’t even be there in the first place. Please help! I don’t want to miss out on my dailies and be behind on the content and cloak!
Same issue:
Torylane, please submit a ticket under “Stuck on Quest”, make sure to note in the description that you recently faction changed and cannot complete the assault. A Game Master may be able to help.
I made my ticket
Ticket ID: US70977978
Thank you!
This also happened to me. Made ticket but wait times are too crazy.
The estimate can certainly fluctuate in wildly different ways, but response times are typically sub-24 hours.
The issue is they stated they hotfixed this in another thread, but they clearly havent
Did they state that it would be retroactively applied, or just from that point going onward? It is generally rather difficult to push the correction through to something that is already affected by what they fixed with this level of complexity.
same issue, faction changed ~4 hours ago and I cannot pass the assault bit, there is no progress bar (I was able to do my dailies)
put in a ticket hoping for the best, I hope I don’t lose a set of dailies in vale or worst have to wait until reset to finish my horrific vision unlock on alliance
Same issue here.
Ticket ID: US70998245
Edit: I am surprised that this possibility was not tested. If a blue reads this can you please add this particular test to every new feature iteration similar to this? (Complete chain, switch faction on same character and make sure that the quest is either retroactively applied or you are able to progress)
You’ll want to post in General Discussion. The Devs and CMs don’t take feedback from the Customer Support forum and the SFAs are not liaisons with them.
This happened to me as well, I was on the step to get to the eternal blossom but i’m stuck on the assault bar. Is there a work around for this or do the people that just payed blizzard for the faction change just going to be behind? Ticket Number: US70997388
Provided you used the Stuck on Quest category for your ticket, a GM will address it as soon as it’s at the front of the queue. Until then, nothing else you can do but sit tight and wait.
Especially when they are going to discount the service before the patch knowing people are going to try to follow their friends after the content drought.
To give you all an update,
I had to wait til I can do the Uldam assault, if you can complete the assault for uldam, you will not be affected by this bug. Blizzard’s response to me is saying that this issue will not be fixed because due to the reset of all quest line progress, this is completely natural. When you completely finish the quest, you will not be awarded a second cloak, you will be rewarded 70g instead. For the coalescing essence, you will be able to get all that was originally earned before again.
To sum this up, if you faction change after you do the Uldam assault, you will not be able to do your visions or all of the dailies until the Uldam assault resets. The Vale assault is perfectly fine because you do not have to do the actual assault, you just have to kill the final boss.
Hope this helped you all out!
Thank you for the update, Torylane.
how did you guys continue on with the corrupting cores storyline? I cant progress as I cant use corruptiung cores on a rank 5 to 6 cloak and i cant delete them either.
same issue. currently have a ticket open
I appreciate the response, but opening a ticket in game solved nothing, so whats the point in suggesting it in the forums?. I opened a ticket with this issue and got the response of and quote:
None of the BfA storyline quests are cross-faction, if you change your character’s faction you will need to do all story quests over again. If you feel like this system should be changed, the best avenue for that feedback is on the game’s forums:
https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/
I hope this addresses all the concerns you had today. Please let us know if there is anything else that we can assist with!
As a side note, you will get all the rewards you got the first time through the quest, so if it’s already been a few days, you might as well just wait it out, since the quest rewards should make up for the loss in the ability to do the dailies, well… aside from the rep.
It was suggested four days ago, because at that time it was the only course of action that could be taken, and honestly sounds like it is still the only course after the hotfix.
If you’re adding more information in your ticket than something to the effect of “faction changed after doing the 8.3 quest line, can’t complete assault again” you may get conflicting information.
