I finished leveling an existing character after pre-patch from level 14 to 50 using WoD and Legion timewalking. Upon reaching 50, I got my Heart of Azeroth, took the portal to Boralus and finished the Nazjatar intro to level the neck to 50. Most of endgame seems to now be entirely broken on this character. The issues below are all experienced with no add ons installed.
Silithus Boralus Portal Disappeared
After finishing the Heart Forge quest line, the portal in Silithus back to Boralus disappeared. The portal from Boralus to Silithus still exists but the only way to leave now is with a hearthstone or flying.
8.3 cloak quest line is broken
I’m unable to complete “An Unwelcome Advisor” to start the cloak quest line because Anduin has been replaced in Stormwind Keep by Turalyon. I’ve tried dropping all quests, but there doesn’t appear to be a way to phase to the “correct timeline”. Chromie doesn’t have any options to try to correct this.
War Campaign intro broken
After completing Nazjatar’s intro, I tried to find the war campaign quests on the ship in Boralus but they’re unavailable. I was able to find “Tides of War” in Stormwind after searching (It’s weird this is still available after I’ve completed 8.2 content). When starting this quest, Anduin was again unavailable where marked on the map. After dropping all quests, I was able to get him to spawn in the side room but the process was extremely unintuitive.
Nazjatar Daily quest line broken
After being unable to complete the two quest lines above, I went back to Nazjatar to unlock daily quests. The intro quest to unlock the Waveblade Ankoan allies is also broken. When completing “Rescue the Farseer”, Farseer Ori doesn’t appear next to the camp fire for turn in. He spawns roughly 10m over the ledge kneeling facing a wall and can’t be interacted with. I’ve tried dropping the quest, recompleting, leaving the zone, without success. The NPC will consistently spawn in the wrong area without any interaction options.
I’d normally file these as bugs and move on, but the majority of content from 8.1 on wards is unplayable on this character. I filed a ticket to try to get the character fixed and received an automated response telling me to turn off add ons and go read quest help on WoWhead if I’m still stuck.
The reply is surprisingly dismissive and kind of wild that it took half a day for an automated system to reply. It’s totally understandable GM resources are currently limited and that bugs can’t be immediately addressed, but I would expect a blue post or some address on the majority of current game content being broken for new alliance characters.
