Hey, folks. I’m a fairly new player; came in right on the tail end of BFA. Friends roped me into playing Alliance characters until post pre-patch, and now I’ve been leveling Horde characters and unlocking allied races for the first time. In doing so, I’m running into what strikes me as a really weird problem. I can’t apparently access the new version of Tirisfal Glades or see the destroyed version of Undercity. It’s like it’s stuck in pre-Battle for Lordaeron mode.
My current best guess is that it has something to do with the fact that the allied races don’t go through Exile’s Reach. So far I’ve started a pandaren (leveled through the MoP starting zone), a DH (leveled through their starting experience), a Highmountain tauren, a Mag’har, and a vulpera. But here’s what I do know:
-
It’s not just getting to level 50. Both the Highmountain tauren and the Mag’har are level 50, and thus can’t get into timewalking/Chromie time anymore. Talking to Chromie just triggers the “They need your help in Icecrown” dialogue.
-
Using Chromie to return to the “present” timeline doesn’t fix it. Tried that on the DH, since she’s not 50 yet and still has access to that option.
-
Playing the Battle for Lordaeron scenario doesn’t fix it. I thought maybe you had to do that first, so I went and hunted down the archivist, played through it, nada.
-
All of the Alliance characters who have existed since before the pre-patch see the new version of the Tirisfal Glades map.
-
Just to see if it had something to do with progressing the storyline around Magni and the Heart, I went and unlocked that on the Highmountain tauren. No dice, Tirisfal is still the old Cataclysm version.
-
The Highmountain tauren is pretty deep into BFA content, has made progress into the War Campaign, etc. I’m not sure what else to advance that might trigger it.
-
It’s a consistent problem with all of the Horde characters I have thus far, and all of them were created after the pre-patch landed.
I’ve been hunting around all over the internet and haven’t been able to find an answer yet. The only mentions of anything similar I’ve been able to find were in reference to finding Zidormi and changing the post-BFA version back to the un-destroyed version. I’m trying to go the opposite direction, and there is no Zidormi in Tirisfal Glades for me. I can’t even find a reference to anyone having a similar problem.
Am I missing something? Did I forget to do something? Or is this a “lolwut submit a support ticket” situation? Has anybody else encountered this?
