Trying to complete the quest Cities in Dust in Silverpine Forest took 10+ attempts. You are supposed to follow Sylvanas twice until you get to the Greymane Wall. While in a group, we all kept getting ‘Cities in Dust Failed’ at random points along the first walking section. Even though we were separately phased, i think the programming still detected us as ‘out of range’ of her and failed us.
To work around this, we all ungrouped and dropped/restarted the quest. It still failed multiple times, but when we ‘staggered’ taking the quest, we were allowed to progress. i.e. Even though we were ungrouped, solo players, we could not do the quest while another player was on that section.
Finally, when we did make it to the destination where the conversation/battle appears, we still saw other people’s conversations, even when in different phasing/instances.

If you are here reading this post about this glitched quest. Give this a try. As you ride along with Sylvanas you will cross a road and she will stop. immediately, if not just right at the road, dismount. She will babble on. As soon as she says "To the Greymane Wall!.. " mount and continue riding along with her. When you get to the four big puddles of water, as your passing through the last puddle, dismount. I stayed at pace with her as if I was riding a mount until she stops. The quest completed without error after that.

I had to do this quest 4 or 5 times to get it to work. I was able to keep up with Sylvanas while unmounted. When the quest is active you can run at the correct speed to keep up with her. You need to stay RIGHT with her both times she moves. Then you need to stand right inside her when she is talking to the Worgen. I was able to complete the quest this way.
Trying to complete this quest as well. Tried all the above suggestions, nothing works. Already failed 19 times. Don’t know what else to do…

Quest is still having a problem. My friend and I did all the suggested things…eventually it worked for me. But not for my friend. He still can’t get it done. We’ll keep trying tho.
I have tried all of these suggestions and it has taken me over twenty attempts to STILL NOT complete this quest over two days! Not only have I tried to complete it mounted and dismounted, I can not get any further than a FEW STEPS before it tells me I failed! Even logging off and back on, still has not worked… I am honestly stuck on what to do!!!

After much analysis, the blue ring around Lady Sylvanas is what you need to stay within. If you move outside of this ring- you will fail the mission! Super tricky, I still haven’t completed it as she constantly starts and stops. Keep posted on my Twitch if you want to watch me get super frustrated completing this quest @crashbetsycoot
Can confirm what Betsycoot said, the blue ring is what you need to keep to. Did the quest while unmounted. If you stay inside Sylvanas while receiving the quest she should cast a movement speed buff to you allowing to keep her pace.

i just managed to complete the quest, after failing a ton of times i tryed standing a few feets in front of silvanas when she stands and yell to the wargens, then continued to stay inside silvanas character ring and worked like a charm, i don’t know if it was pure luck or thats how you are supposed to do it, but try standing a few feets in front of her when she talks, not too far or you will fail the quest. also you need to dismount or godfrey won’t turn hostile for some strange reason… such a bugged quest

When I said I wanted to be inside Sylvanas this isn’t what I had in mind.

Hahahahaha this is brilliant!
I’ve been stuck on this quest for 4 days now. Tried mounted, not mounted, in front of sylvanus, behind sylvanus, inside sylvanus but can’t get past that first ‘pit’. As soon as she hits the edge everyone else disappears then she fades out to reappear at point as the quest giver again. Urrrgh!!!
I just tried it for the 6th time. I did it dismounted, everything seemed fine. Got all the way to the wall. I was standing right next to Sylvanas, watching Crowley approach when, BAM!, FAILED. Out of nowhere! I’m at the point where I am, literally, beating my head on my desk out of frustration.
Is this going to get fixed Blizzard?

A month later and this is still broken. I have done this quest a few times in the past and never has this been an issue. How is old sh*! getting broken?? Got all the way to the wall, waited for the RP then, oh look, FAILED.
Movement speed boost tip works, thanks for posting! =)
I can verify that it is still broken as of 1:20 pm EST on 1/18/19. Shame you can’t do this quest as it was meant to be.
Finally managed to do it. Just stayed in her blue circle and when I got to the point where she speaks to the Worgen, I didn’t move at all, just stayed inside her. Even during the combat sequence, I just stayed put and it worked.
Ok here. Accept and do the quest unmounted. You will receive the speed bust “Song of Sylvanas”. When the Crowley approach, stay in front of Sylvanas. As a priest I just stayed in middle distance.
This is an issue for me, ran into it today and been fighting it all night. I don’t really want to miss content that I’m paying for…
