Found a solution finally. I had to complete the entire opening of Legion.
Original Post:
On a new toon, lvl.13.
I had just finished all the mulgore quests and had accepted the quest from the war cryer in thunder bluff. I have 2 quests to turn in at the central hold, one for sylvannas, one for saurfang.
I go in, in game cinematic triggers, quest step becomes “meet the team” but I’m hoping to turn in Saurfang’s quest from thunderbluff, and can’t find him. I figure the BFA quest is screwing things up, so I abandon it, go and turn it in, and then go and try to get it back.
only problem, the warcrier no longer offers it. No problem, let’s go to chromie! I go to chromie. Set myself first to dragonflight, then to battle for azeroth, I go back to the warcrier, nothing. No quest. But my map has the Call to War quest marked on it in a big flashy marker, only, it’s not on the minimap.
I call in a friend on their toon, they get the quest, and I’m immediately dephased with them. They sync our party. I remain dephased.
I go to wowhead, I follow the guide, it says to fix this, go to zuldazar via portal. Cool. I go there, portal isn’t interactive. I take the boat instead, at least that works. Nathalos isn’t on the docks when I get back, so no quest.
I’m effectively entirely locked out of BFA on this character for some reason?
I can’t even contact a GM directly to ask them to fix this nonsense. What the heck are you guys doing?
