Somehow or other, it appears my world quests were reset. Earlier today, I did a few of the invasion world quests to get the Honorbound emissary done. And of course on Tuesday, I killed the world boss in Nazjatar.
Well, somewhere along the line, all of my world quests vanished. The whole set. Not even world quests on the Broken Isles were showing up. /reload didn’t help. So, I decided to teleport to Dazar’alor to see if that would fix something. It didn’t…at first. then, I saw a few world quests in the city itself. When I next checked my map, all my world quests had been reset, including the Honorbound emissary and the world boss in Nazjatar. Relogging from desktop didn’t do anything; they are well and truly reset.
I’m…not sure what to do now. I feel like I’m taking advantage of something if I turn the emissary in (I did some world quests in Arathi Highlands). Should I let the quests be? Or consider it a blessing and just complete them?
This is probably a safe assumption. Game content cannot be manipulated like that since practically everything is on the server side of things. There was a bug a few weeks ago where emissaries were auto-completing, so it’s possible that it wasn’t fully ironed out and is rearing its head once more with some friends.
I would definitely suggest posting this in the Bug Report forums for QA to take a look, too.

Ok, but I haven’t been able to reproduce the bug, either; my warlock has done the same emissary, though I did that yesterday. It’s also possible that I may not have actually fought the World Boss on this character, though I know I DEFINITELY fought it with my warlock. But I know for certain that I did the emissary by doing the Drustvar invasion, because I remember getting caught in that nasty “stuck in combat” bug that I know has been plaguing WoW since launch and complaining about it in zone chat. Also my neck went up a level from the azerite and I got the boots from the warfront set which I’ve still got in my inventory.
It is ok you cannot reproduce the bug.
Just explain what happened in the bug report forum like you did here. Perhaps give QA a hint to the toon it happened on.
They will take it from there
Just remember, unless they need more info your post, excluding other players, is probably a one way ticket.

My Emissaries reset as well. I’m not sure what caused it.
It appears that entering an invasion portal on Argus triggers a world quest reset. Not just on Argus, but ALL world quests that are available will be reset. Emissaries are all reset as well. I don’t know if this is something you have done leading up to you noticing them being reset, but I noticed it just now.
In addition, the invasions on Argus seem to be bugged. The NPCs didn’t spawn when I entered/the event didn’t start, and I noticed the reset WQs after I’d come back to Argus from the empty invasion point.
Check and make sure that you didn’t accidentally uncheck the filters on your map. I once did something like that and had a similar issue until I figured out what had happened.

The same thing happened to me a few days ago and today happened again.
Face it, game is more bug infested than it’s EVER been… I do the emissaries every day, BUT today I got not one, but 3. FIRST time it ever worked kinda in my favor. Of course, with a capped neck, not much point in doing ANY world content except emissaries that reward gold.
Yeah, my WQ seem to be reset today. Almost didn’t notice because I don’t generally do them on most of my alts, but I definitely did the Ankoan yesterday and Storm Wake two days ago, and they’re back on my main.
Money and rep are where I left off, so… dunno. Did today’s on a Horde character, then switched over to check mail/missions/profession cooldowns. No idea what could trigger this, beyond a system reset on the other end.
I’ve noticed the same problem too, already reported the bug and issued a ticket. All my WQ and Emissary quests reseted, i’ll just do them again but won’t do the bug to reset ever again, not my fault this happened.
And besides, i need to progress my Argus questline to unlock Void Elfs, so i’m pretty much stuck on this part of the questline until they fix the Argus Invasions…
This happened to me as well a few minutes ago. I had been in game on and off today, and completed my emissary this afternoon. Tonight I logged on and all my emissaries were reset on my alliance hunter. World bosses were reset as well, along with world quests. Donations are up for warfront and the dailies here reset as well. I did not go into any portal for Argus invasion or anything. So I’m curious to know why this happened on my end. I also reported the bug in game.

This bug happened to me yesterday. All my world quests and emissaries noticeably reset… Then just a few minutes ago from the time of this post, everything reset AGAIN.
Both times, I noticed the reset sometime after running Heroic Mana Tombs for some Consortium reputation. Either that, or it’s some combination of taking various portals in Stormwind, Broken Isles Dalaran, and Ashran. Or, come to think of it, entering and leaving War Mode to get by the current phasing issues with the Hallow’s End content outside Stormwind might have something to do with it as well.
Since I can’t keep track of what I have and haven’t done by now “legit,” I’m gonna play it safe and play some low level alts until this all blows over.

Thought I would post an update since I sent in a ticket regarding this issue. I got a reply not too long ago from a GM and they are aware of the bug that is randomly resetting emissaries and world quests. They instructed me to avoid repeating anything that was reset until there was a fix.
Not sure what advice to give you all, but I refrained from repeating anything that was reset for me.
what’s a little ridiculous with this is that even if you don’t repeat the specific world quests you did, you’ll automatically end up repeating an emissary cache whether you want to or not. I mean, sure you can choose not to turn in the emissary that second time. I didn’t think it would work and I turned in a second time one of my emissary caches but I did keep the loot trunk once it worked as I expect this is a bad idea. Again, so easy to use this to exploit gear, rep, etc.
I reported it as well, never got a reply. I believe it’s related to the issue with All Hallow’s Eve not showing in Elwynn Forest on Hellscream and a few other realms.
I just thought I was mistaken about having completed the Emissary quest and once I realized they were resetting, I stopped doing world quests until they fix the issues. But yeah, this could so easily be exploited.
I’ve had this happen two days in a row now. I’m not sure what precisely is triggering it, but it seemed to happen when I used my Dalaran Hearthstone. When I went to check whether the emissaries were up for the paragon chests I’m still chasing, all three were empty. When I relogged, everything - Legion and BfA world quests alike - was reset.
EDIT: This also reset my Nazjatar follower daily quests, as well as completion of the world quest for the world boss (though not, as far as I can tell, my loot lockout for said boss).
EDIT2: It’s reasonable to infer that my Mechagon dailies were also reset, but I really don’t want to fly all the way back out there to check.
