The quest was not a requirement to enter overcharged delves, use the Titan console, or redeem shards. I completed the console and got all the powers before discovering the quest.
Titan disc shards no longer drop after completing the console, so it is impossible to complete the quest which requires you to collect 50 shards. This means I cannot collect the belt. This breaks the entire patch and potentially the upcoming season 3 without getting the belt.
You need to fix it so that shards drop until the quest AND the console is completed, otherwise it breaks a whole lot of things with the patch.
I can confirm that this also breaks alts
I abandoned the quest on an alt, picked it back up, and it says I have completed the requirements, but won’t let me click continue to turn it in since the shards aren’t iny inventory.
UPDATE:
This continues to be broken for my whole account. Customer service continually closes tickets saying try have no communication with developers, and they can take no action, nor can they bring this to developers.
I’m likely the only person in this situation, and have not gotten any development attention to either of my threads on the issue. There is no possibility of remediation on my own, and cannot participate in the patch content without developer intervention.
Just roll back my account to before the patch and allow me to complete the content again in the correct order allowing me to fix the issue created by the quest not being enabled in the console when the patch went live, this creating this issue in the first place.
UPDATE2: After weeks of dealing with “customer service” just closing the tickets, and telling me they have no lines of communication with the developers, and updating this ticket each week, they have turned back on the ability to again get shards to drop, and complete the quest chain.
