The red target markers that indicate the active torch target braziers associated with the Torch Tossing game at the Midsummer Fire Festival event in Stormwind are not aligned with the actual torch targets. It looks like the braziers were moved from their old locations but the code that marked the active target you need to hit was not moved.
In my case it was the More Torch Tossing quest, but I assume it also affects the first time quest to teach you the game. You are only able to complete this quest/game by trying to aim where the targets seem to be and hoping you estimated close enough to hit them.

Same issue for me on Shattered Hand.

Also having this issue - the red arrows are hovering over nothing.

Add me to the list of people seeing this bug, you can try to hit the arrows in the old location but it is very hard to target correctly so the event is basically undoable.

Why did you copy my post word for word instead of just adding a comment in that post to indicate you were having the same problem?

Bleeding developers so quick they can’t even manage an event that has been in the game for 18 years. Can Bobby’s 5th yacht be put on hold so we can have a working quest?

Same issue, doable by guessing where the target is based on the indicator.
Any one tested Ironforge to see if they’re correct there?
Same problem here. Managed to finish it by chaining the camera angle and watching the icons.
Ironforge is fine, it just seems like Stormwind is bugged.
It really isn’t that hard to aim for the old spots. I have been completing the quest that way. However, if you cannot, just pop over to Ironforge, Darnassus, or the Exodar. Things are okay there.
That’s debatable. For a lot of people the misalignment of the braziers and where you’re actually supposed to throw the torches makes the quest nigh impossible in Stormwind.
Unsurprising that the addition of the Trading Post here would interfere with the placement of the Midsummer Fire Festival.
I’m guessing that probably this issue isn’t going to be fixed until they do the next refresh of this holiday event.
Still an issue for me on Dalaran realm Stormwind.
This is one achievement I’m never going to get. A few years ago I managed the first torch tossing quest but couldn’t manage juggling. Now I can’t even do that. I have a better computer than then but the cooldown of the torch takes longer than the targets last and even if I hit the target the minute it appears it’s gone before the torch gets there. Add to that old hands that have less mobility than they used to and this whole quest chain is impossible for me.
What’s kind of sad… First thought when I saw there was a new toy for the fire festival was… “Oh, I bet they added some bugs putting in the trading post.”
Honestly, expected it to be worse.
