Progress bugged

[Dwarjen]

Playing with some friends. all of them are not available at all times so i started a new server with the same character that some of us play on alone to not mess with the server bound progress on the original server.

However when trying to complete the blacksmith quest the ancient spires nothing we do seems to be helping. we cannot complete it. it says we arrived at the location but nothing triggers. Tried to restart.

anyone got any ideas?

Did you go all the way up in the spire?

yupp. had to enter with a new character to make the server progress. Seems like if all chars on a server has completed the quest the quest couldnt be finished. is this true with all quests or was it just a bug?

i have this same exact issue. my buddy who has a server was playing with him while he is off i started my own same character and can't complete the ancient spire quest. it wont progress after reaching the top. i have reinstalled, verified integrity of files and tried redoing it multiple times can't progress

I thought it had been fixed. My friend and I, we play solo on co-op because we are not online at the same time and if one of us complete something, they other can't complete it on the same server. Sometimes we do things together, but then we do it twice, on both our games.

It seems that if you find a fast travel location on a server and then start a new one you cant activate them on the new map .... makes the character kinda locked progress wise to one server. i managed to resolve it by having a character on the server that didnt have it previously unlocked.

A character that has unlocked it on a previous server can then unlock it for the new character.... kinda messy workaround if you ask me

Same problem for me, was in a multiplayer server with friends now I can't progress my local game with that character as the first spire cannot be activated.

They changed quests so they could be repeated on a server, so if player X missed the quest that player Y did, then player X could still start the quest

The quest only stops working when all players on the server have already done the quest.

But the side effect of that, is if a player who has done a quest then tries to do the same quest on there private game, it can bug out.

This seems to only really effect the ancient spires and the Hollow Halls.
The fix is to create a second 'new' toon for your private server/solo game, have it join (and just get to your fire spire) This means ALL quests on your private game are not completed by all players so they now work correctly

Anyway, that worked for me and a few others I know

It also worked for me !

I had the exact same issue, and a friend of mine (With wich I already played on another coop world) created a new character, and came in the world I had the bug with the ancient spire quest.
Then, we went up in the tower again, and when I approached the flame with him (and his new character created on purpose !) I was finally able to trigger the flame and unlock its teleportation ! And finally, completed the quest I was stucked with ! So, really, if you have this problem, this solution seems to be working like a charm ! Creating a new character and do the tower with it along with the character you want the quest to be completed !

My friend is now keeping the new character he created to help me, in case of futures bugs like this...and hoping the devs solve it one day ! ^^

I'm having this issue with the Reach the Capital, Pikemead's Reach, I'm on part 2 of the mission where it says enter the castle and I have multiple times and killed the Wyvern and still no completion... The issue with having a new character is they aren't powerful enough most times to complete certain missions....

Could you meanwhile solve your problem with "Reach the Capital" quest?
If not, maybe I'm able to help with this. I have a level 12 char who has no own world and played exclusively on public servers. This char didn't finish the "Reach the Capital" quest yet, and therefore he should be able to complete this in your world.
