Now I'm on the mainland I'm kind of able to follow the primary quests but there are absolutely zero side quests.

The plus side at least is I'm doing an awful lot of exploring... but starting off a game by exploring first is zzzzzzzzz. can you stay on topic? the issue was people got stuck with no primary quest after the cemetery mission.

So is it fixed now?

Yes, it's fixed. Dockmaster Ahlaro gives you your next primary quest.



This takes you to Elder Suhl, and you can continue.

Thanks a-net, you only kept us waiting for over 16 hours, about 4 to 5 hours after a new game has gone live - after a lot of alpha and beta testing I may presume - to fix a critical bug that got undoubtly tens of thousands of people stuck, after waiting for 6 months for a decent game since Factions was rather bleh, having us all be up at 3... 2am eager to play the game. Pretty special.

Also, the content was all there since all was fine for Elona born characters, so all that had to be fixed was a trigger to make a quest appear. Applause.

Done ranting, bring it a-net fanboys. *takes cover*

Done ranting, bring it a-net fanboys. *takes cover* I understand your rage, but remember: they are only people.
people make mistakes.
And to presume alpha testing would find the bug, is a long shot: the bug was with Tyrian chars only I believe.
To presume beta testing would find it: the beta open events didn't cover this.

Just to place things in perspective.

Thanks ArenaNet
I think you responded pretty quickly.
I still remember having to wait weeks for a bug in a Oblivion which
prevented me from continueing to be fixed, so yeah, I think they did it
pretty fast.

Tnx a lot for the quick response and the new build. 14 hours as people state above looks like a long time when your playing the game. But developing a game like Nightfall takes about 1 year. I think 14 hours are very fast for finding the excact problem, reprogramming the game, testing the new build and putting the build online..

My guildies and I are stuck as well with our Tyrian characters....

We have done the first mission and then Consulate Docks....

The only quests we have been able to receive are the primaries that lead us to the mainland and forward. No side quests. No Istan primaries after Command Training.

We want to complete Istan, but Jokanur Diggings won't start (Digmaster says we are not high enough Sunspear level, but we are all Commanders now). We assume it is because we haven't been able to do any of the primaries.

Can ANYONE help here? Granted we can get deeper in the game....but we would like to actually be able to do missions on Istan and side quests in general.

Go far East - and talk to Historian Laharo

he will warp you to Chahbek Village mission outpost,
where you can do 1st mission

Then we got to the Diggings....and now we cannot proceed.

Does that make sense?

not sure what to say...

as a lvl 20 Tyrian (who already did 1st mission and 4rth mission)

I confirmed that I can do both missions for
- Jokanur Diggings
- Blacktide Den

I entered with no one else but me and my heroes


I only had 345 Sunspear points (Rank4 - 1st spear)


on a sidenote,
Elonians cannot get access to Blacktide Den without doing 2nd mission 1st
- Tyrians apparently dont have that restriction

just took my Tyrian ranger over to Jokanur Diggings
- no issues for her either

she can enter the 2nd mission and she doesnt have the 1st mission outpost

she has rank of Sunspear General (5000+ points)

Well I've got a pretty bad problem too.

I HAVE done the quest that the dockmaster gives you, and whenever i talk to him he sends to the inlet. After that quest and a few more, THEN i ran out of primary quests. I havent had any primaries for 2 days and i'm getting extremely impatient.

Assuming you are on Mainland and have done the quest called Hunted

goto Command Post (its next to Sunspear sanctuary)
and talk to Dunkoro

keep visiting the Command Post,
Dunkoro and Koss will keep giving you *new* quests

after you have 2500 Sunspear points - you continue with Primary mission

my Tyrian character didnt grind for Sunspear points
- I found plenty of side quests (most came from the Command Post)

I have the same problem. I have completed ALL the primaries, secondary quests and have run around for hours looking for other ones. I also completed Cemetery and Kodunur. Went back to the docks and he just sends me to Dajkah Inklet. I am a paragon (don't know if that matters) and have achieved General status. If someone knows what I or anet is doing wrong please let me know.

ANother thing I have noticed is my guildies say Pogahn Passage is a mission yet on my world map it shows up as non mission just a regular town. There is no guy in there to speak to for the mission.

I have the same problem.

I've finished all quests and missions available and yet I can't proceed. I did not recieve a new hero after mysterious messages. I selected "to kill a demon" but I have no direction indicator and no destination star on the map.

I tried talking to dockmaster Ahlaro as per instructions but he just sends me to Dajkah inlet for the cooperative challenge mission. So I repeated the challenge mission, got a green drop and still no love. No new quests missions or heros

I'm pissed off I've been sitting Idle for days now waiting for a resolution.

I hear there are 20 missions in this game and yet I can only access 3.

Heres a tip for A-net support staff: Buy a copy of your game. Level up until you can get to Poghan passage. Listen to all the people who are stumped. Then find the problem and fix it.

Ive completed Pogahn Passage twice - as recently as today
(both as Tyrian and Elonian)

it is *not* a mission town until after you have to make a choice between Magrid (ranger) and Whispers (necro) as a Hero

when I did it, Magrid was required as a Hero

did you talk to Whispers after you chose the Quest?

if not - go back outside north of Sunspear Sanctuary where you 1st got the quest, Whispers may still be there

(I always choose Magrid - so I cant help much)

for the people that cannot proceed beyond the Cemetery,
sounds like there is bug

after you do venta cemetary, there should be a dock person who has a quest and should be right in front of you when you reach kamadan, you then go to the consulate and report your findings, afterwards theres a quest back at the santuary.

Okay here is the deal I found my fix. Got whispers quest (which was out of the way). If I hadn't decided to run around outside of towns for no apparent reason I wouldn't have found it. You go out the SE exit of Kodunur and head west picking up whispers quest. To be honest I think ALL primary quests should be in towns.

If you took Whispers; you have to do the Rilohn Refuge mission. Pogahn is for those that chose Magrid.

Ok I really need help here lol !

My char is from Tyria.

I did *EVERY* primaries & subquests I found (which means those in towns/outposts *AND* those given by NPCs outside after a short dialogue).

I've : Consulate Docks, Chahbek Village, Jokanur Diggins, Konodur Crossroads and Venta Cemetery.

Now I don't have any more quest to do. The dock guy is quiet (only takes me to the Challenge Mission).

I'm Sunspear Castellan (rank 8) so I can't have blessings anymore.

Since I'm Lightbringer (1), Whispers Informants want me to go to the Chantry of Secrets (of course, I can't). I can't reach either Moddok Crevice.

I have 6 heroes : Olias, Koss, Dunkoro, Melonni, Zhed and Thalkora.

Can anyone plz at least tell me that I'm no longer alone in that case xD

- should have the quest Mysterious Message for you
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Mysteri...28Nightfall%29

where you have to make a choice between Magrid and Whispers

its possible you already did that quest and chose Whispers
(which seems to hang up people)

if so, you need to go find Whispers outside the Sanctuary to continue

I'm double posting because its related to both threads


the questline, "mysterious message", is kinda poor

After you choose Magrid or Whispers, you have to do their sidequest

after you finish their sidequest, you need to talk to them (to advance)
-- they are next to you but it can be overlooked and you may leave the area without talking to Magrid/Whispers


this is why people have nothing showing them "where to go next" sometimes


go Find Magrid or Whispers (outside Sunspear Sanctuary where you left them) to continue the story and you will be all set

Magrid is Marga Coast
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/For_a_Price


Whispers is Jahai Bluff
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Secrets_in_the_Shadow

thats where you should be able to find them if you already did their sidequest


If you cant find them,
my advice is go with someone who has the primary quest "mysterious message" - so they will both appear

NOTE TO ANET:
these 2 npcs really belong at The Command Post after you finish their sidequest, so people can readily find them to continue

OMG T_T I love you Ninna !!!

I was wondering if I did any of those quests, and reading Secrets In The Shadow made me remember about it, so I went into Dejarin Estate to the last location of the quest (hopefully I did remember where it was ) and tadaaa : Master Of Whispers still waits for me, with a big, shinny [!] above his lovely head ^^ I'm so happy !!

well done ANET for making such a pigs ear out of finding the quests.

ive studied your post Ninna but it isnt doing nothing to help my case and im getting bloody annoyed with the game now.

i've done five coops now up to cemetary + as far as i know all quests.
I cant do pogahn/kondonur or nundu, noone in the towns give me anything.
i went back and found whisperer in jahal bluff but he gives nowt.
As for magrid...i cant find that dckhead anywhere...in no town or in marga coast?

rilohn refuge is as far as i can get but theres nothing there to get ....so now im stuck!

pulling my hair out time!!!!!!!

Hello fellow betrayed.

If you are stuck with no primary quest after the branching quest ( "No me no Kormir" or "To kill a demon"), then I have your solution.

Despite what Andrew Patrick and Gayle grey say there is a bug...

and it is not fixed!

You must go find and talk to either "Margrid the sly" or "Master of Whispers" to continue on your chosen quest path. Be sure to find the one who's path you chose.

But it's not easy. Whispers isn't in the same place you last saw him =/

I'm uncertain exactly where Whispers is since i only found him after running the whole map late last night(this morning), and Immediately shut down GW for a few hours sleep. I believe he was in the Marga Coast, just outside Yohlon Haven.

Please correct me if I'm wrong and you know his location.

Perhaps Margrid(sometimes mis-spelled Magrid ^^) is in the same place though since I didn't chose her path I don't really know.

I hope this helps you out if your still stuck.



Rant below, no need to read unless your as angry as I.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------



It's so Ironic that A-Net's paid representatives can't even bother to post a solution to this problem. I don't really expect them to support third party forums but they took it upon themselves when posting mis-information in this very thread.

BTW last I checked and there was no info in NCsoft's QA

Even if there were It would be hard to find as they're so called Technical support forum is a piece of $#!+

My old Strikeforce clan had a better forum (the vet's lounge) and it had no funding $0.0

I mean NCsoft or A-net could have an e-mail address for bug reports but that would be too easy. Hell, I've got my own SMTP mail server and I'm no game dev.

Instead if one desires to report a bug that should have been discovered in alpha one must create a NEW account just for that purpose!!!

ZOMG!! WTF?? is it any wonder NCsoft doesn't know whats wrong with their game? Why would anyone bother jumping through those hoops?

I won't even begin on the "skill balancing" (nerfing skills that were never properly tested to begin with), the endless grinding for items, gold and sunspear points, or the lame PVP game. I don't think I could fit it all in one post.

What I find most offensive though is the new User license agreement that is BTW Illegal and unenforceable. I paid cash for my copy of Guildwars Prophecies. I own it. Same with Factions. Now I'm blackmailed into consenting to a new user license agreement which states that I have only the privlige of playing GW at their discretion, subject to arbitrary change. All this because I paid more money for Nightfall, more the fool I.

This game has so much potential that will never be realised due to the callous disregard shown for the needs and desires of end consumers. If I ran my business as did they I wouldnt be able to afford to buy Nightfall.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

End Rant


Thanks Bread Fan, I wish I'd found your post before running the map in blind desperation =/

Maybe Anet or NCsoft should offer you a job or at least mirror your comments on their website...

To set the record straight whisperer is north of kondonu / sw of rilohn refuse.
I know this cos i spent all last night looking for both.
whisperer is standing by a res point with 3 Djinns.

but the problem is he doesnt have no green mark over his head and he dont say squat either!!!!!

Also last night i tried to join PUGS to just do the coops in Nundu/konondu etc to by-pass the bug but ended up getting kicked from teams because they couldnt enter the mission because of me.

ANET PLEASE SORT THIS PROBLEM OUT NOOOOOOW!!!!
