Hello, just wanted to say that I’m having issues with the personal story questline: Estate of Decay. It is located in Malchor’s Leap, and requires the player to go to a certain individuals manor. Upon entering, the host of the manor welcomes the party members then leaves. After that there is nothing to do; the doors are locked, the servants repeat the same dialogue and there seems to be no way to advance. I’ve tried attempting to see if it required jumping through a puzzle like vistas.
Unless I am missing something completely, I do not think there is a way to advance, I’ve tried nearly everything. Backtracking, jumping, etc.
Would love to see this fixed sometime soon so I could finish the epic story.

I asked one of the designers about this, and the story should progress when you open one of the closed doors in the mansion. Could you check and see if there’s a door you may have missed? If not, please let us know! Thanks!
I tried running through the questline again and found it still was not working, I can enter the building from the front door just fine, but after the show presented by the NPC’s I cannot open the second door.
Did you do anything special? Like waiting without moving until they all went to the next room? Mine hasn’t worked after resetting, and I’ve tried making it work 10-20 times already.
I just tried it again and it worked. Not sure if the patch update fixed it, or for some reason it just started working for me.
It might have been because of the fact that I Right-Clicked the door instead of pressing ‘F’ but I’m not too sure. I may have been pressing ‘F’ the whole time the other times I’ve been trying the quest.

Personal story – Estate of Decay
Start the personal story, can fight the small mobs of bulls and chickens outside the main door. Enter in, see the dialogue scene with Lord Kitah and the nobles who then disappear off through a door up the steps and then to the left.
Main door becomes locked so you cant exit; the door the nobles vanished through cant be opened. There is a press F to open door, but nothing happens. No friendly NPCs help and the servants only offer the same dialogue (which is alluded to in the responses)
Im stuck, and ive been stuck on the story quest ’Estate of Decay – Enter Kitah Manse and find the scouting party ’ for some days now.
When i enter the building Lord Kitah gives his little speech and then leaves the room, leaving me behind with his servants that says the same line over and over again.
I have tried to restart it several times but with no difference, nothing happens after the speech.
Ive had this issue since lv77 and im now 80, playing as a Human Guardian.
Stuck behind pillar fighting mouth of Zhaitan. Can not move forward, back, right, left, jump, or evade. Am not under the effects of any attacks. Was hopping out from behind pillar to fire, then hopping back behind pillar to dodge attacks. Fight is still going on, I just can not move.
In the quest Estate of Decay upon entering the Manse I could not progress past the first door. No matter what I did it would not open, I retried and restarted the quest at least three times, tried dropping group and doing it solo. I tried waiting in the main area until the NPCs in the room initially ran out, but nothing happened.
Please help me progress on this quest, me and a friend are both equally stuck at this point.
I experience the same issue. Apparently a thread was started on this last month as well. This is a big one, since it pretty much killed the game for me for tonight and is making it impossible to finish my personal storyline.
My friend and I encountered this bug tonight. We reset and retried about 7 times each. I gave up but he kept at it and found out if you spam “F” real fast and jump all over the stuck door the event will eventually trigger. It worked for both of us. Hope this helps anyone else that runs into the bug.
I can confirm that Haze’s fix does work. I was also encountering the bugged doorway, resetting multiple times. After reading Haze’s fix, I was able to proceed with the Estate of Decay story.
This happened to me now. Another thread says that if you jump and spam the F (or use) key it’ll eventually work. Just go crazy in front of the door. It worked for me. I tried this and eventually triggered the next events.
Addendum to my first post. We were able to find a…work around of sorts.
Basically, my boyfriend hopped around the door while slamming the interact key until something hit and it progressed the quest, expect to do this a bit and go a bit crazy.
Also, you will need to do this twice to properly transition to the next room.
Basically, exactly what PrecisioNist said, but I didn’t see it at the time
Same problem here … Look like its general. Hopefully this fix work perfectly thanks.
( have seen too 1 times after kill the first mobs outside, the dialog between the 2 chars was not starting before and so it was even impossible to enter the Presbyter ).
In addition the AI characters on your team are nicely bugged ( go in wall, dont enter next room, dont attack enemy etc ) .
The door cannot be opened normally as intended, is not reachable if you are just standing normally in front of it.
BTW, all the NPCs that are helping you killing “that guy” die in 3 seconds, and you must kill it solo, that could be hard, I just abandoned the mission, trying later.
The problem is the trigger range. Something changed, I completed this just fine on my first character, but on this new one I was having problems. To resolve it I set auto-run and kept running into the concave area of the door and mashed F repeatedly, finally I got a prompt to appear which triggered the next sequence. You will have to do the same thing again once you get past the first wave of zombies.
(Again, basically what needs to be fixed is the range at which you can actually get the door events to trigger)
Hopefully this helps anyone currently trying the quest.
I enter the personal storyline, do the first part, enter the first door then listen to Lord Kitah’s speech. Kitah exits through the second door but the door will not open for me when I press “F”
Well the last door is bugged also, if you die from the mouth and try to continue from the last checkpoint – you just can’t open the door for the basement. Rly nice!
Jack, please read my earlier post. It will address how to resolve that. GIGO, to open the final door you need to wait for all the NPC’s to catch up with you. Make sure they are alive.
We ran into this same bug and I can confirm the press against the door thing works. Took a few minutes with two of us trying but finally it worked. It might have been just to the right of the center of the door that I got it.
I’m stuck on the story quest Estate of Decay, the door leading further into the manse doesn’t open, neither does the front door, The only way to leave is to log out and back into the game, but I’d really like to be able to finish my personal story!
