Personal Story Quest: Retribution - Bugged
Look down in the hold of the ship, there’s an NPC you need to talk to there.
Thank you for your quick reply. I hope there’s a chance this can be clarified in the quest tracker on the right to prevent this confusion in the future. When you think about it, I don’t understand how any player is supposed to just “figure it out” without any visible markers? Thank you again for such a quick response, and keep fighting the good fight.
Ugh… nevermind. I JUST noticed there’s a green marker over the head of the NPC. On the deck of the ship, it just kind of floats above the surface, easily overlooked. My bad.
No worries. It’s supposed to spawn you in the hold, but a couple of updates ago the start locations were expanded to support multiple players (so they don’t start on top of each other) and it sounds like that location occasionally expands up on the deck.
Well, I’m lost again. Having completed Retribution, I am now on the quest “Forging the Pact”. The objective is to “Read Trahearne’s Letter”. There is no waypoint active in the world indicating where to go, no hints given in the quest log, and no letter in my inventory. If it’s referring to the letter of recommendation that I recieved as a reward for the last story quest, I used it immediately after recieveing it, before leaving the Retribution quest area and the quest updating. Am I missing something yet again? Or did I truly mess up this time?
Check your in-game mail, the mail icon at the top of the screen.
Haha, thank you Jeff. I wasn’t expecting this much help from game staff, it’s a pleasant surprise. But it sure has left me feeling awfully sheepish. I guess I’m one of those unfortunate people who need things to be pointed out for them, or they just never figure it out. Thank you yet again!
I’m just glad these are easy issues to work out.
If it makes you feel better, I consider the Retribution problem to be an actual bug, and I’ve moved the spawn location so you’re now down in the hold with the marked NPC in front of you. No ETA on when it will go live, but it’s being verified by QA right now so it should be in a future update.
