I’m currently on Conscript the Dead Ships in the story mission, and currently I’m stuck on the step where I have to follow up with Crusader Jeyne. There is no dialog option, but how I got to this step was odd.

First after I got to the mission area I started it. The quest proceeded normally with banter between my character and the NPCs. As I agreed to move ahead and board the ship I was shown a weird upside down video of my character and squad landing at one of the beached ships in a video that was displayed upside down. After I was hit with a chain of gameplay cutting to a loading screen I did not start on the small canoe I saw in the weird disoriented video, but in the brig of the first ship. So like any confused player I ran up to the top dick and bravely fought and died from a sudden lag spike, and a overwhelming force of Risen Hylek.

Much to my dismay I revived on the Canoe when I chose to start from a check point. Now I’m at the step where I must pick a strategy and follow up with Crusader Jeyne. Of course in all bugged fashion I have only two non-progression options, and the standard “I don’t want to talk with you anymore” option.

If I try to get onto the ship I get knocked off of it, and if I jump off the Canoe I get placed back onto it. Have done this twice and gotten the same result.

Addition: When I spawned in the brig of the ship it seems I was transported to the belly of the third ship and not the first.

This is what I’m stuck on in terms of dialog.

When I pursue either dialog I end up with this.. THere is nothing that points in the direction of progressing this personal quest.

I haven’t touched this personal story quest in a while, but has anyone gotten this same issue as I have? Started the quest, and was teleported to the brig of the third ship?

I was able to finish the instance, but I encountered some other problems that may be related to yours. On my first attempt, I was able to clear the first ship and fell off during the fight, but was able to return normally. When it came time to advance to the second ship though, I noticed that all the gangplanks between the ships were laid down, but if you tried to cross them I fell through (I got to the different ships using the engineer skill Jump Shot). The first 2-3 foes on the second ship spawned in the water, but after that no more enemies could be found in the instance to progress it, so I exited it and tried again.

The second time through the instance, everything progressed normally and was able to finish the instance. The difference was that I didn’t fall off (or die) until the 4th ship, but everything turned out fine. Perhaps falling off the ships messes up the instance?

Also, in your first pic and in the text box, the text “assure you asura never get sick” is from the cutscene before you arrive on the canoe. However the text after it (about the arm) is from the 4th ship, meaning somehow you skipped straight to the final ship. The second time I attempted the instance, I skipped that initial cutscene (and the game didn’t place the skipped, purple cutscene text in the dialog box) but everything worked out fine.

So, try skipping the initial cutscene and also try not to fall off the ships, since those may be bugging the instance.

Good luck

Thanks for the reports! We think we may have identified what’s causing these breaks (don’t use Jump Shot to get to the different ships). We’ll be doing some additional work to prevent this, but if you go through the quest and walk along the gangplanks, it should progress normally.
