I’ll try to describe it in detail:

So i’m lvling my thief who is currently lvl 77 and i am doing the described storyline quest. The quest tells me to get in a submarine and then transports me together with my ‘squad’. The first objective is ‘brief your squad on the mission’ however this part does not seem to work for me. There is a green star over the head of baroosh the quaggan but when i try to talk to him nothing happens. When i try to talk to him or any other npc in the area my karma points and gold flashes briefly and that’s it. I have tried the following things:

-restarted the mission
-relloged
-restarted the game
-left the area
-cleared the entire instance of enemies
-walked inside the ship everywhere

None of these worked. All the previous fixes i see for this quest were about Maeva getting stuck on the ship so i think this might be a new issue created by the patch.

No changes were made to that step on the content side, so I’ll bug engineering to see if they can find the issue.

I can confirm this problem, I’m having it too.

When I talk to him, I get this weird popup in the middle of my screen with karma/gold/ “Available”.

Add two more people to this, both a guildy of mine and I experienced this yesterday. Made no difference if he started it or I, nor if we went seperate.

Had the same abnormality as in the screenshot provided by DunkinFresh (pressing F or double clicking both resulted in this abnormality). Quest perhaps not updating because of impossibility to correctly interact with NPC?

In the storyline mission, “A Grisly Shipment”, right at the start the objective is “Brief your squad on the mission”. In my story the quest star appears above Baroosh the Quaggans head but when I attempt to talk to him no conversation box comes up but for some reason my Karma Value, Current Gold Value and the word “Available” blink up on the screen then disappear immediately.

Apparently not being able to talk to the quaggan means that I can’t advance the mission/complete the first objective to advance the mission, ergo I am stuck.

PLEASE HELP

Given the lack of an ETA is there anything else that could be done? Perhaps switching those that would accept it to the alternative story mission, if thats possible?

Same problem here for both a friend and I. Cannot brief the squad on the mission so we cannot proceed past the opening cinematic.

Same problem here. This makes it completely impossible to continue the mission. It is completely broken. In the meanwhile, can support switch me to the alternative mission, Ossuary of Unquiet Dead? I really would like to continue my storyline, but seriously, none of us can until either our missions get swapped or this bugged gets fixed…

Same problem. Been going around in circles trying to figure out how to trigger the mission… oh well, hope this gets resolved as soon as possible or switch to the other mission instead if this one is unplayable.

Yes, same problem as everyone else. After the initial cut scene with Trahearne there’s a story star over Baroosh’s head, but when I try to interact with him (right mouse click or F key) all I get is a flash of information about my cash, etc.. See attached screen cap; the flash is fading but still just about visible near the top of the screen.

I should add that I’ve successfully completed this story on other characters, albeit with different allies, twice within the Wintersday story period.

(As others have indicated – it’s REALLY frustrating that there’s no option, when a story event is bugged, to swap to another story path when an alternative one existed. I got slightly out of step because of the new Living Story events, but I’ve been trying very hard to keep my story in step with my character progression; now I either have to resign myself to letting my character level ahead of the story, or put my character on hold and go do something else.)

It does look like an engineering bug rather than anything else, it doesn’t happen outside the instance or in any other story missions I’ve done today (Which is everything from level ~60 upwards). This is very frustrating. Any updates?

I’m having the same issues with the first step when you enter the instance.

<Sink the ark that provides corpses to Zhaitan’s ossuary.

  • Brief your squad on the mission.>

<Baroosh> has the quest star over his head but neither him nor any NPC wants to talk. I tried carrying on but after clearing the Ark he still wouldn’t talk to me. I tried talking to him when he was still in the mouth of the fish-sub and right outside of it, in the mid draft of the Ark’s keel (and pretty much everywhere else on the Ark).

I also tried getting out and in a new instance, watching the cut scene and skip it all to no avail. I did sent a bug report but they seemed destined to the Devs rather then GM.

I was using watch?v=neLTEeGisdU as guide line to compare (step completes at 1:16 right as the cut scene ends.) what’s suppose to happen to what I got.

Apparently this wasn’t a bug before this most recent patch, so complaining about this being broken for years isn’t accurate, or fair. Something got messed up on their end just recently, and I don’t think that ANET is the kind of developer to just LEAVE an essentially game breaking bug like this unattended for very long.

That aside… I’m stuck too. I wanna finish da gaaaaaaaame…. sniff sniff

Update 2: We have a fix in testing right now, once it’s confirmed we’ll get it to Live ASAP. Note that trying to implement a workaround (like switching your story step) would still require us to go through testing, bring down the servers, etc. and just isn’t viable. Thanks for your patience!

Thanks for the update, Jeffrey (and thanks to everyone for giving this one some love – I’ve been a software developer myself, and I know the competing pressures!)

Edit: I can confirm that this was fixed in the 25th January patch. No sign of Baroosh during the story, so either he shouldn’t have been there in the first place, or taking him out was the simplest fix. Either way – I was able to progress and finish the story. Thanks, guys.

When I start this story, I get a cinematic and a conversation, and when they are finished, the mission states that I have to ‘’Brief my squad on the mission’’ and a green star appears above the quaggan Baroosh. When I try to talk to him, the only thing I see is how much gold and karma I have available for just a second, so I can’t pregress the story.
I looked the mission up on youtube and saw that the conversation after the cinematic counts as the Briefing and directly after that you get sent to go to the boat.
I hope someone can help me, I also added a screenshot of what happens when I talk to the quaggan
