Jesus…this bug has been here 3+ years.
I started Ships of the Line. Everything went fine until the LAST checkmark: “Rescue the crew of the Windfall.” Zott is NOWHERE to be seen. I know that only he can revive Elli. So I’m stuck and can’t complete the quest. I tried dying and restarting, like I do when NPCs get lost in other quests, but since there were ships in the beginning of this quest that are gone now, Zott is still nowhere to be seen.
Your event logic is broken…if Zott is neccessary to complete the quest, then he should auto-update when you reach Elli’s body and he should be teleported to you. He shouldn’t be able to disappear or get stuck.
Seriously, Anet…I hope someone messages me about this because I will give you more detail. I love this game and I can’t believe so many people have gotten stuck on the very last personal story quest like this. For THREE YEARS.
