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.

Update: engineering is looking into this, I don’t have an ETA for a fix though, sorry!

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!
