Shadowlands intro bugged after The Maw skip- unable to get starting quest in Oribos

Hi - I have started the quest with Mograine at SW, teleported to Oribos and the start bit where there are a couple of guards and you are met by an NPC - the guards are there and no one else. If I skip them and go to the table there is no Mograine, or coventant NPC’s etc. I dont evne have the option to quit the quest, its just a chapter

Today (at least on the EU realms) the 20th Anniversary celebration has 3 portals that lead to Shadowlands. So you can take one of those portals and put your hearthstone there. This option will be gone tomorrow.

As of today it’s still not fixed. The only option to get from Oribos to any of the zones is by shadowlands wormhole (~2-3k gold on AH) but you need to be an engineer for this, so if you learned and leveled any professions in TWW you’re cooked, unless you’re willing to make a small sacrifice

Has anyone found a way to get into the Maw with this glitch? Followed the portal route to Shadowlands but have no way to get there

Same issue here on multiple characters, skip or not, doesn’t matter. Oribos is just empty aside from some guards, a quest does show on the minimap but noone is there.
Was hoping to go farm some old raids as I missed most of SL. My partner did get the quest to pop up, at lvl 80 so not sure if it is the “have to be higher than lvl50 but below 70 to start” is the issue here. Tried it on a few characters together, it pops up for his every time but not for me. I hope they will fix this asap.

same here on my dracthyr hunter i just leveled and is my “new” main i get the plan is to fix this in the next patch which would be good but now you have gone and put the secrets of azeroth quest “not ready on set” in ardenweld so now i have to either restart my progress on another charicter or wait till the next patch to actually be able to go there

Hey, so I just thought I’d make it known that if you skip the intro to Shadowlands, it bugs out and teleports you to Oribos but the NPC for the next quest you need to do to even unlock access to the rest of the Shadowlands stuff DOES NOT appear???

I’ve tried relogging and it won’t work. So please just beware with that until it maybe gets fixed.

EDIT: spelling

I just did the SL intro and the bug is still there, so it’s not about skipping the intro, the dude who should come and ask you if u want to do Threads of Fate or Campaign is bugged.

I’ve been to Oribos before on this char since I tried to go to Sanctum of Domination, but with this bug you can’t even jump into maw, nor you can use any flight paths. So maybe it’s because I’ve been in Oribos before, the bug happens, dunno.

This means that I can’t get to Maldraxxus for the Felcycle secret on this char unless I get summoned there or I switch to engineering so I could use SL wormhole

Same thing happened here. Got teleported and then nothing. No portals. No way to leave Oribos into the Shadowlands regions.

Still an issue. Get teleported to Oribos, then nothing. No way to continue the story, and no way to unlock the Flightmaster.

Fortunately, going into the Timeways and then to either Ardenweald or Bastion works. You can use the flight paths from there to access the other zones. Once the dungeons in those zones are cycled out of the Mythic rotation, though . . . who knows how we’ll have to do it.

i just had it on like 4 toons … which are lvl 80 - what am i to delete them and wait for blizz to fix it, but not give quest to those that done it and awaiting ? :open_mouth:

I tried to go farm the legendary bow in sanctum of domination on my hunter who hasn’t unlocked Shadowlands content. I started the quest line to get to the maw and pressed the “I’ve already done this , please skip” option. It teleported me to oribos like it should but I don’t have any covenent quest and I can’t talk to fatemaster etc. I can’t go to the maw or even use a flightpath or go to any zones.

I’m a very experianced player and played every expansion since TBC without unsubbing. This is a massive bug and I can’t access a whole expansion? I made a ticket and I just got told stuff I already know and to make a bug report.

Anyone else had any issues with this?

Edit: I see it’s already been looked into… 30 days ago though.

Theres literally like 3 different threads other than yours about this on the forums, lol. The main one even has blue replies.

One is a month old. The other threads where made after mine.

Thanks for reading the edit.

Seems you as good at reading as I am at finding one month old threads. Also if you want to try be smart at least try be perfect yourself.

I wasn’t trying to be smart, I was trying to be humerous, that someone as experienced as you failed to spot the threads lol.

All good. I’ve not had the best day so maybe I misread your intentions.

Having the same issue, skipped the campaign and was ported to Oribos but I didn’t get the quest to choose a covenant so now I’m stuck with an empty city and no ability to travel about. I was able to get to Maldraxxus via the Timeways portal to Bastion but other than that, all of Shadowlands’ content is locked. I wanted dem mogs.

Same issue here

you can still go to SL for the anniversary event by going trought the m+ portals to Ardenwaeld or Bastion and then fly there

Same problem here, was planning to use this alt to get the last crate from the 20year secrets, which is somewhere in Shadowlands. I’ll try an M+ portal to see if I can get him there that way.
EDIT: Nope, as he’s not yet 80. Did the final crate on my main :stuck_out_tongue:
