For some reason i'm stuck into the phased shrine of the seven stars after completing the quest. Even HS'ing into another city didn't help. I've reported it to GMs, waiting for an answer. Thought i'ld drop a line here in case i wasn't the only one.

Comment by DivineIxen

An interesting quest. I really dig this new Varian who's actually thinking with his head for once. And I'm disliking Rogers more everyday. Doesn't she realize that her tactics would lead the Alliance into becoming exactly the thing she despises?

A transcript of the dialogue right before and after you turn this quest in:

Right before:

Stormwind Royal Guard says: All hail the King of Gilneas, Genn Greymane!
Stormwind Royal Guard says: From the faraway boughs of tranquil Darnassus, High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind arrives!
Stormwind Royal Guard says: Representing the draenei, the wise and noble Farseer Nobundo from the Exodar!
Stormwind Royal Guard says: From the flying city of Dalaran, the leader of the Kirin Tor, Lady Jaina Proudmoore!

And after:

King Varian Wrynn says: I see. So it was this... sha... that caused such violent behavior in our troops?
Anduin Wrynn says: Yes, father. I encountered sha energy in my travels. At its full power it is terrible to behold.
King Varian Wrynn says: We Alliance have rallied to defeat many enemies, my son. The sha will fall to us, just like any other.
Anduin Wrynn says: This isn't the same, father. The sha cannot simply be defeated. It feeds on our inner-most weaknesses. It twists our thoughts. Don't underestimate it!
Brann Bronzebeard says: Yer Majesty! Look!
Genn Greymane says: By the light, is that a sha?
Anduin Wrynn says: Yes. Don't go near it!
Tyrande Whisperwind says: I sense great darkness emanating from this... thing. Destroy it, now!
Farseer Nobundo says: I agree. Only suffering can come of such a creature.
Sky Admiral Rogers says: Your Highness, we should study it. Weaponize it! The Horde already outnumber us here on Pandaria. We need to gain every possible advantage.
Brann Bronzebeard says: It couldn't hurt to study it. 'Tho I don't much care for the way it's lookin' at me.
Tinkmaster Overspark says: Yes, yes! Very interesting! Perhaps I could distill it into a new power source?
Sky Admiral Rogers says: Garrosh is using every weapon he can lay his hands on. Shouldn't we level the playing field?
King Varian Wrynn says: What do you think, Anduin?
Anduin Wrynn says: Garrosh's example is not one that I care to follow. The Alliance should make its own decisions. The RIGHT decisions.
Anduin Wrynn says: It is true, it may be possible to someday harness the sha into a weapon. But we risk destroying our own people in the process. That is not a price I am willing to pay.
King Varian Wrynn says: Well said, my son.
King Varian Wrynn says: This power is too dangerous. I will have none of it!
Anduin Wrynn says: , thank you for helping me today. I knew we could convince my father of the right course. Please, go back to your other duties for now.

Always take the time to watch the entire event - leaving before it is finished means you will be stuck in this particular phase.

Comment by 1049090

Important note on phasing for this quest and how to avoid it happening to you.

Currently the phasing issue appears to arise from handing in this quest and not allowing the event which unfolds after this to finish in full. I have a source stating that if the quest is handed in and the room is left before the King and such have their speech and strikes the Sha that the phasing will occur.

To avoid the phasing bug while it's been worked on and corrected on Blizzards side, hand in this quest and wait for the event which takes part to unfold in FULL. Once it has fully unfolded and you leave as normal to continue, the phasing issue should not happen.

I hope this information proves helpful to some people. It seemed to work okay for me on my alt.

Comment by Mewkins

This quest is somewhat currently bugged. It seem if you do not wait until all the Role Play happen you will be stuck in that phase.

I spoke to a GM today and well...I don't think he had any clue of what he was saying. Telling me i am missing 400 rep for quest and what not. He said he will be looking into it further hopefully we can get this fixed soon.

For the rest of you make sure you stay until the role play is done to avoid the phasing. ^^

Bugged, still. Only got to watch Varian's part and stare at a new minion for me called Heart of the Alliance Bunny Controller B. Thrilling.

Comment by Althalus20

Not only did I miss half the conversation after turning in this quest due to a bug that is still not resolved, it left me short 45 rep to revered with Operation: Shieldwall. I was not amused.

Comment by Amantheil

There still seem to be some phasing bugs. I just completed it, and right as Varian started talking Tyrande, Nobduno, Anduin, and Greymane despawned, - and I missed their dialogue. I'm glad they had the whole thing here!

Comment by Eclipsegirl

The transport took me to the shrine of the seven stars.

After accepting this quest. walk around the shrine, investigate the sha-touched footmen and then battle them

Comment by Eillesthis

When you accept, Anduin Wrynn becomes Anduin Wrynn, and says:

Be ready for anything, <name>. We may have to use force against our own men.

When you complete, he says:

I knew you were the right one for this task, <class>. Meet me back upstairs when you are finished here.

The players, in the scene after you turn-in:
Stormwind Royal Guard
King Varian Wrynn
Anduin Wrynn
Sky Admiral Rogers
Lady Jaina Proudmoore
Farseer Nobundo
Genn Greymane
Tyrande Whisperwind
Tinkmaster Overspark
Brann Bronzebeard
Sha-touched Claw
Echo of Hatred

Next: The Kun-Lai Expedition

BTW, you're close to or actually Revered now, don't forget your Grand Commendation of Operation: Shieldwall.

Comment by 505968

During this quest, keep your eyes open for some little mood-setting changes among the NPCs in the Shrine: the musicians on the balcony are scared and crying, the normally happy group in the inn area now have two members in a fist-fight, with the others cheering them on, and the dancing dark iron dwarf is now sitting somberly at the bar. There might be others I missed/forgotten about while on this quest, but those little subtleties made the threat of the Sha feel much more horrible than just having the possessed soldiers laying around.

Comment by Lizinator

There is a workaround for the phasing bug!
If you get stuck, simply leave the room where the discussion went on, then return to it. You should see all the npcs vanish and you should now be unphased :)

Comment by Tenjen

A quest where we dont horribly murder the sadly currupted?

its very refreshing.

Comment by Bronius

This is the second time Velen hasn't shown himself in this quest line now, what is he doing that's so important?

Comment by Arsonist

Anduin never reappeared for me after killing the Sha touched footmen : / Relogged - over. Good job QC! .......

Comment by Simonmon

I don't know if it was a bug, but when I did this quest, I landed at the Shrine and Fennie Hornswaggle's red kite that I flew in on spawned right next to me and followed me all around while I completed the quest. It was very strange.

Comment by SinfulSylwen

I didn’t play MoP when it came out and I am doing the content currently. I am working on the reputation for Shieldwall and I would like to do the quest line for them, but it’s 2020 and Anduin isn’t in the the Imperial Exchange anymore. How do I continue this quest line? Any help would be nice, thanks.

Comment by Gadoink4

Doing this quest on Remix and seems messed up - for some reason the enemies are all level 40, while I'm only level 23, making the quest impossible at the level I can get it at.

Comment by JeackTL

Currently on remix this quest is a little bugged and the mobs are level 40 if you are less than level 40.

This is still doable though. First make sure Anduin is following you - you might have to restart the quest if you logged out. Click a mob (1 at a time) and let Anduin kill it. Don't try to kite - they are fast and reset after a pretty short distance. Use defensives if you have any, and the "Timerunner's Bandage" heals you for 10% per tick and does NOT break with combat/attacks.

This method is slow but it works. I did it at level 27 as a frost mage.

Description

I can't believe this has happened, <name>. After all we have been through here on Pandaria, will our people never learn from their past mistakes?

Brann's expedition returned recently from Mogujia, bearing a sample of sha for study.

I had my reservations about this endeavor in the first place, and my worst fears have been realized.

The sha has escaped containment. I do not need to explain the horror of bringing the sha into the heart of the Vale.

We must dispel any sha we can find, and quickly!
