@ulrich-a-75 came just to see if by some miracle they had bothered to fix the bug after the last big drop, but as expected no. Thanks for confirming.

I own every AC game but I think this is the last for me. In past versions we even got a quest creator we could use ourselves, but now we can't even get a simple way to reset a frequently bugged main story quest back to the beginning so our saves aren't worthless. Just got into Far Cry and was considering buying FC6 too but i'm done with Ubisoft products and their bugs.

Seems crazy that this still isn't fixed yet and well beyond a reasonable timeframe, this has been going on since May.

My Season Pass was part of a bundled edition, so if Season Pass content is broken and can't be progressed do I have to seek a refund for the whole bundle through retailer?

At minimum there just needs to be a way to have this quest restart through walking away or something, it's the main story and people can't progress with the game until it's fixed, not like it's some trivial side mission that's stuck permanently.

With the new content that's coming out it seems to me that this simply isn't an issue anyone cares about fixing or the game being playable for everyone?

@ubi-karl I'm confused why we're always told the issue is being investigated, but the dev team updates of issues under investigation and expected fixes in next versions don't address it:

ISSUES PLANNED TO BE ADDRESSED WITH FUTURE UPDATES 
Target: 1.4.0 (Expected release: Fall 2021) 

The below issues are currently targeted to be addressed in a future update.
[NEW] Haptic feedback disabled since Title Update 1.3.2
Constant New Quest Alert since Title Update 1.3.1
Blacksmiths in all locations do not have the option to Enhance Gear for Pants.

Workaround: Equip the pants you want to upgrade

Large Swords are held upside down in the off-hand
English description present for Svartalfar weapon pack items, regardless of selected language.

ISSUES CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION  

River Raids 
Long loading screen during transition between River Raids and settlement on PS4 

Wrath of The Druids - Expansion 1 
Contracts may disappear from your quest log if you die and reload  

Workaround: Rebooting the game should solve this issue 

 
 World events or side activities-related issues:   
Milk of Humankind / Audumbla is unable to move  
ULC quests disappear from Quest log 
The Mysterious Berserker - The quest disappears after changing the sound language from English to other languages 
 
 General issues   
Screen tearing on PS5  
Some achievements / trophies do not retroactively unlock after bringing your progression onto another platform.  

Note that the experience may vary depending on the combination of platforms used for cross-progression.
Experiencing this issue? Report it in our dedicated Megathread or via Ubisoft Support.

A Little Problem / Man's Best Friend ability not unlocked after completing the quest    
Players may fall through the map in a cave near Anlaf's Lookout  

Potential Workaround: Fast travel away if you get stuck  

Avenge quests are difficult to spot  

Additionally the dev pipeline detail that goes along with those updates suggests main quest progression bugs take priority over most other issues ("Flagged issues are categorized and prioritized based on frequency, severity, and/or player impact. (E.g. Main quest progression blockers will generally see a higher priority than side content or quality of life issues)", yet the list of updates for 1.4.0 has items like this:

• [NEW] Haptic feedback disabled since Title Update 1.3.2

and this:

• Blacksmiths in all locations do not have the option to Enhance Gear for Pants.

So haptic feedback and unenhanced pants are seen as more important content and not just "side content or quality of life issues" while players continue to report being unable to progress the main quest with this bug?

It's really hard to believe the claims that people are actually looking at this, and I remain unconvinced it would take this long if anybody was actually bothering to look into the issue.

Can Ubisoft just admit the no one is actually looking at this or planning on doing anything to resolve this game breaking bug?

I have update 1.2.2 and this still happened to me. Cannot progress the story. Barid just standing at the stables doing nothing and Ciara off at the destination. Crazy that this is still not fixed after all this time.
