A Small Problem, unable to complete

[Drecas]

Have tried running A Small Problem, but the sky spirit spawns hostile, and I am unable to talk to it. I killed it, hoping I could spawn another one, but no, once it's dead, no way to complete. Anyone else run into this? Is this a new thing?

[PurpleSerpent]

Did you kill all the Tieflings on that rock first? The air elemental is hostile until you do that.

[Drecas]

I think I've always ignored the tieflings, but I may be misremembering. Thanks, I'll have to try that.

Isnt this supposed to have an Epic version? Went to run this today and only had heroic option.

I can confirm the issue with the sky spirit. seems to be bugged

Shut after U51 while they fix a bug with monster stat scaling. Should be back in a couple of weeks.

Sometimes those tiefling and/or the wind Ellie fall off the mountain. I more often than not have to jump to the adjacent plateau to get them to respawn. And when you jump back, make sure you stay on the island.

Nope, the wind spirit spawns hostile and stays that way.

repeated 3 times today, unable to speak to that air elemental.
definitely bugged.

Ran it today and can confirm:
You are unable to speak to that air elemental because it spawns hostile and stays that way.

So you can't finish the quest.

Furthermore I encountered some (almost guaranteed unintended) changes with the mobs.
Wolves & Lions are no longer hidden but visible and the spiders (collect the rocks) are completely invisible/hidden/whatever until they jump on you.

Also, still encountering this problem. The air elemental is intended to spawn hostile, but to stop being hostile once the tieflings on the final rock next to it are killed.

The current and repeatable problem I am encountering is that the the tieflings on the final rock, next to the altar where the air elemental appears are not spawning, rendering the quest (and therefore the quest line) impossible to complete.

Weird. I competed this quest on both heroic and epic in the last 2 weeks and they’ve completed fine. Kill tiefling a, talk to elemental, progress as normal. Curious what’s going on here

Well... anecdotally I just tried to complete the quest on Heroic Hard, literally moments ago, but zero tieflings spawned on the air elemental's stone so eternally hostile Air elemental. Actually ZERO tieflings spawned anywhere on the stone jumping path but its been awhile since I ran a difficulty below HE so I'm not sure if they are supposed to spawn or not before the Air ele below Elite difficulty.

[Halciet]

Tiefling skip still works though? (waiting to turn in firewood until someone is at sky spirit)

[Dabima]

It may be present only on heroic normal and hard then? I haven’t ran it below elite in a long time. I know the 4 wolves boss fight only occurs on heroic elite and epic difficulties, and not heroic normal or hard, so perhaps the same is true for the tiefling and it bugs out. Would make sense since the air elemental used to be only hostile in epics. They probably didn’t account for the tieflings only being there on epic difficulties and heroic elite

I'm experiencing this glitch on Epic: no mobs spawn on the same rock as the spirit, ever. When I summon the spirit it is eternally hostile. Quest can't be advanced.

IF you dont fight the casters on the rock before, you run the risk of no mobs spawning on the rock with the air elemental and then it spawns hostile. Try jumping back and forth a few times. I have experienced this before and that is what fixed it for me.
