I'm sure people would rather have the quest step auto-complete via a Hotfix than wait weeks that will put the visit/lore sequencing out of whack.
It will completely ruin the build up and development of the lore imo.
TL;DR: If you know you can't fix it in time, issue a Hotfix and auto-complete the step in players inventories before Xur comes back.
External link →Hey all,
At this time, we are unable to auto-complete this step of the quest. Ultimately, all players on this step will be delayed until a hotfix is issued.
Stay tuned to @BungieHelp. We’ll have details on the next hotfix within the next few days. Just finalizing the details.
Serious question, and if it's been asked before then I have not seen it:
Could you reverse the change that made invitations only count on the planet specified?
That way we could visit Nessus/Mercury, finish the Invitation, then it could be changed back when a better resolution is found.
Thanks for the update too!
EDIT: I'm not 100% what all goes into developing, hence the question.
This issue impacted more than just the Invitations of the Nine quest steps. Reverting the global fix would break a few other things, and not address the actual issue that's impacting this quest.
Fixing the actual bug here will prevent future issues if we have quests like it in the future. We fully understand the bummer of being delayed a week on this step - I'm right there with you. We should have a fix pretty quick.
