The Hunt Begins Quest

Same. Went back, wisp spawned, killed everything and I 'spoke' to Delwyn but quest didn't progress and still just says 'speak to Delwwyn' . I have respawned instance 3x and same result..

Had a wisp inhabit an essence monster that was inactive that I cannot access because i've never had an essence drop (lv63)

In Act 1 I managed to encounter the first wisp (the deer or bear, I think?) and then later the serpent and the cat prior to rescuing Risu in Act 2. Delwyn's dialog has increased a little bit but nothing substantial so far.

However, every time I come across Delwyn it's been about a 1/2 chance that the wisp is actually present because during other times the wisp is not. Approaching Delwyn still triggers some of his audio cues and even kicks in the music but no hunt begins (no wisp visible on mini map/overlay either), and Delwyn doesn't move from his spot either.

There's probably any number of reasons why this is happening but the one that seems more obvious is on a few of those occasions, Delwyn is staring straight at a wall or some sort of impassable terrain, which leads me to assume the entity has spawned in a spot that things cannot spawn in. Though at the same time I've still encountered Delwyn staring at a large empty spot of land with nothing apparently blocking something from spawning there and there's also no wisp. Chatting to the guild I'm not the only person this has happened to.

I am also experiencing this bug. I've tried everything suggested. I don't really have new information to add unfortunately. I guess I'm just going to start a new character. Is that what everyone else is doing in this case? Such a bummer. Hope they fix it soon.

I find it a shame that this has not been solved yet, it completely prevents progress in the game, I will leave it until they fix it.

bug still exists and prevents game progress. IMMEDIATE FIX NEEDED.

Still bugged...

Can not go to act 2 cruel because of this. I can not travel east!!!

still bugged
