Not sure how long its been broken, but its needed for The Fallen Swords: Reasons and Rime. I'm trying to finish up older quests and now I'm stuck. Timer for it stays at 13:14. More than frustrating and yes I'm standing in the right spot etc...
It never happened to me. There are two Public Quests in Great Divide. One starts at even hour, the other one at odd hour. I was busy doing Fallen Swords quest this weekend and I was able to do it. In total I have completed public quests in Great Divide dozen of times in the last 3 or 4 months just to have some fun, unusual rewards and see if I can survive it on my own. One quest is slightly bugged though, but nevertheless, both quests are doable if you wait for the right time.
