The Anchors of Zephras: Halaan’s dialogue does nothing?

October 15: Blizzard lists a fix

Blizzard says it addressed the Halaan’s Gift progression block. The older player reports below predate this patch; use them as history, not evidence that the current quest is still broken.

The intended objective: view the Anchor Pylon

The quest asks you to borrow Halaan Hawk-Eye’s gift to view the distant Anchor Pylon. Confirm that The Anchors of Zephras is active in your log and check whether the viewing objective has credit before returning to him.

This is the objective listed for quest 94414. It does not establish launch behavior or a successful ForeverAtlas in-game completion.

Earlier reports: October 3–7

October 3–6 testers report selecting this dialogue without progressing to the Anchor Pylon view. The reports include Alliance and Horde characters, including Horde Shamans and Druids. They do not establish that every character, class or realm is affected.

One player reports that the quest worked for them on October 7, after another player still reported a block on October 6. The success reply gives no client build, faction, class or recovery steps. No staff diagnosis or named fix appears in the thread, so a successful retry on one character does not establish that the issue is resolved for everyone.

When play resumes: check credit, then report the blocked step

When play resumes, retry the gift dialogue with the quest still active and check whether the viewing objective gains credit. Abandoning the quest or reloading is not a verified fix: two October 5 testers say those attempts did not help their characters. The October 7 success reply does not say that either step was needed.

If the gift dialogue still gives no viewing credit after access reopens, report the exact step through the in-game bug-report tool with your faction, class and client build. Include whether the dialogue starts a view or leaves the objective unchanged. A screenshot or short capture of that step is more useful than repeating that the whole quest is broken.
