Yesterday I had a quest reappear and had 6/5 active quests and 2 of them had the same iconic agent in it which obviously shouldn't be possible. I just now had a recruit fighters task vanish that I started this morning and considering how rare those tasks are, I really hope it reappears but I'm not hopeful.
As much great fun as this new addition to the joy that is EverQuest [Thank you again Developers], I agree that this is discouraging. My only work around is leaving every account with a quest running online until all quests are complete. I've found no other option to avoid this. Thank you FORUM TROLL for opening up this issue in the forums. I''m betting this will be fixed before the COVID19 is.
If this is of any help to narrow down the issue, I happens to me with any kind of task, but it happens ALWAYS with recruit tasks, for a week or two now. Get the task, zone, see the task is lost (no longer in the list of active tasks, not in the list of available tasks), and the agents assigned to it return to idle. It does not matter how long I wait until I zone, it could be immediatly, after a few minutes, or a few hours. This is quite frustrating, as the recruitment tasks are quite rare...
Any progress with this? Logged out to 5 runninmg quests last night, just 4 of them going this morning. No information on what happened to the 5th.
Not fixed yet. Lost an active Common Recruitment quest. Two things happened between the last time I saw it and when I noticed it was gone. One was I crashed, although not for long because all my summoned stuff was still there, and the other was the quests rotated.
What your Overseer quest window might look like after you've logged in and opened Overseer and some quests that had gone missing a few days (or weeks) ago have re-appeared under the Active Quests tab:
Glad to know this is happening to others as well. Had an elite Recruitment task vanish on me, I was really disappointed =/
