    Happened just now, then took a little time to find this thread.
    Character: Yukaze, Server: Bristlebane

    When I zoned, the task Bloody Ears was missing from the list of quests in progress. The task is not in the list of available quests to try assigning it again, and it wasn't related to the task list refreshing. My time to next rotation is 8 hours and 12 minutes.
  5. Koryu Professional Roadkill

    And again.
    Character: Yukaze, Server: Bristlebane

    When I zoned, the task New Camp, Who is This? was missing from the list of assigned quests. The task was not added back to the list of tasks available to start, and the agents that were assigned to it have become Ready status for assignment to other tasks. Rotation hasn't happened yet, still 1 hour and 38 minutes.
    The game has eaten 2 tasks today in the same 12 hour rotation, giving me fewer task options to choose from. I don't have enough of the right agents to be bothered with starting any of the tasks still available to me.
  6. Yinla Ye Ol' Dragon

    Possible work around (though this bug is so random it my just be my luck)

    Trying to get a 6th quest seems to make all quests get recognised and therefore not disapear. Been doing this the last couple of days and nothing has disapeared or reappeared on my active quest list..... yet.

  7. dreadlord Augur

    Thanks for the tip - trying it now...

    Just lost 2 quests when changing toons - including a really good (in terms of for my agents - 100%) recruit quest
    That, and another 12 hr, just disappear - and disappear from the available list, so it's not like I can just redo them
    (why do recruit quests seem to be especially vulnerable? Or do I just notice them most because I value them most?)

    To address earlier points, the recruit was the 1st quest I did, so it's not just the last to be completed that poufs (in fact, the last to be set up, ofc a rubbish 'filler' one, is still there

    I waited 10 mins after setting up quests before logging - in the meantime doing fishing and foraging, so there were 'points' for it to be saved

    It's 10.20am here in the UK - the server certainly isn't overloaded

    This is very very annoying

    Too late to edit above post...
    Just tried this on 3rd account
    Zoned from lobby to Pok - 2/5 quests missing

    So it doesn't work (at least not reliably)

    EDIT. 2 hours ago I set up recruit quest on Acc1
    I then did other stuff on other accs. Return to Account1 and do other quests. Zone toon. Yes, the recruit quest is missing (along with one more)
    This is Not Fun
  9. Yinla Ye Ol' Dragon

    Forget this just lost one doing this, must have just been lucky the weekend.
  10. Gorehammer Lorekeeper

    I've been leaving my accounts logged in for hours after starting quests, but, just like a moment ago, even waiting 4+ hours before camping to char select resulted in 2 quests disappearing completely (with the recruitment not showing back up in the quest list). I'm going out of my mind with this. I may just start leaving my toons logged-in 24/7, or quit Overseer entirely.
  11. Koryu Professional Roadkill

    I don't think the problem is quests disappearing, I think they are failing to start in the first place. If you zone, check Overseer, and see all 5 quests started, then all 5 should be available to claim once their timer finishes. But sometimes you can start 5 tasks, zone, and some of the tasks you started will no longer be available. The task is not in the Active Quests tab, the agents that were assigned are now freed up, and the task is no longer in the list of available quests. Always check after setting/starting tasks, don't wait until timers complete to see how many you'll get today.

    [IMG]Seems to happen less often now than when overseer first launched, but it still happens. I usually only claim and start new quests once a day.
  13. dreadlord Augur

    This is not getting any better
    Really grumpy about this this morning....
    On Acc 1 I've had a whole bunch of agents disappear (Bug1) which makes getting useful quests harder
    So I spend a fair bit of time in PoK getting 5 decent quests going
    Zone to lobby
    3/5 quests missing - including the recruit quest. (Bug2) The recruit quest has poufed on this acc 9/10 x over the past few days. I usually do this 1st as this is the most important to me, but have tried doing it 2nd/third etc - makes no difference
    Zone (to check that I do still actually have quests) - again, 2 missing. Struggling to find ones I can do
    Rinse repeat
    Give up

    None of the workarounds that I've tried/folk have suggested work
    We need help on this

    So ... completed my 5 overseer quests and started 5 new quests. After Zoning 3 of the already finished quests reappeared and 1 of the 5 new quests disappeared, so i made a new one, zoned again and again 1 of the already finished quests reappeared .... but i had 5 new quests after all ....

    ... this does not seem to be fixed at all ....

    Did mine this morning, lost 3 quests out of the 5 I just started after zoning. :rolleyes:

    Either fix isn't working or someone forgot to push it live with yesterdays patch.
  16. Mikana Augur

    Logged on last night after the patch, cleared all tasks down. Started five new tasks. Logged on this morning, Active Tasks was at 6 out of 5.

    On the plus side, after the patch, I was finally able to run the Common Conversion task about five times to clear the backlog of Agents that it wouldn't let me use before.
  17. Omegga Elder

    Its not only logging, its zoning that it happens. It seems that they are not always saving right away. And its not always the last quest you start that disappears.

    The bug with missing overseer quests is still occurring. I log out with 5 quests running, log back in to see only 4 sometimes.
  20. Nennius Curmudgeon

    And here. On both characters. Sometimes though I will log back on and find six quests completed. Odd stuff.
