    I had this happen Friday and Saturday, post patch. One quest has returned on Saturday (The 6/5 dealy from above), I haven't had 1 failure added to my stats window.

    I had one disappear today when i logged in my character showed only 4 quests
  3. MiataDriver Augur

    Yeah, had 4 quests vanish on one account, 2 on another, and 1 on the third account. This has gotten much worse than it was prior to the patch.
  4. MiataDriver Augur

    As far as I can tell the vanishing quests is completely random. Prior to the last patch, I would see one quest vanish once in a while out of 3 accounts. It would generally show back up at some point later on. Today, I had 4 missing on 1 account, 1 missing each on my other 2 accounts when I checked this morning. This evening, none have come back, and I am missing 1 more quest on the account that lost 4. I cannot come up with any steps to reproduce this as it is totally random, and happening very often now.

    It does not appear to be specific quests, it appears to be completely random. It is happening all the time, and is much much worse post patch. I know how frustrating it is to find a bug you can';t reproduce, but I just can't see how this one is not reporducible, unless you are running in a very different environment. Literally, all I do is two to three times a day, on three accounts, grab any recruit quests that are available, fill up with high success rate 6 hour quests, and pick others to fill it out to 5 per account.
  6. MiataDriver Augur

    No, the quests are disappearing, it's pretty easy to tell because they come back later. I have had as many as 8/5 active quests.

  7. MiataDriver Augur

    OK, so it appears now they no longer reappear, the quests are just gone. I have lost 8 quests since yesterday between 3 accounts, none have shown back up. Failure rates are 0 on two accounts, so definitely not failed quests.
  8. Moege Augur

    logged in this morning with 8 completed quests.

    We have not been able to reproduce this internally.

    Can anybody provide additional information including character/server/server time that can help us find the problem? Feel free to message me privately.

    Page before this I have posted my log for my vanishing quests, the final one I posted on there I had to do 10 quests before I got 5 that stuck

    Lost all 5 from yesterday, been losing 2-3 a day since the last patch and unlike before they are not coming back
  15. cadres Augur

    Only lost one since the patch, which is a massive improvement; whatever you did worked for at least some of us
  16. Diptera Augur

    ^ this - don't think I've seen any vanish for a while now.
    Still get the occasional "could not start" task issue.
  17. cadres Augur

    Yes, I've had a few of those, but not as many and they haven't persisted
    I do still get odd numbers of agents, especially common ones - one day it will say 6 of x agent, next day 2 - for not apparent reason. This is sometimes, but not always, linked to the not starting issue
  18. Yinla Ye Ol' Dragon

    Seems for some they made it worse, but for others they made it better.
  19. Krool Lorekeeper

    Last night I had 5 active quests and was alt+tabbing between windows. Caused EQ to hard crash to desktop. When I logged back in the 5 active quests disappeared.
  20. cadres Augur

    It got better
    Today I have missing quests again (set 5 active 6 hours ago; log in again - both 6 hour quests missing)
    I really don't want to have to go back to the whole do tasks/zone/redo tasks/zone/redo tasks/zone etc etc that took a huge chunk of each day
    Also have had lots of 'cannot start quests' errors - always because the quest window shows agents I do not have - eg 6 mermaids instead of the 4 that I actually have. There seems no way to fix this other than hoping it goes away at the next rotation.

    Has something been changed to make all these bugs proliferate again??
