    My favorite "marks on the window" story has got to be with the space shuttle; one of their routine tasks was wiping the hand- and face-prints off the windows. :eek::):cool:

    Not sure how much relevance this has, but I self-mentored down from 100 to 25 in order to do the fast/easy "A Gigglegibber's Work is Never Done" in Butcherblock. As far as I knew, I'd done everything right; zoned in right, didn't have many weird lag spikes, etc., but when I'm killing the mountain shriekers for their "red dye" (ew), it won't let me loot, to wit: "You are too busy to loot right now. Obviously, you did something wrong, scumbag, how dare you? :p"

    I'd like to respectfully suggest that I didn't, but I'll see if I can loot the Shadesire defenders or not as well. :-/

    Brb... ;->

    EDIT: Okay, I couldn't loot the Shadesires either, just had to leave their bodies behind to rot. :( Also, the minute I'd gathered all the materials, I mentored back up to 100 and turned it in to Gh'lad Tydingz. He suggested I talk to G'shugahplum to get his "Feelin' Gifty in New Halas" quest. Well, G'shugah wasn't having any of it, just said hi, and that was it. Checked my Completed Quest list: nothing on there re: any of the "Feelin' Gifty" quests. I'd done a previous version of "Work" at level 95 yesterday, but I don't recall if I immediately followed it up with "Feelin' Gifty." I probably did (I have a lot of alts on Test!), but I don't see it listed anywhere as being current or finished. :(

    On a better note, it's cool to see that "Lost Frostfell Gifts," the NPC Guide quest, is now Repeatable; it didn't use to be, iirc. :)

    {Finally manages to NOT feel like she's going to cough up a lung at any moment}

    Any word on the final name/art/music for the snowglobe from Santa? (I notice that they stack today, at least, but the rest is still missing.)

    Glad you're improving! The damage that the Plane of Fire can do to lungs is not to be taken lightly.

    Unfortunately, no, not yet.

    The candy canes that the new cubes are digesting hugging appear to be too large for them. Is this intentional, so that the cubes can enjoy their candy canes much longer, or should these be shrunk down to fit nicely within the cube?

    They so spoil you Frostfell Elf!!!!
  10. Kaitheel Developer

    That's intentional design. Mid-consumption!

    As of yesterday's update, Test should have all of the changes I have made for Frostfell, so far.

    And let me take today to remind you all how thankful I am for all of you!

    Uwkete have you made sure your hidden quests are unhidden ?
    it can happen that repeatable quests go under ground and you can't find them in your journal anymore, unless you mark
    show hidden quests.
    I always make sure I don't have any quests up showing on the screen before I sign up for an event quest it will at least
    show up on my screen as a quest I follow hidden or not .

    Hmm...for me, hidden quests aren't nearly as deeply buried as hidden recipes; it just means that they're not displaying on the screen for my attention in the quest window, but they should still be there when I look in the Journal for them (with the check box unchecked, if they're hidden). Hunted around all over the place for it; nothing. :(

    Dude, you are so thorough! I had no idea...well, I knew about the music boxes, but not that I'd missed out on so many. :(

    I do think that next year, we could probably not necessarily bring back things that have shown up again and again and again and again and...I firmly believe, that for all the items that the code still exists for, they should be on the merchant once they're not being offered again as gifts.

    Saves more RNG room for the new stuff. ;->

    I find a lot, quests and recipes that are hidden, unchecking and rechecking the show hidden does not unhide them. I found the only way to find them, is to actually do the first step of the quest if it is a quest and see if the quest appears momentarily on your tracker with the update. For recipes, unless it is a quest recipe, I can never find them although sometimes going to a city crafting area or drop in uninvited into someone's public home or guildhall crafting areas will let the recipe show up.

    I had an entire Erollisi book disappear, I bought another and had it in my bags, but I could not scribe it and neither the book nor the recipes in the book were in my knowledge and I could not make the items required for one of the achievements. I had to go round and round with CS and finally get someone to come to me and look and re-add the book and recipes to my knowledge base.

    Are we there yet? Uwk is touching me!! Breanna needs the little girls room!! Are we there yet? Where are we going? Puhhhhlease tell me where we are going!! Are we there yet?
