Tinkerfest 2013 Feedback & Bugs

    Tinkerfest is now active on Test & Beta!

    Like clockwork, Tinkerfest has returned! Take up your favorite wrench in celebration of all things gnomish, be they metal, combustive, mathematical, experimental, or a combination thereof! Adventures, rewards, buyables and crafted items await you, both new and familiar at Gnomeland Security, your headquarters for all things Tinkerfest, in Steamfont Mountains. Be warned though, Professor Whatzzit is looking for anyone brave enough to delve into Klak'Anon's Ulterior Mechanica, and Redd, an eccentric inventor, is working on a secret project in his workshop. There's no telling what could be behind that door!

    Is it possibly too late for Tinkerfest themed Player Studio works?
  4. Kaitheel Developer

    Please take particular note:
    Players that participated in Tinkerfest last year, did you get the new version of the in-game mail this time? (New one mentions Professor Whatzzit & Redd.)
  5. Kaitheel Developer

    I would assume so, due to how long I have observed it can take items to get through the process. But, I am not part of the process, nor directly involved with Player Studio. I would refer you to their forums.

    Tinkered Transmetal Switch is missing graphic (preview and placement)
  8. Bunji Developer

    I'll take a look...

    Update: This will be fixed next Test/Beta update. Thanks for reporting it!

    Other than that one, the other crafted stuff looks good on a quick run-through. I'll poke at the quests another time. Naptime!

    Quest issues:
    • "Foray Into Ulterior Mechanica" offered by Professor Whatzzit in Gnomeland Security
      I can't enter the zone after I blow up the vent pipe. It says it's unavailable.


    • "The Reticent Tinkerer" offered by Redd in Gnomeland Security
      I'm stuck with two levers and no place to put them. I can't see anything that seems to indicate where they might go.
  13. Estred Well-Known Member

    An exact date for such items was never mentioned by Covic or another developer, and I keep an eye on those forums. Syrah didn't say anything in the announcements either. We still can do Tinkerfest items. They just won't coincided with Tinkerfest.

    Here is the holiday corner in the HoT guildhall in Gorowyn displaying the new house items.
    The door isn't a door though:( just a decoration. I danced all over thinking i finally got something closer to my gorowyn door openings to use sigh, but it is still pretty cool looking:) I changed sign to read Tinkerer made house items sorry for any confusion.

    It's in there somewhere. Someone asked about getting items done in time for Tinkerfest and that was the recommended timeframe.
  16. Estred Well-Known Member

    Pretty sure it was Rawl who asked and the closer terms used may have been "about a month" not sure. Whichever I was busy graduating and passing my final classes so it's not a major heart breaker for me.

    I'm not finding a Pipe or a way up to release the Burble. Can anyone help me on this? I see a gear that is highlighted when you mouseover at -326.95, 93.24, 1375.94, but nothing happens when I release the Burble
  18. Absyntheea Well-Known Member

    Oh bummer.. We didn't get that set of metal tiles that are SC only.. :-/
  19. Samplesize Member

    Well ok, I saw a Hover Device behind the quest giver, but no mention in the quest that we are use it FOR that quest. Once you get up there, you can use the Burble. Now, you get the message "You lead your group into the instance, AND This instance is currently Unavailable" hehe *sigh* Hover Device is very nice for lower level people, to get there and back safely.

    Foray Into Ulterior Mechanica gives the mat for the new clothing recipes:( Zone is still unavailable .
    Can't find Redd either:(
