Broken questlines hotfix

Since this wasn't posted on the U.S. forums:

Posted by Heijoshin.



"Hi everyone,

Just some info regarding the broken quests.

While it is planned to fix several quest lines which are currently bugged in order to enable all of our players to proceed with their questing, we are currently not able to give you any specific ETA for it.

Of course, as soon as the hotfix has been completed, tested and verified, we will apply it and will keep you updated.

Thanks for your patience and your understanding."




Uh, tested? As has been proven by every patch ever released, the content is never tested. Anyways, doesn't look like they'll be getting fixed any time soon. Yay broken game will stay forever broken!!

I broke it....sorry :( I was the first one there, I clicked on him and put the items on the corpse, then i got ported up to the top of the ring and sismond said 2 lines, then everything just... stopped.
I was stuck there as you do in a lot of the big quest scenes and had to stuck report to escape the quest trap.... When i went back again I got the same message you did :P

So , the Jill quest is fixed, talk to her about 10 times and it works, however what about the quest that was droppepd that couldnt be picked up again? Still waiting for that quest to reappear on my map.

The quest I'm talking about is the one with no name, that you get on a questline dealing with the evil wizard duude.

I have done all the quests there are to be done, so they are doable, although not glitch-free. And, yes, like many others, stuck at the end of quest chain. Silly Sismond and his performance anxiety.

Meanwhile, I think the hotfix was to install additional spawning scripts. Thus we appear to have "revenge of the cows quest" syndrome. Remember when cows and richies were spawning out of control? Well, Reni is swarming with elementals now in similar way. Fun.

Working well for Destroyers, though.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

To the Quality Assurance Team (assuming Gameforge didn't fire all of them too):

Can you please start testing zones before you release them? It would take all of one or two days to get through a new zone on a geared DPS...is it really that hard to spend a short amount of time making sure quests aren't bugged? The ones that were released with Chrysalia and now Merdhin aren't hard to miss...they literally stop you from progressing. Seriously, what is the point of rushing content if it's going to be broken? I'd rather have waited another month for unbugged content than be stuck in the quest line several times.

Haven't been to see the elementals in Chrysalia since the "fix," but I remember how badly you botched the cows during that festival. I'll be sure and avoid that area at all costs; I can do without the XP/TP debt.

They don't have personnel to check new zones and all quests in timely manner, so decision is not to test it at all.

We had this discussion many times before with our friendly QA mentor. (haven't seen him in a while)

It's not unheard of, nor unusual for a company to arrange a team of volunteers to closed beta a new zone or expansion. No need to pay them, just throw them a couple of item shop goodies & a nondisclosure agreement and everything should go smooth-ish.

I do remember that Froggie did have a closed beta months before ch. 3 or 4(?) was released. I don't think that really helped much since a lot of the bugs that were reported weren't fixed.

Volunteers would not be the problem, but communication back to developer. Swag talked about this, as well that we can just imagine how many doors he had to open to enable Owenstein, and took them a week or two to trash it.

Things are moving from bad to worst second time since I am here...
