Restoring the Statue's Magic Circle bugged green color

Title: Restoring the statue's magic circle in Kashaylan

Description: There's ABSOLUTELY NO QUESTION that the GREEN COLOR on this quest is bugged. This is the color that always makes me fail this quest. One try it works and the next try it says that I picked the wrong color. I've tested this over and over by doing nothing but waiting for the GREEN COLOR and picking only that one while ignoring every other color and it is CLEARLY BUGGED. I've also waited for the times where the GREEN COLOR was the first one to show up and it's always random whether it recognizes it or not. Either that or my color/texture files are corrupted and I'm seeing more than one color show up as green all the time. It might be my BLUE COLOR file is corrupted because I don't recall hardly ever clicking blue. I don't know but I would like a GM to PLEASE HELP ME COMPLETE THIS QUEST SO I CAN MOVE ON with my life! It's NOT ACCEPTABLE to spend hours and hours on one stupid buggy quest and be completely stuck on the main questline because of it! :cursing:

Ah fudge, please move this thread to the 'quest bugs' section. I think I placed it in the wrong section. AND PLEASE REPORT THIS QUEST FOR IMMEDIATELY FIX OR DELETION. Thank you.

You do realize that if you miss any, then, even if you get a color right you fail?

Please try to read carefully and understand my concerns. Yes I know that if you miss any you fail, that's one of the problems why this quest is so difficult. But that doesn't mean that if you miss the first one, that you can't still get nine of the rest, or if you miss the 6th one, that you can't be right on the first 5 and last 4. I deliberately ignored some colors just so I could test to see whether one color was bugged or not and there is clearly a problem with the green and blue colors not being distinct. In my screen both appear bright fluorescent green and I can't tell the difference.

I don't know whether my color/texture files are corrupted or not but either way it's making it impossible to do this quest atm. I know my ground textures, weapon skins files, and glows around lights and sparkles have been corrupted for a long time with one of the patches so maybe that might be related. I have no desire to go through the hassle of reinstalling this whole fing game when it's still playable, at least until now.

I wasn't trying to disregard your concerns. I was disproving your testing as you said you deliberately skipped colors waiting for the green. If you skip a color, you fail the next time you use a color. If yellow and green are showing as the same color, you were possibly getting the wrong one or missing it due to it being such a short interval.

Stop trying to be a genius because you have no idea what you're even talking about. You can skip colors at any time because THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'VE DONE FOR OVER AN HOUR while testing for just the green color and also to make sure they linked all the colors to the action bar properly! You can skip 9 colors and pick the last one right, but you still fail the quest. You also fail when you pick the wrong color, in which case it ends immediately and you need to retake it.

Ok i did the quest on 2 toons today and here is the things that helped me:

Remove guild name, character name and title name over the toons name
When standing in from of the tablet i turned my view a little to the right to see the tablet and not get blinded by some of the effects of the tablet

Took me 20 tries to figure that out and after that no issues for me to do it.

Also when you fail, sometimes when you pick bag the item from the NPC i go to try again and get : Target too far away, one toon got that 7 times in a row. I wonder if there is a timer to redo the quest or just random? i figured it out, when you pick the item again, make sure Mag is not your target anymore or else that is what happens ;-)

Hope this might help people with the quest
