FS#6573 - Store Quest Notes in the Books Database
I would like to request that saved quest notes be moved from client side into the book database. currently the quest notes are saved locally and are very vulnerable frequently getting deleted during client repair or re installs. additionally for players who have more than one computer these notes do not properly persist between clients.
considering that players are already allowed to write books and that text data takes up very little space there is really no reason NOT to move this feature server side.
another major issue with the current implementation is that the quest’s description is missing a lot of key information provided by the npc conversation such as names and locations.
a perfect example is the quest Masked Mistress where the description tells you the summary however does not include her brothers name which is given in the npc dialogue.
the lost of quest notes can easily render a quest impossible to complete without asking a person for spoilers or searching through game logs for the missing conversation.
Two separate issues, and should be separate bug reports. If you feel the server-generated quest step notes are incomplete, file a separate bug report for each such instance, and Settings dept. can fix those up quickly.
Server-side storage of player's hand-entered notes is an engine dept. matter. An alternative might be to store them client-side in a location that's easier for players to copy to other computers.
Additionally, in game you can create a petition about quest issues and Venalan will see it and address it.
