FS#7851 - loss/restart of of completed or in process quest when querying NPC for quests. Windows/linux/mac
Scenario: You have several in process quests, You go to NPC, look for list of quests. You pick, a quest offered by say Levrus, “more coal”. To you, it sounds like a new quest, so you click on it to see what it is. It then starts you over on that quest from the beginning. You completed and forgot that quest long ago, but it then gets deleted from your completed or in process quest list.
Unless you check all your completed or in process quests, you are doomed to repeat the entire quest.
If you have many quests done, you may think this is a new quest due to user memory loss, or similar titles of quests. In addition, quest notes are saved locally to a machine, so if you have several machines, or installing new OSs your notes don’t follow.
As an experienced player, I kept trying to please the guards for a pet for a long time before realizing this situation.
This would be really bad for new players, especially with similar sounding quests like Levrus's coal.
Hi, I don't understand what this report is about. Quests are not restarting if you complete those. The only exception are repeatable quests. These can be small requests from NPC to bring food or other items.
This quest is notorious for being full of loops that send you back to earlier parts of the quest/song. I suspect it's simply that causing the confusion.
