after you'd exhausted to move while riding, and you've unmounted and dismissed your pet, you can't move until client restart.

How to reproduce:
1. mount your pet
2. ride on it while you exhausted to move
3. run shortcut:

/unmount
/pet ID, dismiss

4. you see your physical stamina is full and you can't sit or move anywhere.

PS: if you is not exhausted to move, this bug not occurs.

How to reproduce:
do something which require much physical stamina: move many stuff in your bag, do something at anvil or something another.
and then run following commands:
/sit
/unmount
/target <PET NAME>
/mount ←– here your physical stamina will be full!!!
/stand

It would be cool to have a new option for the /pet command to loot selected targets

i.e.: /pet Bob, loot

Could be very useful for an archer. Just like a dog for real hunters.

When a player summons a mount (creature to ride on), eventually the creature disappear depending on how high Empathy skill is.

When trying to use the RING Of SUMMON FAMILIAR again, it says it's depleted and can't be used.

Please kindly create an ALERT in the MESSAGE TAB of chat telling player how much time remaining is left to wait for the ring to be used again with a countdown and then a sound effect that reminds the player that magical energy is now regenerated in ring.

I've just tested some Pet commands (by using a summoned familiar) and the following commands don't seem to reach the familiar NPC:
/pet [name,] assist
/pet [name,] guard
/pet [name,] run
/pet [name,] walk

Please note the Minion behaviour used for pets is using almost the same data in SVN. The steps I used to replicate the bug:
1. summoned a familiar
2. issue a command /pet [name,] follow/stopattack/stay/run/walk
3. use the /info command to know the last perceived command.

When reaching step 3 the info command should show something like that:
(12:08:36) [System] >Last perception: ownercmd:stopattack
instead for the above commands an error message is outputted (just like the command was wrongly typed or isn't recognized).

By using the percept command on the NPC like /percept ownercmd:run the behaviour is correctly run and works as expected.

Also please note that assist/guard commands appear in the help.xml file while the new run/walk don't.

the command "/pet Petname, dismiss" stopped working in the last few days.

"/pet $number, dismiss" does not work either.

The following does work:

/target Petname
/pet dismiss

Hi,
it would be nice if you could lend/rent your mount to other people. This could be made with a dialog box that appears when someone wants to /mount the pet (”Foo wants do ride your pet NameofThePet, allow?”), similar to challenges/trades. If this is implemented there should of cause be auto-accept/deny.

Now that we have a working pet AI that can properly follow a player it may be an appropriate time to suggest the addition of something to cater to tradesmen such as traveling merchants and miners who are frequently overloaded by the weight of their inventory.

There is already evidence of large beasts of burden and carts in game and it may be time to implement Pack Animals or a small cart you can pull yourself to increase your overall carrying capacity. aside from the obvious utility value it would also add some RP value allowing merchants to sell directly out of their carts and have enough inventory on hand to negotiate deals along the roads.

no task description

Pet follows properly after summoning or after telling it to follow. Whenever Damola moves the pet follows.

However once I told it not to follow anymore, whenever I tell it follow again, it follows to the current location of Damola, but does not continue following. I.e. it only follows one time and not until told otherwise. But only after having been told not to follow once.

Every time I unmount and mount again it adds another about 90 degrees so that after four times the char sits on the mount in almost correct orientation again.

Tested on Rivnak and Drifter.

However after dismissing a pet and summoning it again once after logging in, the sitting position keeps locked. But only if the character mounted it once before dismissing the pet for the first time.

So or so there is something off with the sitting position of the char on a mount after the first unmount and mount again cycle.

# Expected result

Character always sits on the mount in correct orientation.

If you fall from a height, fall damage and body development is not calculated while on a mount.

Talking to Menita and confirming the quest with “I will try” crashes the server.

Issue: Harnquist regularly calls “Blades, shields, repair kits! Get them here!”. If you are collecting a quest from Harnquist, his regular cry can replace a page of his dialog providing the quest information and there’s no way to get back to the page of dialog that was replaced.

His regular cry should be supressed whenever a player is talking to him, so the player can read all the information he is providing.

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.

The quest objective is to help a certain NPC find a missing object, that's what my char agreed to do. After finding the object and proceeding to final steps I suddenly receive a ready-made line "X listens to your story" and find my char spilling its friend and ally's whereabouts to X, with me having absolutely no means to prevent or stop it. Honest, it feels like being godmodded by the quest system and is awfully disappointing, to say the least. It also clashes with the general idea of quests being done ICly.

Dear Devs, please add a "not squealing" option, something like "I've just found it somewhere" and let the player deal with one of the main ingame alignments (Law) according to that player's RP. The way it is done now, it's not C&C, it's M&C, having to bear with consequences of the game mechanics, and somehow it doesn't feel right… at all.

PS Ver: 0.5.3

(Edited for clarity.)

Currently when an NPC doesn't have a quest for player, they essentially ignore the player. This can be bad because:

1) Sometimes (e.g. the circle way quests) this comes across as a bug since the player has been directed to talk to the NPC by another.

2) It's not always (in fact generally not) a realistic behaviour from a charactization PoV.

3) The chain quests are now very long and not obvious, so players have no idea what to do next.

4) It may be something else besides more quests that is necessary. How are players to know?

I think this should be changed, and propose the following dynamic as a possibility:

A "sociability" metric would be calculated for each interaction between player and NPC based on:
factions, prerequisites required for quests, and a base number assigned to each NPC. This metric will indicate how well-disposed the NPC is towards giving quest info the player at this time. Depending on this metric (lets say a number from 0-5) the NPC could say something (or ignore the player if the number is 0). The higher the number, the more useful and specific is the response.

Some characters are grumpy by nature and will almost always ignore people or give gruff responses (like now). Many are just typical and will offer canned default responses, expect that for the higher metrics these will hint that they will have something for you later. Ideally the highest metric will look up who gives the pre-requisite quest and direct you there.

Each quest could specify overrides for any of the responses.

I must say that this quest is quite disappointing. After a promising and very good beginning the whole story is cut short in an odd way. I think the plot would deserve some development as the beginning is really good.

Most quests start with an intro and a confirmation for the player to accept the quest. For those that have skill requirements and/or time locks, instead of hiding the quest completely, perhaps it would be better to expose such quests when the character is otherwise qualified (e.g completed other quests in the chain) and do the skill / time check in the intro steps and have the NPC inform the character that they need to practice more before they can continue, or say something along the lines of "too busy right now, come back tomorrow". This way the player will know the quest is there, and get a hint of what they need to do. Going around and touching all the NPC's and finding nothing just feels like a bug when one knows there should be quests out there someplace.

I think it would be a great feature to make a new type of NPC quests on working title "Skill quests".
It would work similar to the current quests are being developed, so you can get repeatable quests from NPCs regarding to your current skill levels, like cooking/baking quests from Harnquist.

These skill quests would repeat daily (or in any other considered time periods) and crafters could pick orders up from their trainers or other NPCs.
NPC places an order on crafting a certain item that player need to craft and would get huge amount of SKILL PRACTICE as reward for fulfilling the order.

It wouldn't touch the current skill progression system, so someone could 'grind' a skill if they wish to do that.
But we all know, how slow it is now to progress in any crafting skill.

See an example:
The rule settings team think, someone has spent 3 months with developing their blades making skill, should be at level 100 in blades making without grinding.
If a player would play regulary and come back on 60 days, and does the skill quests from NPC, they would get enough skill practice to reach level 100.

Let's say the next level of the skill would take 2 hours of mindless grinding.
But if the player would come back regulary and would do the skill quest, they could reach the same level with making (let's say) 3 products for order.
The items to be crafted would also be different, regarding to the skill level of the player and what items are craftable in the skill.
So, a player would be asked to make a sabre, a falchion, an axe or a shortsword for example.

The advantage of the extended system would be:
- rule settings developers could define a minimum time within someone should reach a certain level in their skill
- the players wouldn't need to grind all playing time spent in PS to reach their skill levels, so they could role play more or work on other skills
- the players would come back more regulary to develop their favorite skills, because the quests would repeat daily

Sometimes when talking to an NPC during a quest, it’s not obvious that saying something will end it early. For example, in the Dizzy Bevon quest, telling Charisa that you can’t get into the Winch abruptly ends it. Meaning you will never see the rest of that quest, even if you get Winch access. I thought that she would wait instead, which would be more fair to players. Apparently this game wasn’t as forgiving as I imagined. Failing quests is especially annoying when it involves typed answers too, where a typo or not being specific enough will cost you the quest. (Even if you knew the right answer.)

First of all, I feel there shouldn’t be an option to finish a quest early unless you fail, the options being either you complete it fully or save it for later. This would be much more player-friendly. I didn’t even fail the quest, I just couldn’t get into the Winch. I feel like I was punished for being honest, and possibly have missed out on some reputation forever.

Who in the right mind would back out of a quest after accepting it, anyway? I doubt anyone does it intentionally. These sorts of choices should be greatly reduced. It only makes sense during evil quests where you might feel bad about what you’re doing. If someone is feeling lazy or is busy, then they can complete the quest later, like in any other game. If these dialog options are going to remain in the game, then it may be better if they had a warning such as (ENDS QUEST), while the true ending of the quest could say (COMPLETES QUEST). This would help players avoid making infuriating mistakes like mine.

Secondly, sometimes it is too easy to fail a quest when typed answers are involved. In the Stolen Dagger (sp?) quest from Ojaveda where you have to tell Enach what it looked like, if you say “diamond”, or “diamonds”, instead of “diamonds and opals”, you will get the uneventful ending. This is made even more ridiculous because the answer is in your quest log, so it shouldn’t be possible to get it incorrect anyway. But you only get one chance. Basically, I feel quests that rely on typed text should be more forgiving, because sometimes it’s not about whether you’re right or wrong. Rather, it may depend on how many variations of the correct answer there are, so a lot of the time it isn’t the player’s fault. Sure, maybe “diamond” isn’t that specific, but it definitely narrows it down. If I say diamond, Enack should say something like “Anything else?”.

I’ve completed the child quest that looks for the Boss around Gugrontid, but Sapling of Xiosia hasn’t completed as well.

Noriko has been doing a lot of quest testing lately, and has found a number of quests where quest notes should be added so that returning players (or those who don’t use their logs) can pick up where they left off. I’ll pass along what she’s put in the petitions to this report.

*Road to Master Cook Chapter One
*Road to Master Cook Chapter Two
*Road to Master Cook Chapter Three
*Road to Master Cook Chapter Four

In each case, the quests notes are very good except when Mirra first gives the quest. The notes only include a generic line about helping Mirra be a better cook, and fail to mention where she’s sent you or what she wants.

*Helping Mirra

No useful quest notes at all.

*Where the Courier Went

Once the player gets the name Shian Sulkin it should probably be added to the quest notes, in case logs aren’t available.

I’ll add more as they’re reported.

The quest has a number of triggers that must be completed in order to progress that do not appear to be working in Unreal. The three I’ve found are:

1) Proximity to the rock with the action location that moves players into the cave,

2) Use of a cog/mechanism, moving one of the rocks, and

3) Solving the door puzzle and entering the small room.

I’m not sure if these are supposed to complete steps that are not sequential with the immediately previous steps, or if they are meant to set variables, but either way they don’t seem to be doing the job. Talking to Raithen gives no sign that you’ve completed any of these tasks, even if you’ve done them all.

I can get players past this by setting a later step manually, but given the (suspected) use of variables or non-sequential steps, it seems likely I’ll just mess things up for them.

The quest “Beer Tasting Event” (that I understand is the one to start into the Brewing skill) is not working as intended.

OBSERVED:
~~~~~~~~~

When I initiate the quest dialog in the interaction menu with a double click on the option
“You brew ales and beers I see, and smell.”

the quest master replies with the generic
“Looks like you are in search of fame and honour. Unfortunately I have not tasks to help you in that.”

The quest is not taken up accordingly.

EXPECTED:
~~~~~~~~~

The quest dialogue should be properly initiated and a quest log entry should appear after that.

In some quests there is a delay before you can talk to an NPC again. One example of this is Its Gone Bad. In Legacy the players got a message like “You have to wait for 10 minutes before you can continue this quest.” so that they knew what was going on, but in PSU they don’t get the message.

Admittedly, the message is very OOC, but without it there’s no way for a player to know why they cannot proceed with the quest. If the messages cannot be restored, maybe a line of dialog from an NPC saying that they’ll have more to say later?

when completing a quest with a “choose your reward” section at the end, if you don’t select a reward before clicking “Select a reward” it doesn’t stop you before continuing or give you a default reward, it just completes without giving you any of the possible rewards.

When a friend completed the “Levrus Rat Eyes” quest, she forgot to select a reward before clicking “Select a reward” and received none of the options given.

The quest option advised by Sharven (”[…] HE has decided […]”) is correctly presented by the interaction menu,

but on selection it is not recognised by Roniston (”[…] You could ask me to tell you about something, perhaps?”)

Quest progression is thereby blocked the Keen Edge chain broken again (after yesterday’s fix of “Slimy Doubt”).

In Fishing Lessons for Fish, the quest dialog does not match the quest notes for that particular task. In one possible task the player is told to get 6 eels and 7 manta rays, but the quest notes say 7 eels and 6 manta rays. The player seemed to indicate that it was the notes that were wrong, but isn’t online for me to double-check.

legacy allowed to discard repeatable quests

After getting the quest from Roya go to Brado and tell him “You might find this useful to you.”. He will not answer (or rather the anwser is empty) and you can not continue the quest.

quest deliver a letter, from krestal dhusho does not complete. delivery to mr yasoj completes without words. but the letter to kora windstone is rejected. she does not accept the letter at all and krestal dhusho is unable to complete the quest without that delivery being accepted.

Quest: The Arrivals
Entering and completing the lava cave isn’t recognized by Raithen. I’ve been there twice, but only used the exit once after crossing the magic stones.

The option “I’ve made my choice” appears only when you leave the Quest dialog, and initiate it anew.

After Telzanna tell about a profession (my character chose cook), the options to ask her about other professions do not appear again.

As reported by Stalfos

“Something’s Brewing” If you accept Narwin’s drink ““Thought you’ nev’ offer!…” the other option doesn’t disappear: “How many times must I tell you,…” you can’t get the kegs until you click it. Later Jarda also has both options available, the drunken and sober speech options.

“Kimlorm Needs a New Prayer Book”, “Kimlorm sent me” remains an option after you have clicked it.

The quest Right on the Mine uses a quest item named Hamel Provision and at one point it’s supposed to be given to Gardr. Currently that does not happen. The quest will progress, but the quest item remains stuck in the inventory. It can be placed into storage, but otherwise there’s no way to get rid of it.

The Conclave of Glyphs faction does not seem to have been set properly when characters were imported from Legacy. In all characters I’ve checked, the faction is not even shown as discovered. I suspect the import script may have added the faction points to the wrong faction, most likely to Conclave of the Glyphs (the “the” isn’t needed).

Further, I noticed that while a few quests in the Conclave of Glyphs category assigned faction to the faction of that name, most gave the faction points to Conclave of the Glyphs. Specifically, the quests that are giving faction points to the wrong faction are:

Kimlorm Needs a New Prayer Book
Murago Puntjal’s Quick Favour
A Message for Dsar Sarraghi
Little White Lies
A Mysterious Disease
Grimal’s Tribute to Talad
A Dwarf’s Wish

The quest Something’s Brewing is placed in the Conclave of the Glyphs category, but gives faction points to Merchant Syndicates, which has the slight issue of not existing.

In the quest Lorytia Starhammer and the Clan reunion Lorytia mostly uses "ye" instead of "you". But the use is not consistent throughout the quest. You'd think that if she regularly says "ye" she'd not switch to "you" for a sentence or two in between, sometimes even switching back and forth within one sentence.

f.e.:
"That is very kind; I thank you. Here is the note: just tell him I sent you."

"Oh, I am sorry, you are still here… do you want to hear what happened?"

"I know ye worked very hard on your piece for the competition and you should have won. I take full responsibility for shortchanging you on the scores."

"He may have some means to get them prepared for you, but ye might make your journey faster if you have them on hand."

There might be more later in the quest, but I'm not done yet.

Upon completion of the without a way quests ( In my case Crystal Way ) govell sends me to Levrus log:

[NPC] Govell Mihdren says: This will prove the mastery you gained in the Crystal Way.
(06:14:52) [NPC] Govell Mihdren says: Make a good use of it, Resildren.
(06:14:55) [NPC] Govell Mihdren says: And take this.
(06:14:58) [NPC] Govell Mihdren hands you an amulet.
(06:15:00) [NPC] Govell Mihdren says: Bring it to Levrus, one final lesson awaits you there.

but Levrus will not accept it, to make sure I completed my leveling (200) and returned, and he will still not accept it?

I’ve talked to other masters of the other ways and this seems to be a global problem, is this just not implemented yet, or is it a bug?

Approaching Stalg does nothing to the quest, can’t complete.

if an npc synonym occurs in a quest trigger, it'll break that trigger because incoming messages will be replaced by the more_general value while the trigger still expects synonym.
therefore the quest parser should refuse such quests as they're obviously broken or at least throw a warning about such occurrences.

A general problem with the quest menu system at the moment is the speed at menu disappear. The problem occurs in the following situation.

All the following is within one step in the following format.

Player gives NPC 1 item.
Menu: text.
NPC: text.
Menu: No. Menu: Yes.
NPC: text.
NPC: text.
Give 1 Melorick's Scroll Case.
Assign Quest.

You give the npc the item.
The initial npc text appears.
Once they have finished talking the next two menus appear, but before you are able to click on the menus the menus vanish.
This results in you losing the item needed to trigger the quest/step and are unable to repeat it.
This was only became a problem with the introduction of the 'bubble' menu system.

There are many time in quests and KAs when they have the same trigger, for example “about armor” or “about apples”.

When you click a quest menu (or type some text to an NPC) the first dialogue(s) to be searched should be quests and if a matching trigger is found the quest menu should be sent, then if nothing is found in a quest it should search KAs. What is currently happening when you have two or more matching triggers you are getting a random choice between the quest response and the KA response. This results in players getting what seems to be a response from the NPC but the quest does not continue.

Redo quest/events implementation to send/receive, also remove XML.

Several players of old characters who had a Groffel as pet before the quest wipe, and have to redo the pet quest, are unsatisfied that they don’t get a Groffel again, but a Yulbar instead. See: Status of Our Old Pets

May be that Yulbars didn’t exist at all when they got their pet.

May be that Yulbars are somehow preferred now, or there are just no complaints about Groffels so there is a bias about it.

Would it be possible (without extreme efforts) to ensure that redoing this quest creates the same pet race as before? Or would it be possible in cases of old characters redoing the quest after years that they are allowed to chose the race — for emotional reasons?

I've done them…several times, and frankly I'm tired of seeing them offered. Could we have a setting for "Hide Completed Repeatable Quests" that we could enable to stop them form showing up? At least in one case, an NPC has enough repeaters that they show first and new quests are pushed to the 2nd page in NPC Dialog view. If one overlooks the page arrow, one might miss the other offerings.

Filed as Feature Request in Engine > Quest Dynamics…please move it if that's wrong.

There are quests with almost no automatic quest notes documenting the progress, except for the first note describing the purpose of the quest. This is especially annoying when you have to get a specific number of items and need to scan your logs, like in old times before automatic quest notes were implemented…

Open quests are in italics, the rest is already completed.

• A Hammer for Hamel (Hamel Warson; only 2 notes, the second is confusing - sounds as if the quest failed)
• Drinks in the Deep (Crosh Dunehammer)
• Get a Performance (Roya Vuntarr; just started, but already missing a log of the direction where to go)
• Harnquist Weapon Commission (Harnquist)
• Introduction to Science (Durok Rrecrok)
• Ring of Familiar (Levrus; just started, but already missing a log of the required ingredients)

When showing Levrus the Bronze Bands you can ask him to remove the magic, but when you return them to Nalri there are only options to say “You must see Levrus, he will remove the magic” Or “If you stay away from the objects, it will go away”
