The Winch -- What are they thinking?

[Allive]

or have you tried c cant figin get it even though we have done all bd quests and all quests related to government officials oh and also most other quests in the game.

Does Winch access at all depend on any quests where the relevant NPC only ever gives it out once (or where the lock-out is greater than a month)?

The reason I ask is that the NPC who gives the quest ending in a two-horned helm (figured putting it that way wouldn't spoil or reveal their identity!)... doesn't seem to give the quest again... even after two months.

I of course asked GMs... but unfortunately they don't seem to know or have access to that information.

This is a bug, it is bugged for some of you. Bugged. There is a bug. There is a problem. This does not work for everyone. There is a break down in the system. There is an issue. There is a complication. This winch access has trouble. Some worries developed as a result of these quests. Technical difficulties. No easy fix presents itself.

Please, dev attentioned is now as always focused on the major issues, this is one of them, be patient. No one is going to add anything that will be at all helpful to us on this bug. We know what the problem is, it will take time to make it right.

Rant on!

When the bug is fixed. Will someone let us know that it is fixed.  That would be soo much help. That way we don't wasts time trying to do quests that are bugged when we could be having fun in rp. Most of us just would like to be informed,  to spend less time frustrated in game and more time having a bit of fun. Thank you all so much.

You can read the cvs history and look for when the bug is fixed most devs dont have time to let everyone know when they fix a bug.

[Xillix Queen of Fools]

for this one i will probably let you all know when a fix is in.

[drah]

Any news???

[Caarrie]

Nope

[LARAGORN]

How 'bout now ? 

[Karyuu]

Xillix is very responsible when it comes to his work - he will definitely notify you of changes when they happen. Make some tea (or plant some coffee) and let him continue please :]

[Xillix Queen of Fools]

Watching this thread like a mother hen, will inform you immediately when it is fixed. The whole thing is more complex than you realize. 

[LARAGORN]

I understand these things take time, I was just playing with the impatient folks

[drah]

Xillix,

Could you say... what format the quest dates are stored in and whether the problem is corrupted data or a problem with date differences being calculated by the PS server... or a problem where some quests are interfering with the time-based conditions of other quests?

How complex is it?  and what's actually causing some of these quests to become seemingly unrepeatable?

[Caarrie]

The problem is with how the server sets the lockouts and timeouts for each quest and each player. This is a server side bug that the devs will work on fixing before the next release is due out.

to know more you may apply to the team . . .

other than that only patience will aid you.
