  • Confusing statement in today's patch message...

    *** Tradeskills ***

    - New Cultural Symbol QUESTS have been implemented. At this time it is only the quests, and not the other upcoming cultural drop changes. If you still have one of the old quests they can still be completed. The NPCs will still respond. The target NPCs are still up and still dropping the items as they were before. You just will not be able to get the new quests any more as the NPCs will now only give out the new quests.
    Ok the last sentence needs clarification. Sounds like the NPC only offers new quest yet we *can't* get the new quest?

    I'm guessing it should have read "...get the old quest any more..."

    That must be a typo -- but it would be good to have confirmation.

      Just ran the patcher a while ago, the message has been revised including clarification to the above line. You can't get old quests anymore, only new ones. You can still finish the old quest if you got it before the patch.

        Classically bad SoE representative grammar. Now if we could just get them to do something about all the places they use 'their' as a singular pronoun. . . This error appears just simple thought to keyboard transposition but the deliberate use of 'their' in the singular (such as "Roanne is being transported to their home city.") is just unforgivable ignorance.

          It's definitely a typo. Should read old for that first new.

            So, speaking of those new quests, has anyone tried them yet? They are now universal for all races, right?

              Not universal but there are some cultural groups sharing tasks: my dark elf, wood elf, and high elf all have the same augment tasks. My froggy has a different set of tasks, my Vah Shir a different set yet, and I'm waiting to hear from my friend the Barbarian what zones his tasks are in.

              At the moment I'm messing around with the easiest elfin task to see what a book impression update looks like.

                It is size based

                And yeah. We go through a process where when I make the changes I make a patch note and send it to QA with the changes.

                I noticed my mistake AFTER I sent it, but it was too late

                I asked the person that finalizes the patch messages to get it out on 7/2 because I knew that they would just copy and paste my note and I wanted to change it, and I would be out 7/3 (Ogre Mother in town!!) I was promised it would happen It didn't I get into work yesterday and the patch is out, and I see the mistake in the patch message look at my email, and the patch message was not sent out for review until 4:30 7/3 made me sad

                      You guys know we always have to read between the lines, and run our own spell checks (if your anal about spelling). Ogre's are not the best at composition and spelling.

                          Well at least you can find Sarnaks, I went into DN last night trying to get the second part of my quest done; spent two hours killing every Chetari I could find (in all of the caves that I could find) and didn't find or spawn even one Chetari Warrior (which is needed for the quest); perhaps they are hiding, but that zone is nutty with all of the 100% debuff traps, crazy stuff! Least it’s a bit more fun than killing a load of wurms in Skyfire, haha.

                          Aina~

                            I just got the new Eminent (sp) quest on the progression server. The first part is to kill 20 (a strong sentinel), the second part is to get 5 chest etchings from a strong sentinel. We recieved a book that says is to get etchings when we recieved the quest but cannot for the life of us figure out how to get said etchings. If there is any help then it would be greatly appr.

                            Things we have tried.

                            Clicking the book while targeting a corpse.
                            Giving the book to the corpse.
                            Having book on cursor when engaging and during kill shot.

                            If there is any info on this please reply.

                              it is "automatic" (you have a random chance when you make a kill of the appropriate NPC of getting an etching)
