View Full Version : [REOPENED] Quest "Longbows" keeps giving "Quest completed" notifications
Short description:
Since last night's maintenance some players keep receiving "Quest completed" notifications every few minutes.
The quest is not shown in the "Quest list" but when clicking on the Quest icon it opens on the "Longbow" quest, which is part of the "Ranged units" main quest. Claiming the reward only hides the "Quest completed" notification for a few minutes, it doesn't really give you the rewards, unless it's the first time you complete it. It might be that the "Quest completed" notification is triggered every time you get a notification popup like you get for units/buffs completed. Also note the graphical glitch in the "Quest list" (in the "Premium" main quest)

For those that experience this issue. Does it go away if you complete the "Premium" quest chain?
What is so despicably pathetic is this bug was known about BEFORE it went live.
I think the problem here is that a lot of players surpassed the level 25 a long time ago before this quest was introduced.
I know you guys went through a whole creation of new quests tutorials along time ago and even added quests/chains for low level players.
When you did that and made it live. Those who surpassed a certain level never got these quests.
That is probably why these earlier level quests keeps popping up because the high level players never actually got to do them.
I know this for a fact because the "Drill Sargent" item was never in the game at the time. It was never offered as a Reward either until later when you guys introduced the item and the quest and the rewards. A lot of high level players never got to do the long bow chain.
In fact, a lot of the high level players never got to do any of the low level tutorial quests that granted decoration rewards.
Related to this. the reason why the longbow quest was bugged for some players before this maintenance was
The longbow quest was stuck for a lot of players because they never completed/finished the chain but ended up leveling past 25 to 30?? so it ignored allowing the quests to be completed.
This is similarly why high level players never got to do the quest. So I believe that if you level up so high and never finished the chain, the quests gets stuck and never completes and never unlocks the next part of the chain.
Every time when i relog i see i have finished a Quest.

When i click on it i see a new quest, what i dont see on the left site.
When i click on Claim Reward ----> Nothing happen.

Please fix this bug.
I have the same bug. I haven't done Premium quests yet.
cannot complete this as soon as you accept reward then log out and log back in the quest is back wanting to be completed again
:mad: I really hope somebody at BB gets sacked over this. This is a major insult to the players. :mad:
it is doing this to me too. and doing it at random times, not just on log in. I will be building those pesky wheat and water and BOOM i have finished the longbow quest...
lets hope this is taken care of a lot faster than the last repeating quest.
no sooner does the last pop up completed quest get fixed, and this one starts. wow I don't think I have yet to play this game without the pop up quest glitch. is it a right of passage to have a constant mess??
For those that experience this issue. Does it go away if you complete the "Premium" quest chain?
The bug don't go away if you complete the "Premium" quest chain. I've completed the quest, and the issue keep returning...
If you look at the main quest section of the posted pic you will see under the premium quests a blank space. This is exactly the same as with the old longbow bug. If memory serves I did complete the longbows quest chain originally, I logged in this morning and I saw no sign of this bug on my account, logging in this evening and I find I do have the bug.

Im having this problem to, kinda anoying but it aint as bad as some people are bleeting about. just ignore it. come on bb. sort it out, and how about a little prezzie to iron out the worry lines on our faces.
had longbow ghost quest yesterday, it happened only at start up, today however, it will not go away, claim ghost rewards, close, and within seconds it back. be not so bad if it actually gave the rewards, but is it just so annoying.

Same here had it all day yesterday and still have it today i got a feeling were going to be stuck with this until they fix the bug full stop. :(
I also still have the same problem from yesterday.
I have the problem too. After enduing over 6 months of the last repeating quest, we now have to put up with another one. Joy!
Apparently, this game is no longer in Beta. I beg to differ...

No, it doesn't - I'm still getting this after completing the Premium quest chain...

Calm down, Hairy... It's a minor bug that's been caused by a change in the game - they happen. It is not an insult to players, and doesn't detrimentally affect gameplay at all. It's just a very minor irritation that simply requires a click or two to 'hide' it for a while.
BB will fix this, personally, I'm in no hurry as it doesn't bother me at all. If they knew about it before the update as you claim, how would you know this unless you worked for BB? I play on the Test Server daily, and this bug never showed there as far as I'm aware. Unfortunately, there appear to be sufficient differences between the Test Server and the Live Server, that bugs like this occasionally get through. If you've ever worked as a coder, you would appreciate how difficult it is to write bug-free code - the BB Devs do an awesome job - sacking one of them would simply mean there is one less excellent coder working there, and would have to be replaced with someone less experienced, leading to more bugs...
What is insulting to players is giving us a very annoying bug when it was known about in advance. Players were talking about the impending bug before maintenance. The last time a similar bug showed up, it took BB at least 6 months to bother to fix it. My only hope, & I have very little of that, is BB can apply a similar fix this time & it won't take 6 months.
As for sacking, it's BB's PR department that should get the boot. They have a veritable history of illcommunication. And hey, sacking a useless coder would create the opportunity for someone new, someone who can actually alpha-test their code.
Lately we don't seem to be able to get any new content without bugs, problems that could have been detected with just 5 mins of alpha testing. On top of that existing things that were (relatively) bug free are getting broken, and BB's approach seems to be about applying patches and scripts to undo the effects of bugs, rather than stopping the cause of the bugs.
BB knew 'longbows' would be a bug, and they gave it to us anyway. [ Removed ]
Let's keep this thread on topic and skip the inappropriate language please.
Thanks,
Fexno
i am having the same bugg aswell as a couple of others of my guild. please fix this as currently there is an enoying blinking large blue Arrow reminding mee the thing is broke..
This is an extremely annoying bug, they should at least give us the reward each time we click accept :)
From the homepage:
Dear Settlers,
Some players are not able to finish the Longbows quest.
The finilization request recurrs in the quest book.
The final fix for all affected players will be implemented
next week during the regular maintenance.
Meanwhile a script will solve the issue for many players.
It will be executed today approx. at 16:15 CEST and in addition tonight.
Happy Settling!

No, it doesn't - I'm still getting this after completing the Premium quest chain...

How major or minor the bug is depends on that players particular set up. The last time the longbow bug was here it's effect was so bad I had no choice but to quit an account on one of the other servers, this time thanks to having a improved set up this time it's nothing more than a slightly annoying distraction.
Even with two identical set ups a players impression of how a bug affects them is a subjective matter.

Read it again, you will see what was writ shows a lack of understanding of what our problem is.

Well it looks like the script they ran at 16.15 sorted it all out; I can't even log on now. Even using the profile route I just end up with a blank screen, no looping and
now NO GAME cheers B_B

This might be a silly question, but does that happen even if you change to another browser like Chrome for a while?

No it's not a silly question, I don't have chrome installed so can't say if it would, I'm using explorer 8 and it worked fine this morning before I went to work, just got home tried to log in and nothing, just goes to a blank screen. All other programs run fine and can access all othe webb pages, so you tell me what gone wrong this time.

Something has happened, I can now get in, very strange.
Thanks Sto_Helit for trying to help.
This issue should now be fixed.
Is anyone still getting "Quest completed" notifications for the quest "Longbows"?

Can you confirm that you are getting notifications for the "Longbows" quest, or is it another quest you keep getting "Quest complete" notifications for?

I have been getting the Longbows quest pop up all day. I'm sure this was fixed ages and ages ago and now it has been re-introduced.
Im still getting it too! Every few minutes it pops up again.... - here the same... :S
Since at least 2 players are still having the issue I've reopened the issue.
Hi all,
We are aware this is still an issue for some players and are working on a fix for it as fast as possible. :)
Best,

I recently re-made my longbow maker after upgrading all my hardwood cutters to level 5 (had lots of logs so why not) but now I have a constant quest I'm not able to get rid of
http://s22.postimg.org/id22jq7pd/longbowbug1.jpg
http://s9.postimg.org/cb4ypok4v/longbowbug2.jpg
Regardless of how many times I click complete (clicked it fair few times in the above) the quest keeps coming back yet if I look in my quest book there is no quest listed.
Please fix since its getting annoying having "quest completed" flash up every 30 seconds for a quest I can't actually complete.
EternalPink
26.09.13, 22:15
Can you please move this thread back to the original bugs forums since we are getting no news/updates or progress on this with it hidden away here.
I reported the above on the 13th and other than the standard support message of "dev's are looking" i've had nothing back 13 days later.

Still not had anything back about this but for myself after having flash die on IE (yes I have the current version) and switching to firefox the constant "quest completed" message has gone away.
Today logging straight in with IE it hasn't returned and my quest book no longer has an extra blank space on it anymore.
Hi EternalPink,
Strange that switching to another browser fixed your problem in IE. I see that flash died on IE, might it be that you reinstalled it or tried other things to get it to work again in IE (like clearing browser cache or flash cache, deleting temporary files, whatever...)
Does anyone else still have this problem?
If so, does it go away if you switch to another browser?
:mad: I really hope somebody at BB gets sacked over this. This is a major insult to the players. :mad:
I soo much agree with you Hairy ! Many people still have the same problem and it's very shameful that after all the maintainances it still hasn't been fixed.
Must admit I'm one of them and i also keep getting it "completed" every few minutes...my gaming experience is now even below zero !!!
I can confirm that this bug is still alive and well.... Very annoyingly well.
Change of browser did not help. After launching in IE (using Opera normally) first popup is the longbows and after confirming the reward it immediately pops up again.
I noticed that when the issue happens quest tracker on right hand side of screen gets confused - collectibles quest there shows status of -1/-1.
Getting the same problem as everyone else I thought it was fixed until I decided to build a longbowmaker a few day ago, the quest pops when I log in and randomly throughout gameplay :(
After todays patch problem still persists (patch notes say that longbows q shouldn't cause problems now).
Clearing of browser and flash cache didn't help.

Same by me, also after this new patch that was supposed to actually fix things.
This is very annoying as it pops out almost every 5 minutes.
Tech support claims that it should not affect the gameplay, but LONGBOWS QUEST ISSUE actually DOES AFFECT the GAMEPLAY !
Issue with Longbows quest should be reopened and placed here, not under subforums, becouse many players still have problems.
It seems nothing has been done so far regarding it.
Are we missing the ::C:: here ?

Thank you for throwing my latest post under the carpet again.
I bet that's the BB's support policy - Throw it in the dark room and problem solved...
Very, very dissapointing...
Yeah this one is getting a bit stale.
And it's still annoying - from sometimes at least few times per hour and quite often if other quests are finishing or after login.
Is there anything happening?

nothing happened my mate, we're being pushed to a subforum.
Write a ticket again or just reply to the old one and ask about progress... nice answering machine they have there :)
14th Nov. came...
"Missing Tools" quest fixed, and still no sign of any fix for the almighty popping "Longbows"...sadly... :mad:
this longbow quest is really starting to bleep me off ..its popped up 4 times in the last hour
Hiya Peeps,
I must come here first as my problem finally settled ( misteriously :confused: ).
Past 2 days no more popups, no distractions every 3-5 mins - and i did nothing ! Strange...
I think they did something on the server side, please correct me if i'm wrong, but i hope it will affect everyone with this problem.
I also hope that this is my last post here and hereby apologizing to any inconvenience caused by my side, if so...
Cheers and good luck all :)
