"The Militia" Quest - only available for level 21,... but not 22 or further!

You read what I wrote ?

That it does not work as you would like it to work does not mean it is a bug.


I was level 25 when I completed "The bear" quest.
"The bear" unlocks "Sausage".
But sausage also requires level between 22 and 24.

Is 25 between 22 and 24 ? No.
Thus, no quest.

Is it a bug ? No.

...

While you're correct in saying that this technically is not a bug, since the game actually tells you the quest won't unlock above a specified level. BB's response suggests it's something that needs to be fixed, thus you might still call it a bug.

[Exarkfr]

Given the feedback on the guild quests or the modification of trade, it seems to that BB doesn't understand much about anything.

They do have quests with 50 as upper limit ("Storage" and "Population capacity" are [x-50])
They could have done every quests this way, but they didn't.
Whether it's by design or by mistake is another problem.

Telling your customers that they should receive a quest when their level is above what the quest says is poor communication at best. And a sign that they have no clue what they are doing.

Why do people insist on calling that a bug ? It works perfectly well. You're not within level [X-Y], you don't get the quest.

The problem here is poor design, not poor programming. X & Y are too close and easily skipped through doing other quests.

not when Y = X.

I will reiterate, if BB expect folks to pay real money to play the game then do not have this fault. To quibble over it being bad design as opposed to bad programming is argue over unimportant definition as BB do not have forum section "known areas of bad design" do they? [As opposed to this forum section]

Actually what you are describing is a bug. The Concise oxford English Dictionary defines a bug [in the computing sense] as
bug

"an error in a computer program or system. "


Try to remember, Exarkfr, that you started this argument about defines a bug and what does not.

[Exarkfr]

But where is the error ? I just can't see it

Should I have received "Sausage [22-24]" and "Cavalry [23-23]" when I was 25, then ?
I was not meeting the requirements.

Hello Nivlac8,

There are no official solutions right now unfortunately.

The team is aware of this though and is working on a hot fix.

I will keep you informed of course.

Hot fix?

It is the middle of February 2013?

The problem is still there.

Too narrow a range of levels for completing the [sub]quests.

This game is about building things up.

I don't care if you don't get it.

I want the [sub]quest task(s) to be at least vaguely achieveable within the designated levels...otherwise

THE LEVEL RANGE IS TOO NARROW.

You got it yet?

There are other online games where I can spend real money and not get [ Censored ] about a problem in the software.

Have a nice day.

Please be careful with words used

Hey guys, I can see this is getting a little heated, can we please be careful with how we express ourselves.

Thanks,

Of course I get it.
And I agree with it.
I even said it in my first post :
"The problem here is poor design, not poor programming. X & Y are too close and easily skipped through doing other quests."


Many people seem to think it's a bug, which it is not. The error is in the design, not in the program.
Rethinking the upper limits would be much appreciated, but so far, I see those quests working free of bug.


Now, I'm done with it.
