Impossible Guild Quests???

[minion79]

Before I start, I would like to say I have no idea where i should have posted this, it could be posted under game suggestions, bugs(if it is a bug), or general. So decided to post here until someone tells me otherwise.

To the problem..... Our last GQ was the veiled wilds - subquest the sure footed escort- requirement: own 100 cavalry. This quest was given to a level 20 guild member who was not able to build cavalry because of level restrictions.

As a result i decided i should let the technical team know of an issue using the reporting system in place by sending a ticket, just to let them know and to find out what they can do to stop it happening again.

Hi Support Team,
Our current quest for the Guild (The Persuaders) is "The veiled wilds" we
have a level 20 been given the subquest "surefooted escort" this requires
member (NiCat87) to own 100 cavalry, but is unable to make them in barracks
due to level restriction.
Best Regards, minion79

A pretty simple message. I was expecting a simple reply too, something along the lines of - "We are/are not aware of this issue and are working to remove this quest for people unable to complete due to level restrictions on requirements needed. Thank you for your feedback."

Instead I received this.

EDIT: (Apologies for breaking rule) Solutions were politely and informatively offered that the guildmember not partake in this particular GQ, and wait for someone else to finish to meet the quota required, or have the guild leader reset the GQ

This was a nice reply, and offers a player/guild solution to the problem. Unfortunately, we are already aware of player/guild solutions and were looking for a solution from BB to remove the problem from occurring in the first place. At no point was i expecting immediate resolutions and instant server closure to rectify the problem, but at least an acknowledgement that there is a flaw with the particular guild quest.

This is now the second time i have sent a valid ticket for what i feel is a technical/game issue and that the issue has been completely overlooked in the response. I'm sure I am not the only player who feels they have been ignored when reporting issues, yet we are actively encouraged to do so.

Anyway, I feel better now that I have that off my chest, and hopefully others will feel a bit better too knowing that they aren't alone. Stupid to get so worked up, but was more irritated by the response than the actual issue.

If players follow their main and side quests it leaves them unprepared for doing quild quests at least until their player level is in the high 30's, in my view the entire quest system is way overdue a review and update.

Oh, you didn't know...?
We're out of Beta now, so this is obviously working as intended.

Maybe fexno can add it to the verified bugs list on the forum which then helps give visibility of the problem so if people have the problem in future they can see it has been mentioned, hopefully one day the devs will go through this list and start to fix them (maybe when pigs fly)

I would second that, having recently had an "out of level" quest that forced me to cancel. I couldn't even 'buy' the wheels required in the TO, as nobody seems to have these anyway. Admittedly, that's the first one I've had of these in a very long time, was kinda hoping it had been fixed.

Not quite the same Nogbad... it is possible for players who can't make them to complete quests that involve wheels, carriages, etc.
You can't buy Cavalry.
This is an oversight in the development process of the guild quests, pure and simple, and it should be changed, not 'worked around'.
Doubly so now that the game is no longer in the beta phase.
