I can't believe it. What the hell were they doing all the time??? I am playing the updated version with the 5k Bulb fix, but I got a daily challenge that is still showing as completed.I mean seriously, you had ONE job?! I assume the fix from 15k to 5k takes 2 minutes to implement, since you only have to change a number, but you even postponed the fix 2 days for it not to work in the end? Are you testing your fixes before you release them?This gets more and more insane from day to day.

Hey PvZ friends, We're sorry for issues you're encountering. We know its frustrating! I just had a pow-wow with smart guys and this is what we believe: We believe the issues with bad challenge statuses has been resolved Unfortunately players who were previously in the bad state are still experiencing the issue We need your help: We believe re-rolling the challenge fixes the issue. We'd love your help to verify this. We believe its not possible to get in this bad state anymore. We're investigating a make-good to the community. I promise any lost progress will be handled generously. We just want this fixed! Thanks, -sl

Yep. I logged in this morning and one challenge was stuck. I've been able to get these done by logging off and on and defeating the appropriate target, sometimes I have to vanquish the listed number, log off, log back on, and then vanquish one more for credit, sometimes it's much easier and I log off and back on and vanquish just one appropriate enemy and get instant credit so you can work around them, but this really needs to be fixed after 2 patches to address it.

@ToastedSarnie I'm not into programming and things like that but I couldn't have imagined that fixing such minor issue (in my point of view) could cause such trouble. Starting to think about the major issues in this game makes me worry about the whole game.

@ippig I know, me too. Not sure even the xp change is enough to stop the frustration. I'm losing the will to live, never mind play the game & my problems haven't been as bad as many other people's.

@TLEsquire Ok, so I was fine last night but this morning my 2nd challenge was sitting there with a completed tick. Could've re-rolled but the whole point of the re-roll, surely, is to get rid of a challenge you don't want to do (& it has always annoyed me that re-rolling doesn't just give you another challenge straightaway). Tried re-doing the challenge & was awarded the bulb, but how much of that is luck, Idk! This is not my idea of fixed! Words truly fail me.

Srsly PopCap, even after the hotfix I got a challenge showing as completed?!

I also had a broken completed quest when I logged in this evening. My hope is that it was broken before the patch was implemented and that didn't repair currently broken quests. With any luck, going forward the quests will not break. My re-roll worked so that theory is at least a possibility.

Oh no! I had a stuck challenge before patch. When I went in it had cleared, but 20 hour wait for new one.
Added: Just seen on Twitter a message saying they've had reports this may not have been fixed as they thought & teams are investigating . . . ☹

Lol just finished challenge and now the box contains a tick and the number 0 and won't go away, guess I'll have to waste a reroll to fix it.
To lazy take screen shot, just. Like EA to lazy to pay devs to fix this game.

Well that's craptastic. I was really willing to be optimistic about this last night, hoping that last broken quest was just a holdover. I just don't understand this.
I really do appreciate the change from 15k to 5k for a bulb. It was a good move. I'm baffled how a hot fix for the quests didn't do anything. It would have been nice to get a heads up before the fix was put into place. I have trouble believing the devs didn't know the fix didn't work when the problem is still so widespread. Just saying "hey, we are going to put the fix we have up by changing the exp required per bulb but we are still working on broken quests. So sorry this isn't fixed yet but it's still a priority" would have been less of a disappointment.

When you think of the sheer complexity involved in coding this game, who would have thought simple tracking of challenges and bulbs would cause the developers so much trouble?
Does anyone know, even if the challenge is auto checked, can you still complete it and get a bulb?
