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?
I've been able to complete them by doing one of the following, note-so far I've only had this for defeat 'x specific enemies', not sure if this can work on other types of challenges:
1) Log off, log back on and defeat one of that specific enemy type. It will often instantly complete even with just the one mob and give me the bulb.
2) If 1 doesn't work, defeat at least enough of the mobs to satisfy the amount (25, 10, etc.), then log off and back on again, defeat one more mob and it's worked.
I've always been able to get these done via one of these 2 methods, but again, I've only tried this for 'Defeat 20 enemies in giddy park' or 'defeat 25 scientists', etc. If you get a stuck one like 'complete 3 PvP matches' I'm not sure if this will work.
This has to be fixed!
