Quest limit still NOT working

Postby Nightdawg » Mon Apr 20, 2020 3:00 am

Please clarify if this isn't a bug, why this limit is still not working, or why it refills after 6 seconds.

After my friend posted this viewtopic.php?f=47&t=67474&p=850828&hilit=quest+limit#p850828 , you said this:

in this patch viewtopic.php?p=850496#p850496

After I got my first quest limit earlier, it refreshed in 6 seconds, so I figured it's normal.
Then after the next quest, again 6 seconds. So I decided to record it, and did 3 more quests, and still 6 seconds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHQHp-jYvgU

Last world this limit worked perfectly fine when you added it. :roll:

I asked Jorb about this after the one patch this world and his response was:

You have a quest counter which diminishes over time. When it hits the cap (60 quests currently) you can't report back. How fast it diminishes depends on how close you are to the server lead in quest points, being a mechanic we use internally to score the quests and determine their reward.


So you are hitting the bucket limit (60 quests), but since you're far enough behind the leader it's regenerating new quests fast enough to open up within seconds. Back in World 11 I thought we changed quests to a weekly limit? Which was what I was expecting in W12 so i'm kind of disappointed since it does seem like the quest limit is still a joke because of how this cap/regen system is working.

There is now a fixed amount of non-credo quests you are allowed to complete per unit of time (about 3 per RL day), but that amount is buffed while you lie below the global server leader in number of completed quests (Up to a maximum of about 12 per RL day). Some steps have also been taken to reduce the randomness in the rewards given. You can buffer a significant amount of quests, so there shouldn't be a major rush to complete them instantly.


This was so much better, we'd be at ~135 limit right now, which I have clearly passed a long time ago.

I guess there really is no chance to compete ever in this game unless I have 20 slaves to grind gear, food and curios for me while I quest for 25 hours a day.

But according to post abovem if you're competing AND you're close to the top quester, the limit will actually be limit for you... Soo, IMO it's contrary. The TOP faction powerboy can't quest cause he's been questing 25/8, but YOU can to catch up with him. Once you're also a top questerm you both get similar limits.
