I do like the concept of the quest bar at the top. If I try to buy an item from the npc shop search today, I immediately get the Oops page. At the moment, I'm just searching for items on the old site, then turning them in here.
It's less laggy than yesterday, so I can at least finish the quests, though it seems to work fastest/most reliably when I use the turn in function while on the quest page.
I am, once again, expressing my opposition to the "Turn In" buttons being required. I don't care about the confetti; I only care about my time. I haven't completed Kumos quests since three resets ago because of these added, unnecessary steps. Please have the "Complete Quest" illuminated at all times. Legacy has "Finish Quest" illuminated at all times and it works quite well.

quests reset AGAIN 😭 sorry for all the chaos lately—classic domino effect situation where one bug triggers another, and figuring out which fix actually works takes time.
the top bar? great when it works. but turns out, when it breaks, it BREAKS EVERYTHING, not just quests. plus, there was a sneaky lil countdown clock bug forcing the quest bar to re-render every second. every. single. second. it kept fetching your wardrobe, inventory, vault, main shops, and user shops over and over. with 200–600 users running quests between resets, that was a TON of requests clogging the cache. when the cache filled up, everything had to hit the database directly, which slowed the whole site to a crawl.
i’ve pushed fixes for all of that. when the queue’s backed up, it can take hours for everything (auctions, forum pings, events, etc.) to catch up.
and the top bar itself was originally a workaround for race conditions. before, if multiple users tried to buy the same item from a shop, it’d error out. now, you just browse the site and buy items (yes, from user shops too!), so if one item’s gone, you can just grab the next. no more race issues.
everything appears to be stable now: • no more per-second data refreshes 🙏 • errors should fail gracefully instead of nuking your page • buttons will actually show feedback instead of just sitting there • it should all feel a lot faster
fingers crossed 🤞

Just pushed out an additional update, if you have all of the items in your inventory you can click complete quest, no need to turn them in individually!
💖 ✨ 🤗
It definitely seems much quicker this evening, thank you! Apprecuate being able tonclick the complete quest item button too.
In the last 10 minutes since I started trying after the reset there have been a couple of issues though. Sometimes the quest timer would say I was out of time when I'd only started 30 seconds ago. a refresh of whatever page I'm on foxes this though. And I had it several times in a row where the full site nenu kn the left would pop up and Idt have to either refresh or navigate forwards/backwards (more than one page, sometimes) to get rid if jt sobI could continue using the site.
That might have all happened if you were literally just updating though so I'll continue to quest and see what happens.
it was faster now, but the move from own shop button doesn't work and the discount card either

Edit: Picture didn't upload so I can't share. Sorry. /Edit.
Ack no, still happening. and both things at the same time. 🫣
Refreshing or navigating backwards/forwards seems to clear it so I can continue with the quest.
I greatly prefer the previous way marking each item to buy rather than the top bar. There's no way to account search anymore, which is a big issue for me. I keep extras in a shop/gallery for quest needs and now that's not useful.

Sorry - the click items are causing issues in the bar right now, so I had to remove them, but it's temporary! you'll be able to click them and use the account search again in a little bit.
Thank you! I'm working on getting to the bottom of this, I think it might still be after effects of the cache backing up - its showing quests that are passed / finished instead of moving on to the new ones.
💖 ✨ 🤗
Thanks That makes sense.
Glad you understood all of those typos as well. I really should stop using desktop mode and not zooming out of the text box to check for errors. 😆
now that the issues have been fixed, I like this new version a lot. it's a lot more organized. I feel a lot more compelled to do quests, and I know a lot of people have opinions about the number of quests being cut down, but for me personally I think this number is the right amount where it doesn't feel like a chore to do, but I'm not going through them too quckly either. I did like the confetti, but if no confetti means this feature functions I can live without the confetti.
So, weird little issue! I was working on Saggi's quest and turned in items as I grabbed them. For the last item, the Complete Quest button lit up as well as the Turn In option, as intended. I clicked Turn In rather than completing the quest on autopilot. The item was turned in, the Complete Quest option stayed on. Then it immediately refreshed so that it appeared the item hadn't been turned in, but the Complete Quest option was still available. If I clicked Complete Quest, it did absolutely nothing. Refreshing or moving to another page would repeat the pattern - it loads appropriately, then immediately refreshes to show the item not turned in, and completing doesn't work. I bought a second copy of the item (Pearl and Emerald Brooch Necklace) and used the Complete Quest button and it worked.
Also, whenever I complete a quest, it brings up a 404 error. If I click anywhere outside the error box, the page actually loads just fine. (And now that I'm trying to get a screencap, I can't get either the turn in or complete quest button to respond. Hahaha!)
It would also be nice on the user shop search screen if there could be some confirmation text that your purchase was successful.
Much nicer having the complete quest option appear when you have everything! Yay!
The buttons still don't work for me. Search usershops for the first item, go to click buy - buy buy buy buy - it just sits there. Refresh the page, buy - now it works. Same deal with complete quest. Click and click and click nothing happens. Refresh and click again, now it works. Pete kept telling me my time was up on a quest I just started, I had to "view quest" of the apparent failed quest and click try again for it to realize it wasn't actually failed.
I'm going to start with saying that I wish you could turn items/quests in on the actual quest npc page. While I like the concept of it being like an event at the top of the page I am finding it Very tempermental about turning in items. I am also finding the new user shop page to be a lot more laggy than the Subeta one but that might just be Kumos in general. I do like how it shows when it is in a NPC shop but I'm very used to that being just on the user shop search and finding just the whole new NPC shop page a bit... odd.
I do understand making there be less quests with more items given but I am curious to see what this while do to the economy in general as quests are a major way of moving user items.
So far I am enjoying the concept change it just still needs some work to be fully functional.
Also, when their was the icon to tell me I had someone in my own shop I did not have any luck getting that button to work and i instead found myself opening Subeta to use the user shop their to remove it instead. I really enjoyed when I was on the quest page and clicked an item how it gave the shop search that linked to the Legacy one and found that it worked much faster for me but as you cannot turn things in on this page I still found myself refershing Many Times to try to get anything done.
❤ ❤ 💛 💚 💙 💜
Thank you for making the Complete Quest clickable without Turning In items first!! Much appreciated!
Finished my quests. I did use legacy to search shops, because I find it faster and more reliable.

Nothing about this was intuitive. I could see the items needed under quest giver but with no buttons or any way to go actually get those items. I even tried the item hover and nope, that was my cue to look up.. My eyes go to under the quest giver because I'm used to the previous layout and the regular Subeta layout where everything is below the quest giver. Maybe don't have the required items shown in two locations if you only want us to use the top bar.
There was no feedback on the shop search. I couldn't tell if I actually bought anything or not. Turns out I only bought one of them. I also tried the vault option but I didn't pull anything out because I didn't know what 'remove' meant in this context. Is it one? Is it all? I don't know! I didn't feel like it testing it out and having to re-categorize an item if it wasn't one after all. I decided to just get everything from Legacy because that was the only way I knew for sure I was grabbing one of each thing.
Unable to start quest: Could not find enough available items that meet the quest requirements. This usually means there are not enough items available in shops or the required items are too rare. Please try again later when more items become available.

This is what I'm getting now:
Unable to start quest: Could not find enough available items that meet the quest requirements. This usually means there are not enough items available in shops or the required items are too rare. Please try again later when more items become available.
That was for Maleria and Saggi.
Questing is incredibly slow.
