Sing it, Memoria!

I've been here 20 years, through all of the ups and downs, and the Kumos site is ugly, buggy, user unfriendly, and I hate being confined to 5 (or 3) quests. And the wardrobe doesn't work half the time! So what if I hoard currency as well? After 20 years, I have quite a lot of it. I love Memoria's idea of combining currencies, actually.

According to my user perspective, Keith pops up to tinker on Kumos here and there, breaks it, fixes it, ignores feedback and makes it worse somehow, then bounces. Poor Amber is stuck frantically managing the main site, trying to keep us entertained.

Subeta is how I unwind after work - quests, games, saving up enough to buy books, food, collectables, and weapons. Take that away, and I'm out.

Tried another Pete quest to see if the problem had been resolved. Even though I didn't do 5 quests earlier it said I had hit the limit for today - Pete took my items but didn't give me any kind of reward and I'm now stuck on his quests.

the issue persists of quests not being able to be finished. ): managed to do one and then got locked out despite having all items.

also first time using kumos on mobile. can't say we are a fan aha.

please, can we get a challenger of melman since he is making himself extremely punchable for the past few days.

I noticed the quests were reset again about an hour ago so I tried again but they're still broken. Maybel let me complete two quests and start a third, but won't let me complete the third quest. The counter still says 5 (3+2) remaining and doesn't change but the banner says my daily limit of 5 has been reached when I try to turn in my items for the third quest.

Are they being reset on purpose while still broken or are the resets a glitch too?

Edit: All the questgivers are malfunctioning in the same way. Also, I realized a bit too late that the third quest, that always lets you start but never complete it, actually steals your items but gives you no reward. That's enough testing this bug, please fix before resetting again.

wondering if GAs are being allowed to do the first 3 or if there is a seperate glitch where the first quest can just not be accepted. regardless, it's a bit disheartening/frustrating since they used to work perfectly fine.

[edit]

okay! had good luck this run, didnt run into any issues, though kumos was slow, and there was a constant pop up of ... something(?) had expired. hard to get a screenshot of it since it would go away after a second, but it would cause the screen to jump erratically. happened more when we bought from kumos shops.

also hoping that the issue with theme/pop up and staying logged into kumos gets addressed, but! refreshingly smooth, at least compared to the past few days!

Yep, happy to report the quests worked fine for me today, I got to complete all five of each and then the banner saying I'd done all five popped up appropriately.

However, the counter never went down, it always said I had 5 remaining. I noticed the (3+2) thing is gone and I'm kinda glad, that was unnecessary.

The user shop search "buy" button doing nothing issue is still happening

"Start" buttons on the main questgivers page are not useable/clickable as of today. Starting quest via the extra top bar works, though.

Hm, more wrong than expected... In quest all navigation broken. Item hover info not displaying (also not via clicking the item). All item acquisition links not completely viewable, still clickable, though. However, none of the purchase links clickable, so any questing is impossible unless you manually search NPC shops and/or on legacy.

edit - oops, purchase and item info buttons in NPC shops have ceased to work within the last quater of an hour :-(

edit 2 - even sadder, now I have tediously bought all the items, but the "Complete Quest" buttons again are not working, either. Lower one does nothing, top one throws confetti without completing quest.

So, cutting a long story short: Questing is COMPLETELY broken.

Today quests all worked for me!

the new "buy" button is working as smoothly as butter, really nice

I keep getting an error when I try to do the quests.

Oops! Something went wrong

We've encountered an unexpected error while processing your request. This could be because of an error on this page, or something broader. This is our generic "we don't have a more specific error to show you" page. It could really be anything, so please let us know in the forums.

Mauve's item pool needs some serious work. Today I had two quests in a row where he asked for the same completely unavailable item followed by a quest where one of the items was in user shops for over 100k. Wasn't able to complete a single one of the Runway Ready quests this reset as a result and I often encounter similar problems with that quest in particular.

Yeah, Mauve's quests just aren't really viable as they are now. Today I had to skip a quest because one of the requested items cost way more than he'd ever pay out and another one of the items wasn't available in any shops at all. Even if the idea was that we should have to skip a quest here and there, I feel it's too disruptive to the site and economy to have a quest regularly clearing out ordinary restockables from usershops with repetitive requests.

And the repetitive requests remain an issue with all of the questgivers.

I had to quit all the Runway Ready quests today because of the problems already reported.

I am sure others have said it, but Mauve's quests atm are causing some serious over-inflation of items and are practically un-doable. Is there a way to significantly widen the pool of items requested and / or tie the items requested to USS as well / instead so that the items can't be over X cost in USS? We're talking items that should be under 20k (often originally under 10k I believe) going for 100k - several million because there aren't enough of them around (even though their rarity means there should be). There's a group of folks trying to combat this inflation but it seems impossible.

agreeing with , since there is also overlap on Saggi and Maleria items being asked, so the issue also crops up with them. Not as badly as Mauve though, he needs to stop trying to make fetch happen.

edit: 3 days in a row we've needed to skip mauve due to overinflated items or ones that are not in SS.

Yeah it's quite bad. Wasn't able to do any of Mauve's quests at all today or I would have taken a loss - and this isn't even the worst I've seen in terms of pricing/availability on his item pools. Here's all his quests today:

UPDATE:

Just discovered an unrelated issue: there is no confirmation check when clicking "Give Up" on the quest screen, and with that button being right next to the "Complete Quest" button and with the additional buttons on the topbar constantly moving around when purchasing items it's easy to accidentally quit it due to a misclick, which can (and has) resulted in a loss of SP.

Moving the button to give up a quest or adding a confirmation check would handily solve this issue.

whatever tweak happened with mauve is so, so good. everything was restockable and cheap, actually shook that nothing was over 10k

Ehh, I wouldn't say there's really been any significant change to Mauve at all. For a few days he was asking for cheaper stuff but now the value of the requests is creeping back up again. Had to skip a couple tonight. It's like once in a while, his request pool gets rotated to a few new items, but then he just keeps asking for them to death again until those are also inflated/bought out. The one thing I've noticed that might be new is that occasionally (rarely) he pays out pretty well (100-200k range instead of the usual 70-80k), but it's not consistent enough to risk shelling out for those highly-inflated items. Usually, if I buy a typical 50k + 20k + 10k set of items he wants, I'm lucky if I break even.

yeah, as you said prior during the good days we were actually getting all 3 items as restockables, hence us thinking that something had changed. was coming back to say 'nvm lol'. mauve needs fixing, just got a good run and got excited for some positive change regarding him. hadn't ever seen things being restockable prior to this
