Wierd codes on Chaos

[Mearis]

When harvesting everyone I have talked to including myself get some odd codes...

Resource template id: 34376
Resource id: 1968
Mod extraction rate: 0
Mod extraction delta: 0
Final extraction rate: 7
Final extraction delta: 3

Never seen this before..... umm???

Also some have said crafting is broken, but have not elaborated. So I will just stick to the wierd codes, and why are we getting them?

You're getting them because we updated the code to remove the "consignment spam" during maintenance today. It was released to Blight last week, and all seemed to go well there... but a bit too much "code" was released.

What you're seeing is debugging information the designers use. I've let the right people know so that they can fix it, but it may be there until next week's maintenance.

The consignment spam also had a side kick, the disabled quest spam. Thankfully the consignment spam is gone but still getting disabled quest spam on log in and first time opening vault window (per log in).

Could you please explain what you mean by "disabled quest spam"? Because we did intentionally introduce code that would tell someone that a quest was disabled on log in on purpose.... that's not "spam" if that is what you mean.

That's probably what she means -- whenever I log onto my Saris I get:

Quest "Deity Found" disabled due to school constraints.

(its a cleric quest, and I have her as warrior right now, so that makes sense)

Or something like that... I figured that was normal and it is actually a good thing, to remind us now and then lol.

While I was doing my level 30 crafting quests, every time I accepted a quest this message would appear:

[07/07/10 18:41:32] You have received a new quest - 'Gemcraft Mastery III: Craft 70 Amethyst'.
[07/07/10 18:41:32] Quest Imperial Bank: Vault Upgrade I has been disabled due to a constraints or school check.
[07/07/10 19:06:15] You have received a new quest - 'Stoneworking Mastery III: Craft 70 Slate Bricks'.
[07/07/10 19:06:15] Quest Imperial Bank: Vault Upgrade I has been disabled due to a constraints or school check.
[07/07/10 19:23:32] You have received a new quest - 'Essence Harvesting Mastery III: Collect 100 Pale Essence'.
[07/07/10 19:23:32] Quest Imperial Bank: Vault Upgrade I has been disabled due to a constraints or school check.

So I guess it is kind of a spam if it appears every time you accept a quest, and maybe worse if you have multiple disabled quests.

[Dracaena]

The others are correct. I was only guessing it would appear on accepting other quests and thus didn't mention it. I do have 2 disabled quests in my log. As unless I run back through the t2 area there aren't many other quests for me to take that I don't already have, stuck for lack of drops (kwellian hides for the outpost) or just another doom emblem quest.

I did not realize that part was intentional. Still seems odd I can spam myself opening the vault, hehe.

I'm curious as to why this is needed. I would assume that most people know what quests are dissabled in their log, other than the vault one randomly turning itself off. If there's something specific you'd like us to be keeping an eye out for, knowing what it is would be a big help. I know I have a number of disabled quests in my log that I keep round for sentemental reasons. Things that help me rememebr the old days.

We are still getting this on Order as well. Is it possible to jog their memory again to fix this on next maintenance?
Very annoying when harvesting and chatting with friends

Thank you

Temporary fix:

What I do, is I have the default two windows.

I disable everything on the *left* window, and set it as a "Guild" window. "Guild" is the only thing checked.

I create a new tab, label it "Group", and leave "Group" as the only thing checked.

I make sure that window is marked the Primary Window, and then I join whatever chat channels I want to be in.

On the *Right* Bar, I set it read-only, and tweak the combat messages (I leave stuff that doesn't pertain to me unchecked), and make sure it can accept system and Tells. (If you don't have 'Tell' checked in this window, you won't see NPC dialogue).

That way, when you harvest, it won't interfere with your chat, unless it is in /Say.

If you wanted to include /Say on that, you could add another tab to the left chatbox, and label it Local or something like that. That way, Gathering/Loot/Battle data does not interfere with communications.

Here's a pic I took for a bug report that shows the windows when done:

Note, to see the "New Message" flashing of the tab, you have to turn up the window's transparency setting. I have mine set at 80% on both the window and the border.

Thank you Dhalin

Another way of bypassing this bug is turning off game feed back once i know i am getting a high yeald i turn it off any way so this might also help you

[Dhalin]

Thank you Dhalin

NP at all.

Maybe I should make a guide or something, I dunno. lol.

But I find this the easiest way to do it, at least IMO.

Do you mean its suppose to appear only at log in?
Well it does not. It also appears when I open the vault for the 1st time after login, every time I take a quest or an update or turn in trophies.
Doing the Elemental archer quest now and since its a multi step quest it gets really annoying after a while. + it hides any message for emote or item you receive as it pushed the info off the chat window. Biped has several disabled quests.
