need help ongoing issue

[canthor]

ok so i have an ongoing bug that has been around since the beta but it was never fixed although it has been accepted about 4 times on the bug forums if you want to see the whole saga just search my name in advanced search. Does anyone know if theres a better way to expadite this because its been almost a year without a fix and its a 5 minute fix

That's just the thing, maybe it isn't as simple as simply 'flicking a switch' in the code, as anyone with even a partial knowledge of programming would tell you - fixing one bug always runs the risk of breaking something else that worked before (chaos theory at work). Yes it might seem like the answer to the issue would be for SE to go into your character's data and change some flags, it's entirely possible this could then break something else, effectively corrupting your character's entire data.

I hate to say it, but I think there's sadly nothing SE can do for you by now. Like when a Playstation memory card corrupts and you're left with no option but to reformat the card and wipe the data, forcing you to start again from scratch, I think the only way you'll be able to solve this problem now would be to erase your character and start again sadly. As I think if SE could fix this problem, they would have done so by now - the reason there's been no change is they simply can't (or don't want to run the risk of creating potentially worse bugs).

well anyone who knows code and this issue would also know that in this case no new bug would be created by simply dropping this particular quest from a players info because it doesnt affect any other quests that you can activate before you finish this quest
