Re: Find and target?

I am supposed to find the kitten but I have found Kippee and probably killed some but wheres credit. I don't understand... what is my goal?

Re: Find and target?

You need to find and target a specific type of kipee. If you got no credit, you got the wrong type.

Re: Find and target?

It says find kitten in the mission subject
but it does not say what type
it says: locate ""

or something like that

Re: Find and target?

Kitin are:

Kipee
Kizoar
Kipesta
Kirosta
Kipucka
Kinrey
Kidinak
Kiban
Kizarak
Kincher

These also have Sub types. Such as Vigorous, Vulgar, Moderate, Hard, etc.
So there is a lot of choice to what you need to target, but if you tell us who is asking for it we might be able to help you better.

Re: Find and target?

It should be either Vigorous or Vulgar Kipee.

Re: Find and target?

Bump. This is a bug that still needs to be fixed.

Re: Find and target?

I believe that the source of the bug is that the Vigorous and Vulgar Kipee are both part of the same spawn. If the Vulgar are killed off but the vigorous are not, then the Vulgar do not respawn.

I suspect, but cannot prove, that the engine checks for the existence of Vulgar Kipee in region, and if they are all dead we get the "." I suspect this because not everyone seems to get the bug.

Re: Find and target?

This is actually a very-difficult-to-track-down bug, and it seems to be related to inter-service communication. We have been unable to duplicate it on our test servers yet. It's on my list though.

Re: Find and target?

In the meantime, the mission text could be changed to state the name of the required target explicitly and statically? That is, instead of including a variable in the text, write it plainly: "Find and target a Vulgar Kipee."

Umm... Chalai -- I am not a developer or a programmer and it is my theory (not fact) that the bug involves checking the actual mobs in the area. Since Reallocdev did not confirm this, I may well be entirely wrong. In addition, I have heard of reports that for higher level people doing the mission that the correct target is the Vigorous Kipee. If that is so, then a static assignment is not the answer.

With respect -- Bittty

Re: Find and target?

If that is the case, why not state which mobs are potentially the ones desired?
