A Small Problem...No, really......

[GrrArgh]

So.....I was excited to learn that the Epic portion of the House P Carnival chain was back up.

So I was a little puzzled when I went to go run A Small Problem only to find it still down....

A quick bit of running around gave me epic opening windows for all the other quests in the chain....

I didn't dig too deep into the forums, but didn't see it getting "complained about" anywhere super obvious, so I figured I'd mention it...

There's just a small problem with A Small Problem right now, it seems.

Is that life imitating art on a quest that is arguably about art imitating life (a.k.a. the theater)?

Ha!

Ok, I was just planning on that post being just a one-off, but......

I just finished running Partycrashers.

And there's a small problem there, too.

Unless my run was bugged somehow, after completing the quest and killing Inkrakos for the extra chests/xp.....

The chests were accessible, but the (Optional) Defeat Inkrakos bulletpoint didn't complete and I didn't recieve any extra experience for it. Even if it was decided that the xp for killing him should be zero (which would really suck), the optional should still complete and tell me that I'm getting a whole 0 xp.

First off, known issues on the release notes.
Second off, Did you perhaps kill him too fast?

Must have missed the known issues bit. Not the first time.

Secondly, hardly. At level solo EE run, in suboptimal gear.... barely made it through the quest in one piece. :) He didn't go down fast.

Edit: Ah, known issues from the 51.1 patch. 51.0 and 51.0.1 were the last updates I had read. I didn't realize there had been another "fix" so fast.

Edit #2: No...I had read 51.1.....it's the only place that mentions the quest reopenings....I must have just got overexcited and didn't make it as far as the Known Issues.....because all those were a new read....::laughter:: See....when that kind of thing happens to me, it's no surprise this isn't the first time.......

Edit #3: I'm instituting a new level of "investigation" before throwing a question like that on the forums again (even though I tried to make my inquiry light and funny).

Step 1: Notice issue.
Step 2: Check forums (Dev posts/new posts)
Step 3: If there's no immediate outcry noticed, go back and read the Known issues in the latest update notes, dummy (that's me talking to myself, lest you get confused, dear reader).
Step 4: Post on forums and try to be light-hearted and funny while simultaneously serious.

Edit #3 (P.S.) By the way, thanks dredre9987 - for answering my question. You could have just face palmed and moved on and left me in the dark. And although you were very concise with your answer, you weren't mean or rude. For all these things I thank you and throw you some +rep.

Not a problem. Though the optional not completed still bugs me. Usually on my end it’s because I killed something before the actual optional quest popped. Doesn’t seem to be so in your case. I’m going to try and repo it and see what I can find out.

Just ran it. Certainly didn't kill him too fast - a solid 30 sec of fighting or so. Had same issue. Would appear the optional is bugged.

Still bugged on Inkrakos kill not completing optional. Shame since it's 50%.
