    Unhappy Favor mismatch since U51

    Can anyone help me track down what might be the cause for Total Favor mismatches since Update 51?

    I have several characters whose total favor has dropped 60 or more points, all are Epic characters, though one level 22 character is fine. A few were parked for 3 months to 5 years, so no common denominator there. (Parked noting the last total favor and what the last DDO Store reward level was.)
    One is level 29 and had 4909 and now shows 4684, a drop of 225.
    One is level 30 and had 5239 and now shows 5179, a drop of 60.
    One is level 30 and had 4215 and now shows 4155, a drop of 60.
    One is level 30 and had 3806 and now shows 3721, a drop of 85.

    I TR very, very rarely, and only one character in the last year. I note game mail as I receive it and know I've received DDO Store points rewards for Favor at 4900, 5200, 4200, and 3800 on the characters respectively.

    If I add up the faction favor, it sums to the new total, so whatever is causing the new lower point total is affecting those as well. If I sum up all completed quest favor and add in all challenge favor, it also adds up to the new totals.

    There doesn't seem to be a pattern, and odd that it's so different between characters. Of the 2 that lost 60 points exactly, one never touched any Eveningstar quests nor challenges, so that narrows things a little.

    Anyone else notice this?

    I don't see any quests off-hand that have been dropped from the Quest list, but that's got to be it. Maybe.

    Argh!

    Someone mentioned in chat the other day that they thought the favor from the closed quests may have vanished. I don't have anyone to check that on, but it would make sense that it might have temporarily disappeared.

    Most likely the closed quests atm, Sands, sentinels, von 5-6, carnival, and chronoscpoe

    Thumbs up

    RF and Dre - thanks for the input.

    I thought it might be due to that, but I can't quite come up with a valid combination of the quests these characters had run that added to those difference totals.

    It's curious that those quests do show completely un-run on the characters, so it's definitely along the lines of what you've heard/read. I never recall Turbine or SSG "zeroing out" run quests before when a quest was closed in the years I've played.

    I wonder if they'll come back after the patch? Might need to drag out some old alts again to get the completions back, especially the VoN and Sands flags. A couple of my alts really don't mesh with the new Epic Destiny system and all the filler you have to take that is useless to some builds to get tier 4 let alone 5 unlocked. Ugh.
