BUG: repeating messages on quest updates

[Ememjr]

i am getting repeating messages on quest updates ( those ones that pop up on screen for a few seconds)

ie on Quest Bog Sludge Hunt
after killing 10 bog sludges

the message I have slain several Bog Sludges in the Pet Bog pops up as it should and the pops up again, i have seen it repeating 2 sometime 3 times

This is odd, [mention]Cynnar[/mention] reported the same thing to me while he was doing content dev but I was doing content dev at the same time and didn't have this issue. I believe we were on the same client version as well. Not sure what would cause it to update multiple times for some and be normal for others.

[Ememjr]

maybe its in the script, have you tried bog sludge hunt in starcrest

btw, last night while zoneing i got stuck in client, closed it came back in and even hours later said i still had character in the world

was playing on mogag

Yes the same thing was happening to me, and I was on the Frankenstein I created by adding [mention]Jabantiz[/mention] CoE exe to the 1191(I think) files. Basically CoE.

When I get home I will test this with a different client. Also will try different quest. Maybe ones that [mention]Ememjr[/mention] are having the problem with, and ones Jabantiz is not having problems with.

Also it seems like I've had this issue before, bit I don't remember a solution, or even discussing it with Jabantiz until now.

I have seen this very rarely but I can't track it down as it seems random. I wonder if it has something to do with a /reload quests but could never confirm that.

[Ememjr]

hmm i will try it without reloading quests, i did happen to reload quests a couple times prior to doing that quest
( was updated spawn ids to complete others
