PLEASE READ – Important Changes to Queued Quest Rewards!

[Elrar]

Hi everyone,

We’re changing around the way that Queued Quest Rewards work and wanted to take a few minutes to explain how this impacts you!

First off –

You might be asking “what in the ward is a Queued Quest Reward?” Good question! It’s the general term for any quest that leaves the diamond shaped loot icon at the top of your screen. Most likely you’ve noticed it when completing dungeons.

So what are we changing?

We’re adding a maximum number of pending Queued Quest Rewards to prevent stockpiling rewards and XP for future content. This means that if you have any Queued Quest Rewards that you’re saving we highly encourage turning them in before 1.8 Arrives.

We strongly recommend claiming all Queued Quest Rewards at this time – you may lose the rewards if you have excess turn-ins when 1.8 is released! Be sure to get any XP, marks, and money as Customer Support will be unable to restore the lost rewards for you.

This change reflects similar limits used by other systems (like rift loot) and ultimately will save us all some frustration down the road – thanks for bearing with us!

In that same light – we’re also making some changes to how Queued Quest Rewards behave to make it more convenient and ensure you don’t miss out on the rewards they offer:

• Cash and XP only rewards will pay out automatically as soon as you complete the quest. However, you’ll still have to manually redeem Queued Quest Rewards requiring you to choose a reward. (This will not be retroactive, you still need to loot outstanding quests before 1.8!)
• You’ll be notified when you’re getting close to the maximum number of pending turn-ins.
• You’ll always have access to the most recent Queued Quest Rewards with the oldest being replaced when you exceed the cap.

This is just one small change in Update 1.8 and there's a lot more to be excited for with new features and content just around the corner!

So, does that mean ID comes tomorrow? JUST KIDDING!

[Riane]

Thanks for the heads up!

Glad to hear!

Elrar, will the PA cap be lifted before 1.8?

Even if the PA trees themselves are unavailable until after the patch, I'm sure the people who are capped would like that XP to still be worth something.

[Draidiard]

sooo when does 1.8 drop?

[Jinjah]

"Before 1.8" is quite vague.

Would be nice to have an actual date

[Nnnxia]

So if i had max PA 1 month ago and I had been stacking these queued quest rewards since that day... they will all become 0?!??!!? Any way to redeem the XP lost?

[Elrar]

If you forced me to tell you I'd say next week - but nothing is for certain until we give an official arrival date.

If you're wondering how much time you have to clear out your Queued Quest Rewards I'd recommend just getting it done at your earliest convenience, but we're not going to spring it on you tomorrow

Cheers,
James

Ist possible to let us know what is the "Queued Quest Reward" limit?

[tirubon]

I assume that Planar Attunement points can still be saved up, i.e. if I've completed Tier 2 I can keep saving my points for when Tier 3 opens--or do those points need to be spent, too?

They will not become 0 you just take them now and still get marks like everyone else thats caped and been doing the experts and not stacked them. They hard caped PA for a reason.
Everyone knew that that there was a cap to it. And this was not a known thing that you could do this.


Why this made the "PLEASE READ" level topic was that some players knew about this, And when they transfered to PTS they got ID marks from this stacked up quest. Then though when 1.8 hits we will get "free" ID marks and just kept stacking MM and experts.

ID marks conversion was an exploit. They fixed it.
Then they evaluated if they want people to have this things stacked up XP wise then said no its not fair to the other players.
The Exp stacking was probably not going to be a problem anyway, since every sane person is going to take the ID marks in 1.8 anyway u will lose 19+marks every week during progression for 3.5lvl stacking every week?
