Masquerade starting quest unable to abort/remove/finish

rainer

I haven't run the masquerade quests on all of my toons. The ones that I didn't, still have the "Join the Masquerade" quest in the quest journal..

I cannot finish the quest, since the guy is gone, and abandoning is disabled for this quest for some reason....

How to remove this quest? I like keeping my quest journal tidy...

(Is this considered a bug? Not sure where to post this)

I had it added to my character after the event. :-(

I hate it because it keeps trying to force me to put it as the priority and yet I can't finish it. I also hate it because they locked it for some reason so you can't abandon it.

Support said only the developers could help.

They say they knew about it and they are working on it on another thread, but I get the feeling it is such a low priority that they will end up just letting it run until next year and then we can get it off our journals.

I hope going forward they do not lock such quests so they can be removed after an event closes.

Yeah, I had that quest on my OP all year and wasn't able to finally get rid of it until Halloween.

I guess it's better than back before Mod 6 and the old quest to collect goodies from the merchants in IWD. When I tried to drop that quest, it caused that character to also quit the gg guild I was in.

Hmmm, ok at least it is acknowledged as an issue... Hope they fix it soon.. I have the same annoyances... and for some reason x-ing the quest doesn't work fully

They thought they'd fixed it but it didn't work - the only thing you can do is use the 'hide quest' option and forget about it.

I would gladly do that if the "Hide Quest" option worked. Sadly I hide it and it unhides itself and reasserts itself as the top priority. I hide it again and .... Over and over again. Thus why it is a pain. If it just stayed hidden I would forget it was there and not care.

I also have to admit I just do not understand why it is locked when given in the first place and why they can't unlock it so it could be abandoned. Seems like that is something they could do to fix it.

EDIT: Just as an example: Tonight the Hide Quest failed five times and the quest took over as primary until I reselected the quest I was in the middle of completing.

I really wish they had either not given me the quest AFTER the event or at least didn't lock it so I could dump it.

This made me think, if they know the fix didn't work does that mean they are still working on it?

@asterdahl Is this still on the list or is it a dead dream to get this fixed?

Like I said above, it would not be an issue except it does not stay hidden and keeps exerting itself as the primary quest.

@asterdahl Is this still something that is being worked on? Is there no way to just make it so it can be abandoned?

I mean this was added to my character about an hour after the event was "closed". I can't tell you how many times this has re-exerted itself to take over the journal. Please please either make it so it can be abandoned or turned in or dead so it stops trying to push it's way to the primary slot for quests.
