How long....

xydsxlegend · May 2013

Hello guys,
I am sure someone asked this before but I didn't feel like looking for it. I apologize about that I know that is really lazy. Anyway, does anyone know how long before your foundry mission show up? I made 3 then sent them out about 4 days ago. I check this morning and they are still not there. Is there something else I need OR I am just playing the waiting game? My gf told me that her went out in about 5 mins.

The first, very short, quest I published was available immediately ingame and disappeared again after a few days. Now I tried a second one about 2 hours ago and it will not show up.

This is either a bug or a feature to only let established authors publish quests anymore?

There have been a bunch of posts of this same behavior. It seems to be a bug of some sort as quests used to show up within 30 minutes at most.

Cool thx guys, I was thinking that it was a bug but wasn't sure. Hopefully there will be a fix some.

Yeah I published my first quest several hours ago and it's still not showing up either

Was really excited to see it published and am now somewhat crushed that no one (not even myself!) can access it

Can you find it via the "shortcode". If you have the shortcode can you publish it here?

I can find mine with the short-code, thanks

//edit: quest disappearing-bug in the real game, wonder if this is quest or game related... FYI, this bug is fixed by twice logging out and in again, happened to me with a couple of Foundry-quests.

I can only see your quest, called The Worm Pits, via the shortcode. I can not find it via searching for it via title or via author.

Unfortunately not, but at least I know it is published and the rest is a buggy search engine for content I assume.

//edit: OK, this seems to be related to the last map-travel... not ready yet

Wow! Thank you very much! The "Short Code" work great. If you put in NW-DLBH44X6 then subscribe you would be able to see all my foundry! Thx again guys

P.S. Type code under "Best" tab bc it didn't work for "New" tab.

Hi everyone, I have a question, but cannot post my own thread (which kinda sucks as I have PWE account for over year and NW account for like 4 days now) and have question. I know already how to find my quest, but I don't see it in "subscribed" tab. I've subscribed other author and I can see his 3 quests but I cannot see my own (I have subscribed myself the very same moment I found it, then tried to unsubscribe and subscribe again - no difference).

My quest only shows up if you search in the "best" search, and it's only a non-submitted quest. I saw it once in the review section but now I can't find it. Also, I got one comment on it which I can see in foundry but not in-game.

There's just a lot screwy with the listings...

When last I checked last night (several hours after publishing & receiving the confirmation in-game mail) my quest still wasn't showing via any method of searching, not even short code NW-DI3LX4M93 (though not sure if the I is a 1 but have tried searching for both permutations to no avail).

Maybe something went wrong, no harm trying to republish the quest. It should be found via short-code immediately.

As for now, I rather use the short-code and review requests from this forum than the actual search engine ingame (too much boring stuff to go through, which is promoted by 'non-questing'-players).

The submission for review is, as the tooltip says, for quests which are throughoutly tested and finalized. So I will never submit my quest for review until the bugs are fixed in the game for example no background music, quest disappearbug if chest is in an adventure-zone etc.

This search feature in the foundry is experiencing issues.

The quest disappearing issue is a pain in the butt, and probably accounts for some quests having very low play counts.

What I have determined causes this, is anytime a private map(author made) has a transfer to a public map(like protectors enclave) the quest has very high chance(personally around 80%) to disappear from the quest log until a few re-logs or sometimes even rezoning. a way around this, while not ideal, is to bypass public maps altogether. So when you leave say a building in protectors enclave, have the next map be the next custom map you made, rather then have players exit into PE, and walk to a gate.

How long....
