Quest: Purchasing Powers - Will not complete

The quest "Purchasing Powers" one obtains automatically when reaching level 5 will not complete for my Control Wizard. The quest requires that one open the powers window and then buy or upgrade a power. I think what happened is that I managed to open the powers window before I got the quest, or faster than it could register, and bought the power before the first requirement of opening the powers window was completed. Now, 6 levels later, whenever I buy or upgrade a power each level it does not recognize it and so I can never complete the quest, though it has now recognized I opened the powers window. It seems only the first power purchased or upgraded triggers completion, so a quick fix would be to make any power purchased or upgrade trigger it for edge cases like me that somehow managed to get it stuck like this.

first char worked, second didn't update. the quest is for level 5 and I am 9. could it be that it had to be done at level 5?
Hello
I understand you have a gameplay inquiry. Here are some resources that you have at your disposal:
Our Neverwinter forums: http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/forum.php
Our Neverwinter Wiki: http://neverwinter.gamepedia.com/Neverwinter_Wiki
Here at Customer Service, we work with players who have gameplay problems such as being stuck in the terrain or harassed by another player.
Actual in-game strategies, NPC locations, item uses, etc.. are things that we leave up to the players to figure out themselves, so that they can enjoy the experience of discovery and become more capable players in the process.
If you are reporting a bug, please use the in game bug report feature rather than Request GM Help.
Thank you for this feedback and we hope to see you in game soon!

Pretty disappointing. They did not address the problem or even mention the quest. Probably an automated or copy/paste response.

They closed my ticket and marked it as "Solved".
Either someone that it was forwarded to will get back with me or they're just closing tickets to get the numbers down.

I dont expect to get a valid reply or a fix until well after hitting 60!

This is clearly a near game wide bug, what do you want CS to do ?, manually complete it for everyone ?, that's not feasible in any way, it will be fixed by devs.
To replicate:
@ Level 5 upgrade a power when the "u" pop-up appears, either using P or the Power tab in the pop-up
To avoid the bug:
@ Level 5 wait quite a while for the quest "Purchasing Powers" to appear, then press P
The issue is that the quest is delayed in appearing, which causes issues to new players, as they do not know that a quest will be offered, and to existing players who just want to move on, and this quest can only be completed at level 5
Solutions:
- make the quest complete at the next time a power is purchased or upgraded
- offer the quest at level 4 with clear instructions that it needs to be done at the next level up (next time you level up
- make the quest appear before the 'u' pop-up

You've spent points in every power available already, right? The points you get before hitting 20 should be enough to put 2 points into every power above that line in your power tree -- indeed you have to put 2 points into everything to spend all 20 IIRC, whether you want all of those powers or not. You should have 2 points in every encounter power, at-will power, daily power, and passive power available to you before the line that says "available at 20 points" -- if you do and you still can't upgrade more, it's a bug.
I haven't had this but other people have mentioned it (without mentioning having completed or abandoned the power-purchasing quest), so if everything else in your power sheet looks right but the only oddity is having dropped that quest, I wonder if other people with this problem might have done the same and that might have something to do with it.

Yup, seems to be bugged and after 4 days I have still not gotten a response on my tickets. Did one in game and one on the website, I also went back and updated them yesterday as I keep leveling up. I've got 4 points I can't spend and am level 21 now.
It sucks. Someone on another thread suggested I switch characters in game play, exit and go back in... no luck. I've tried everything I can think of.
I just wish that I would get a response on the tickets.
:mad:

ninjasmom, there should be enough powers where you can assign points to get to the level 20 tier where the ability to assign more than two points unlocks alongside another tier of powers.
You can mess around with this builder to see where it's valid to place points at any given time.

I did a sample build and at 20 points assigned, there were 4 slots left where I could have assigned a point. I'm left sort of wondering if the problem is that you haven't assigned necessary points to skills you don't intend to use... which the game sort of forces you to do at the lower levels.
I don't know exactly how this ties in with the quest hinkiness, but I think you should be able to assign your power points.
