Just added quest to campaign; Already gone from New tab?

rogu3ish · August 2013

My campaign has disappeared from the New tab, despite adding a quest to it just a few days ago. Just when I was starting to move up in rating (after finally getting enough reviews) it's just *poof* gone, and along with it the chance that anyone will ever happen to find it by browsing.

Is there any way to get it back on the list? If I add a new quest to it, will that new quest disappear into oblivion as well? Would I be better off taking the latest quest out of the campaign?

I really can't wait until they revamp the UI...it sucks working for nearly a month on a quest just to have it disappear before it even gets a chance.

[EDIT]

Ok, I see now that the most recently published quest is still on the list, but the campaign itself is not. Too bad, as the other quest in the campaign was skewing the adjusted rating upward (thanks to its larger number of reviews), even though the second one is most definitely the better quest.

I guess I'll just have to keep promoting the most recent quest and hope it gets high enough for some visibility before it disappears again.

Just a thought as to a possible cause: If you have an unpublished mission set in the Campaign, it will cause the Campaign itself to not show up, as it is then flagged as an incomplete Campaign. If this is the case, just remove any unpublished missions from the Campaign and only put them back after you've published them.

Don't give up and don't rely on the new tab for everything.
As cryptic said in the 2 million players announcement there have been 262000 foundrys created already.
Make a spotlight, promote your quest. Just like all the rest of us.
I wouldn't even have a clue if my quests made lists at any time if they did "Bonus".

Believe me, I'm not. I'm participating both at Scribe's Enclave and on the Review thread here on the forums, and I'm grateful for the attention I've gotten as a result. But the vast majority of players will visit neither place - they'll find Foundries via the in-game UI.

By the time a quest gets enough attention to be realistically visible in that UI, it falls off the 'New' tab, leaving you to compete for the 40 or so spots on the Best tab. Pretty low odds that someone will stumble upon your quest at that point. I know that's changing, though

. . . . . Yep, please keep sending us those reports on exploit maps! I was just told earlier today that a rather large batch of reported missions/players were in the process of being reviewed for bad things. Despite us not being able to tell you what missions are being reviewed or taken down, I can tell you that progress is happening, and will continue to do so, I promise you all this!

I personally have faith that something is being done. You just have a HUGE backlog of tickets to deal with at the moment. Hang in there. I hope the Foundry becomes the largest jewel in the crown we call Neverwinter.

Thanks Zeb. Good things come to those who wait.
