Profession Asset Upgrade Tasks

I'm a referring to tasks such as upgrade platesmith, train a guard, trade iron bellows for steel bellows, etc.


These tasks have a new bug which allows them to be queued even when the assets they use are unavailable due to being used on some other task. And if you queue the upgrade task anyway it will consume ALL of that type of asset the player has. Cancelling the upgrade task only returns 4 assets, if any more than that were consumed then they are now just plain gone.

I haven't yet actually completed an upgrade task this way to see what happens, but I can only assume it will still consume all of the assets and give the player the 1 upgraded asset without returning the extras.

Example:
  • My character had 6 mercenaries, I queued up 2 tasks making use of 4 of the mercenaries.
  • I then queued up the "Train a Guard" task (normally takes 4 mercenaries and returns 1 guard)
  • The task queued, but all 6 mercenaries were removed from my character's inventory.
  • I cancelled the "Train a Guard" task and only 4 mercenaries were returned.
  • My character now has 4 mercenaries, the other 2 tasks remained active but when they finished no additional assets returned.

This needs to be fixed soon.

    Exact same thing happened to me after yesterday's patch. I had some leadership tasks running (4x adventurers and 3x man-at-arms), but could still run the upgrade to hero task. So I did, assuming it'd just kind of queue up when the assets got available again.
    Now the upgrade task has consumed my 3x man-at-arms as well.

    A fix would be nice, indeed. And the return of my man-at-arms...

    Update: Task just completed, and I got my hero, but the 3 Man-at-Arms weren't returned. An interesting thing is my common Guards weren't consumed, only the uncommon/rares.

    I had 15 rank 1 workers, upgrading for 3 rank 2 workers should have taken 12 of them.... It took them ALL and some were working at the time, didn't notice until the task was completed.

    and my odds to complete a Rank 3 task have dropped also... As it is I am getting less than 50%, and with my luck in-game that means 100% chance to fail.

    From Gateway, doing profession quests is definitely not awarding the rough astral diamonds, and I suspect the copper sums were not given either but I don't recall the exact amount I logged out with. It just doesn't feel like more than it was, but I could be mistaken. Not mistaken about the rough astral diamonds. I should have accrued several hundred from quests I'd chosen, but I logged in, prayed, received 375 rough AD and went to refine *all* my shinies in the rough, and had only 375 to refine.

    I did receive XP, however, because I leveled upon logging in.

    Yeah I also have not received any AD or Gold from crafting on the Gateway even after it was fixed. I also lost a miner from the upgrading.

    People who bought profession packs are going to lose actual money from this; it needs to be fixed ASAP.

    Presumably ADs are still being autorefined.

    Did you know that the inventory tab that has been added to Gateway allows you to view your riches AND manually refine your diamonds immediately after collecting them, should you so choose?

    It's quite spiffy.

    The asset losses is a drag for everyone affected by it though.

    Yea. it has me very worried with 4 professions at rank 20 all with the needed epic tools, and at the moment leveling 3 others to 20. I can assure you I will be buying NO asset packs until I am sure this is fixed. I am sure I am not alone either.

    I need to upgrade to a better mailsmith for my DC, and I don't dare do it until this is fixed because it will take me forever to get 4 rank-2 mailsmiths again with me not having spare money to spend on asset packs. I really hope this gets fixed sooner than later....

    It is in the known issues thread, but listed as applying to only two specific tasks. I'm not brave enough to try other upgrade tasks to see if it actually does only those. I haven't finished reading the thread for further updates yet.

    Bumping to warn others. I know it is a pain to reread, but still not fixed.

    I really wish I had known about this post. I had 9 adventurers, just received 2 more from leadership pack, and was told I could upgrade even though all but 2 were in use. Unfortunately it used ALL of them and when I cancelled the action in a panic it only returned 4 of 11. Will this current patch return the missing 7 adventurers once it is complete? I am very doubtful and wonder how I go about getting them back.

    Will this bug only appear if you upgrade assets that are in use?
