Alright, ever since that update (PWI REFLECTION) ADVANCED ENDLESS UNIVERSE- Sub boss chigo, version: Dark Light as been glitched. This glitch happened to me every time i got the Dark Light version of AEU, concluding that this glitch isn't a simple coincidence. I am also assuming that this glitch has happened to many others and I am the first to report it, on forums. I will include step by step screenshots of the glitch happening and things i attempted to do to fix the problem.
The PWI REFLECTION update included a part where AEU Version chigo wouldn't fail if the leader dc or transfer, however it seems it is now all together impossible to fail which means it is impossible to reset, with a glitch that freezes the kill count for both sides!
I took a couple screenshots here are 5 explaining the glitch and attempts to fix.
PART1 http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv82/lagdance/2012-08-08PART1.jpg
AS YOU CAN SEE THE MONSTERS ARE PASSING BUT THE COUNT IS STUCK
PART2 http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv82/lagdance/2012-08-08PART2.jpg
THE LEAD IS PASSED OVER TO ME IN HOPES OF THE QUEST FAILING. IT DOESN'T FAIL AND WE ARE UNABLE TO RESET
PART3 http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv82/lagdance/2012-08-08PART3.jpg
I DELETE THE QUEST, BUT I GET A NEW ONE RIGHT AFTER
PART4 http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv82/lagdance/2012-08-08PART4.jpg
AFTER LEAVING THE INSTANCE, THE QUEST FINALLY FAILS
PART5 http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv82/lagdance/2012-08-08PART5.jpg
I RE-ENTER THE INSTANCE AND GET THE QUEST BACK
PLEASE IT WOULD HELP IF A GM COULD REPLY, I TRIED POSTING A TICKET BUT, THE TICKET PAGE IS DOWN

Were you ever able to reset the instance like this? That quest doesn't actually do anything but display the value of the kill counters similar to the counter quests in TT. It's never been required to even have it so trashing it should have no effect.
The kill counter being stuck sounds like the actual bug but I haven't encountered that before.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

no you are unable to reset the instance, the kill count freezes, and you can't fail or complete. Same thing happened 3 times i came upon this version, only started happening after reflection update0

I would say you post your problem in the new Technical Support Forum, for fast and better response to this issue.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

glitch happened to me also0

Hey everyone, we're looking into this now.
Just to clarify - when you say that the kill count quest was "frozen," do you mean that when you continued to kill monsters, the quest did not change its display?
Also, did you have access to the "Start Over" quest from Luminous Jade? Or did that quest not appear? From looking at the screenshots, I'm not seeing the quest flag over his head, which is definitely unusual.
Any more information would be helpful, thanks!

FYI, I've moved this thread to General Discussion to get more views from players.
If anyone else has had this issue, please let me know. All details are helpful.
Thanks!0 -

The Start over quest never appeared. If you look at screenshot 3, after deleting the quest it automatically pops back up on the quest log. Because we cant fail without getting the same quest right after, it is impossible to reset the chigo instance. But yes we never saw the startover quest.
And thank you very much for the reply! I'll add more screenshots if i come across the version again0 -
Heres a new twist. I was in Morai flying from sandscrape tower to the Luminance elder when all of a sudden this same quest 'Balance of light/Shadow' pops up and inserts into my quest list. I then try to trash it and no matter how many times i click the trash button it comes back and i cant get rid of it.
Edit: It did finally fail and leave my quest list when i left Morai[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

As soon as I entered Morai today the quest poped up. I trashed it and it poped up again. Leave Morai goes away, re-enter morai and get quest again. This is about as annoying as the proposed update of limiting farming to 8hrs or Red Spam heaven.0

the quest popping on and off as never happened to me, only happens when i get the aeu dark/light version, try taking a screenshot and post it here?0

this is unrelated to the AEU gltich.
what you are describing is caused by quest-lag. minutes at illusion stone to teleport into an instance. quests reappearing hours later. turning into a rat in archosaur hours after using the pill in aeu. timers getting stuck at 00:00 in 100 Second Stand rooms in cube. or quest timer of sin detection potions getting stuck at 00:00 for the druation of the entire tw.
but i can reassure you that there is no quest-lag for over a month now. you are imagining it, i am imagining it, my faciton is imagining it the entire server is imagining it. there is no quest-lag. i can save you the trouble of sending a ticket, here is the homeopathic solution: verify your client.0 -

Hey guys, we're really digging into this issue, and the devs are trying to get a fix for it.
Here's some more information that could help us isolate this issue:
1) Before the Balance Light / Dark quest froze up, what was the team status? Positioning, buffs, kill order, etc. Any kind of details could help.
2) What was the team make up (classes, number of members) when it occurred?
3) For the freeze - did the quest count kills up to about 3 or 4 before freezing, or has anyone seen it freeze at 0? Or well past 3-4?
4) Did the numbers appear different in your quest log?
I know it's asking a lot, but we're doing our best, and this information could help.
So the next time anyone comes across this bug, please gather what information you can and post it here or send me a PM. b:thanks
Thanks everyone.0 -
had that glitch also i think;
theres no other way to reset it than to kill the npc
however, i had that glitch once or twice in the bushes option (boss: locen), after forgequest (flames etc) was done we had to kill those 4 wraiths, and quest said "minions killed: 200/4" and kept increasing, but the quest didnt go on
in bushes option the problem is that u cant kill the npc, means we had to reset the instance and start over
the twin boss option glitches as well sometimes
as soon as the mag+phys immune boss spawns u start to dd on those and suddenly u see one of them "falling" through the textures and cant target anymore
usually some1 in pk mode then has to kill the npc in order to let the restart-option pop up, since simple lead-passing only fails the current quest, not the whole quest itself
when u re-do that u usually get 3 bosses standing there, depending on which one glitched u either have 2mag 1ele or 1mag 2 ele immunes...lol
a few times also the very last boss (aurogon) glitched, after first teleport he respawned, but the teleported one was there as well..
note: if screenshots r needed, ill have to look them up, not sure if i saved them0 -
1) Before the Balance Light / Dark quest froze up, what was the team status? Positioning, buffs, kill order, etc. Any kind of details could help.
We were on side oposite the side of mobs spowning. full buffed
2) What was the team make up (classes, number of members) when it occurred?
10 ppl, any class. i dont think its class related
3) For the freeze - did the quest count kills up to about 3 or 4 before freezing, or has anyone seen it freeze at 0? Or well past 3-4?
It freezes on number 4 for both light and dark sides. As soon as first 4 mobs die on both sides
4) Did the numbers appear different in your quest log?
everyone got "4"0 -
thank you Do0cracy for taking this seriously.
this screenshot shows the quest status. it remains the same from the point of taking the quest until the point wehre the squad gives up frustrated. it remains unchanged, no matter how many mobs have been killed or how much time has passed.
as for you your question about the squadsetup, i have to tell you that it doesnt matter. this bug occurs 100% every time the chigo-wing is selected randomly upon starting aeu. the Bug Fix "AEU, Chigo wing: Balance Light / Balance Shadow quests no longer fails if player goes offline or leader changes." from the Patch Notes Version 658 - Released August 8, 2012 is clearly the culprit here!Hey guys, we're really digging into this issue, and the devs are trying to get a fix for it.
p.s.
i also have the quest-lag with all the described negative effects. surprisingly the obvious server-sided quest-lag didn't get any better after i verified my client. b:shocked0 -

Cant have quest lag if I never took the quest to begin with.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

This bug may be caused by something in particular, cause it doesn't always occurs.
Tbh, I've never seen it so far.
I had this version once yesterday and all went well, and got this version again twice in a row a few hours ago, no bug occured...
In yesterday's run and first run of today we were 10 ppl, today'd 2nd run we were 9...
Never got glitched
So I'm guessing there gotta be something that "activates" that glitch.0 -

4. number on quest list was the same
I'll definitely try and upload more screenshots from different runs this week, when i come across the chigo version0 -
Hey guys, thanks for the additional information.
We're still working on this bug, but it's a bit of a tough one.
Unfortunately, for whatever reason, we're having a hard time reproducing it internally, which is part of why we're asking for more information.
Please bear with us as we keep working on this problem!

not sure if this is enough info I'm thinking of just uploading a video, not sure how but would be a fun process figuring it out lol0 -
Thanks for all the screenshots and the explanations ^_^0

I just ran two Chigo AEU instances yesterday, one right after another.
I have yet to experience the glitch, but it sounds extremely frustrating, and I hope the problem is discovered and fixed soon! b:shocked
But something must be triggering it indeed x.x[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

Hey guys, just checking back in.
Anyone still having this issue? We've been slaying gremlins on our servers, so we're hoping things have improved.
Internal tests have indicated that our live servers are laterally stiff, yet vertically compliant.
b:chuckle0 -
I have never been in AEU, so it is impossible for me to have taken the Dark/Light quest. I entered Morai today and *pop* there's the Light/Dark quest thing in my quest log. I had no idea what it was, at first I thought it was some new Public Quest or something...went searching for Luminous Jade to talk to, to 'reset'...of course couldn't find any such person. Weird.0

It just happened to me.
I just spoke with Shroud Knight Synea, to take my daily quest "Buzzard Hunting" and Balance Light / Shadow quest appeared in my quests.
b:bye0 -
Happened to me Today, went into Morie, green quest appears on screen and in log, I have no idea why, and fails when I leave. I have not been in AEU yet, nor have I ever taken this quest from any NPC.There are old Warriors, and bold Warriors,
but there are very few old bold Warriors. b:chuckle0
