Are you currently working on the Maps or something.
Not a single square has a ! on it and there are some 30 Quests that are currently Repeatable by my own knowledge of my timing and by the Quest Log.

Well, it could have been a long delay upon opening the Map.
But until now, the prolonged delay on opening the Map while it updates all the squares for their symbols one could not actually click on any square until that update was completed.

I liked part of this 'update' for its Map improvements. But THIS is just awful.

Well now it's EVERY square that coyld have a ! having one. I am done ALL my Quests for the day and ABSOLUTELY NONE are currently available but my Map has dozens of ! exclamation points on it.

Please fix this 'new' feature or remove it until you figre out how to get it right.

Just wait until you are finished some Quests.
Then look at those squares on the Map.
There will be ! marks on them and if you hover your mouse over them it will say that those quests are available, but if you go to any of those squares there is no ! over any character and if you click anyone there is no quest available and your quest log verifies that.

I know it's not a Flash issue since this happens on multiple computers in multiple different browsers, and multiple browsers on the same computer. Perhaps it's just my account that's messed up but how can that be?

Kind of why I categorized this as a BIG bug.

Wel now that's strange.
It's back to normal, again, but it was like that for 3 hours.
I'll repeat the first statement in my first post above, "Are you currently working on the Maps or something."

There are no longer any unwarranted exclamation marks anywhere on my Map, just a few question marks for quests that I'll turn in at the next update.

For a few days now, I have been lacking ! marks on my squares. The only way I know I have an active quest is to go into my Quest Log. They are not showing up with ? marks when I have finished the quests, nor or they listed when you mouse-over the squares.

Someone else, Peter I think, in another thread the first day of the new update reported seeing a square, or several squares, that had repeatable quests to do and also having some done but not turned in yet, have the ! and ? alternating about once per second and figured that THAT was one of the 'map improvements'. Either that was on the map or in a square above an NPC's head. Since that was Friday of a long weekend David or Justin said that they would look into that when they got back to work.
Are they back yet, a week later? There has been no followup in that thread and no response in this thread.

No, they are not. The only way I am sure of any current quests to do is to check my Quest Log, and when I have new Energy packets I know my mining, fishing, Lucas quests are available. When I have completed those quests, it then shows a ? mark and I turn them in. Other than that, there is no ! mark that those quests are available, nor do they show up when I mouse-over those squares.

Hi folks,

This is a very odd report. I'm not sure why this would happen. One of the improvements we made was the cache all the quest notations on the map until we know they changed, in order to improve speeds, so its possible that if that cache got corrupted somehow it could result in no notations, but I can't imagine why all the zones would show notations. In any case, picking up a quest, turning in a quest, or advancing a quest to a new state should cause the cache to refresh with the correct data.

Justin, this is an intermittent bug. Sometimes the ! & ? work correctly and sometimes not at all.

I have 4 quests in the Underwater zone that I completed days ago and will not be turning in until the next update. They do not appear in the Transition zone. But one in the Scientists Castle does, the other Scientists quests I do every day whether or not I'm at max.

So the utility of marking all quests within transition zones is not currently programmed correctly or consistently.

Ugg, frustrated again.
It 'was' that there was no symbol on the Underwater Zone transition square but there was one on the Scientists Castle transition square on the map.
Well now there are no symbols on either.
But hovering the mouse over either of those completely ordinary and otherwise not different visually from the 150+ other squares in the game, it does list the 'quests ending here'.
You just apparently have to know that there are some in those particular zones that are ready to turn in.
Quite the thing that your 'feature' was supposed to do for you.

Seems like a complete rewrite of the whole idea is in order.

p.s. I like Peters (or whoever's) experience where a square with multiple kinds of quests, ones ready to start, ones ready to turn in, repeatable, one-shot, had the symbols alternate. At least alternating from ? to ! is a good thing to know. More so over a NPC's head but also on the map it would be nice.
