Halloween Event (NPC) Bugs [f]

[Alexandrea]

these are popping up everywhere along with the npcs but when you click on them, they just say someone already beat you to them. And when you go back to the grid, they are still there

[Amalea]

I’m getting a ‘you reach your target destination. Begin mission’ message when walking into a specific square in the Shrunken Shrine. I know it wasn’t there a little over five hours ago, though. And I haven’t done anything to trigger a mission that I know of.

[Azraeth]

Merged these topics.

it looks like the issue Amalea reported is that the NPC generator used for the event today created a bunch of assassination missions which don't actually work (like one on a transit station).

I went ahead and cleared the extraneous missions.

I needed to get rid of them because they were breaking some functionality, like making doors unusable etc.

Summoned zombies are also spawning elsewhere, which means people are picking up injuries. I'm not sure if I dislike this or not - so I'll leave it up to David to decide if they should be cleared or not.

For now, just watch where you go, guys!

Also the Oracle and the NADUMA militia captain have spawned elsewhere. i'm also not entirely bothered by this because it's all meant to be a dream anyway.

@Alexandrea: Where are you running into the events? I ask because the ones I've run into, I've been able to complete. Knowing the specific location will help me track down the exact issue - unless David catches this first! <3

Also, this thread has made me realize that Path needs a mention/tagging system for users on forum LOL

To draw attention to threads like this.

David, when you read this, could we possibly add one? A relevant extension can be found here. Though if we don't have the right software for it, I can probably find one compatible with what our forum uses. <3

[Azraeth]

Actually I figured it out.

Fixed!

[Amalea]

NPC are spawning inside privately owned areas.

[Azraeth]

That part is intentional.

[Amalea]

Squee >.>

It was in the CoTD raid but you fixed it before I saw this so I can't give you the exact location.

On a side note, I like the npcs attacking
but I'd be happier if you guys had skipped having them spawning in the tut hub. <3
