Fewer Tears Perk - The Minel bug Explanation

[Burn]

The issue (until next server update):

 

The server is only counting up to 250 when you do Minel's quest. That is, if you do Minel a 251st time, the counter goes back to 0 (resets due to overflow).

 

If you've done Minel close to that many times, you'll need to stop doing Minel to avoid losing your count, until you've redeemed the perk.

 

 

Redeemer will tell you how many times you've done it if you click that you want Fewer Tears and are missing qualifications.

 

 

 

 

This will no longer be an issue after the next server restart. However if you've regularly done Minel for a long time, your count may be lost.

*bump*

 

This bug was fixed for Daritha count, however it's now been found there's an issue with the Minel count. If you've done Minel dailies a lot and are wanting this perk, read, and go to Redeemer to check and make sure you stay under 250.

Redeemer is showing today that I have completed 255 Minel missions. I should stop?

That's oddly high... I'd recommend erring on the side of caution and stopping until the next server update. Or until the perk is gotten, whichever comes first.

I'll have to risk it. Too much engineering xp to forgo... to stop doing daily for a month

Good news is that Minel bug was fixed unless there is a bug with bug fix.

[darrock]

It's fixed.
