Percentage of quest completed off??

[dichuy]

dizzy,

Each time I kill/sink someone for an item in a quest I get a grey box on the far left of my screen stating what I aquired from them. Do you not get this? Or do you and you just find it annoying that the %s are not adjusting?

The percentages are not wrong they just are confusing. for example if you need to sink 5 navy ships you also need to go back to whomever gave you the quest to be complete so it really is 6 tasks not 5.

hope that helps make sense of it for you

Yes I get this box that tells me item found or not found.

I'm just curious if its a bug or a sign to us how much work a quest will be when you are looking to recover things from the different enemies. Because like you said you do not always get an item for every eg. wasp you kill. So you may have to kill 10 to get the 6 items you need.

So if you need to recover five items each one you recover should be 20% towards the goal. So what I'm wondering if its predetermined how many you have to kill to get all five items (and even this number could be different for each person). And the percentage thing is a way for you to gage how many more you will have to kill. This would be especially helpful on the harder ones. Well for me it would make me at least feel like I was getting somewhere if I saw the percentages going up. For my part I'm sure this is just hopeful thinking. It's probably just a bug they haven't work out yet.

I was just curious if anyone had noticed a pattern to this. :h-smile:

When you complete a quest task that you kill/sink a target and need to search for an item it sometimes just doesnt find what you are looking for (yesterday i had to sink 5 navy ships before i found who i was supposed to find on board) i am guessing they add a probability percentage to find said item/person when the task is done, so sometimes you wil find it every time, while others may need to complete the task again ... its all based on probability percentages.

The percentages are wrong. My husband and I were at the exact same place in our quests, yet we showed different percentages complete. Also, my overall percentage for the list will sometimes go DOWN. And one day, my percentages were all over 100% complete - one was even in the thousands!
