@loraxxe Your hypothesis that the missing contract problem is tied to the bug leftover from the Year 2 Yule event is worth investigating. It would be reasonable to suggest this problem may go away once the festival concludes... but who knows how many Opals we will miss out on because of missing contracts until then.

@Ubi-Keo Since my previous video did not explicitly display prominent proof of TU 1.5.1 being installed, here’s another video for the missing contract today. Like everyone else, I seem to only be getting another repeat of the Thieves Couple.

today is the very first time, since Bugvalla has been launched, I see "Thieves couple" 3 times in a raw

@orldan : usually the bugs with daily quests when a festival was active were : "disappearing daily quest once taken", a wrkaround could be to take quests one by one at 2 different Reda's friend, this time it is : "no animal quest" with no single workaround

all tests done after quitting the game and shutting down the PS4pro between each change

Does the the game team need the list of each time the "Thieves couples" appeared since Valhalla was launched ?
Note : as I made a 1 month break, I have only 60 occurences to transmit


[ PS4pro & AC ValhBugalla all up-to-date // Manual Cloud Saves = done ]

• When did you notice there was only one Daily Contract (Date/time)?

After the latest update

• Have you tried changing your level scaling at all?

Yes

• Did this cause the quest to reappear?

No

• Have you encountered this issue before TU 1.5.1?

No

• Can you please provide an image of the missing Daily Contract, as well as which Daily Contract is available to you?

How many of you started second batch of Mastery Challenges? There's a theory it causes the animal contract to be missing permanently.

@bielik01

I have started those, yes.

@bielik01

I started none [EDIT], none of new set of challenges, I didn't made any since months ago, so I don't think it's playing them (the 2nd set) that causes this bug
But it can still be related to their implementation in the code

Note : I even don't know if there is a specific event or dialog with the woman about them as I just restarted Valhalla after a 1 month break

In case someone would wonder : buying any item with tokens from the festival does not make the bug happening = I still took nothing from Norvid and I had the bug as everybody.

@bielik01 Only the first. The stuff was so infuriating I won't touch 2, ever.

@bielik01 I did play a Bear challenge, but then I stopped because of the ongoing missing XBox Achievement problem. I am not going to continue playing something if tracking for an achievement doesn’t exist.

It’s an interesting hypothesis, but what’s the connection between the new Mastery Challenges and the missing Reda contracts?

@thenorfolkian maybe automatic change of difficulty settings? But yeah, previously disabling Level Scaling worked, and now nothing works at all.

@bielik01 Yeah, that’s a good hypothesis, but as you observed, any settings with level scaling does not resolve this issue.

Hello, I've also had only one quest from Reda, level scaling to default solved the problem up till the update came out. Now no level scaling is solving the issue. Here are the videos.
From a couple of days ago-

Three quests today but "The Thieves Couple" for the FOURTH day in a row

@xbl_laberbacke Yeah, I’m starting to wonder if there’s a separate bug that is causing the Thieves Couple to keep appearing.

@ubi-borealis

1. April 19, after 1.5.1 Update. There was only one daily quest available and weekly as usual. This problem repeated itself at least two more days since then.
2. I did try to change the level scaling (to default), quit the game and restart it. Did not help.
3. Yes, in two cases. Kill an animal quest was not available in Ireland and Frankia (now it seems to be not available in England too). Workaround was changing location to England. Also level scaling prevented to get one of the daily quests appearing. Workaround was changing level scaling to default.

This has got to be a bad joke, "Thieves Couple" #5. Well, at least it's close to a fast travel point.

@xbl_laberbacke

maybe they could have added an extra target for each day to make it less tedious

@spirantcrayon22 I got ambushed by the three optional wolves. Does that count?
