So currently there's speculation that the Avenge challenge is bugged. Yet some players are getting avenges in the middle of nowhere and in small bandit camps. So we want to test out this theory. For the next 5 days we want everyone across all platforms to go to 1 specific location, remove all your armor, and die in that area. We want to see if avenge bodies will start popping up.

So I'm missing the Colorful Raven aviary skin, all 4 Ostara Scheme tattoos, all 4 Flower Hair cosmetics, and the Flower Beard Scheme from the Ostara Festival after the 1.2.2.1 patch.

RUNE #5 HAS BEEN FOUND!!! (Assuming there has to be 9 now)

So the new weekly challenges have posted and unfortunately one of the new timed challenges is avenging a players deaths which we cannot complete since the functionality doesn't exist yet. So now we have a Core challenge for avenging 10 players deaths that can't be completed and now a weekly Timed challenge to avenge player's deaths that can't be completed. Any chance Ubi can update the Timed challenge at least so we can at least collect the Opals from a challenge that can be completed?

Here is a cleaned up version I posted on Reddit so you don't have to scroll through all the comments our the Ubisoft forum testing thread.

@imaginaryruins Very frustrating since it prevents you from completing the Fishing Hut delivery missions and therefore prevents you from getting the Swordfish melee weapon and completing the Ubisoft mission for wielding it.

@melarlo What's funny is I was in that cave last night when I was exploring the Eurvicscire area. I kept looking at all the markings on the wall in that room seeing if somehow they aligned to the current rune locations potentially giving insight into where others might be. But it didn't result in me finding anything new though.

@alphagoose46219 Can you please post screenshots? I just want to confirm that they are BIG Flatfish since they spawn in England but the BIG Mackerel should only spawn in Norway. A screenshot would help a lot of us who have search countless hours trying to complete the quest. Thanks in advance

@yesin069 And you are absolutely right. A little stronger communication with the player base on a regular basis wouldn't hurt. There are members on the Discord group but communication about progress is limited even there. A big point you make is that some people are not able to understand when things are out of their hands. The patch is out there waiting to be verified prior to release similar to smartphone app stores. Likewise, the development team is already working on the next patch. They have bugs/work items already targeted for the next build. So hypothetically speaking, when you have a near 75% full schedule for the next patch, what happens when you get unexpected cases, new bugs, etc. that pop up. Based on severity, criticality, etc. you prioritize them which then means some of the stuff you originally targeted for the next patch gets pushed back because of another more critical item. I guess my point is while some seem to have a grasp on the release process a lot don't have a good understanding of the schedule, development, and internal test process.

Each of us have our own priority list. I'd love for fish to be fixed but the impact to the game / story is minimal compared to main quest bugs that prevent progress. Am I annoyed fish haven't been fixed yet? Yes. Do I understand why? Absolutely. But me flooding the forums with new threads about issues that are already known won't make it any more of a priority or get fixed any sooner. After the last set of patches, it seems like they have their schedule set on a monthly release with the middle of the month typically being the release timeframe. So they get a solid sprint of 2 weeks development, 1 week of testing / post-test development fixes, and then 1 week post-release for verification. There's a lot of moving parts in the development world.

Enough rambling from me haha. Here's hoping to some awesome fixes and new content coming our way next week!

@ubi-woofer Unfortunately not sure what you would want in a picture or video. I mean we could go to the Flatfish spawn point and show a video of an hour fishing and getting nothing but small and regular and showing no big flatfish and we could do likewise with Mackerel in Norway but I don't see how they would provide any insight for the development team. Obviously the development team knows where the spawn points are and if they use a release build they should easily see that something is preventing them from spawning or at least in a playable area. I've noticed a few times that if I tried shooting other variants of big fish that they will sometimes fall through the floor. So not sure if those fish are present and just under the fishable area or what.

@ubi-keo Apologies for the delay as I've been out of town but here are the images requested:

Property Tab (Settlement Tree): Missing "Engraved Tree":

Property Tab (Deco Set): Taranis Settlement Set Present: /

Settlement Showing Engraved Tree Present and Applied:

@ubi-keo I checked the "Property" section and under the "Settlement Tree" section, I do not show the "Engraved Tree" as an option BUT under the Deco Set it does show the "Taranis Settlement Set" which contains the 4 settlement icons for the non-tree decoration markers. So not sure if the Property > Settlement Tree section is only set to show non-purchased items but the other sections will show partially owned (e.g. 1/4 (items owned)). Not sure if anyone else can verify that they did not purchase the tree and also does not show the tree under this section.

@ubi-borealis As requested, here is a short video showing my Xbox Series X on patch 1.2.2.1 with no Settlement Pack for Taranis:

@ubi-keo So I went to take a video this morning and it was now present in the Tree Settlement icon. You can mark this issue as resolved/closed now. Thank you for looking further into it. However, I still can't see the Taranis Settlement Pack in the Helix store though.

Just as an update, I never received the Engraved Tree (Taranis Settlement Pack) item from Reda after purchasing it yesterday. Today the Hearthweru Sail was at Reda. No issues purchasing that item today but I still did not receive the Engraved Tree nor did I receive my opals back.

I tried to buy the Taranis Settlement Pack (Engraved Tree) from Reda today for 35 opal. The 35 opal was deducted from my overall opal total (went from 644 to 609) but I did not received the item. When I close Reda and go to a settlement icon (the large tree) the Engraved Tree is not present. When I got back to Reda it is as though I did not purchase it (no checkmark). When I attempted to purchase it again, the opals are not deducted a second time but I receive an error stating that I've already received the maximum amount (see screenshot below). I have tried saving, quitting, and then reloading the save with no luck. I have closed the game completely and reloaded my save with no luck. Additionally, when I go to the Helix store to the Settlement Packs, I DO NOT see the Taranis Settlement Pack available for viewing which I believe could be an potential link to the problem. I am on Xbox Series X and have confirmed that other Xbox users do see the pack. So why is it not showing for me, how will I get the item, and/or how will I get my opal back since I did not receive the item?

@NeOVoltron @spirantcrayon22 I only have 1 Ravensthorpe thing in my list and I have all 31 locations. The location I have on my list that is not on your list is the following:

@jctraya I don't think it was intentionally removed. I've also compiled a list of everything I'm missing and it's all from Ostara Festival:

@wardenrae

UPDATE: So the Raven issue appears to be related to patch 1.2.2.1 removing the colorful raven from the festival reward. If you are using this one prior to patch 1.2.2.1, your raven call button will not work. You need to go back to the Stable and Aviary and select another aviary skin.
