I've had the "no loot" issue, plus the "first cast" benefit of many quests is gone. Tonight I got the baby crocolisk quest, which I've always gotten on the first cast in the Mage pool in IF, but didn't get one after many casts. When I went to Stormwind (where the quest actually says to go, LOL) I got one on first cast. Last night, I had to catch tons of Felblood snappers before getting the Monstrous one. Again, formerly a "first cast" item. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/308-daily-quest-quirks#post-4011 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 18:23:58 +0000 Balazar 4011@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I did the "Felblood Fillet" quest. Probably about 15-20 casts, I did not keep exact track. I started fishing for it, got a summons for a dungeon run, and failed to fish it up before I had to accept the summons. In that time, I did get an empty loot window. </p> <p>I returned after the run, and got a few more empty loot windows (as well as regular fish results). I eventually got a regular Felblood Snapper &#38; a Monstrous Felblood Snapper. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/308-daily-quest-quirks#post-4000 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 10:30:55 +0000 Basill 4000@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Just did "the worlds largest mudfish"</p> <p>at first catch.. extreme lag, couldnt loot , couldnt anyting.<br /> 1 min later 1 fish.... fished then normally and after 10 catches it came....</p> <p>so seems abit buggy and looks like its back to catching is not in first cast anymore.. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/308-daily-quest-quirks#post-3998 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 00:44:57 +0000 Gummo 3998@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Confirmed. I tried Bait Bandits, and got an empty loot window. Dropping the quest caught fish as normal, re-taking the quest gave me empty loot. I tried about 10 more casts and got the quest fish. I did not think to try and fish after catching the quest fish but before turning in the quest. I disabled all add-ons and tried overriding auto-loot with no difference (I would get an actual empty loot bag though, instead of just catching nothing, which made what was happening a little more obvious).</p> <p>I also did Crocs in the City on another realm, which DID give me a low-level fish each time (but the first looted fish was very lagged), and the crocolisk as the 2nd "fish" after a few casts. I self-mage-teleported to shattrath after catching the croc with no incident, but servers have been going up and down, so getting kicked may have just been the server. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/308-daily-quest-quirks#post-3997 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 00:33:55 +0000 el 3997@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>From what I've read on the official forums, the daily fishing quests are still sometimes bugged - as they were on the Public Test Realm: <strong>When trying to fish for the daily quest fish, the loot window comes up empty</strong>. This does not happen for every daily quest. I believe that if you continue to catch nothing, eventually the quest fish will appear. Keep in mind that daily quest fish are no longer always caught on first catch - it might take many catches, as it did originally in patch 2.4.</p> <p>There's also a <a href="http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=14498290792">post</a> about Crocolisks in the City kicking a character out of the game when recalling to Dalaran, which I know nothing about.</p> <p>If anyone else has more information, please post below. </p>
