PC Thawfest - Quest Problem: Ruffnut's A Unique Lei quest
First, I have two Vikings: Main Viking is MiserableBergstrom and 2nd Viking is ScrapsBergstrom. My Account ID is CoalBright.
I had no problems when playing today's Thawfest Daily Quests with my Main Viking . . . they were fun and no problems arose.
I then played three totally different Thawfest DailyQuests with my 2nd Viking . . . problems developed with the third Quest: Ruffnut's A Unique Lei. The flower hunt location was Hobblegrunt Island. I found the first two types of flowers. The first flowers were red; the second flowers were white. These searches/finds/pickups went perfectly.
However, looking for the 12 blue flowers did not go well. I did find the first 3 flowers. On the fourth search, I found the right spot, I could not find/see a flower with sparkles around it; there was absolutely, definitely no flower to pick up. I searched for awhile, and then I finally decided to just restart the game and my PC. That did not work; I still could not find the other blue flowers.
So, I gave up and uninstalled the lastest game update, restarted my computer, re-downloaded today's game update, and restarted my computer. Well I found three more flowers and then the same problem occurred. I took a chance, exited the game and then immediately logged back into the game. Yay, I found three more floweres, but that was when I also realized, I was collecting the flowers from the exact same spots that I had located the previous three flowers I had collected.
But now, at least, I had 9 of 12 flowers. You guessed it; again, I could not find the last flowers I needed. I repeat the process of exiting the game and Immediately logging back on the game. Yay, for a third time, I found the flowers I needed, again at the same spots as I found the other flowers. But, at least, I now had 12 flowers, so ended the quest.
Anyone else have a simialr problem with this quest?
I don't know if this is an actual bug or just the program not installing correctly on my PC.

Same. It is probably a glitch. Lets hope it's gonna get fix.
Hi Vikings, thank you for reporting this issue and providing all relevant information. We will pass this along to our team so they can take a look into it.
I think it's worth noting here that I just did this quest today with no problems whatsoever. So, it isn't a global problem.
I didn't have any problems with it either. I actually had problems with a different one, the one where you fly through the rings at the Ship Graveyard. At first the goal post you're supposed to shoot at the end wasn't there so I relogged and when I did the quest disappeared. I relogged again and the quest came back and I had to fly through the rings again. Then when I was asked to shoot the floating boxes, I noticed all of the boxes had disappeared. No amount of relogging will fix it. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game and that didn't work. Every time I'm asked to shoot the boxes, they're just not there. I've still got this quest active because I can't complete it. I'm hoping it will be gone tomorrow since it's a daily quest for today.
Huh. I did that one yesterday, and it worked flawlessly, too. I hope things work better for you and others tomorrow.
Thanks for your response TerrorKatie. Administration, now knows that this was not an isolated event. Yes, we always hope for a fix . . . ;)
