Yeah if you're zoning during the tick you don't get it. Plan accordingly.

They've explained that it a known issue they have no way of fixing without allowing all off-line characters to get credit, enabling people to do the task on 15 characters and get credit on all of them every tick.

Considering it was 6.5k of each realms turn in I was a bit dismayed

Why could they not “erase” what you have in your queue and allow waiting for another tick

Because that is a lot of work for a VERY small gain.

Are you familiar with the code?
It may be a very simple thing to do.

Only characters that are active in the game world are eligible for the task tick, a character is inactive when they are logged out (duh) but also when changing regions, specifically until your client sends an update again from the new region at the very end of the loading screen. There isn't really an way to easily distinguish between zoning and logging out that would not allow you to get the credit on 2 chars if you time it properly. If we would say you have a grace period of 60 seconds from the time you zone, if you time it properly you could just kill the daoc client while zoning, log in another char and turn in one item and you would get it on both.

While it would be possible to fix this, with the switch to NF and hence practically no region changing, this should mostly be a non issue making the required change not really worth it.
