Got Ourselves A Quest Glitch :/

Real quick; Creeper infiltration is bugged for my level 50 assassin. First time around with level 79 warrior, was able to do it fine. Now when I grab the pigman's hide and return it to thomas, he replies with the message he'd say if I hadn't yet completed the task. I also tried to enter the mask shop, but it kicks me back out. I've tried switching servers, doing /kill. Any suggestions?

 

It's kinda bugged in the quest book for me, I've done it, yet it says I haven't :P

 

@Undyne it's your time

 

it got revamped in the update so if you'd done it before the update then it has become uncompleted again. same with Out Of My Mind

 

You may not be on the right stage. You need to get the creeper skin first, then the hide. The Mask Merchant unlocks after the hide stage, so once you get the two items back from Thomas you can buy the mask. Make sure the hide is called "Pigman Hide" and has the untradable tag on it.

Also, the old and new quest are different; it's just that the old quest's NPCs have been removed. An invisible symbol was used to reset the quest for everyone.

 

I did get the creeper skin, and I handed it to Thomas, which then led to the pigman hide collection stage. Something I didn't specify earlier was that the server restarted just after I finished talking to Thomas, so it's possible that that's the reason.

 

Try getting the hide again. While the hide shouldn't be susceptible to getting glitched by server restarts, it wouldn't hurt to get it again and try.

Also, @BeeMiner mentioned something on another thread where if your inventory is one off being full Thomas won't update the stage of the quest. If this is the case, clear out some of your inventory and try talking to Thomas again.

I tested this quest again recently and it should be working fine. Try doing the above things I suggested, and if it still is bugged I'll try to find another solution for you.

 

@Undyne
I just did the quest 3 more times and noticed that if two people enter the long tunnel portal to the creeper cutscene (and he explodes putting you onto that bouncy pad), and if one person kills the vine mob, the other player will not get a vine spawn unless you start the tunnel cutscene. It happened each time with two of my classes on same server.

 

That doesn't exactly make sense, since the Creeper Skin is technically a mob and it should respawn after a while. However, since it might be tied into the script, that may be the issue. I just checked the GitHub for a region file and couldn't find one, so I'm assuming the mob is summoned via the script cutscene.

There isn't really anything I can do without modifying the script, which I was not responsible for since I haven't learned how to do script yet. I'll mention it to other CT members so they can try to find a solution to this issue.
