I’ll start this by saying I know not everyone has this bug. My friends, in fact, don’t experience this at all. Water buckets for them work 100% of the time. But for me, they do not.
There are various tasks that require the use of water buckets to extinguish fires, water crops, wake drunks, etc. And for me, they’re buggy as hell. They always have been, which is MASSIVELY frustrating for me, especially because no one else I’ve talked to has this problem. No one! My friend literally has zero issues using buckets at all, it works for her 100% of the time, every time no matter where she stands near the crops/fires/etc. And we’re doing the exact same tasks. It works for her, not for me. I’ve tried this SO many times, moving around, pouring buckets upon buckets of water in different positions, swapping to fresh buckets, standing close, standing far away… it seems like random luck when it works, IF it works.
If we can get this bug addressed, please, that would be massively appreciated. I understand not everyone has it, but it’s so infuriating and frustrating when I play with my friend who just tips a bucket over a few times and she’s done with the task and for no good reason at all it never works for me so I have to grind on monsters or whatever else.
Again, I understand it’s not a huge issue, but to me it’s maddening!!
Tasks I know of that have this issue are helping farmer Diah in Queensdale, using water buckets on the corn crops, and also extinguishing fires at Fort Salma (I think) in Kessex Hills. I know there are others that have this problem, but frankly I assume the problem is with me and not the tasks since other players don’t have problems with them.
It occurs on all of my characters regardless of profession. I play on Anvil Rock, and I don’t know what other specs would be helpful to know about my game setup. As I said, I assume the problem is on my end, but I have no idea what it could be! Can anyone please help me figure out why this random thing simply refuses to function properly for me?
