Teaching things to other PCs

Submitted by Casey H. on Thu, 4/16/2009 at 6:44pm

Kev's PC has my PC listed as a teacher for a skill in his downtime queue (not active yet as his PC is engaged in learning something else at present). I have not yet received any kind of request to accept teaching him or adding it to my DT queue. Will that only show up for me when said action hits the top of his queue, or is something not working?

You should have received an email offering you links to accept or decline. Check your spam filter for good measure.

If you don't get the email, though, just go to your character sheet and click the, "Downtime Queue," tab. You should see the same links at the top of the screen.

If you have problems doing any of the above, please let me know. The system is very new, so glitches are almost guaranteed.

I do get other emails from the Orn system...as long as it's coming through that mechanism, my filter isn't catching it (and if it was, I would definitely know).

I also don't see any links. Would they only show up if I had things waiting for my acceptance? I won't rule out error on the part of the requesting player...can't see his queue at the moment so I can't be sure there's actually anything related to me in there anymore.

So, just to clarify, when you log in and look at your character sheet, you don't see a series of buttons at the top that say View, Downtime Queue, History?

I ask because I usually use my wife's account to verify that things are working fine for players, and I can see this on her character sheet just fine. If you can't see it, then something is definitely not right.

I see those buttons and they all work. What I did *not* see is any kind of notification anywhere that I have approvals waiting in my queue. I do see things in my queue that are waiting for other NPCs to approve ("Waiting on...") and that are currently approved and haven't come up yet ("Queued").

I thought maybe I was going insane so I just had him add a new action to learn from my PC. This time I *did* get email on it, so maybe it was glitching previously.

Would it be at all possible at some point to add a section to the downtime queue for "pending" teaching in addition to the email that gets sent? Seems like the mechanism is pretty much there and that would probably help keep it centralized.

Fixed. I tested it with Jennifer's account and everything seems to work properly. Check out your character's downtime queue and let me know if you have any problems.
