So a few of us gathered and we figured out what's wrong with the quest that's preventing people from finishing the quest.

For people who are still stuck, there's 2 reasons, 1) if you started this morning and you logged out before they fixed the 3rd slot trigger, you now receive a different version of "Caught in the act" quest that Naoko won't recognize and neither would Jymmy.

For people who are still stuck, and started after the fix to the 3rd slot machine trigger, you spoke to the "switch" before finding all 3 triggers. A bug makes it so that triggering the switch before getting the quest "caught in the act" version A, will forever make Naoko repeat himself. And you will not be able to finish the quest on that character again.

Rumored 3rd glitch: All of the people in my guild that successfully completed the quest, has chose to "Buy the contract outright for 100,000 Zeny" from Old Lady Kroot. Not sure if this is coincidence but everyone who used the Bomb Steak option all got stuck.

Most successful way to avoid all potential glitch: Start quest on new character, give up on characters who are already stuck. Buy contract for 100K, do NOT touch the "Switch" on the airship before getting the quest "caught in the act"

All of the above are speculations but good educated speculations as my guild and I have been spending the whole day going through each of the steps carefully to compare all the gliches.

Ticket is too slow and it can't be stored (char bound) should be made account bound instead like every event headgears that happened.

This is where I'm stuck at. I even got the switch to work for me this morning before the fix but I assumed it was for some other quest so I exited the area. Needless to say I can't get there again despite having "Fire the Cannon" in my quest log.

I chose the contract option and I'm still stuck at the Naota/cannon part.

Ohhhh, that was for this quest? I got to it just now and also assumed it was some other quest so I just walked out of it. Well damn! I chose the 'competition' option for the record.

To clarify what I did on the ship: Talked to Naota, then set up the three things like he said, went back to him and he asked if I'd done it so I assumed I'd done something wrong and did all three again. Talked to the Dealer who just said something like "Do you want to play a game?", back to Naota who was now repeating a line about his job on the ship. Then went to Jimmy who kinda just told me to go away, then in my random clicking around I flicked the switch and dropped down.
Due to no one on the quest mentioning doing anything past setting up the three things by Naota (Or maybe I misread, I was kinda skimming it) I had no clue I was supposed to do anything on this new map and left.

I did the quest uptil the part where the 3rd slot machine is missing this morning (~9 or 10am PDT) and was able to finish the quest. What I did do this morning: Checked both the slot machines; What I didn't do: Touching the switch before any slot machines or get the switch to send me down a floor.

Oh, I was arm wrestling with the old woman, if that helps.

Sorry but your wrong as I A) didn't talk to the switch at all yet, I didn't go beyond the 2nd slot machine this morning as the 3rd one didn't exist due to the bug so I waited till the fix went in and tried it again this evening and found the 3rd slot machine then I talked to the Dealer after ensuring I had the Quest Entry's the wiki stated I should have. After talking to the Dealer it gave me the Quest "Caught in the Act" which instructed me to talk to Naoko. I haven't recieved the quest Fire the Cannon yet as Naoko and Jymmy won't even talk to me. So please stop stating you have a solution when you don't know what your talking about.

The point is they have to run their quests at least like once by hand before a buncha people get their hopes up. Hopefully it gets fixed though there are so much glitches I don't even know.

Speaking from my own personal experiences, even if you test it with yourself and 2 or 3 dummies and it runs okay in testing something will still go wrong when you go live. Software is never right the first time *points to MS Windows' hella loong list of security updates*


I know that Oda said he tested it pretty good on a test character and it was running fine

But they are fixing it and the feedback you guys are giving is helping immensely with the process, so keep it up!
