    Hey, i am Stuck at the new "experimental" Tales of Tash Questline.
    I just want to know if that questline goes any further than activating Portals to jump between the starting moons.

    I found some messages in some POIS but couldn't advance the quest any further. But its unclear it thats how it is supposed to work right now or if i can advance any further.

    It's just a series of logs. You find them, read the story, and move on to Omicron. I think there's four on each moon.

    Yep, four on each moon around the gas giant where you start the game.

    Question: Did you start a new game with EXP4?

    I did, though I may have to start again. My key matrix seems to have evaporated after reloading. Might just be from the hotfix, might be a bug. If it goes away again after restarting and reloading, I'll know for certain. Gonna GM into the obelisk for the last logs for now.

    Ok, would be nice to have this tested. The Key Matrix is set to not get dropped on death or so .. strange.

    In a new world, I tried reloading with the matrix in my backpack, toolbar, and vessel storage, and it was there waiting for me each time. I'm gonna chock it missing before up to one-time weirdness from the hotfix if it doesn't happen again.

    Then a different thing happened. Pulling a log from its quest cabinet failed to trigger it. The log just sat in my backpack. I stuck the log right back in the cabinet and pulled it out again, and it triggered normally. I guess my game was momentarily distracted.

    The other 15 logs had no issue, aside from the related Abandoned Drone Base (Masperon) and Dig Site (Akua) combat POIs not fighting me at all.

    Did you remember WHERE exactly that happened? Maybe close to a POI that triggered another message? Like the Activators, Font of Knowledge or Obelisk?

    I wanna say, Font of Knowledge camp I think? Sticking the log back in the cabinet and removing it again was enough to fix the problem, so it didn't really stick in my memory. The problem barely took three seconds to resolve.

    The passive Abandoned Drone Base was more jarring to me. It was basically free red guns and other loot.

    No one did attack you in the Abandoned Dronebase (Masperon) ?

    Nope. Nothing spawned and all the turrets were silent.

    I did one last run through the whole Tale on a new survival game with an SV and some supplies/gear console'd in.

    This time, all the combat POIs worked fine. Angry sentries, golems, and arthropods all around.

    The log entry that didn't trigger right away turned out to be that of the Shack by the Font of Knowledge on Masperon. I'm pretty sure it's the same one as before. I put the log back in the cabinet, pull it out again, and it worked.

    I think with the logs there is a problem when you come close to these POI that send you that "whispering" message. When you pick up the log and have the message at the same time it seems to kill one of the tasks .. either the log or the message...

    Seems to be a new issue that popped in with the public 1.8 release. Log #1 is no longer playing the video and appeared to be showing me the text of the second log.
