Quest Comete but Not Complete

Google search and sifting for nearly an hour only turns up old posts with outdated information. Such the uselessness of search engines.
I have relogged and ran update many times. Your site is not updating.
I did other quests. Ran update. Those became complete. These quests are not updating and have been done days ago.
"I TAKE Candle!"
Coastal Menace
If I find any others in my list to verify that your site is not correctly marking off. I will let you know. This may eventually turn out to be a much longer list. I hope I do not have to check the thousands of quests I have done and do the work for your site not marking or updating correctly. Hopefully there is an underlying problem to fix instead.
That, or a much simpler solution is give a "Competed" option to manually mark quests when your addon/system/web fails. Not an exclude. I do not wish to exclude what I have done. I want it to show done.
Thank you.

This is not a case of our site not updating--this is because we use Blizzard APIs and the APIs will not update until the Armory updates. This is sometimes instantly or sometimes on Tuesdays, it depends on how the Armory is behaving. Sorry for the inconvenience :)

Your reply is illogical and does not follow my statement.
Please note I said:
"I have relogged and ran update many times. Your site is not updating.
I did other quests. Ran update. Those became complete. "
Let me re-itterate. The quests have been done for days. Your site is not updating or there is incorrectness / bug in your site. Those quests are wrong.
Why? Because if your reply had merit. Then I should not be able to do other quests, log off, and have those new ones done show up and credit on my profile and from blizzard. Yet these, long since complete, Still count as not credited. Forward me to the proper script command to run and I can also show the quest as completed.
So, it is on your end. Up to you to do the work to correct the issue.
Of which, I have found more to address.

Next four quest issues and bug on your site.
This is really why I didn't want to bother the extra effort to go thru and Quality test the profiler.
Under Category Uldum it shows 113/116 Quests. However there are 117. I did not make one exempt. The problem lies in that Quest "Hero's Call: Uldum!" shows up under Uldum under the link, however is category Ruins of Uldum. There is a diconnection there.
Hero's Call: Uldum!
You will also find if you try to click on that category in the table it brings up a WoWHead page error. However, if you open the quest link, then click on the category at the top it brings it up correctly. That's another issue.
Check under Incomplete tab and it will list 4 incomplete not 3.
Next issue... the 3 other Quests for Uldum it is counting as incomplete are
Efficient Excavations
- Which is not in game and has been replaced by Quest
Efficient Excavations
Expel the Envoys
Tailgunner!
Will that be a trend. Quests that were not implimented being listed? If so, let me know and I'll make a note double check to exclude them and not bother you further on those.

Quest tracker seems to be working flawlessly for me, perhaps the problem is on your end?

I'm not sure if it is still the case but here is a
quote from Ashelia
back in February of this year:
<snip> the APIs we have from Blizzard are unreliable. For example, over a dozen Borean Tundra quests don't show as complete for various people and we can't fix that. So this could lead to a lot of broken information.
Just a quick update, as you can see Blizzard's API doesn't even seem to have data on the 2 quests listed in the first post
when checking they return the following which is why even though you have completed them the profiler still shows them as incomplete.
{"status":"nok", "reason": "unable to get quest information."}
"I TAKE Candle!"

So, it is on your end. Up to you to do the work to correct the issue. The only people who can fix this are Blizzard's employees who work on the API.

There is always a loss of tone in written media. The tone I get from this reply is incredibly cold and demanding.
I would suggest you try and be a little more appreciative of what is offered and a little less hostile when dealing with the short comings of the profile and its interactions with Blizzards APIs.

i'm not sure what you mean by "ran update", but i wanted to clarify that the only information used in the profiler on the website that comes from the wowhead client application is for the archaeology projects. everything else comes from blizzard's battle.net website, and thus wowhead cannot compensate for incorrect information. in addition to the many bugs with the quests completed information, there are major issues with titles obtained and some companion pets that never show as being learned. these problems have been reported to blizzard, but fixing the website information is not high in their priority list of tasks.

there is an addon that i find far more usefull then the wowhead quest tracking, cause its subject too blizzard their API.
quest completist
, read the instructions how it works and then have it track every single quest you did. and it will show which quests arent done yet. i myself made lot of use of this addon while i was doing northerend and outland loremaster achievements.

Hi Felhunter,
thanks for the tip! Installed it and it seems to do the job. By the way is it not using the same API that wowhead claims to be broken? Dubious ;)
Thanks again
An addon like that has more power since it is running while you are logged into the game and can querry more information.
Cheers,
Hat

yeah hat is right, the addon can track everything directly from the game. while all wowhead quest data is pulled from the armory which is very lacking in some area's. and sadly quest tracking is among those.
so dnt be cross with our dear friends of Wowhead, be sad that blizzard still got a buggy armory after all those years.

It's not using the APIs
, it is manually gathering the data :) We switched to using those so people would not have to have our client installed and deal with errors that come with addon installation; it's possible that we may revisit it in the future, but it made sense at the time to switch to the APIs as they were new and by Blizzard. Unfortunately they do not seem to fix bugs in those, as pets and quests collected have had the same errors for nearly a year now (seagull pet, I'm looking at you).
