Lava Leap???

So I've seen this race pop up (people looking for challengers) a couple times over the last couple tests. I accepted this time to see what it was since I've never been assigned that race. However, people who have gotten it, when you ask them, they don't have any idea how they got assigned the quest. Also...I've done all the other races and never been assigned this one. Devs, does this have something to do with the whole "counting instances" thing regarding Canyon Run and other races? kevbob told me that those who did the races really early after the reset somehow didn't get them counted in our streets traveled total (this was in a discussion about the travel leaderboard). Anyway...anyone know any more about this little thing? Oh...and I don't think it DID count my visit to Lava Leap as a street traveled by the way...maybe because it only counts if it's YOUR quest? LOL Anyone wanna elaborate on this thing? By the way, it was quite fun and wacky scenery.

  • Well, thanks Hburger, at least there is some info:) So maybe it's a bug that I've never been assigned it...hmmm.

  • I just did it for the first time last test, as someone else's challenger.  I think I did get a "First time here!" message, so I might have gotten a street-visited credit for it. 

    It was a lot of fun, anyways... especially since I kept jumping off into the lava. hahaha!

  • RM - I have yet to get this quest as well.  I asked Noles (who invited me to the race) what she did to get it and she had no idea.  Maybe next test it will just *POP* up as one of those quest we need to do.. we can hope, can't we?

  • I never got it, either. Hmmm.

  • LOL Mz, maybe we have a bug. Hopefully at some point (no rush) a dev will weigh in here:)

  • I never got this quest either, I played yesterday or the day before for the first time, it was fun, and I got a "you've never been here before!" message on the loading screen, with the accompanying xp boost.  Races don't appear to be tied to skills (maybe they're tied to levelling up?), but who knows.  I hope more are added.

  • Glum - I don't believe this quest is tied to leveling as my friend and I were MUCH lower levels when she got the lava quest.

  • I've never gotten it either. I'm level 45 & have finished all the skills except for the new levitation ones.

  • I accepted a challenge for this quest the test before last, but have never gotten the quest myself. I have finished all of the other race quests. One quest I haven't finished is the give items to so many newbies quest, so perhaps that is a prerequisite?

  • I think it's the next race in a sequence.  You do "The Amazing Race" first as a quest, then the Canyon one, then Lava Leap.  And I think you have to win to get the quest and to move on to the next one.  That's certainly how it seemed to me.

  • Hmmmm. I have won all three races preceding it. I have done the gifting newbies quest. See why I am confused? :)

  • @Rascalmom yeah!  I would be, too.  I just assumed there was a sequence, but maybe it's completely random!

  • RM - yep.. I'm in the same sinking boat as you... confused even more..

  • Strange. I never got the third race. I have no quests to do at this point. I had no idea that there was a race three never mind four. The first two I have won. Maybe a dev will let us know.

  • If the lava race was added after we had passed certain levels, we might not have gotten it.  It's also possible that we just didn't get the quest due to a bug.  Any developers who can explain it?  I want to play it again.  :D

  • Whoa! That's lame — there are actually three races and one multiplayer coin-collection challenge that everyone should have got (if they got the Amazing Race). We found the bug and fixed it so, everyone will have these now.

    Plus, there are several more races coming online.
