Make the items you need a special quest only version that you will only find while you have the task active:

Copy/paste the Salewa, change the name to something unique like "Shipment C Salewa Kit" and give it a unique icon colour like the radio jammers etc.

no. its not an option to do it like this.

Then how does the description and lore explain the item you already found not being suitable? Tushonka is Tushonka.

Efforts thus far demonstrate that this style of quest is incompatible with good game design.

some quests have attempts to explain it. other than that it's needed conventionality

If you want people to not know what items to collect, then you need to randomize the required items for the quest so they change every time and are different for each player.

bad idea. quests are not just task. it also description, related to lore

ok, but we have changed Stirrup now... and ok, the explanation is also included in the text. But that's not what I mean.

My point is: is this the direction that the tasks should take. I play EFT from the beginning of the alpha tests and personally (I say for myself) I would like to participate in serious tasks (because PMC is a serious business :P). No offense - I ask questions because I am looking for answers.

serious quests (storyline quests) are not in the game yet

I can see your point, but at the same time if I collect some armor to use later only to find out it's needed for a task, it makes sense that I could just choose to hand it in now instead of having to wait.

Maybe it's not a big deal, right now the community is going through that shock of transitioning from being able to power through tasks to having to take it slow, maybe we'll just adapt to this over time. Either way, thanks for the responses, I've been having a ton of fun so far this wipe!

you totally got the idea - it's need to be settled down. as i said - probably this thing will need a couple of iterations to complete. The idea to get rid of this preliminary item gathering and superfast quest completion

Thanks for keeping us in the loop! Is there a plan to change the 'found in raid' tasks to allow items that are found in raid before the task is accepted to count? I think making them found in raid only is a great idea but for super rare items like flash drives it could be pretty discouraging to find one ahead of time and know that it won't count.

i'm not sure. cause its kinda unrealistic to know what will you need in future quests, that you can't foresee

punisher quest line is about some mysterious people making trials. they give strange and difficult tasks to ppl to test something out. to test upcoming arena, which they are making (and all of this info is in quest's discription). also punisher is hi-end quest line - its not supposed to be easy.

I was pretty sure it was already planned, just it would be nice to get it sooner rather than later. I do appreciate the additional low level helmets and backpacks that have been added recently, rigs just seem to be the area with the most stagnation since the first alpha days.

added triton rig in this patch btw

It is there. Send a screenshot of that location if you do not see it. This only applies to those who had it before. If you did not, obviously it wont be there now.

What happened to the last Christmas gift we were given? There should be two gifts for those of us who have owned the game since early 2017 or before.

When the gifts were added, it was announced that the gift lasts for 6 months time. And we actually did it for a whole year and updated it with other sets in 2018.

And remember, this is not part of your purchase package. This is an additional GIFT which is labeled to only last 6 months. 

Thank you!

The 2017 items were updated/replaced by the 2018 gifts. We made an announcement of this when the 2018 gifts rolled in. You can redeem the 2018 gifts under your profile as always:
