Quest filters for journals?

[CorvitusE]

Hi, I am a fairly new player, so excuse me if I have overlooked something. I have a very large collection of quests in my journal and find it really hard keeping track of where I need to go. I was wondering if it would be possible to impliment a zone filter to tell you what quests you have for the current zone you are in. For example if you are in North Qeynos, only the quests for that zone are shown and the rest are hidden. If this feature already exists please excuse me. All I noticed was that you could hide/unhide quests which can be beneficial but is not really a substitute for some sensible filters. Thank you <div></div>

Actually, this <i>will </i>be on Test soon. It ended up not quite making the cutoff to go to Test yesterday, but we'll have it on there soon. <div></div>

Sort by zone seems to be working.However, when the quest journal initializes for the first time (after you login each day), the drop-down is set to an incorrect default setting. While it says "Sort by Category" as the default for the drop-down, the default setting for the actual quest list is "Sort by Zone".You have to flip the drop-down control twice, to get it to work properly (and match up with what is actually happening in the quest list).

Thanks. I'll pass this along. <div></div>

Indeed it is fixed. The drop-down defaults to "Sort by Category" and the quest listing also defaults to "Sort by Category" now. I think this was part of Friday night's patch on Test.It's very useful to be able to sort your quests by "Current Zone". The current zone that you're in will be at the top of the list in a different color, with the rest of the zones listed in alphabetical order.All of the quests that don't have a "current zone" assigned for each step merely appear at the bottom of the list under the "Unknown" zone category.

<DIV>Would I be able to change this?  I actually like the way it's set up now, I feel it would be confusing for me (I'm blonde :smileyindifferent<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> with the new set-up. Thanks in advance</DIV>

So no worry here, you should be ok using this without confusion <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></span><div></div>
