It seems that since the last GU, item discoveries no longer track on EQ2Players.  No new item instituted since GU 38 are showing up as anything other than "<a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/items/item_profile.vm?itemId=$%7Bdiscovery.item.id%7D" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">$discovery.item.name</a>".  I can attest that this means both for world and server discoveries.  This includes all quest items, spell scrolls, tradeskilled spells, and drops from SoF.  The number of discoveries tracker is still working, as these items are being sent to the list of discoveries on the character rankings page.  I know this was touched upon in another thread, but that was for a particular set of items.This GU introduced new normal drops as well as quest items.  All of these are having the same problem.  Seeing the problem on this scale across nearly all item types means it is a flaw with the system and not an isolated set of items.Hoping this gets fixed soon.

<span style="font-size: small;font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We've identified a bug with the process that sends item discoveries from game side to the EQ2Players web Database. We are actively working on a resolution and it will be up as soon as it's ready. Let us know if you see anything else that might be affected by this bug.</span></span>

Gotcha.  Thanks for the update, Gninja.  The only other thing affected seems to be the Most Recent Item Discovered on the guild profiles for those who discovered any of the recent items that went live.  It lists N/A.  Undoubtably, this is probably drawing it's info from the character profiles, so I'm guessing it will fix itself when the new items exist in the database.

Gninja, using RosterMaster on my guilds website, it pulled a discovery last night or this morning, which im guessing means something is working right <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />" />(hmm, just logged into eq2players and that discovery did indeed populate there)edit: altho it seems to hate me for some reason... i got my 13th unmarked disco, from one of the new LoN loot cards, unless it just hates me, which is entirely possible.

While you are at it, fix the spell/skill ability lists. They currently are WAY out of date and contain MUCH misinformation.
