A bunch of us on EU-ArgentDawn just had this bug where we couldn’t get any tasks from Big Kinook. I was there from the beginning, and my progress got stuck at 2/5.
I suspect the bug had something to do with a Tough Carp, because it had 0% health when I got the task to tenderize it. Hitting a 0% fish didn’t give a progress point, and the quest tracker just jumped back to the part where you have to wait for Big Kinook to give you a task. I got the carp tenderizing task a few times, but since the fish was stuck at 0% I couldn’t get past that task at any point. Others had the same issue, as I saw a bunch of people complaining they were stuck with the quest and Kinook wasn’t giving them any tasks.

Same thing happened to me
I now have Aiding the Accord: A Feast For All quest on all of my characters. Last week some of them had to do daily quests, some take part in a hunt, but now I’m expected to do feast on ALL OF THEM? I Just tried to do feast on 1 character, and got stuck to 3/5 tasks, because Big Kinook just bugs out.
Do you guys realise how many community feasts I have to do this week, if I can’t even finish one feast on one character? This is getting ridiculous.
EDIT: I just noticed you only have to do 1/5 for Aiding the Accord quest, so I guess with luck I might get 1 task done on each of my characters. But still, I’d like to be able to finish 5/5 tasks for the community feast quest as well, without having to do multiple feasts.
It bugged for me and I didn’t even get credit for it but it finished. I was there the entire time too. 
Was there for 9 mins with no orders given at the soup event. The amount of orders handed out has seriously decreased. This needs to be fixed as it makes it very difficult to get the quest done.
Not a solution, but some possible workarounds:
- When you get a task that you can’t complete, fly out of the area until the scenario disappears from your quest pane. When you return, you should be back at 0/1 Get your orders from Big Kinook.
- Stand a couple steps back from the east side of the pot, opposite Big Kinook. Spam AOE abilities, even if it means you have to respec, so you tag anything that spawns.
- You don’t have to click the chef’s hat unless you get the “stir the soup” task.
- If you get a task that has a special hotbar (ex. supervising) and lose the hotbar for any reason, you can probably talk to Big Kinook to get it back. If not, fly out of the area and come back. You’ll lose the task, but at least you’ll be able to get another task.
- Don’t get lured away from the pot. If a beast spawns, you can hit it with a ranged attack and stay where you are.
It’s frustrating and buggy, and it’s made 100x worse when people drop giant toys, but hopefully this will help.
Unfortunately these are only helpful if you get the tasks. The issue is mainly that people are getting only couple of tasks, or no tasks at all. 
the fact that there isn’t a fail safe for this in general is just garbage design. i’ve had no issue getting 5 tasks done each week since launch for a single event. all i’ve done is attack the spawned beasts, beat fish heads, or bonk fish back into the bowl. that’s it. nothing special other than turn brain off and click on things. yet this week 5 events and zero credit for anything.
I know it’s the holidays and so no one is home but ffs this is just bad design. you need to build fail safes into your rng so people just aren’t screwed in definitely.
make it so if you kill a spawned add that tries to attack the pot you get a point. make it so if you kill the rare at the end you get a point. there are so many easy wins to make this event better just by designing in a fail safe.
sure some will get it done faster but at least i’m not wasting my time trying to game a broken event for 10 mins multiple times a week.

I’ve now been unable to finish a feast on 4 different characters this week. My characters are stuck on 2/5, 3/5, 3/5 and last one got as far as 4/5 tasks. I was there from the beginning on all characters, and completed all the tasks that were given, but they weren’t enough to get 5/5.
