The background looks broken here too.

I want 60M in compensation, which was the price Spindle sold the eye for.

😂 Haha you wish.

Were you in the actual expedition zakum or were you in the fake zakum (did tai warp you in or did the npc let you in)

I talked to the npc. Tai mentioned about this fake room, but I don't think I was warped in.

We followed the NPC and did everything as actual Player Characters, there was no warps/skips or anything.

We both had the Zakum pre-quests completed and eyes in our inventory.

I mentioned the other map as i thought the NPC might have sent us to the wrong area, but I can tcheck the map id;s

Not sure if it matters but after getting the first few eyes from prequests, I started the prequests again. My prequest was at the 3rd stage at the time, where I needed to gather some gold teeth.

I tried it again with the prequest complete. Still doesn't work. I want 1.2B compensation.

Found it. When you dropped the Eye of Fire, the altar was looking at the spot where the Eye left your hands rather than where it came to rest, so it never noticed the Eye lying on it. No Eye was used up: all three you dropped were picked back up (two by you, one by Tai). The altar now reads where the Eye lands, and the black edges of the altar chamber on wide screens are fixed as well. To re-test: stand at the altar and drop one Eye of Fire, and Zakum's body should appear. Your compensation request has been passed to Mark.
