Journal - The top line should tell you whether you are in the Knowledge Journal or the Current Tasks.
The top line of all pages should read
Journal: Current Tasks
or
Journal: Knowledge (, or perhaps Journal: Knowledge Journal)

If the design is supposed to page right on from Current Tasks to Knowledge Journal, the top line of the pages should change to reflect which part of the book you are in at that time.
If the design does not page directly from Current Tasks to Knowledge Journal, only the Current Tasks should show up in the Current Tasks section.
Currently the two current tasks show up, but another page is available.
When I page over, the previously finished tasks are listed in the next couple of pages. This is what is making me mention that I think the Current Tasks are allowed to page over into the Knowledge Journal.
But, When I open the Knowledge Journal it shows a different view of the already finished tasks as well as the current tasks.
And, when I open the Knowledge Journal it starts at the end. This is not necessary or good, just confusing.
The Knowledge Journal is going to be very long after you gain a lot of levels. Maybe there should be a scroll bar so you can go to the beginning, middle or end easier.

The questing is a critical, make or break feature for a newly released game.
This confusion must be fixed before release.

 

Confirming, as told in this Bug report of R51.

 

This is feedback, not a bug.

 

I think @Kelly O'Shay posted it in the wrong section

 

Yeah the quest log/journal is pretty confusing. And the most critical issue about it is the bugs in the questing system.
While resetting the journal seems to (sometimes) fix it, it makes it also more confusing as to continue an older quest.

 

Lum is exactly right.
This is FEEDBACK .
Oh, and I agree with the OP, btw

 

And some feedback is critical to having a smooth release. Should it get lost in feedback threads. I say no.

 

May not be a bug but the whole journal and quest tracking is still a mess and so close to launch....

 

Well, may be not all of the information is about a bugged Journal, but the Journal still have bugs,
as I just told here ...

 

?Bugs everywhere!!!!!
