The previous update had a storyline in Veilgarden to start everything off, but I’m not seeing anything in Ladybones Road at the moment. Am I looking in the wrong place?
It’s just that I was preparing an expedition in the Forgotten Quarter and now that seems to be gone. I need to find how to get that back please?
No expeditions in the Forgotten Quarter and no access to the Clay Quarters in Ladybones. Not happy if having finished the University means that other watchful content disappears.
Edit - I have done all the available cases but the Honey-addled Detective has gone as well and there was an "impossible" option before.

No new icon yet, University storylets still have the raw Watchful icon, expeditions missing, is the update still in progress? I don’t see any new stuff, only old stuff not being there anymore.
Edit: Nevermind, the new storylet just came. Seems like there is no choice this time to go back stages.

When persuasion changed there was a storylet that came up when I logged in. I was away from London this time and didn’t get one. Was there one for people who were in London when the change happened? If not, and there was supposed to be, that might be why we have lost access to expeditions and the Clay Quarters.
[color=#ff9900]Bear with us folks - these changes have to be made in a certain order. The patch card will appear shortly. Thanks for your patience.[/color]
Um, I appear to be trapped in the storylet that gives me the +4 watchful book. When I press “onward” I’m sent back to Making Your Name: Watchful page.
I can’t get out of the "Making Your Name: Watchful" storylet; hitting ‘Onwards!’ on the Unsigned Letter just loops me back to it. …I should probably stop trying, considering I’m now sitting on 34 Bejewelled Lenses.
ETA: whoops, beaten!

Warning : Currently I can click ‘Try Again’ and gather free stuffs, just fyi.
Oh wait… onwards also loop the thing.

When I "Examine the gift", I am returned to the card to examine again. So, I am getting the reward more than once.
Ditto
Not only that, but also terrifying amounts of Connected: Masters. My character doesn’t actually want to be best friends with the Masters…

Ditto the being trapped in the storylet: I’m pretty sure gaining Connected: Masters isn’t supposed to be this easy. At a cost of 0 actions, no less.
Ah, nevermind! It finally gave me a Watchful rank and let me escape. It also took away all but one of the unique-item journals. It left me with the spare lenses and Connected: Masters, though.

Ah it’s fixed now. Damn, missed my chance to get free lenses. :P
I did it seven times, got a new quality, the ‘try again’ option disappeared
Me too! Oh well :P Now, if only this had come about when I was grinding for a Zubmarine not too long ago…
I had to repeat the action 34 times before I could leave the storylet. Perhaps this is linked to how high your Watchful quality is. (Mine is currently at 200 + 11.)
I think that was a bug, but everything seems to be fine now.
My alt who hasn’t finished with the University only got one choice on the must storylet. Quite pleased as I didn’t want to lose the progress I have made at the University. They still haven’t got to the end of their first term as a guest lecturer :)
It’s not. It worked for me after five times, and I have 205 base watchful. There was a big pause between my fourth and fifth attempt because I was busy writing my bug report, so it was probably just fixed between then.
Edit: By "it’s not", I didn’t mean it’s not fine, I meant it’s not linked to how much watchful we have.
