Be well, people of CoH.

Also, when you say that your character is having its influence "affected," what do you mean? Is your total amount changing?
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

It is a sync issue when the server shards you are zoning between have different server times. (was it Ghost Falcon that announced it when they figured it out?)|

Is there a way to stop this from happening? It just causes me to lose some battles that I may have won otherwise, causing debt I shouldn't have and affecting my influence which affects a lot actually. Any solutions? |
Anyway, when it happens it's worth doing a /servertime for the shards (zones) affected and if it is different on both sides, then include it in a /petition.

as foir his powers turning off... he could be using a t9 that causes his end to get drained when it crashes and that is when he is distracted and not paying attention to the game.
Funny, I never had a problem with inf amounts changing when I had debt.
Well, aside from the extra inf I'd get after I hit 50... but at that level it burns off really fast, and the inf 'hit' is negligible in the long term anyhow.
My recommendation? Hook up with a scrapper and have them zone in first. Just be aware that they might clear half the map before remembering to tell you that it's safe to zone in....

Happens to me on my tank in Pocket D... I have 6 toggles and one drops on entering BNY outside zone. I lose one, seemingly random, zoning inside cave, then again back out...
Just one. My tank is elec/elec and I use my power sink for taunts. My end NEVER gets below half way unless I've been playing for hours and I get tired...
Just as frustrating, is zoning into a map, and having the second tray (usually where all my toggles are) become the number one tray. Instead of attacking or buffing, I'm actually turning off my defenses in rapid order just in time to face plant... That one doesn't happen often to me, but when it does, it's spectacular, usually my fire/kin solo opens the map up with a nice dirt nap. I've petitioned that one a dozen times it feels like...

check to make sure you don't have a key bound to switching your power trays in your keybindings.
if that problem repeats, /bug it.
