Problems with AE

I searched for a thread on this subject, but I couldn't find one. If there is one already please direct me to it. If not, please use this thread to post about glitches in the AE system that will help the devs to improve it and make it more stable. Include your arc ID#. Here are a few of the problems that I have encountered with my arc #371823 Mind Fork:

1. I invited another person to my team but he can't get into the mission.

2. My team wiped and none of us could get back into the mission.

3. Halfway through the arc the contact no longer recognizes the team leader. Even though he still has the star another person is now essentially the team leader.

I can attempt to answer #1, and that is it depends which portal he/she tried. If you interact with the AE system in Atlas Park, then the portal he/she must interact with is then the Atlas Park AE system. Any other portal such as Rikti War Zone, Peregrine Island, etc would not work and would appear with that particular message.

The other two I'm not particularly sure about, I don't have the greatest understanding of the AE system, hopefully someone else can assist you there.

Thanks, but this is a glitch in the system. That's why I put it here. The person was trying to enter the mission from the correct zone.

I don't know if they fixed it or not, but I remember what was causing this problem a while back.

  • The AE system acts like a Task Force in that it remembers who is on your team and will automatically place them back on your team if they log out then back in.
  • The AE system does not act like a Task Force in that it lets you invite members once you have already started your Architect missions.
This creates a potential problem when you have people log off during your Architect missions, but not quit the team. The game thinks "This team still has eight people on it, however one is logged off."

When you invite another person to your team, that creates a problem for the game and it seems to handle it as such. "They just invited another person so now the team has...nine members? Oh well. I'll let the first eight people have access to the mission and the ninth person can twiddle their virtual thumbs for all I care." Or sometimes it acts like "Nine members? Really, Nine members? Just wait I'll figure out how I am going to handle this when I am done calculating the exact value of Pie..Until then no one is to enter the mission or even think about talking to the contact...3.1415925...
