Wasting Disease Won't Go Away


Deathbug

 

Posted

Running a lvl 50 tanker to get some flashback badges. Unfortunately I choose the lvl 15-19 arc that gives you the Vahzilok wasting disease.

At the point I'm given the disease, I decide I don't want to run the arc while debuffed AND with the wasting disease. So I quit the Task Force.

I went back to Ouroboros, started another flashback arc in the same level range, and suddenly noticed that I still have the little flies buzzing around me. So I quit that task force too, and even outside of a flashback arc, back to full lvl 50 glory, I still have the wasting disease.

I filed a bug report and got a stock answer about confirming bugs and their priorities. Has anybody else seen this happen?

EDIT: I just logged on, 12 hours later, and confirmed that I'm not on a flashback Task Force, don't have any missions at all in fact, and I still have the disease.

Not quite. According to ParagonWiki it's intended to last until the mission is completed. So it may be coded to require the mission complete flag before it'll go away (Not necessarily the best design but also not a bug). Try finishing the mission and see. If you still have it after that definitely file another report.

It will go away when you complete it, but I'm fairly certain they also added in a timer a good while back.

The timer only count-downs while you are "in-game"

So basically your options are as follows:

  • go through the arc again and talk to the contact to remove the disease.
  • start another Ouro Arc or park in your SG base and wait it out.
