old bug back, again?

is anyone else having the toggle powers shut off when leaving a mission or zoning? ever since the new release, I have had this happen several times. not consistently, may be fine for 5 or 6 zone transfers but then everything will get shut off.

we have had this issue several times before, and cannot understand how it would get reintroduced yet again but appears it has.

I've had it happen once while coming out of a mission on an ITF. I've been putting in a lot of hours and still only the one time.

My mastermind got stuck with it today. Four straight zonings it happened...plus pets disappeared.

Happens to me occaionally. Sometimes I even notice before I start fighting.


Enjoy your day please.

I filed a /bug report on this today, and, so far, this only seems to happen to me when exiting missions.

Yup, I was killed by the ambush after I entered a mission, because all my toggles were suddenly down.

It's not happening all the time, but it's still happening.

Don't forget to also bug ambushes/patrols that hit you right by the door. They're not supposed to go there. Not until you leave it, anyway.

thanks for the replies everyone, I will start sending in bug reports as it appears it isn't just me or something weird going on with my set up. I will also start tracking closer when it happens and include that in the bug reports.

very annoying as one of my main characters runs 8 toggles and it's a real pain to have to keep turning all those back on

I was noticing it a bit yesterday when zoning I'd drop toggles as well. No set pattern or what not.
Yes, I think I'll have to be a little more aware as well.

Thank you for the time...

Yes, I had it a couple of times last night in Praetoria. I exited while hovering, and emerged standing on firm ground. Fortunately, this alt is not a toggle user. Some of my others, though........

This actually contains the core of the reason why the toggle dropping happens: Time.

What's happened in the past (and is probably happening here) is that as you move from zone to mission, you're moving to a new server. And the server clocks are set differently. If you go into a mission and the server clock says that it's 7 pm in the zone, but inside the mission the server clock says that it's 9 pm, the game decides that you must have been logged off for two hours and resets your powers. (Note that this means that your long-recharge clicks are probably all recharged as well, when you find the toggles dropped.)

You can check this by typing /servertime before and after zoning. That will help support isolate what server(s) need to have their clocks reset to fix the problem.

It seems the more toggles one has running the more often the detoggle bug occurs. My Blaster runs with nine. I have a roughly 1 in 3 chance of detoggling when zoning.

Ah that explains a lot. Last night my SOA dropped toggles several times on exiting a mission. One of those times I noticed my Justice click power had reset too early also.
