Winter Realm Bug

Apparently, if you have a mixed team of any kind when attempting to enter the Winter Realm, you get immediately booted and never get to fight the Winter Lord in his icy realm of segregation.

Be advised.

Does "incorrigible" mean the same thing on Defiant that it does on Champion or Virtue? Just curious.

I suspect that, as others have speculated, we'll see some sort of apology with an in-game manifestation. Extended event, etc. I see no reason to assume the worst and even less to imply that they did this on purpose.

Don't you get it? The devs don't just hate villains, or Masterminds. They hate all the players. All of them.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

Maybe the Devs will give us anther round of Free Server Transfers if this goes on too long.

This is the first winter event with Rogues and Vigilantes plus invisibly flagg Praetorians.

This happened to me on a team of 6 heroes that clicked on the present in Steel Canyon. The team all came out of several different mission doors in Atlas instead of entering the realm.

I think getting sent to Atlas/Mercy is the expected behavior at the conclusion of the event, so it's possible that the Lord of Winter isn't spawning properly, so before players even set foot in the event zone the event thinks it's over.

/this. Two tries, one was a smaller and (IIRC) all-hero team. Booted right out into Atlas, scattered around the zone.

I wasn't implying it was on purpose in any way. But it clearly wasn't tested terribly well

They're bringing the servers down right about now for emergency Saturday maintenance. I'm hoping that it's to fix this bug.

While i wouldn't object to free server transfers it's a complete non sequitur in the context of a buggy seasonal event. Are you going to suggest it every single time something is bugged in game?

It would be even more fun in real life...

"Why?"
"Well, I want a new DVD player. Totally logical, see?"

While I'm not PUH-psychic. Think they might be fixing the event now...

Servers are down and had to download a patch! Guess we'll see.

Is it working for teams with mixed alignments and such too?
