Odd bug during Lambda

There were 2 teams in a league. We had cleared the other area, taken out the turrets and had cleared the courtyard.

I was explaining the strategy for how the inside area works when all of a sudden, I was ported to Atlas. It said I had quit the team. I obviously hadn't since I was typing instructions. The mouse was nowhere near the quit button.

The rest of the league had sent me tells asking me if I got booted, they all had as well. The entire league allegedly "quit" the team one by one.




We'll see....

Had the same thing happen at the start of a Lambda.

It just happened again.

Same here.


Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"

*Arc #177826-Lights, Camera, Scream! - 3 step arc, camp horror; try out in 1st person POV - 35 Ratings/4 Stars

Does anyone around here know if this is in fact a bug, or is it WAI? (Which I highly doubt)




We'll see....

It is indeed a bug. Are you using the Team Up Teleporter when this happens or is it with a premade team?

Premade team. Just happened a third time.

It's also completely random. Could happen at any time during the Trial.




We'll see....

I had exactly the same bug during beta. I was kicked from LS Trial (while I was in hospital) and it said I quitted the trial, which I didn't.

it happened to us too, team of 16 using Premade

Sorry Zwill, I'll elaborate a bit more.

On 3 different attempts to run Lambda, at 3 different points during the trial, the mysteriously gets booted back to Atlas. Each claiming the UI showed them as quitting the team. Obviously they hadn't. Some claimed to have watched as the team quit one by one before they themselves were booted to Atlas.

Here is what I saw in one of the ones this happened in, copied directly from the Global tab (I removed names so as not to tick anyone off):

MemberA has joined the team
You have quit your team
MemberB has quit the team
MemberA has quit the team
MemberC is the new team leader
MemberD has quit the team
MemberE has quit the team
MemberF has quit the team

I then attempted to rejoin, as it gives that option in the LFG UI and this was the message:

Error: Instance could not be found. It may have been completed or abandoned.




We'll see....

It crashes me out entirely, then I get dumped back into Steel Can. It did it twice before I gave up, glad to see it's mostly centered around Lambda. I had absolutely no trouble (except for getting smacked around) in BAF.

Same problem but with team up TP.

Any further info Zwill?




We'll see....

Someone just mentioned this happens when someone joins while already in progress. I didn't realize it, but all 3 of the ones that have booted me have all had people joining while in progress.




We'll see....

Thanks for the feedback all, I'm funneling this to the Devs.

Hi Zwillinger,

I was just on a Lambda with a premade team of 14 + 1 person who joined as we loaded via the LFG queue. We all started in RWZ2.

We took down the Security Team and were IMMEDIATELY mapserver'ed just as it died. The entire server (Protector) is currently greyed out and we can't log into it.

That's right, our league crashed an entire server. Obviously it couldn't handle our badassery.

@Flameshot:

Do you know if the entire League was booted (as opposed to just the people in one team)?


The Protector crash was, I believe, unrelated to the Incarnate Trials.

I have been on a few trials that boot everyone out. In all but one case, someone being afk at the start of the trial caused us to get booted as soon as it started. In another case, everyone got booted. I can't be sure if someone wasn't afk and auto-following.

As per the tells I received, the entire league was booted.

Here's a question: Is this happening only on max member teams, or on teams with less than the maximum members?


 

Posted

None of the teams I was on were full. They were all different numbers.




We'll see....

Yep, experienced this myself. Entire league was booted, giving you text that states you quit, when of course we didn't.

ALSO, 2nd weirdness - normally healing flames heals me for 740, and randomly, in about half the trials, I could only heal for around 660. As soon as I leave a trial it goes back up to 740 immediately, and sometimes it is 740 in the trial, but often times, maybe in over half now that I think about it, I could only heal 660.

Not sure what is going on with that at all - I can't imagine it's from the no temp powers thing because I am not using any - that's my normal heal.

The Protector crash was, I believe, unrelated to the Incarnate Trials.

Unfortunately, the Protector crash happened immediately as we got the Mission Complete on the BAF. All reward tables were lost, and there was a rollback with lost rewards/exp/merits/shards, etc once we could log back in.

It felt too coincidental to not be Trial related.

And it should be noted, we got two totally different crashes.

One crash was where we completed the BAF, and then the server crashed (related or not, we all lost stuff).

Another crash entirely happened in the middle of the Trial, where we were plodding along normally, and then got kicked back to the zone we started out from. And it wasn't due to failure.

Unless you have exactly 15 or 23 friends.
Because PUGs are an option for the trials, they should be mandatory.
