Odd bug during Lambda

We had a variant of this on a Lambda we just did on Guardian. We formed up a league of 16 players (2 full teams) and the leader started the trial. We all got the pop up to enter the instance and all clicked yes, then we got the splash screen for about 40 seconds or so and suddenly we were all back in Pocket D and the league was disbanded. We reformed and tried again and that time it worked.
Based on past history I can't say I'm very surprised that new features are bugged on an issue release; we seem to see things like this more often than not. I imagine it'll get fixed in a week or two but it's irritating right now.

Just dropped out of the Lambda, seems to have happened when one of our players who had D/C'd and dropped team (but not league) returned to game.

I think this is an unrelated issue - it seems when you die, you lose your Alpha Enhancements... and possibly any other passive buff power. At least, this is the case with Spiritual Core Paragon's Healing & Recharge Rate and Mystic Fortunes.

I'll add in my report. I just left a Lambda team that had the very same thing occur. We formed teams and then joined the league. Entered the map and before we even got into the courtyard we suddenly were all back in the RWZ and off the team. We were working our way around the outside taking out 60 IDF to unlock the facility at the time.. never even got inside the courtyard.
We were doing very well at the time too so it was pretty frustrating

Bugged this when it happened on Union last night. But it was a BAF, not Lambda

Sorry, I see that many others are having the same problem. But I was trying to rule out possible causes.

That would be the difference in heal from having your Spiritual Core Alpha working and not working is my guess. Have heard sporadic reports that alpha slots have been non working in the new trials for many players as per this thread http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=257145

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. |

Could have something to do with the level shift mechanic; I've noticed that when I die on a level shifted toon... the mob con color would change.

Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"

Just had the whole league kicked out on a Lambda. We were all the way on Maruader too, though I do not think we had the team to actually take him out. Was this happening on Beta??
I and my team of 8 were assembled into the Lambda using the turnstile last night on Champion. I explained the strategy, we defeated the 60 praetorians necessary for the 1st stage- rather than rushing the boss inside, we started to clear the walled court. We all started on the first mob inside the walls, and...loading screen.
I checked the chat log, and every single member had 'quit.' As I had given the lowdown, but wasn't leader, all members asked me what happened- none had purposefully quit. And yet the game said we did. I tried to rejoin the last event, only for the game to say it was abandoned or completed.
