Team window as if team member isn't present

looks like my team member is in another zone here: "on mission map" when I'm looking right at her!

As will finishing a mission objective, if there are multiples. Noticed that last night (rescuing debutantes from the council, for instance.)

Recall didn't clear this up the other night, and I can enter a mission alongside people but when we zone in they're gray on the team UI.

This is very bothersome, as I can't tell if I need to pop Rebirth or try to draw aggro away from a dying teammate.

I'm confident it'll be fixed before Freedom (sooner would be nice, though!) since I doubt they want new players to hear, "Yeah, the team window's been broken for months."

If memory serves, this is a type of sync issue that has cropped-up in the past. I don't recall when I last saw it - sometime around i11 or i12, although even then it was uncommon. Since i20.5, it's been (for me) rather frequent. Eventually the player in question will show-up on the team list.

I haven't played my Fire/Therm Corrupter since this bug has hit - I wonder how much this may affect Healing and non-group buffs?

For an in-game band-aid, I've found just about anything that changes the 'status' of the missing player will fix the bug - Promoting them to team leader seems to work every time.

However, this is not just an 'annoyance', since I can't tell if my teammate needs one of the extra green/blue Inspirations I've picked up, or if he needs a heal. Worse, I can't use the team interface to target him and cast buffs/heals, but have to mouse-click Him to target him - in combat, that's dangerous and difficult.

This needs to be fixed.

Be Well!

If it's happenin' within a league set-up, have someone lock and unlock the team. It'll fix it, even if they aren't on your team.

It's a huge pain for healing. Was playing my emp/dark defender last night and had to keep moving the cursor over each teammate to get an idea of what his/her hp and end were, because the team window wouldn't sync up until the end of the mission. Wasn't much of a problem for buffs, as I don't follow the mini-icons for them.

I have been seeing this as well. I was just thinking didn't there used to be a / command that would fix this sort of thing. I am thinking it was /sync?
