MARTy stopping me gaining rewards.

So i've just logged into the game. Soon as i log in before killing anything I get a warning message about Marty, and then gain no rewards for 'defeating' the bad guys.

They're aware of the issue, said so on the UStream.

I tried with two different characters, same mission, different settings.

Tank on +3/x8, MARTy throttled the first half-dozen defeats but after that I received rewards.
Brute on +4/x8, MARTy throttled everything I did.

Hi Heyman,

As Psychoti said, we're actively investigating this issue. We'll keep you updated as we get more information.

Thanks!

Since it's an existing MARTy thread...
Account 1:
Pinnacle - IP - Warshade, blues/greens, no MARTY message on login, no throttle
Victory - Talos - Blaster - blues/greens, no MARTY message on login, no throttle
Exalted - Dom - SC - no mesasge.
Account 2:
Exalted - Brute, First Ward - got some awards (5 more salvage, 5 more recipes, 2 more transactions, Distinguished badge) - MARTY throttle message, message about auction house, MARTY "no longer throttling." Got rewards for kills.

See my Guides and Tutorials

Yup, logged into my main today and was effected as well.

Happened to me too. Logged in on a level 50 toon and was immediately throttled before I even did a single thing. I think MARTy is getting triggered by the xp bar animation (getting filled up) that happens when you first log in. Very annoying.

Same here. Message that MARTy is active the instant I logged on. Getting no rewards whatsoever.

It seems doing an activity that results in gaining xp will detoggle it. For a non 50 this is easy. On my level 50 it detoggled when I got an explore badge, but not when I killed anything. I'd suggest trying to acquire debt to see if that helps on your 50.

Edit: Scratch that. This issue will likely be fixed when they restart the servers in a few minutes.

Edit 2: Or whatever they need to do to fix it.

NO REWARDS FOR ANYONE!

MARTy IS A COMPLETE SUCCESS!

Now, off to increase prices in the market, and add new items at ridiculously inflated prices.

Wow, epic, epic fail, guys.

This week is shaping to to have been like pouring a bucket of crap on people and calling it a positive spin campaign.

I'm not saying they made positive spin. I'm saying it's about as successful as a bucket of excrement being called a positive.

Despite all the cool new content/powers etc, this past two weeks has been pretty dissatisfying for a lot of people. We've had extended downtimes, unexpected downtimes, changes going live with no prior announcement (they didn't tell anyone Level Pacts were going away on Tuesday, so people expected them to go away after the head start) and now flame bait in the form of stuff like MARTy (already a source of hot debate around here) triggering on login.

Mastermind bug? check hey thanks for introducing MARTy but then somehow the +lvl shift MMs got is now broken in issue 21

Now MARTy is going herp a derp all over the game b/c u cant even control ur own creation AE which is the whole reason this crap was created.

now lets add more downtime cuz everything u introduce apparently breaks the game even more.

Seriously I applaud ur ingenuity to continue to produce new and exiting content, but your track record of pushing out new content then promising updates for it, when in reality ur ADD has kicked in and now you all just want to focus on the next big thing, it just . . . Where is the focus? Where is the promise to hold up commitments? At least keep players in the loop on which projects are "trashed" ie cimerora, alignment system. etc

Skynet--- err MARTy has gone sentient! NO XPEEZ FOR J00000

This is too funny.

Welp. This didn't take long.

Normally I support the devs, but in this case, I simply can't. Way to drop the ball Devs.

Now, MARTy, imho, is a good idea, however, as is currently seen, it is currently NOT working as intended. MARTy needs to be taken off-line and re-tooled. This is a serious issue fellows.

When people log in and are not allowed to get rewards, or are (like me) choked after doing REGULAR GAME CONTENT, then MARTy is simply NOT functioning as intended.

Take it off and FIX IT!!!!

Also, We are a very understanding community, please, be honest and frank with us, and we will support you. Evade and cover things up at your own peril.

What makes you think that this is not already the case?

*whisper* Doctor Aeon introduced AE as a method of propogating MARTy so that the huddling masses would not become a threat to his plans. MARTy has finally gone active after nobody would expect AE of being used in such a plot.

Actually, Positron expressed his hesitation at having all of Paragon's heroes' detailed information available to AE, since it was designed by Aeon and funded by Crey. (hmmm)
But then he changed his tune, saying that he thought the benefits would outweigh the risks...

Did Aeon replace Posi with a clone? ...

Way to say F-U to your loyal community DEVs... Who cares if people wanna farm, cant we play our own way? No? We cant? Then we may as well move on to a new game that lets us play OUR WAY!

On a related note, MARTy nerfed a buddy of mine for getting 2 purples in a row in a normal mission... If this new system is gonna nerf us for stuff the random number generator does on a regular basis then it needs to be pulled... like now!

I am usually a supporter of the devs too, but this MARTy **** is too much, I HATE people telling others how to play, not even DEVs and GMs should do that! As long as they aren't hurting anything or anyone let them farm!
