Incorrect zone listed in character selection screen

When switching characters, the zones are listed incorrectly after running a villain. For example, a hero who is actually in Atlas Park is reported as being on the Mercy Island map. This does not change the character's actual location, only the name that is reported on the selection screen. (I have not checked to see if a similar error occurs for villains in the list when switching after having played a hero. I have not checked to see if it matters whether you also change servers.)

I noticed this too. I think it's more of a display bug than anything else.

When I log into the character with the incorrect location I login to where I should be (Atlas instead of Mercy for example) and there aren't any problems.

If my Hero toon that was logged out in Atlas wound up logging in Mercy then I'd be worried lol

I thought that this bug cropped up if they were Rogue or Vigilante....

I haven't logged any of my rogues or vigilantes lately, so it isn't that. It's full heroes that I noticed it on, and full villains that I was switching from. Probably related to the switch in backgrounds from CoH to CoV color schemes based on the last character played.

As SolarSentai said, it's just a display bug, but one that only seems to have appeared recently and which is just begging to cause confusion in new players.

So far it hasn't happened with any of my vigs or rogues, but I did notice it last night with one of my Hero-side stalkers. She was left in Atlas, and showed up on the character selection list as being in Mercy. (And for what it's worth, this charcter has never even been to Mercy. She was created very recently, and has been a hero from the tutorial on. )

I'm curious if this is a "one-sided" issue with originally red-side ATs that are hero-side, or if I can eventually expect my villainous tank to claim he's in Atlas...
