A weird thing happened on the way to the bank...

I am speed leveling a new character I am trying. I am grabbing all the banks as I go. So I am running my 5 radio missions on Talos last night. I enter the third one. (I am solo, trying to be quick) and right after me comes a couple mobs. I was thinking I had caught an ambush and was getting ready to hit powers/insp/defcon4 when I noticed it was another player. And after them comes another! And they are 50+1s (I was 26)

Me "What are you doing here?"

Them "What?"

Me " I don't mean to be rude, but this is my 26th radio mission. What are you doing here?"

Them. Long pause (obviously in teamspeak) "Abandon"

I went on and ran it fine after they left. Big layer cake cave room for the boss, least they could have done was go in and judgement the crap outta it for me. Sheesh, peeps these days.

They crashed out doing the TPN incarnate trial. After that, you get a weird bug that makes you appear in random people's missions if you try and rejoin the crashed trial. That's why "abandon" - they had to leave mission, go back to the trial LFG and abandon it to clear the bug.

Absolutely correct. Have had the same experience myself. Got me really confused at the start, but at least they helped my finishing of the mission though :

One time we were starting a trial and the entire league ended up in someone's tip mission instead of the trial. We ended up just tearing though his +0/x1 mission. I can't imagine what was going through his head while it was happening.


Main Hero: Mazey - level 50 + 1 fire/fire/fire blaster.
Main Villain: Chained Bot - level 50 + 1 Robot/FF Mastermind.

Ah, so that was you! I was in that bugged TPN and saw you in your radio mission there. My apologies for the involuntary intrusion.

No worries. Was sorta fun, and gave an interesting post for the city life section here.

Can't wait for the video...


There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"

A few years back while on a blue side team, we logged into an instance and quickly defeated the first foe we came across as we rounded the corner. As we continued on with the rest of the map... and it dawned on me that we'd just mowed over another player that had accidentally spawned into our instance. (In our defense, he was playing a villain.) I sent him an apology and we chatted for a couple. I felt bad about it, but fortunately he laughed about the whole thing. Bug reports were sent by both parties.

Back when the BAF was new, I was part of an ITF. First mission went as normal. Second mission, we discovered about 16 extra people in the mission. We all had a good laugh out of it, and went through the mission with a BAF-sized team. At the end, we said fond farewells, and continued on to mission 3.

Lo and behold, who should arrive alongside us but the very same BAF league! Lag Hill didn't stand a chance against 24 Incarnates

I was playing earlier today and something strange happened in the radio mission. Villains, lots of them, bunches. I have no idea how many exactly but I knew how many it took to take me down. 1/2 of an attack. Weird thing was I got exp from these 50+4 people, incarnates with incarnate pets out in a level 31 mission just stomping everything. I had it on the max diff with +4/x8 on a radio mission for fun just to see if I could do something. After defeating me one said they could use vengeance power, and one even team teleported? me and I somehow was brought to them. They smashed through my entire mission until the very end, then left. I got so many bubbles, one mission later at a lower diff tho I got to 32.

So whatever team did that I thank you for the semi-level up?

Feel free to drop by, KO' me, and port me around anytime.

Hah.

I'm tempted to join TPN trials now just to get this bug.

I love reading about these bugs, and they seem to come along any time a new trial's added. I really wanna see it happen!

It's the game's special way of telling the devs "DO NOT WANT" in regards to more Incarnate Trials. (-:

This is the best thing I have ever read. Five internets to you sir!

And D_R, I'd pay money for that book. Please actually do that, because I'd love you forever. <3

Yeah, that happened sometimes right after CoV was put in. It was even more hilarious really, since here are these poor villains trying to level up and then suddenly level 40+ heroes roll in. It's like some poor thug tries to rob a 7-11 and Superman is just randomly there buying a soda. Evil will never triumph, because good is lucky.

I remember something similar happening in the CoV beta. Missions would occasionally bug out, and somehow after exiting your mission your full team of evil and doom would pop into Atlas Park. And then you'd go train with Ms. Liberty, because well, you totally could. Just had to be careful of those dang drones...

Yep ... I found myself in someone else's mission a few nights ago after a TPN crash. I turned around and went out the bank door and was back in the RWZ but it was interesting (???) and I can only imagine what the mission owner thought since I appeared right in front of him.

Wasn't there one Brute who famously got stuck blue side shortly after CoV went live? It apparently took some serious effort in order to finally get it resolved and return him to the Isles. There were screenshots of him hanging out in hero zones, chilling with everyone during a Hami Raid, etc.

Yeah. Thats why he had to die. He jinxed himself hard with that bold remark.

Darrin Wade hits you! Evil Masterplan was forced to hit by the streakbreaker.
Darrin Wade hits you for 2,000,000 points of damage.
Darrin Wade hits you! My Moment of Triumph is autohit.
Darrin Wade hits you for 1 point of damage.
You cannot use that power when you have been defeated.
