I wonder if it's giving you guys the xp/energon, or if it's just log hiccups.

You need to read the faceypage discussion
I already checked, despite what the logs sy the ghosts do not gain anything from the missions they're in.
The opinions expressed in this post are well-reasoned and insightful.
Needless to say, they are not those of SEIBERTRON.COM, its staff members, or any other site lackeys.
Anyone who says otherwise is itching for a fight.

Watched this mission
https://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwa ... ion_id=188
Hellfire received full rewards for interacting with ghosts but the ghosts received nothing.
Also of note: The ghosts only interact with the active character, not each other.

Looks like backdoor NPC's to me.

It is currently broken. Looks like past completed missions (Ghost missions) adding new participants to old finished rosters. Personally losing (not necessarily the team) the mission with 0 health, 0 experience, and 0 energon meaning you lose "money" while regenerating...

Not sure how that's possible.
Can you document it somehow and show us?

I haven't deployed since I made that last post but my Ghosts have been in plenty of missions.
I made note of my Energon & XP totals then and they were exactly the same as they are now.

If you are losing Energon it likely has more to do with having more opposition (albeit ghostly) than your character's Ghost being in missions.

You are right. I spent the last week seeing my character participate in a lot of "ghost" missions and actually paid attention to my experience and energon levels. They didn't change. Also seeing how frequently they pop up, I really don't want to participate anymore till the game is fixed.

Sorry I've fallen out of touch, and this is probably a big nothing, but in Flash Turbine's latest "I Am Inevitable" match, he stasis-locked both Level-0 Autobots, but one of them (Aerobot?) was also "destroyed".

Is "...and has been destroyed" just new-ish flavoring text for lopsided matchups and I never noticed, or is that some old programming resurfacing like when Maximal and Predacon factions would somehow show up to be granted victory? Mostly just curious.

It's a leftover line of text from the mini-cons. When they were removed, that line of text was inadvertently left in. That's what everyone told me. It happened to all my new characters the first time they were stasis locked.

Tested & confirmed - looks like a database error?

This was trying to upgrade armour from 9 tons Iron to 10 tons Iron. As far as I can see the form is still sending the correct values (checked HTML and captured POST) so it doesn't look like the code has changed, but rather the DB can't match the ID (implying a DB change, which I think is more likely).

(Actually there's a second, funnier possibility - I note that the armour ID variable was called $ai in the old code I have, so it's possible the variable name somehow factors into it...)

Armor is broken right now, been broken for a couple of weeks now. Glyph brought it up to the global server thread. Naturally, the first quick fix did not work and will require more archeology to determine what the problem actually is.

So, business as usual >:oP
