Not sure if this is a worthwhile bug to report, but the game called a Decepticon retreat at the exact same second that the only Decepticon in the mission went into stasis lock...

Re: Bug Reporting Thread
After last nights small glitch it appears that missions are being generated but (at least speaking for me) I can not join them.

Just ran 5 of mine through arena battles, and no one on either side scored any points, don't bother with that either until the bug is fixed. FYI

Yeah, if people haven't noticed on their character pages that there are pointer and argument issues with the MySQL database. I wouldn't even bother playing around with the troops and assigning points or armor/weapons till Ryan or the staff gives us a go ahead.
It is all good, I'm enjoying catching up on some of the forums and think of this as a mini vacation from the grind. I can wait for the site owner to do what he needs to do.

Re: Bug Reporting Thread
Not sure if this is the game or my browser, but the registry and missions screens aren't updating like they should. They're perpetually 2 or 3 updates behind, saying characters I are still active that I just deactivated or put in a mission, stuff like that. Can't say as I recall seeing this happen before.

Not sure if this is "a bug" or an RNG thing...

We both have double the life of the BOT, but somehow us CONs are low on energy and retreat?!
I'd say that was one helluva bluff pulled on us.

Not a bug. Time limit on missions.

the end result's tallied off of how much damage you did in the match, not your health percentage in the end. autobots. always tactful.

@mr. burn,
i play on my iphone n yea it's blocky & glitchy on here too. i'm not too concerned though i know it'll work itself out.

Pretty sure people are aware, but the game is... well I just keep picturing it being tossed out of Astrotrain with Megatron (IE its working, but sporadically)

Re: Bug Reporting Thread
Same here. Just put both my 5s in missions, and 4 hours instantly elapsed. Says they got the points though. Not sure I want to risk putting them in CR, since it didn't do it automatically.
EDIT: Didn't the whole site go down all yesterday afternoon, too? Could this be related after-effects?

There was a bug with the time settings when Ryan got the site back online.

Re: Bug Reporting Thread
I've noticed a bug when trying to put my bots into missions, i go to update it to get more missions but it can take me refreshing page 3 or 4 times for any mission to appear so i can put my bots in to it.

There's a slight delay, maybe around 10 seconds before a page refreshes on the server. I've spoken to Ryan about it, he made a change site wide and that's how it came about. Haven't heard anything back yet whether it will be fixed or not.

Re: Bug Reporting Thread
Not likely a serious bug, but the second Flash-Turbine takes down the only Autobot in the mission...the Autobots win the mission.

Magnus got a kill, but didn't outscore the 'cons. Just bringing it up in case this sort of thing is a harbinger of greater problems.
