You should actually get the XP, might want to compare numbers before and after the missions. Mission logs and Front pages are wrong currently.

Any luck, the front page itself is okay, and is reporting exactly what it gets told. It's jsut getting told soemthing incorrect

When I was active I remember we had some kind of main page where Updates and latest mission logs where display. Is that still avaible? Link?

Right now, the lowest mission numbers bragged about in the previous complete log run (mission #00001 to #99999), before the most recent mission log wipe, are this mission (#3768) and this one (#3774). (...)

And... BINGO! Judging by the brags above, the current mission results which we are getting correspond with the mission logs from the previously 'wiped' log run! We really ARE seeing the ghost of HMW past! Hope this will give some insight in how to fix this.

doesn't show my characters as part of the mission/arena. the log shows up, but there are totally different characters.

Who won, seems correct, but the log itself is wrong. You should still receive XP, we're trying to resolve the matter currently. Thanks.

Okay, this just got weirder than ghost logs:
I swear I just put Candy Claus in at the same time as my other team members currently in missions, but she somehow buzzed through hers in about 5 minutes, finishing before the others even started. She came out damaged, but I couldn't remember what her XP was going in, so I don't know if she got any.

Hope this gives someone insight into exactly what the glitch is.

So, I'd like to ask two stupid questions now, for no general purpose than I'm curious about how it's supposed to work and I like the hypotheses behind troubleshooting, even if I know nothing about how to actually fix it...

1) Why is the game not writing new missions? Or if it is, where are they?
2)How does it know there were ever past missions to reference? If it's generating thngs on the spot, and it's not writing new stuff, then shouldn't we be getting Unknowns, instead of the code going "Hmm, I have a result right here? Not that I'm complaing about getting blind experience, but still.

Say, unless it's just a coincidence, one (and ONLY one) of my missions is showing the actual mission!

It is actually a coincidence. I am still running some missions where it returns some of my characters that I deploy, however I have run across some of your characters playing in missions that couldn't have possibly been in the mission due to levels or your current level doesn't match the level that was displayed in the fight.

For example Ripclaw fought Shad-0 however Ripclaw was not in the fight and Shad-0 could not fight in a 4-6 fight. Some of my characters show up but in previous forms or previous levels.

Actually, I double-checked all the other combatants, and it said they were in the same mission, with the same levels on their sheets, which were the correct levels for the mission! If that's a coincidence, then it's four-fold.

Of course, guys I put in immediately before and after are back to the same ancient logs, so it's likely as meaningless as a coincidence, but it still might just barely provide some sort of clue.

Yes I have a small issue to report. It says that the Decepticons won this mission, but then it shows that there are only Autobots in the mission and that they encountered no resistance with my Decepticon Grindkor not in there for some reason when I had assigned him for this mission. Yet he still apparently won the mission against three Autobots who are all of a higher level (maybe Grindkor's just a badass XD). Anyhow, here's the link to the mission.

EDIT: After checking my other missions, it's still doing it. Now I know my guys are all bad-asses, but this is a little weird.

Thank you. We are aware, the "Won the battle" is correct but there is a bug with the log itself. You do still receive XP.

This error was caused by me executing an old script a couple of weeks ago while I was making some other changes. The script reset several of the database tables, but not all of the ones currently in use and needed for accurate mission history. In time, this would have corrected itself but it's probably best that I wiped all of these database tables again.

Please let me know if the update that I made this morning corrected the problem. Thanks.

Thanks Seibs

just waiting for the current missions I'm in to finish hopefully all is well

News Credits: 7 · Mon Jul 18, 2011 5:05 am

Yup, thanks Ryan! With two of my mission logs showing up properly, it looks to be solved!

Mon Jul 18, 2011 5:07 am

Looks good to me all my last missions are showing good for the right peeps in the right mission.

The thing must still be broken, it says I'm losing battles

But seriously, Thanks for fixing it!

Mon Jul 18, 2011 1:29 pm

It looks like all of the missions are working fine, the Arena's may be bugged so the best advice is to put your soldiers into Missions and just forget about the Arenas.
