When I went to look at the forum, refreshed my registry page while browsing the forum, and somehow I ended up on this dude's registry page with all their roster selectable(the ones that weren't in CR anyway).

Noticed my forum account wasn't logged in, relogging seems to have fixed it so I'm back to my own registry, but that was still rather weird... :-s

I have fixed this by logging out and back in, but somehow, when tapping on my Registry link took me to this account http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... p?id=47073 with full access as if I had logged I to it.
I logged out and back in and i'm back to myself but all the red scared me. I figured I should report it.

In all honesty I'm not sure if anything can be (or will be) done about this but I had changed my login name about 2-2 1/2 weeks ago but my in game commander name hasn't followed suit.

Odd thing is when my team commander name is clicked it go's to my profile page under my current name.

Now I understand that it most likely can't be fixed due to this game being "put to bed" but if it can I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for your time.

Postby Bumblevivisector » Mon Jul 20, 2015 6:30 pm

I think this was just the result sending a character into a mission at the exact nanosecond it closed, and won't be a problematic bug, but it's just strange enough that I'd like to share it anyway. It was this mission:

http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... _id=254022

Note that Storm Front wasn't in it, but it ended up in my "Welcome" log anyway. I found Storm Front in stasis lock, and he not only hadn't been automatically CRed, but was somehow in the Inactive pile, and it let me activate him! I naturally sent him into the Chamber instead of another battle, as I didn't want to find out what would happen. My other damaged Con was recovering as usual.

Like I said, probably not a harbinger of gamedoom, but it was weird enough that I thought I'd see if it had happened before. Anyone find this familiar?

That happens now and then, the server glitches, characters get caught up. Pretty rare though.

So I was on the heavy metal war thing, when for a little while, all of my characters disappeared, and these popped up:
Image
I don't know what happened, but what I do know, is that when I got off the page, it told me I needed to log in; when I did, my characters where back to normal. I wouldn't pay attention to this much if it weren't for the fact that I was able to do whatever I wanted with these characters that don't belong to me. I am confused, but this is obviously a bug.
In case you want to know what my actual characters are, and their ranks, here it is:
Image
Sorry if anyone's characters got messed up in the process of this glitch, but I can assure you that I did nothing with these characters except take a screenshot.
If anyone has experienced something similar before, or have any ideas what caused this, please tell me.

It's happened before. The site has had a few down times and every once in a while it happens. Happened to me once. I can't remember though if it allowed me to change the bots or not.

It just kinda startled me though, and I was thinking for a second that someone had given me characters or something! :lol:

Hey, hope someone's reading ths nowadays, I've been getting back into this game a lot recently and in the past couple of days my character profiles keep bringing up an error screen. Any time I click a name and check a bot it's the same error, keeps me from upgrading and editing. It also happens when I click the names of transformers on other teams, Autobot and Decepticon alike.

Like, it looks like character id's don't exist in the database anymore, just wanna make sure somebody knows about this, wonder if anybody else has had this problem

Can you provide the link of the bios you were trying to access? (I'll dig through in the background and see if they are there)

Yeah here are the links I clicked, they all just showed me the same error screen. If it's just something weird on my computer I'm super sorry, but it looks like it may affect more than just me/my bots

If it's any consolation, I got the same problem so it's not your computer.

Where did you get the links from? Battles or somewhere else? If battles, share those links to so I can work out who the user is.
-edit-
Nevermind, I just tried looking at yours and got the same error and you're clearly alive and active.
-Another edit-
Got it on my own characters. Forwarding this on to Ryan.

I think this is the right battle

http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=319941

It was affecting every bot I would click on, and looking at it I think the High Scores page is down.


Edit - I missed your edits, sorry, still hope this helps, thanks for looking into this so immediately

Motto: "He who hesitates, is lost."
Are the unknowns winning the empty mission still an ongoing thing? Just had every bot I put in wipe on empty missions (all six) thanks to the 'Unknowns'.

So I win, get no experience or energon but my health is completely gone when they hit my registry.

http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... _id=321236

http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... _id=321238
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... _id=321241

EDIT: Another 6 empty missions won by the Unknowns

http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... _id=321242
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... _id=321246
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... _id=321244

http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... _id=321247
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... _id=321245

Guess it is a thing.

Also on these missions, even though I'd selected them to Auto CR they didn't but probably because the mission thinks they took no damage even though they come out of it dead.

EDIT 2: And another 6 sacrificed to the unknown savages. Can't keep doing that. Oh well, guess I'm putting HMW back away again. Good luck everyone!

Yeah I lost some posts earlier. I think the whole site is more important than HMW. (I have not even been doing anything with the HMW for a couple months now anyway because of the time waste.)
