Mastermind Pet's losing their Tier 2 'Upgrade Equipment' upon zoning.

[dnomad333]

So I've been noticing that my Thug/Kin Mastermind Pets have needed to be upgraded an awful lot, but I took it as I just needed to summon them again, as they have been dying. Today I noticed that we we zoned into a mission, their Tier 2 upgrade (Upgrade Equipment) had expired or been removed. I didn't think anything of it, upgraded them again, but kept an eye out. The next time we zoned into the mission it happened again. Once the team disbanded I decided to do a little testing and found that, so far, 100% of the time, they will lose their 2nd upgrade after they zone. As you can kinda see in the clip, the pets respawn or load 3ish times. The first time without the 2nd upgrade, the 2nd time with it and the 3rd time without it again. Any ideas?

This has been an issue since live. They don't lose their upgraded buffs and can still use the powers, they just lose the appearance, which is also annoying.

After some more testing on Live. ShaHillGames is correct. Power are retained. It is the costumes that are just affected.

 

However notice in the picture below, that the only costumes affected seem to be are Minion Tiers 2 and 3, and the special minion in Tier 1.

 

Note: This was tested on a Thugs/Kin mastermind

I just saw ShaHillgames post about this. Is there a way to attach this one to that one, since the title is more specific?
