I think you're going to have to explain it to me.

Yeah, or maybe point a giant arrow at it

Look at his alignment (villain), and then look at what zone he's in on the map, (Skyway City).

I was thinking the same thing ...

 

Then

 

I SAW IT ... I think 🤪.  I can tell it's been awhile since I was ingame.  

 

 

Hint:  last I heard of something like it it involved a Hami raid.

 

Sheesh wonders if I'm totally wrong.

Ah.  Fair enough.  Been a while since I managed to experience that bug.

You going to make a report in the Bugs board, @TheZag?

it immediately disconnected me from the zone and teleported me to mercy island so i think the bug is already fixed.  i never even got to move and the ingame screenshot was all black.  i had to paste that into paint.

[GraspingVileTerror]

Fair enough.  "Working as intended," as far as I'm aware, then.

The first time I wound up in Atlas Park as a Villain was during CoV Beta.  Got Droned, sent to the Hospital, then couldn't leave the Hospital due to the Drone out front, heh.

Any time after that, which has been . . . three?   Maybe only two times.  But, yeah, any time after that, I had the same experience you just described.

[Ukase]

Try taking a gold sider to Talos through an SG portal and the same thing happens. (except you get ported to Nova) Working as intended as far as I know. 

[JasperStone]

When CoV first came out there was a villain on Guardian who ended being stuck blueside.

[Techwright]

Had something like this happen back on live.  My team had entered a blue-side mission instance, rounded a corner, and found a red-side player's avatar standing there.  The player was as bewildered as us, and we all laughed about it.  We held up the mission until a GM sorted it out, if I recall correctly.

[Glacier Peak]

This occurs across alignments, as I understand it the game some how checks for that, then if your character doesn't align with the requirements it ports you to a default zone. A bug from a year ago allowed any level character with a no longer ingame teleport power to return to zones like Precinct Five, Destroyed Galaxy City, and Outbreak & Breakout after leaving it. 

 

Examples below...

[Mopery]

Here I was thinking I saw it in the pillar directly ahead of "TheZag-seven" with the diagonal shadow, making a Z-7 shape all merged together...

 

Oh well.

 

That's pareidolia for you!

[fitzsimmons]

I thought this was about the text "once you see it" in the chatbox.  I saw that shit pretty darn quickly.  Proud.  I didn't even get distracted.

It was a fairly rare occurrence, but finding a second player/team in your mission (either the same or opposite faction) was a known bug back on Live; I seem to remember someone describing in the live forums having it happen, then rampaging through the mission with what amounted to a 16-member team.

[The_Warpact]

I thought this happened on live in Atlas dont remember the server and the villains started attacking lowbies.

I thought I either heard about it or remember it, anyone else recall this?

Yep, happened to me and my ex once. We accidenatlly invaded someone else's mission. I can't remember the details exactly, but we ended up having to trek back from the Hollows.

It happened to me on Homecoming back around August 2019.  I reported it in the Bug Reports forum back then.  I was on a Blaster running missions in Night Ward when I somehow ended up in a team's mission in Talos.  IIRC, my character was level 34 and the mission was set at level 21.  I joined the team to malefactor down so I wouldn't ruin their XP. :P

This could be from the pvp bug.  Get a villian to confuse 2 heroes who would keep each other confused and zone back into a hero zone.  Then they could target a blaster with confuse and he ran in and nuked a costume contest under atlas.  That bug was fixed the same day.

[GraspingVileTerror]

And does anyone remember certain posters claiming that it was (quote) "Impossible" (unquote) to have Villains and Heroes together in the same non-co-op/non-PvP zone?

*shrugs*

I mean, I know I need to be more careful about my word choice sometimes too, but "impossible" in the context of a game always seems to imply to me that something is not possible.  You know, completely unsupported by the code to the point where it couldn't even happen as a glitch.

 

Glad to see that this sort of thing can still happen from time to time.  Gives hope for the future.
