Wedding Mission Team Level Shift Bug/Glitch

[Dogooder]

Dear Devs: Thanks for reviewing this.

 

The past two days, once each day the team level on the Wedding mission has moved from the Leader's level to a  lower level. 

 

The leaders have broadcast the new lower level is my level and accused me me of various things. 

 

This is a bug because:

 

1. I haven't entered the mission before the leader (I'm often one of the last to enter on lower level toons).

2. I never interact with Posi (or go near Posi, I stay beyond the ushers on the sides). 

3. I'm never close to the entry crystal before the mission.

4. I've actually seen the mission level change (to a lower level) as the leader enters the mission or approaches or touches the crystal (it's not clear what the leader is doing outside of approaching the crystal to enter the mission).

 

I've organized and lead these missions, experienced griefers rushing in and starting missions (sometimes Nemesis missions), and experienced people rushing into missions before I enter, and seen level changes. It's so irritating that I've stopped organizing Wedding runs. Therefore I do not do it on others missions. 

 

Some is going wrong, not sure what. I summited a ticket online as well.

Are the missions set before anyone has clicked on the crystal?

 

One way to prevent people from going in early, is set a mission in another zone.   (I'd pick a co-op mission, like any RWZ one)

 

When it's time to enter the wedding mission, then set it to the proper one.   Otherwise if someone clicks on the crystal, it will often set it to the person who just entered if they have the mission.

Yup, this is what's happening. If the mission isn't set by the team leader it will default to the level of the first person who enters if they also have the mission. The only thing you can do to minimize the problem is for the lead to get and set the mission before putting the team together. This way if anyone enters early it will be the at the lead's level, not the level of the person who enters. The downside is that this allows people to enter before everyone is ready and unfortunately there isn't anything you can do to stop people from talking to Posi and starting a Nemesis run or skipping the ceremony (I posted in the suggestions forum that the event should be altered so that only the mission owner can talk to Posi, which would eliminate this problem).

Griefing has been RAMPANT for this event, and yeah it's been infuriating. I don't know why people gotta be assholes. But here we are. Unfortunately there isn't a lot that can be done about the level issue. It's just how the game is set up. It's not something limited to the Spring Fling.
