Mission Transporter power very bugged

[BalrogLord]

 

Thought I would post this, since it's a PIA to me, but perhaps it's known and hard to fix?

The mission transporter power has been broken for years, it often takes me to the wrong zone,

or the wrong place in the right zone. Yes the mission is correctly selected and it's a door mission.

Interesting...I use this all the time and I've never had a problem.
Is it taking you to some other mission on your list, or just to random locations?
Do Team Teleporter and Long-Range Teleporter work correctly for you?

Only times I have that happen is if I haven't actually selected the mission.  If it's just yellow, you've clicked on it, but you need to actually "select task"

 

And for Mission Transport, you have to do that before you click Mission Transport

It's usually another mission in the list. The other tp's you mention I don't use much. Maybe half the time it works correctly?

I always select task and it turns red first.

the only times that it has sent me to the wrong zone is when i forget to select a mission, which happens with unnerving frequency... 😄

Same.   So, I'm at a loss if @BalrogLord is selecting the mission prior.   It's as if it deselects for them

ah! i wonder if it has to do whether in a red zone or a blue zone? that it might fail if in the wrong alignment zone? for example you are in cap au diable, but your mission is in steel canyone. i am pretty sure that will not work... if i remember correctly. 😉

It still works, but some missions are alignment specific.  Those do get cleared out of your mission when you change.   And I think if you're a mixed alignment team, you can't select a task that is limited to a side.

 

Ok, you can setup a test with a villain and hero with Radio/Paper mission.   You can select the mission, but if the wrong alignment tried to teleport to the mission it fails immediately with "You cannot teleport to the map this mission is on."

Side specific missions in Ouro can't be selected.  So not sure what is going on with BalrogLord

It might be something related to that, but I know for sure it works at least sometimes...

Transported to a mission in Grandville from Talos. But sometimes I end up at a different mission door.

As I recall when I click select task sometimes it tells me it's a side specific mission, everyone must be on the same side or similar.

But no errors when I click the tp.

@BalrogLord and @lemming here's what i think may be happening...

 

i am in a blue zone, i have a radio mission in PI, a DA mission in DA, and a patron arc mission redside. i select task for the redside misson, but since it is redside and i am in the blueside zone, it does not select, by indication that the star is still yellow. when i use the mission TP, despite having selected the mission, it sends me to the first viable mission, in the neutral DA zone. while in the neutral co-op zone of DA, i can select the redside mission, by indication of the red star on the mission.

 

NOTE: i did not test to see if it would send me there if it was the first mission or not. (i tried it, as a rogue in PI with the villain mission first in the queue and no mission selected, and it sent me to the villain mission 🙂 )

 

just paying closer attention to the where the mission is and making sure it is selectable and selected, would probably solve most of my problems with mission TP... 😉

Ah ok, so it looks like the original problem is with selecting an other-side mission not actually selecting it,

and the game not telling you that with a popup. Then the secondary problem is the mission TP power sending you

to a mission you didn't select when there are none selected!! What a mess, so there are actually 2 bugs.

Mission TP should just pop up an error when there are no missions selected, and do nothing.

If you don't have a mission selected but have missions available, mission teleporter will always send you to one of them. (I think the first one in the list usually.) That isn't a bug, that is the power doing what it is supposed to, sending you to a mission you have.

Sorry, that makes no sense. Sending you to a mission that's not selected at all is a bug to me. I want to control where it sends me.

*shrug*

 

Edit: Make a suggestion to make it work that way again?

You can.  Make sure the star is Red (not Yellow) after clicking "Select Mission" and you'll transport to the mission you want.  If you hit "Select Mission" and the star remains yellow, then go to a co-op zone or a zone of the same alignment as the mission and re-"Select Mission" to turn the star Red.  You'll go tot hat door 100% of the time.

 

Otherwise, using the power with nothing selected or the mission star being "Yellow" - indicated it's highlighted and actually NOT selected - will perhaps send you to another mission on your list.  This is not a bug and works as intended.  You may disagree, but the power cannot read your mind and will do its job and send you anywhere from your mission list, unless you specifically tell it to go to a particular mission.  🙂
