Borg Invasion Bug

edited January 2015 in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
I have noticed over the last week that trying to do the Borg Invasion missions have been bugging out, and number of people can atest to it. one of 3 things happen, 1: You get in kill the 4 groups of Borg ships and the the Unimartix ship comes in and all is good. 2: You get in kill the 4 groups of Borg ships and the Unimatrix ship DOES NOT show up. and finally 3: You get in and it shows that all 4 groups of Borg ships and defeated and there is NO Unimatrix ship to be seen.

Please fix this.

PS: could have put in a pun but I think it's self explanitory. lol

    I've also been encountering this, as has my teammate. I've seen it in Orellius, Beta Ursae, Sirius, Alpha Centauri, and Regulus.

    This bug is in the game since Delta Risings starts. For month now the Red alerts are bugged. I seen no response from the devs yet.

    This.

    It's also possible that after dedeating the 4 groups somehow 2 Unimatrix ships show up. Happened twice to me back in november when I still played the alerts.

    In the last case #3, this is related to #2. The instance is empty because: another group already came in, blew up the 4 groups, and no unimatrix spawned, they then warped out due to #2 bug but because the map does not count as complete, you have warped into it and witnessed the aftermath.

    I've verified this in Alpha Centauri, Beta Ursae and Orelius. I couldn't reproduce the issue in Sirius or Regulus on our newest build.

    Thanks for the reports.

    It's pretty random, Frost, and it's not limited to specific sector blocks. Sometimes it'll even be random per-instance in the same sector, e.g. if an Alert pops in Sirius and a bunch of players join, spawning like 12 different instances of the Alert, some of those 12 instances will work fine, some will spawn 0 unimatrix ships, and occasionally one might spawn 2 unimatrix ships. This has been broken since day 1 of Delta Rising.

    You can also get into a situation where multiple unimatrixes spawn

    It happened to us tonight in Beta Ursae -- cleared 4 sets, the status for that step turns green, but no cutscene of unimatrix appearing. The circle where it ought to be appears on the map but it's empty.

    Just observed the same issue in Zeta Andromeda as well. Killed 4 sets of Borg and no Unimatrix ship spawned.

    As noted previously I've instanced jumped a couple of times when I've seen this happen an some times the Unimatrix does spawn within different instances of the same sector block.

    Glad to see this getting some dev attention. The comment regarding not being able to repro it in certain sectors is a little disheartening as it's clear they don't understand the bug and consequently where to begin to fix it. This bug is by no means a deal breaker but it is incredibly annoying and has been allow to persist for far too long now. Knowing that the devs are starting from square one, only now just becoming aware of it (despite bug reports detailing it since day 1 of Delta Rising) would suggest we're in for a looong wait before we see this fixed.

    Here's hoping I'm wrong and a fix is found asap. You'll just have to forgive me for my pessimism as when it comes to fixing bugs in this game in a timely manner, that pessimism is well earned.

    I am also experiencing this... Tau Dewa appears to be fine but I have tried 5-6 times at least to do the borg invasion mission in Beta Ursae and and I am getting the #2 bug every time where no unimatrix ships spawn at all... and so I have to leave...

    AskRay closed the new topic about this issues. I am sorry if I am wrong, but I don't believe the Dev's often read the forum. Hence the frustration many players, including myself, often feel when we report a bug and nothing seems to be done about it for prolonged periods. At least the Devs are aware of this bug now.


    On Going Borg Alert Bug!!
    Borg Alerts in BETA URSAE and ORELLIUS are not working correctly. This has been an ongoing bug since DR release.

    The missions generate, but will NOT conclude. After defeating the 4th Borg group the main battle will NOT start. Thus leaving players with a timer but NOTHING to fight. Ergo the missions cannot be conclude by players. The only options are; 1, leave, 2, run the clock out. Either way NO REWARDS are given.

    This is an ongoing bug. I have read the Dev blogs and posts and FOUND NOTHING regarding this issue. I don't even think they are aware of it despite ALL OF THE BUG REPORTS about it.
    What happened to those unique forum ranks I paid for?

    Just observed the issue in Iota Pavonis as well so worth having a look at zone as well (assuming its not a more generic bug to the mission type). 4 waves killed, no Unimatrix spawned and couldn't check any other instance because I was all on my own with no other instances active.

    I was just in Psi Velorum alert and it spawned TWO unimatrix ships. After killing them I switched instances and again it spawned two unimatrix ships in the end.

    This is still bugged for month now.

    Alpha Centauri Block, no Unimatrix.

    We have a fix for this inbound. It's not yet been tested, so I don't have a E.T.A. for it.

    Tested? I thought that's what Holodeck was for? :P

    Sorry, but after spending fifteen minutes hunting for an Omega particle in orbit of Bajor which clearly does not exist, I couldn't resist.

    ^So true....

    But seriously, this isn't the first time this has happened...does your old hotfix still exist or did someone just forget their coffee before doing the code again? :D
