Bug/issue: Traits & Abilities / Loadouts

dustyhayesdustyhayes Member Posts: 49 Arc User
Platform: PC

Character/Account: All characters (seems more prevalent on toons with elite captain/BOFF tokens applied)

Bug/Issue Description: 1.) Traits for ground, ship and sometimes reputation/ground/space deslotting upon map or ship change. Have to completely reset the traits and no warning that it has done this.

2.) BOFF abilities constantly changing to different options, usually between ground/space map changes. Skills were set for both ground and space on each officer on the actual skill tab, not stations tab. But they will change to other options that I've never used and it usually isn't known until I beam into a ground map and find that my officers are doing random things. For example: could have a tactical BOFF with Battle Strategies 1, Targeting Optics 1, Photon Grenade 3, Plasma Grenade 3 set as the abilities. Then randomly it will end up with something looking like Sweeping Strikes 1, Lunge 1, 2 and 3. I reset the abilities back and then a while later they return to the odd set.

3.) Switching between starships, I'm constantly being nagged with the unsaved changes to loadout question. (I don't use loadouts.) Then when I say no, it changes to the new ship and then I get the "Switching to LoadoutOne" when transferring to new starship. It doesn't move any gear, but sometimes it will empty everything out because of this "LoadoutOne." (Give option to turn off loadouts for character starships?)

Steps to Reproduce: I have not been able to make this happen deliberately. It is random when it happens. Sometimes it will not happen in a gaming session. Most of the time, it will do it whenever I go from space to ground maps.

Instead of making multiple posts about the 3 issues, I figure just combine them all into one post.

    Update 4/23 on BOFF ground/away team abilities resetting. I submitted a ticket to support and this was their advice:

    • Make sure that your preferred traits are slotted in your loadout. Your active traits in the loadout may be different than what you intend to use. After checking, please save your loadout twice.
    • Kindly try changing the settings of your loadout and active Traits, including the devices you equip for your ships.
    • Please check if your character has an invalid skill tree. If you see an error message "Invalid Skill" in the skill tab of your character sheet, kindly try retraining your skills (it should be free for invalid skills).
    • Please check if you have any unspent specialization points. If you have unspent points, kindly spend them first to see if there will be a difference.

    None of it worked. All of the bridge officer abilities are still resetting to weird ones. In this instance, all four of my bridge away team members have had their abilities reset. wo1s1ok4yr4m.jpg

    Is anyone else having this problem or am I just the lucky one? The BOFFs in question are not elite, but my captain is. I'm not sure if that makes a difference, but it is also doing it to another character to is elite with elite officers. It also does it to my non-elite ones.

    I've been encountering it too, or something very similar at any rate. My captain's traits get mucked up every time I play a mission that puts me in a ship I don't actually own. Nothing on my bridge officer abilities, though, but then, I don't change those as often as other people do, apparently.

    Interestingly, my reputation traits and abilities remain untouched every time. Same with the starship traits, at least so far as I've seen.
