Hey there!

Thank you for your report. This has been forwarded to the Dev team to review. :slight_smile:

Happens to me in areana also. Lost orb no rewards par for the course.

Happens sometimes in Expeditions.
But only on bosses. You do 0 damage.
You can also not stand on platforms, Amrine when 3 players have to stand on a platform to open the bridge, but platform doesn’t trigger when you stand on it, then you know you will do 0 damage on the boss because your character is bugged.

Not sure what trigger the bug, maybe when you swap weapons or items.

Please fix.

Can we get a timeline on the fix? Because I have linked several tickets where CMs respond but then no action is taken or follow up given.

Several of the posts just auto-close and no resolution is given.

This happened to me yesterday for the first time, in Barnacles M6 (Icebound, Barbaric, Desiccated). I don’t know if it was the patch or the specific mutation that caused it. I could interact with objects, such as reviving team members, but I could not cause damage and my perks didn’t do anything. I also didn’t aggro any bosses (I didn’t even trigger the fight as I got close to them).

I relogged two times (once to menu and once closed game completely). Both times I reappeared in the expedition which didn’t fix the issue.

The last time I relogged I reappeared outside of the expedition and had to rejoin the expedition - that fixed the issue. If anyone encounters this again it would be interesting to test leaving the expedition via map and then rejoin to see if that corrects the issue.

This was a major bug to us - as I’m the tank it cost us gold and messed up the run for the entire group.

Even if I was able to get back into the expedition eventually, us wiping because the tank was missing and then the time it took for me to relog and then run through the expedition was enough to not get us neither silver nor bronze. Luckily this happened when I was on discord with friends - I don’t even want to imagine the annoyance if it would have been a public group.

My friend had this issue. He had to log out and wait until his character’s body fully disconnected from the server (when the server removes you from the group after disconnecting). Whatever the bug is, it’s attached to your player that is spawned in.

That’s interesting, I never logged out long enough to be removed from the group, but I was removed from the expedition and had to rejoin. (But I didn’t have to get a new group invite.)
