No gain in experience points, all work lost.

If this bug is still there, it's bad news.
Reason as my minor ego, and opposite my desire to be a murderer.
A coagulated, gloomy thinking in the intelligence, as my major ego.
An antinomian theorem of behaviorism, in all of my thinkings.
It's what we call "The Inversion Impulse."

Did your internet burp_ Because if it did, guess what Hawken has to assume_

But as DarkPulse said, if this bug lives, that's not good.

Well, the devs clearly need to safeguard someone's progress somehow.  Right now the system apparently accepts any sort of value it's given, meaning that if it burps, the system has no checks to see if it's REALLY zero, or if there was prior progress.

I think they need to keep a couple of "checkpoints" on their internal servers - think of them as snapshots of a player's progress over the last, I dunno, let's say hour, and taken every 10 minutes or so. If they see someone who was suddenly L15 go down to zero, then obviously the system should say "no wait, he had progress, add that to the last one instead and use that" as opposed to "What, he's zero now_ Okay!"

Hopefully this gets fixed, if not during a mid-test patch, then by CBE3. If this makes it to public beta state, it will be very bad news.

As for me, just in case, I'll be quickly exiting any match where I see my mech magically become Level 0 again. Especially as I have two Level 20s and I do NOT want to lose them!

I played 4 games of Siege over the past 2 hours and 20 minutes.

2 Lost connection to the server (but I did not have network errors on other apps)
2 Finished normally.

DarkPulse, I don't think SGRock's mech got reset to level 0. I think he's just saying he got bumped from the match due to Connection Lost and that meant he got absolutely no points for it.

Which is no different from what happened if you left mid-match in CBT1.

Well if that's the case, then yeah, but I thought there was also a "reconnect timer" that would allow a player to get back in and not lose that.

Still, I'm going to be pretty wary on the Level 0 stuff until I don't see it anymore. :P
