Fixed Blackest Night (flashback)

People aren’t getting heals or mana.

I’ve ran it now as both troll and heal - and I can only assume that it’s something to do with cross-faction grouping. But also, people from the same faction aren’t getting heals or mana.
This isn’t a line of sight issue either.

- People not having shields when the should (John Stewart hard light shield
SC)

- People not getting heals (even when stood right next to you)

- People not getting mana (when stood right next to you)

Think this is an issue with forming a cross-faction group before queueing. Gameplay breaking bug that's caused many frustrations and a disbands.

Also results in people being put down instead of picked up. And sometimes people don't even have any revive lives.

Hope they can fix it soon

Yep. Cross-faction is entirely botched. Remember when content used to be tested before launch? Those were the days...

The bug also turns other faction's players' names purple. It's not limited to operations, I had it happen to me during Legion: Convergence of the Unmaking too.

What's frustrating is the Task Force X was a feature that worked perfectly fine before cross-faction groups were introduced. You don't mess with core game like that without properly testing. They should've opened test server for that. That issue would've been identified and solved before launch. Now they're adding stuff to the broken code and it's getting worse.

I get what you’re saying. I’ve seen the cross-faction bug many times in a lot of content and t5-t7 runs; but this was just random queuing for the new content - just to see what it was like etc.

When I was trolling, certain players weren’t getting any mana, (I’ve maxed arts and 793sp) I’ve trolled for well over a decade.

When I was healing, one person on particular at LB, just wasn’t getting any heals at all. But when healing, the troll was complaining to someone about their mana use - I’d said I think it’s bugged.

Since putting this up, I’ve ran it 3 more times on alts - and every single run, the troll has been struggling. Peoples mana bars are WAAAAY down. And I know some of the trolls, good/decent players. Something is clearly wrong with the content 100%

This whole episode just feels off in some sluggish/not fully lagged (but delayed type way)

Also 1st boss is not giving loot to hero side when paired with villains, weird bugs. Only 1st boss.

Can we get a dev response on what the plan is? current content is basically unplayable. At this point it’s such an obvious issue it’s borderline weaponized incompetence to increase replay badge use on this **** raid. Subscription is off after 2 days of this episode and wallet is closed until this is fixed.

it is for sure related to cross faction. 100% sure after only getting the raid done once in 3 days after 12 attempts or so

its heals/revives/power regen all impacted and totally inconsistent. blackest night is by far the most impacted content i have seen from this bug. hands down.

the only thing I'm unsure of is if pre-making cross faction group and queueing is what's breaking it. any of us who care should start grilling our pugs to see if people queued premade. but people barely read in dcuo and that makes that a challenge

Problem is that in BN regular happens everytime. I won't show any proof, one of the dev can get on and queue.

Issue has been verified.

This roll out is much better than a test server

Exactly

Seeing as this is confirmed - is this now going to be like the mogo hordes bug - and not be fixed for almost tge entirety of the episode?
It’s not exactly a “small bug” it’s one of two raids available needing ran in-order to collect marks, and buy the extortionately priced “elite gear and OP item(s)”

This bug needs to be top priority to get fixed ASAP. Pug players are losing out on marks.

What is the time frame for a patch or a fix Because trying to heal villains in the raid is not happening.
Also a new bug with the same raid, Manhunter Teleported out of the main boss fight room and started agro on the players that were in the respawn area... so not only could we not heal each other the bosses decided the fight was not over just cause we died and went to give us more of a butt whooping.

I just left the raid on my villain healer out of courtesy to the hero tank I couldn't heal in Blackest Night Elite. It was a random queue group and I couldn't heal or shield fellow hero group members.

This is beyond frustrating that I can't even queue up and do my role without a major bug getting in the way.
This has been a problem since the chapter launched.

THIS is why the chapters should be PUBLICLY tested on the test server.

/rant over

Every time. Cross faction, Healing, Power, Pickups are not possible. This is a raid where all of that is vital to avoid wipes as it is mechanic heavy and you can't just overwhelm it with DPS and hope for the best.

Why is this still a thing? lol! This is going to end up like the fearful day Mogo towers bug. Fixed the last week before the new episode dropped, and so people stop caring.

As long as the events keep rolling out. Eh?!

Has to be they got one Dev working on the bugs and he's stomped as to fixing this. This the type of bug you stop the team from doing what they're doing to find anyone that can work on this to work on this.
