"The Black Hole" Node In Sub 3 Reset

  • Bug hit me too. I seem to have gotten some of the points, the ISO-8, but none of the rewards.
  • I usually don't like to ask for compensation but I really hope that the devs at least give us some free health packs since I have been burning through them like crazy every refresh since I have to use them on my team after retreating so that I can beat other nodes after this one.
  • It's happened 3 times to me. Points awarded but lost health using extra health packs to continue was the loss.

    I'd read about this ealier and then forgot. After wave 7, I remembered. icon_e_smile.gif

    Ditto. I get the full rewards for the runs I compete even with the reset, so it's not a big handicap. Just retreat when the second cycle starts.

    The rewards appear after playing another node in the prologue, but the retreating is a massive pain - completely kills off my characters, requiring health packs that wouldn't have otherwise been necessary to do other nodes afterwards.

    Cannot believe how many PvE's they've put out now with massive bugs in them. **** absurd.
  • has happened to me too. In addition, points are not accumulating correctly. I battled for 4000 points, and gained nothing because of the loop. In some levels, they will not give points, or I will receive points, and when it returns to the battle selection screen, my points to not reflect the newly accumulated score.
  • I've also encountered the same issue did it twice before i retreated.
  • Happened to me as well. I'm pretty sure I got the points, and I think the ISO, but no token. The node was also marked as completed.

    Initially thought the reset was kinda interesting, --> super survival, how long can you last? --> but after the third reset had to bail out. Thankfully while reading this thread saw it mentioned that you do actually get the rewards after completing another level, so I went back to check & did finally receive all the rewards.

    Same here. Every time I complete the node I get the "Victory" message and then it glitches and resets the battle from wave 1.
    Either retreat or go til you die I guess.

    Would have liked to see how the storyline progressed at the end of that node.
  • Same problem for me. I did get the token and points I believe but still a pain with retreating damage.

  • Same, got the rewards, and think the points too, but each time it resets it counts as starting again for the full points timer, which was annoying. Most annoying was losing my team and not being able to do other nodes without using health packs. Happened both times I attempted the node before I thought to come here.

    Same here. WAS [past tense] in competition for Elektra cover, but this screwed it up...

    at the very least we need to be compensated healthpack.png
    24 hour sub
    3 hour refresh
    8 clears minimum + a couple final hour clears, lets say 10 times through that node.
    3 healthpack.png used every forced retreat.


    You owe us 30 healthpack.png

    Also hit by this, not a "bug" I guess as you get the rewards after next PVE node won.

    Just having a never-ending node was confusing enough, but I get that - pretty fun. But having rewards "sucked into a black hole" and appearing in a different time and place - that's a bit to confusing I think.

    I'm fairly sure I got hit by this too. I completed "The Black Hole" and instead of displaying the rewards it immedietely restarted from the beginning. I didn't have the resources to go through all 5 waves again, so I retreated.

    I definitely didn't get the token, I'm not sure if I got the points or the Iso - I'm not sure of my numbers before I started the node. If there was any dialogue after the node I didn't get that either.

    Has anyone gotten through this node sucessfully and gotten the rewards, I wonder?
  • Acting on advice from the event thread, I did the easiest prologue mission afterwards and got all my rewards, including the token.

    Same thing happened to me, got my rewards from a prologue mission as described.

    Seems like this is fairly across the board... which would leave me to believe no one play tested the mission. Apparently someone thought it would take too long...

    Same problem this broke the entire event cause people could just do it over and over. The top people jumped up 80000 points abusing this node. I went from well placed to get a wolvie to fat chance without massive grinding
