PVP nodes disappearing?

I'm not sure where to post this, so I'm putting it on here since it's sort of a gameplay question. I was playing the Heavy Metal event as always, and after a few rounds I noticed the desert node was disabled(as shown in the first screenshot in the link below). I though maybe they introduced a new limit or something for playing the same environment node over and over again(I have a habit of almost always playing the bottom right node, so yeah), so I just shrugged and moved onto the other nodes- however, the second one I played behaved the same way and disappeared and after I played the match on my last left node the screen stopped in a laggy manner for a few seconds and the whole event button got disabled(second screenshot). I can't do anything to restore it or at least confirm that the event was somehow ended/disabled for me. Why is this happening icon_question.gif

Here's the screenshots- I still don't know how to post images here so I posted them on my blog- here's a link http://commonfate.blog.me/220001767673 Let me know if you can't see them.

Edit: never mind, I just checked and it came back on. I'd still like to know why that happened, it kept me unable to play for almost an hour and dropped my rank quite a bit.

    Oh, so that's why. I was frankly a bit scared- The internet connection where I live actually has been bugging me lately, maybe I should get that checked. icon_e_smile.gif Thanks!

    seen it before usually just lag, closing and reopening the ap usually fixes it, and this should have been posted in the bugs and technical issues section.
  • Unrelated, but... I'm so jealous of your #150 rank with 283 points! I'm #218 with 408 points. *sobs*

    Hehe, I know, the new bracket system is actually working for me- I'm ranking much higher than when I used to be in the same bracket with top players in the old first some first serve basis. The problem is I'm a casual, F2P player who's quite busy and never really go much further than that... icon_mrgreen.gif
