I have the same problem too... I so wanted Overcharge power in my demolitions loadout, but I'm stuck with Blurring my way around... Please fix this devs, we all need variety, otherwise having loadout options limited like this makes it pointless to even have it.
I tried this method and it didn't work for me. But somethings are unclear. When you say PVP are you talking about Shadow Wars? And when you say lobby are you talking about the loadout screen between deaths? Maybe I'm missing something, but SW don't have traditional lobbies. Thanks in advance manQuote:

Yeah man, I sooooo wanted to toy around with different powers. I like dazin' 'n blazin' my targets with Blurr, but I kinda wanna try out Overcharge power for arkfalls and taking on harder enemies with brute force.Quote:

So, in the loadout screen / spawn screen I thought I try to rearrange my perks like I wanted them to be.
I only have two loadouts, and loadout 1 (with Cloak) was the one with the perks copied into loadout 2 (with Decoy), so I only changed the perks in loadout 2.
I then entered the game, and during the course of the match, I didn't switch loadouts, but I did switch weapons once in the Loadouts/Spawn Screen.
After the game ended, I queued up for another Competitive Maps Quick Match, and after a minute, entered another game.
TDM on Harbor, 6v6.
I didn't mess around with my loadouts, since, to my surprise, nothing in the perks had changed.
During the course of the game I switched loadouts once, and the perks stayed the same.
After the match was finished, I went into my Character/Loadout menu, and again the perks were still how I had set them up.
I switched between the loadouts several times, exited to the game, ran around, fired a few rounds, then went back in and switched loadouts again, checked the perks, and they were still the way I had set them up in the first TDM loadout/spawn screen.
I didn't edit them anymore, didn't enter the EGO-Powers screen, or changed them around in the loadout screen.
Then I had to stop playing.
I haven't played again, yet, so I cannot tell if it's still working, but I will and eventually report here.
My perks are constantly unequipping themselves whenever they please.

[QUOTE=Darth Haighter;287632][QUOTE=Gabryal;245289]No news from the help desk request I put in, they haven't gotten back to me yet. I recommend however that we keep on top of this issue until we get some sort of response. Not to be a prick about it, because this is something that is relatively new. There wasn't a problem with this until one of the recent patches so something got screwed up along the way.Good morning Ark HuntersQuote:
not trying to be that guy, but actually, the bug has been in the game since release... the first thing i did day one was build from blur to cloak. the problem is, as covered, with multiple powers, but it is cross all platforms and has been in the game since it was released. biggest problem in the game, imo. just hope it doesn't stay in much longer
*edit* messed up the quote function...derp
It's entirely possible Darth that I just didn't notice until after one of the patches, so I'll assume that everyone who has said it's been there since day one is correct and I am mistaken. Don't worry about being " that guy " we're all trying to be " that guy ( or gal ) " and get this fixed so I'm not offended, I am happy for the constructive criticism, as I hope that the Defiance team will be when they read this thread. I intend to post a link of this thread to the responses Mr. Richardsson's blog.
Bump again for another day. If people have friends who use the forums and have this problem, please tell them where to find this thread and add their voice. We use exactly this method to fix this problem and we just have to work together.
Cheers guys
Multiple loadouts only work for me if I want them to all have the same EGO power, perks and outfit.
On PC and I've had this bug since release day. It's super freaking annoying, renders multiple loadouts useless.
Edit: And while you're fixing this Devs, can we have a Keybinding to switch between loadouts?
I still don't understand how this made it to launch, and is not fixed in the first big patch. Unlike others on here, I do consider it game breaking. We don't have classes, we have EGO's and loadouts. It's total crap that I can't have a loadout for all 4 EGO powers with each loadout having perks related specifically to the EGO in that loadout.
I will try the PvP workaround though.. Thanks! Hopefully it works.
I was in the Alpha testing for Defiance and I'm also getting this bug on the 360.
For anyone who is curious, this bug never happened in any of the Alpha builds I took place in. There were other REALLY odd ones...but this wasn't one of them.
My best guess is that this bug stems from the ongoing problems they are having with the server lag and data transfers. Somewhere along the line, the server doesn't see that you have different loadouts and blends them all together, or as you swap it doesn't update the info correctly and leaves part of the previous loadout in the same slot.
Sure, it's annoying...but they DO know of the bug and are fixing it.

Hang in there. Until it's straightened out I'm just using the loot boosts and DEF boosts on every loadout. Sure, it's not that flashy or specialized...but it's solid.
I've looked down that list several times but I don't see the details of this glitch.Quote:

Some of us, myself included, may be late to the party, but we are here now.Quote:

I really hope they do fix this in the upcoming big patch. I'm far enough into the EGO ranks now that I have 3 of the powers maxed out with the supporting perks for each, but I haven't even used the others because it seems impossible to get the perks to stay set.
A keybind for changing loadouts would be great as mentioned above.

Okay, I really hate to say this, but my perks stopped copying each other. I now have three loadouts and four perks, and I can change, unlock and upgrade them even outside of PvP without a problem.
After having done this here: http://forums.defiance.com/showthrea...l=1#post289668 last night, my perks stopped copying each other, and today they didn't either.
In short, try setting up / changing your perks for each Loadout once in the Loadout Screen of a Competitive Map PvP Quick Match, then play that game and finish it until you get back to exploring. After I did that, my perks and loadouts remained the same, even with different EGO powers in two of the three.
I do hope this works for you as well.
Posted a thread with a possible workaround here: http://forums.defiance.com/showthrea...ching-Loadouts where all the info is in one post.
Today's patch actually fixed the issue for me, despite nothing being mentioned in the patch notes.
So far it has for me as well, outfits are working as well, and I have 3 different builds, if this continues... well we'll have got our message heard and that is wonderful. The only thing to do then is to move to suggestions for the hotkey for loadouts ;)

Thank you though, and thanks to everyone who contributed. Now let's send feedback to the Defiance team for the hotkeys, and everyone pat yourself on the back for speaking out on this issue. It seems this thread helped bring about the fix and in not only under 200 posts but under 150 :)Quote:

pss- Thanks Mavor for starting the thread
Yeah this happens to me too!
Really annoying having to change my loadouts every time I switch between them.
Also the final perk slot just unequips itself...
good news, I'll check and see if the problem is fixed for me on PC
I was getting a little discouraged because I didn't see any mention of a fix in the patch today or in the patch notes for upcoming client patch next week
I will gladly accept the fix though even if it was a stealth fix from Trion :eek:
Just checked myself and my first 3 loadouts are sticking. This is great. And I just unlocked a fourth so I can't wait set it up.
yeah i noticed it last night when i was playing... thanks TrionQuote:
