Loadouts copying outfits and perks when switching between them

[Meenkie]

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.

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've been begging for a keybind for loadout switches since the Betas, hopefully we'll get one one day, and I wonder what the Patch did to the Ego Grid. I will have to look at it when I play here in a little bit.

So Ive been using three seperate loadouts for most of the game now - had no problems changing back and forth. All three have different outfits and different gear loadouts but they all had the same perks and power.

The problem started tonight when I finally bought a second power and slotted it in my third loadout.

When I switched to the third loadout from either of the first two - it would copy the outfit and perks. If I switched from the third (which now has the copied outfit/perks) to another loadout that has something different - it would again copy it to that loadout. The process basically would go on forever. The loadout with the second power copies whatever loadout I change from and then it copies itself to whatever loadout I change to, from it.

This, naturally, completely destroys the point of having multiple loadouts. Very annoying bug - anyone else encounter this?

where were you all when I was putting this up during beta, then launch, and now still nothing. finally you all have more than one Power and atleast 4 Perks so now you all experience the same thing as me. And guess what there is nothing about it in the Upcoming patch so looks like you have to keep your same perks in each loadout unless you want to individually change them each time you switch loadouts or go in or out of any match making.

I believe those patch notes are for the big Apr. 15th update.

Don't notice it in this draft of patch notes regarding that specific issue. Hopefully future drafts or when the actual big patch does hit, this issue will be resolved.

I actually don't recall this bug in Beta, but I wasn't on the forums then either. I have to say that my ignorance of this bug in the Beta's ( I wasn't in the Alpha ) is my own bad, that we are addressing this now however is the important thing. Some of us, myself included, may be late to the party, but we are here now.

Edit: Is it just me or is this bug fixed? I just tried it and it's not switching back yet, am I the only one or should I expect this to go back to the way it was?

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.
