Grand Arena not locking mods

lifeisagame007

I already filed this on Answers EA website, but wanted to bring it to attention to other players in these forums as well. Mod lock does not work, I modded my teams for GA, next day after player lock I moved mods around and now some of my teams are missing mods in round 1.

Visually when I check my teams mods before entering the battle it shows correct mods, but once in battle those mods don't boost my team.

Video showing the bug: https://youtu.be/MdYMMUZp__U

Note in video that my BB8 is at 307 speed and R2 at 306, meaning that BB8 should go first, then R2, then Thrawn. But this does not happen, Thrawn goes first, and my droids plus Rey are super slow!

This bug happened in both of my accounts, also a guildmate of mine had the same issue. So it is no an isolated event.

This bug cost me the win in round 1 (and 1 zeta material as well). So players beware, you have been warned

In the video your Thrawn’s speed shows 317, so he went before bb8 and r2 who are at 307 and 306, respectively.

I’m saying I don’t understand what’s happening here, according to the video’s speed listings, Thrawn should go first.

Wrong, BB8 unique Grants bonus TM to droids, so both of them get 16% TM at the start of the battle. I use this team all the time to beat Revan, so I know the sequence very well.

Have you considered you joined, moved your mods, and then they locked?

Or at what point in time are your mods...

I joined, then moved mods and left them on until after Player lock as it is my understanding that mods lock at player lock, not at join time? Is that correct?

KausDebonair

Oh, right, I thought bb8 gave TM at the start of the droid’s turn, not battle. Oopsie.

My only theory is that 16% makes Thrawn and the droids hit 100% TM at the same time and a coin is flipped, and you got lucky for bb8 always starting? I don’t know how the speed to TM algorithm truly works mathematically. Otherwise I have no idea.

I'm glad you brought this up. Same thing happened to me. I thought I was sure that I made sure I had my fastest mods on my Darth Revan before player lock. Alas, hes empty now and sitting at 160 speed haha

Let's keep all discussions of this matter and additions to this at Answers HQ.

This can help them isolate what is happening.
