As the title says, the heroic mode problem is in the latest PVP Omega red . there are no heroic mode option buttons anymore but the PVP games keep on switching from normal to heroic without any recourse. Can you fix this ASAP.
Hi there,
Thank you. @Jeto alerted us and it has been passed on to the team.
Are you able to grab a video of what you’re seeing?
Otherwise, can you walk me through exactly what is happening step-by-step (screenshots if possible)?
- You play a PVP Mission as normal?
- The next node is Heroic?
I have not encountered in Omega yet, but I dealt with it in Chavez. If the node is heroic, the choice selection screen for your team requires x-men. The node might remain heroic for the next battle or it might flip back to regular. Each time I logged on and each time I entered a node it was a surprise whether it was heroic or normal. Most of the time it was heroic.
reds also would disappear, mysteriously reappear, or come in hours after someone hit (and other reds come in in between so it’s not the normal delay).
I will add on to that that MMR is broken in some parts by presenting much fewer options. Had 4 possible targets at start of event. Even had a streak with 2 targets and a permanent open node, where the team I beat them popped to the open spot and the other node vanished.
Other player reported their Qd nodes being replaced by other Qs when their game switched to Heroic and then a few hours later their game is back to Normal and their Qd nodes changed to the teams they had Qd previously.
As if there is a shadow realm of Normal/Heroic
Just an update here:

Thank you very much
I know the event is being scrubbed, but if @TheMigz you are still looking for the cause, I’d suspect something related to breaking MMR is causing the heroic/normal issue.
The players reporting the problem are early S1 when there would be few opponents and thus low MMR value. They are also the competitive players who routinely break MMR no matter what it’s value is. That would explain why they keep seeing it the whole event and the rest of us who join later and never break MMR don’t.

When I played the pvp I absolutely did not break MMR. Something else is going on.
I ended at something like 18 wins and 645 pts and saw the nodes switch numerous times when I logged in to check. I was trying for another 15 wins (from 10 or 11 and about 270 pts) in the final hour but I fell asleep, lol. During that time I saw nodes change spontaneously between wins. At least once, anyway.
I started late in the America PvP, didn’t see Heroic anything, and didn’t notice anything different or weird with matchmaking.

Me either.
Though I started in S5 more than 24 hrs from finish. I never got higher than 700ish points at the end for a T100 finish. In day 1 I might have gotten to 400 points.
I saw maybe 2 teams that had xmen on it that I would not normally see.

P.S. I know u and I are android players. Some of those reporting are apple players. Bluewolf are you and apple player. Maybe its another apple only issue.
No, it is absolutely not an Apple issue. Damn Android fanboys..
Android here. I had two nodes stuck on heroic the whole event and one that was normal. I skipped a bunch of times and restarted but it stayed this way the whole time.
I think it’s worth remembering they told us they did not even intend for Heroic mode to be active, and they could not figure out why it was.
I am not sure different players’ experiences will be that informative in this scenario. Bugs come in all kinds of flavors and can have triggers that we as players don’t have any way to see.
I think they launched it broken and then tried to back it out. Seems like folks who joined before they “fixed” it ended up in a broken event, and us late joiners might’ve been ok.
No, it did not only affect S1 early joiners. It was turned off for half a day before S4 even started. Still affected people.
Weird! I wonder what happened.
The trouble with MMR and invisible players is also persistent in Famine PVP.
Getting reports from multiple players they can’t see others (and yes, all players that intimately know MMR in and out, so don’t start) where they should be able to.
Also several players with restricted targets (3 total) and vanishing nodes due to lack of targets.

Same trouble with Loki event @TheMigz
Got MMR locked after multiple crashes and can only Q 4 people before nodes vanish.
this is the 4th event in a row with these kind of issues since the messed up Heroic. How are you proceeding on the fix?
Like Daiches said, the Loki event is messed up. I got attacked over and over by a player with no retaliation nodes showing up. The guy has the same MMR and was close to the same score on the leaderboard, but was completely invisible when skipping through. Then my nodes started vanishing. After changing and playing some matches in the lightning round, my nodes reappeared.
Do you guys normally get reds to show up right away? For me, I lose the points and see my score has changed, but don’t get the red until I restart the game. It’s been that way for a long time now – probably before Unity.
