Twice now I've been locked out of my scouts, forcing other players to run my vehicles. Today it happened on a return with a new player, and resulted in much loss of life and machines because the poor guy was overwhelmed trying to run all those cars.

Is there any way to rectify this situation? Or give us a do-over with me controlling my cars?

Also, why does the game lock me out of my events? I try to load but it hangs halfway through. This time I had to reinstall the game and reboot to get back in.

When I logged in today, I saw the active scout going on and decided to spectate. I watch the Veterans like Canner to learn map strategies. Anyway, I was spectating for about 10 minutes before Canner joined so I can attest to what he said. It was sad too, all those awesome cars taken down by outmatched NPC's. Outmatched if Canner had been in control...

I hope something can be done to make this right, as I am concerned about the frequent disconnects as well. And seeing what happened, geez, it was awful.

And when Canner got back in, here was heroic in saving the other guy by sacrificing his remaining vehicles, 2 which were Buzzers with characters with stats over a hundred, but it was too late with eleven against four and the four already hurt.

I hope a Marshall reads this and replies. I wouldn't want it to be common to roll back or compensate for things where bad luck or bad judgement has a natural consequence. But this was neither of those, it was a bad server or software glitch, and based on what I've seen, that is the only reason Canner is sounding off and why I put in my two cents.

Send a personal messsage to *goat starer*

normally to do with skins or decals or objects you haven't had before failing to load properly at load screen. very frustrating. I'm sure X-man will fix it but you need to make sure the caracters have damage reset as well or they get old fast!

Canner, I see your connection issues. You timed out 8 times before you managed to get back into the event 50 minutes later.

I only see 3 character that died, none of them were yours. So, are you posting this issue to help resolve another players loss and /or your characters suffered perma injuries? If your guys did, what were their names so I can correct it.

8 Vehicles were lost, including the 2 buzzers. I can restore these to their appropriate owners.

If there is anything else that needs my attention that we have not covered, let me know.

**All vehicles and 3 crew have been restored**
