Bases not flashing
« on: September 10, 2007, 06:55:36 AM »
Yesterday on the Mid Mesa map I went into the tower on a Vbase. The only reason I went there was because it was close to a bad guy VBase and I just wanted to look around.  There were two bad guy panzers on the base and a Goon parked on the field with all troops running. And the base was not flashing.
I have seen this before on other maps but just getting around to whine about it.

Bases not flashing

Bases are not flashing for you if they are already under attack the moment you log on. Once all enemies have left the base alarm trigger range, it will flash as soon as the next enemy triggers it again.
This happens on each map, of course.

This may be true, but it still seems like a bug to me.  If the base is being attacked when I log on, it should still flash on my map.

All bases flashing with red square around it

Two days ago, before the latest patch, I noticed what looked like all the bases had the red square around it like they all were uncapurable. They also were all flashing red squares, as if under attack, but not the base itself was flashing. The bases under attack were still flashing, but the bases not under attack were not flashing only the little red square. I went into a sortie, and they were still the same. I noticed it in the tower when I was checking out to see where I was going to go. After the sortie, I relogged it went away.

Yesterday I saw the same thing. Wierd, and the only way I noticed about the little red squares is when I was planing a mission, and we were discussing what base to hit, when someone suggested a base, and I said "Oh we cant take that base, its uncapturable" I was imediatley corrected that it was captuarable. Thats when I relogged, and sure enough it was A-OK again.

Cheers
Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.
