I may just cry (recruit glitch)

[Digital-Boy]

I've always known BF2 and BF2142 to be buggy piles of code, but I've been able to tolerate it...until right now.

Just got done playing several rounds on the =DiG= CONQUEST summer server. Started off on Tunis harbor on the losing (PAC) team. Had one "bad" round and one so-so round (I did pretty well stat wise but our team still lost...). Then the map changes to Camp Gibratar. PAC team get their act together and kick ***. During both rounds, I'm able to get some fair kill streaks with the Clark-15B and Dystek Pulsemeter at the first flag before picking up the Baur for the second flag. All in all, I did very well, got some medals, and considered it a productive hour and was about to quit, content with my performance (I can't normally stop playing unless I have one good round), when my heart sank.

"Progress towards next rank 72/22,100." :dead:

It's not often that I get good rounds in like this, so I kind of like them to get recorded when they happen. Ok, sorry about that, couldn't rest easy until I vented off my frustration.

Don't get too worried, happens a lot on weekends I hear.
You'll be fine soon, check your stats on the bf2142 website and they should be alright

[Sniper1432]

stats servers are slow today, it will update

[Biotech2142]

Don't worry, it will get recorded.

[WolfAlmighty]

Yeah, stats accumulated while you have the Recruit glitch will still get recorded.

At any rate, I know how you feel. I had some great Clark-whorage rounds yesterday which netted me three consecutive gold medals (preceded by a Silver...damn 2x commander bonus :p ) and a ton of CQC pins and kill streak pins, but that was during the stats outage so they're all a no-show. Oh well, it's not like it made it any less fun Clarking people's faces off.

logout, login angain, join any ranked server and make 1 point, in this moment stats should update, works every time in past for me

That will still get recorded, and the private bug is usually good for people who still need points, cos usually you can get your big awards again

[Deesies]

That always seems to happen for the first rank. Everything still gets recorded.

Haha, yeah. I've managed to earn 3 Legion of Merit Ribbons (2000pts) and 3 Good Conduct Ribbons (500pts) plus a handful of bronze badges (20pts each) from the Private bug.

It should be on the Dice/EA glitch guide. (what a heavy book)

[Digital-Boy]

You mean on top of still getting it recorded, I also get career points for the badges/ribbons I earn "again"? :shock: Man, that's crazy...

Yup, thats why the recruit bug is rather good to low rankers

So If we were given all unlocks and ranks right away the game would be better?

[The_Eliminator]

Actually Yes

[Strike1.Tango]

Actually Yes

Well fair enough. I'm just sick of the general "bugged points = money"-attitude.

I mean it really ruins itself when you work towards something one day, and then the other day you just get the same thing for free.
