Bugfix for those who keep having their alliance swap itself to Viktor (blue)

[BoxHat.1824]

1. Swap vindicator traitline for something else, a core line, Rene or Herald

2. Log out, log in 

3. Reapply vindicator and assign skills (remember underwater)

4. Profit

 

Posting this here as its own thread for better visibility as it seems to be the most common and frustrating bug encountered by new Vindicators.

It seems to work, but only until the next time you log out and in - really hope we get a more permanent fix for this soon. great find though.

I’ll swap from my vindi build template to ren then back to vindi and that seems to work

Here in NZ the leader of our opposition party is called Luxon lol 

Makes seeing #luxonforever very unusual

Thank you, Ustaf.2953, I will certainly try that.

One thing that I find realy strange is that I played vindicator for several days without noticing any bug, then BAM! this thing got on my radar. I believe I noticed/fell to the bug more or less after reaching New Kaineng for the first time.

It really makes mounting unappealing now.

So I tried it last night, but in a slightly different and easier version. It worked. Next order of business will be checking whether the log out and in is necessary.

1. Swap vindicator traitline for something else, a core line, Rene or Herald to a different template tab

2. Log out, log in 

3. Reapply vindicator and assign skills (remember underwater) Switch back to the original template tab

i hope they fix this asap. it also reverts back to blue when in downstate or trapped in something like BUBBLES or doing personal story it reverts to blue always

I cannot further check my theories. First, the bug has not reappeared since I applied the solution. Second, today's patch notes suggests ANet has fixed it.

This sounds like a success to me 🙂
