Loss of the Anti Projectile System gadget ownership/credit after respawning

This might be the most minor of minor things but I think that it might be worth putting it on the table for consideration.

As we know, this gadgets persists even after the owner dies and respawns and will keep doing its job.

But something is lost after the respawn, it is like already placed gadgets are not owned by the player who placed them anymore and instead will not give credit (XP and mastery) progression to that player and so the player has to place brand new APS gadgets on the field to continue their progression.

I just got Irish to T1 and I hoped that this little peeve that slows down the progression of a player who is not spending the round trying to not die at all will not have their progression slowed.

Maybe this is a leftover from measures taken against people who died after placing c5 on a tank to be able to detonate their c5 after respawning, early BF3 style

Unless of course this is working as intended.

  • @UP_Hawxxeye I'm playing Irish at the moment and although can't say with 100% certainty, I'm sure I have got points after respawning.

    Of course I may be talking out my hoop but will keep an eye out on this as as you say, bit annoying if it IS the case.

    @UP_Hawxxeye You deffo get points in a downed state, but couldn't confirm if I did after respawn I'm afraid.

    @Trokey66 it is after you bleed out completely that you stop getting any notifications about the job the gadget does.
  • @UP_Hawxxeye It’s an UI Bug, your sentinel still destroys explosives for you and counts towards mastery but it isn’t shown ingame.

    Im at mastery 291 atm with Irish and I noticed this bug a long, long time ago but didn’t say anything becouse i would be to scared that dice somehow f it up again.

    Either way you can place a new one and see your points again or let the old one stay but you won’t see the information.

    Personaly if it is in a critical position where explosives may come, just let it stay, otherwise just place a new one.
