Not sure if I posted this in the right subforum...
Today after defeating the royal jelly again (and finding a rock jelly shield. Lucky), I go to emberlight. One of my party members knows of a glitch, and he showed it to me. I stood at the forcefield, walking in to it, and he threw vials at me. Eventualy, I was on the other side of the force field. I thought it was cool. I couldn't go back out, and so I had to take the elevator deeper inside emberlight to get out. Bad mistake. After going upwards after this glitch, I decide to go to a good round of lockdown. There, I find a player with the divine avenger. I think "He should be in tier 3". Then when we get teleported to our spawn points, I go out like the usual. But then, I realise my team all has divine avengers and such, and so does the enemy. Then it hit me. Because of that bug, I am considered tier three, and I can no longer play a good tier 2 match!
A patch should be issued to fix this bug, (fix seems obvious: make the vial not able to push teammates) and recalculate each player's tier next time they log on.

Off topic: Would that rock jelly shield be better than a stone tortoise?

It's a glitch. There is a bug report subforum...

I couldn't go back out, and so I had to take the elevator deeper inside emberlight to get out.

You could've just pressed ESC and clicked the "Return to Haven" button. You wouldn't lose anything doing so since you were in Emberlight.

that bug doesnt affect you in

that bug doesnt affect you in lockdown , check your equipments , if you have 4* or above gear , you will be sort as t3 in lockdown. stone tortoise's 5* is omega shell , which is the shield with most health

"I decide to go to a good round of lockdown. There, I find a player with the divine avenger. I think "He should be in tier 3"."

did you equip the rock jelly shield? if so thats why you went to a tier3 lockdown, correct me if im wrong but any 4* gear will qualify you going to a t3 arena not t2, equip all 2 or 3* equipment and you should be in t2? im not 100% sure cause i dont play much lockdown but im pretty sure my guess is correct.

test it

I didn't enter with the rock jelly shield, however I did enter with the stone tortoise.
I'll try equipping my old shield and see what happpens.
But hold on then: if its because of my shield, why aren't people with the twisted snarble-barb in tier 3 then?
The bug should be fixed though.
EDIT: Used (normal) Jelly shield. Playing tier 2. So if you enter a lockdown arena with even only one four-star item, you join a tier 3 match?

Pvp, Loadouts, and You

The item with the highest tier among all your loadouts marked as PvP determines your PvP tier. The rule applies even if you are using a lower tier loadout when you enter the PvP event.

If you don't use loadouts (meaning your Loadouts pane is empty except for ) then what you have equipped is used, obviously.
