Plains of Eidolon, Cetus - Host Migration Issues - Rewards, credits, bounties bugs

[(PSN)f_r_e_e_b_i_e_bg]

At least I think it started occuring after host left. I was doing a bounty on Cetus and finished one, somebody started another while we were still in squad - I was waiting at exit, but changed my mind to help. We did 4 out of 5 objectives and during fourth I spotted a Tusk Thumper Doma and makred it for later kill (it was a NW task). Before we go to 5 we finished of Doma and in terms of visuals it looked like we didn't get anything but 2 resources, although I feel that was just UI not showing properly, because stuff wasn't visible on ground as well - I know this happens sometime and you still get the prize. I was checking around a bit as sometime drops are not on the spot you killed your target. In the meantime squad went for 5th objective and somehow failed (capture I think). No idea how, all were decently experienced players.

Then I think host left and only 3 remained, I went for exit and waited. I believe the other 2 also left and I exited alone but game didn't count the rewards from previous objectives, the first bounty or the Doma kill. Game actually dropped me off ship as if you come to visit Cetus and showed me the end screen for rewards from mission which I did before this 2 part long one.

All in all about maybe an 1 hour wasted - I think resoureces were not present, but can't guarantee as I can't remember everything I got to compare, so it wasn't only a visual bug.

What happened after that was even more weird, and maybe it wasn't connected to this accident. Subsequent attempts to do bounties were very, hm, unexpected. Bounties I picked end up being another ones from the list, or at least rewards were from different tier 1 bounties. By that time I also noticed that my credits doesn't increase at all. After a few more tries with varying results in terms of what I picked as bounty, I left Cetus and returned to ship, then back to the citiy. I think that "fixed" bountie picks and rewards to correspond to each other as expected. As for credits I did something else than bounties and I started getting them back.

In conclusion maybe the host migration might have broke something, which resulted in good 2-3 hours of wierd S#&$ :). I did have the credit boost from DE and 3 day affinity if that matters. What else, maybe I was looking at a squad or mission progress while waiting to leave that dreaded host migration 2 bounty fail. I doubt that could've caused the issue but who knows :P, I sure am not sure how game handles the situation after host migration so not gonna theorize a lot. I suspect that if in squad of 4, 1 left, some of the other 3 becomes host. Maybe that someone also left and that's where it broke as it couldn't create another host, or maybe the other 2 were in party as I was left alone to be my own host but I was at exit and game freaked out :P. Usually if I leave a squad and became a host game treats objectives as if you just entered the fields I beleive - due to the usual rant about your tasks from Lotus and Konzu and active objective marker. Yeah, tech guys have to speak about it, but probably during one of these migration informationt about your progress is lost and game defaults to the last successful or finished mission you had before with nothing gained.

So thats that. If you want to be more efficient in general and not take risk, do one bounty per rurn and go to exit if team doesn't show up or just wanna be safer just leave squad. At least till it became secure or fixed etc. On that accord I do wonder why we can't leave Railjack squad, but that's for another topic.
