Host Migration, Harvester, No Detron Piece

[Xylia]

So friend and I went to start a Mobile Defense (I forget which mission exactly, some corpus mission).

 

We started having bad internet issues (probably his wireless acting up like it sometimes does).

 

The lights started flickering when I got stuck in a room. He tries to say something over Skype which I didn't catch, then Harvester appears in the room I'm stuck in, and I see the warning message pop up, meaning it was my Death Mark.

 

I shot him for a split second and he dies almost instantly, and doesn't drop anything at all.

 

Then, a second later, a Host Migration occurs, and the mission continues as normal.

 

Get to the end.... no Detron piece.

 

As hard as this stupid guy is to actually get, I FINALLY get a harvester to spawn and I don't get the stupid thing anyways.

 

EDIT: Friend who finished the mission on his own said that it dropped a Detron Barrel. He told me just now that it dropped. Now, I already have a Detron Barrel (the only piece I do have), but still, these kinds of issues need looked at. Apparently the Harvester must have spawned in two rooms at once because of the severe lag, because I was stuck in a room by myself because of a lockdown and the game would not let me hack the computer, or switch weapons because of the heavy lag that caused the disconnect in the first place. The Host Migration must have removed the item orb from the game world (shouldn't it just appear in the end of mission rewards instead?)

It's like hunting for Despair, Hate, and Dread all over again.

Even without the host migration, there's no guaranteed drop, just a chance. No bug here.

The Harvester has a guaranteed Detron piece drop when killed.

The Harvester has a guaranteed Detron piece drop when killed.

I had no idea of the change, but is there another source aside the wiki?
