Defense sentinel still up when player leaves game glitch?

Hello Folks

I would like to report a glitch that happened last night. A engineer left the game and his defense sentinel lasted for the entire game. I could charge the sentinel it worked well.

I went to play and one of the players mentioned it did not shoot. I only loaded it up was very busy shooting so I did not notice this.

it was elites' offensive sentinel and I have seen this happen when an eng leaves mid wave (not sure if it is a connection or crash leave or a regular exit)
saw it happen with a paladin a while back and the paladin was usable !!

I watched it after I died.
The gun would come out and track the monsters, but it never fired.
Also some if not all of elite's blocks stayed after he left and came back.

I was on and the only person alive was elite. he had 30 blocks down. when I talked to him about this he said it was a loophole. here is a picture:

he said it was a loophole. shouldn't that be considered cheating, considering you are getting something you aren't supposed to?

Yes i agree it is a loophole... as to how to get to it I have no idea. The point is its a loophole just agreeing with all of you guys aka a bug or any other name you might want to put it and sry to disappoint you but i dont cheat

That isn't a glitch/loophole/or cheat...Elite can make that many blocks

the exploitation of a "bug" is also frowned upon by the kind people who run this server

elite is a Bug! (hehehe ) joking

well when you said its a loophole that implies you TRIED to do it

Not necessarily Trooper. I've been disconnected many times in the middle of a game, I'm sure everyone has at some point or another. Who says he tried to do it? Just because he called it a loophole instead of a bug doesn't really imply that he tried to exploit it.

But then again I'm just a Hobo so nobody's gonna listen to me anyway

I'm saying the way he said it made it sound intended

It doesn't sound intended to me.
There are somethings that happen that may look like they benefit a player, but may actually not. Objects may exist on the client but not on the server...I think we had this discussion regarding the limitation of the def sent and rockets. There have been times that objects may exist in one place on the server but visible in another place on the client...this happens frequently when a noob drives a vehicle into my walls...the blocks maybe gone but now i have an invisible wall.

I think we need to quit pointing fingers and focus on if this bug is an isolated issue or not. Elite finding a way to recreate this exploit may help in finding the root cause of the bug...but in my opinion it was a network fluke.

he said it in game.....
