I promoted all my characters, and three bugged out (Human female engineer, Turian Sentinel and Quarian Infiltrator).

Mostly I am worried about whether any of my promotions actually went through and were counted for Operation Raptor.

I was planning on enjoying leveling my characters with my boyfriend this weekend (he reset all his and had no glitches), but this kind of puts a damper on that plan. It is odd that they decided to have an event using a glitchy part of the game.

Hey OP, thanks for giving me a shout out at social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/344/index/10820024, I didn't get any replys. Ironically enough I haven't been able to repeat the glitch so far trying different methods, yet as you could imagine promoting characters is tiresome.

[Lexa_D]

I agree that the reason is promotion, because not only my old stats returned, but my old color scheme too. System must've picked up old file

[Wotannanow]

Had this happenb to several of my characters too -- I promoted 5 classes this morning. 3 were affected by this bug

[PyroByte]

Got the same bug/glitch. Promoted 6 classes this morning now 3 characters are bugged, can't even change their names.

Does it fix anything if you promote the class again? Did anyone try that yet?

[Lynx7725]

Just curious. For those of you who have encountered the problem, did you promote a chara with the same class as the bugged chara?

e.g., you promoted your Level 20 Human Infilitrator, now your Level 16 Salarian Infiltrator is bugged.

No, it works the other way around. You have X Chars from a class and as soon as you promote the class the "old" X Chars are still around, but are Level 1 but have all their previous skill points allocated.   

Worst case scenario is that you had every class choice promoted, then you're stuck with the previous, bugged chars.

ahh... seeing this makes me actually glad that a) i'm not promoting, and the PS3 wasn't included so i don't have to worry about this problem affecting me

[Klokos]

People who have this issues, are you using Origin cloud ?

That's very odd behaviour. The next thing to logically check is to see if the SP War Material score has increased or not (because that's part of the process, and reporting if it has been impacted can narrow down the buggy area).

Seems that the code to clean off the old character is broken or at least only partially working. Not sure if it counts as a promotion, depending on the way the code is structured (i.e., what is done first, cleaning off the old chara or awarding the rewards first).

The odd thing is that if the bad promotion code is client side (i.e., with us), then the question becomes when EA/ BW pushed the code to us. I suspect however, promotion code is server side, which means somebody doing dev work might have broke something while preparing for the current event. (Logically, that there was no reported cases prior to the current event points out that the event prep is likely where the bug was introduced,)

Also, is it a PC only problem, or are consoles affected? As far as I can recall it seems to be PC centric. Which makes the bug introduction even weirder.

It's not a problem, it's an opportunity.

Specifically, it's an opportunity to record a successful Gold with a team composed entirely of Level 1 characters.

[Ethaot]

Well, I didn't have the bug when I posted about an hour ago... But I do now. Yay. At least it's not for a race/class that I actually use. Just a Drell Vanguard.

I promoted all 6 classes this morning, then started up my Quarian infiltrator again. After a host disconnect this bug occurred, changing the appearance to my old setup and also copying my leveling choices. Thankfully I have many respec cards, so it was easily fixed. For some reason, my old Human engineer female character has returned as well, even though I've only used the Quarian engineer.

It only affects PC Players, as far as I'm aware. Promotion does increase SP EMS, the N7 Rank increases normally as well, but sometimes it just seems to store the old characters (with appearance options etc). The bug seems Server side since it doesn't happen instantly and some people had it happen after 12 hours. I was able to play 3-4 Rounds before the "old" characters reappeared in selection screen. There are of course numerous exploits possible with this bug, which I won't mention.

Unlucky? :/

[Zoimos]

happened to me, promoted infiltrator last night and leveled it to lvl 18 and went to bed. back on this morning and all races have there old names and full powers

[Nicandra]

This just happened to my human vanguard, just like many have mentioned in this thread already - the character was reset back to level 1, but it kept its name, appearance customization and when looking at the powers screen it lists the old lvl 20 build with negative amount of skillpoints (-75).

EDIT: Asari vanguard as well by the looks of it.

[Arcataye]

Shouldn't all the skillpoints be reseted when promoting, as not to have one point already in skill number 1?
Just promoted two classes for the first time and they went back to the default colors, weapons and with one skillpoint used, had to give them a name again too.

Not using the cloud no.

Strangest thing happened, I promoted the sentinent class and only one of the characters were bugged... 

[PejaStojakovic]

Had this with my Soldier and Infiltrators. I used a respec-card to fix my Soldier but I am not gonna do that for my infiltrator-builds (got 4). I will probably powerlevel that class to 20 and hope that its fixed after a promotion.
FYI: I promoted 4 classes this afternoon and I never had this before (N7 of 600+)

[Elite3141]

Has this glitch been confirmed to affect systems other than PC? I promote all the time on Xbox, and I haven't experienced this once.

BW:

So guys there's a bug with promoting characters we can't seem to find. But here's what we'll do -- let's create a weekend promotion that relies on people promoting characters! It will be like one giant beta test. Lots of corrupted game files for everyone!

[Xcimeister]

Meh and I was looking forward to releveling my Sentinel. <.<

[sirjimmus86]

This is hardly a devastating bug...it happened to me when I promoted my human vanguard. Ended up with a level 1 vanguard with the skills of a level 20, breezed through levelling.

If you promoted just to be able to respec then its a pain, if you promoted just for the sake of promoting (to see what happens/for an event/boosting N7) then its brilliant.

Only happened to 1 character so far, promoted 6. On PC
