I was playing a gold PUG tonight on PC (Glacier w/bees and Cerberus). Joined game in progress at Level 1 with another player.

 

Around Wave 2 I had only seen 2 other players so I hit the ESC key and saw that there were only 3 playing. Then, when the level 3 Escort Mission came there were 4 players in the circle! I hit ESC again but only 3 players were listed.

 

I assume this is a known glitch. Just curious about WTF caused it? Also, does the 4th ghost-guy get any points/credits after we all extracted? 

 

Or, are there ghosts playing? Do we have a problem with dead people joining ME3 lobbies now?  :D

I was the ghost once. You get the rewards all the same as if you weren't an online apparition, but you get the added benefit of enemies getting blown up by unknown forces. A win-win, in my book. I believe it's an issue that happens rarely during the joining process, where they end up "not all there"

normal glitch. although it sucks if the invisible person gets taken out (announcer still says 'team member down') and you have no idea where they are or can do anything about it. i had someone yell at me over the mic one time because he died and i was standing next to him but couldn't see him.

Never had that happen, but I always wonder if I'm standing right on top of the downed player and s/he thinks I'm a jackass for not reviving.

I saw this glitch a couple of times. The "ghost" player was only on the kill feed for the medal achievements (25 kills, etc.)

Happens occasionally.  The host sees everybody, but the clients don't see all the other clients.  It isn't necessarily mutual either.  I had one Origin friend that it happened to consistently, so maybe it's a network setting issue (sometimes).  The telltales I'd notice in PUG games are the medal notifications that pop up for the fourth player or the unexpected mystery revive.

Happens quite often, when duoing with a friend, where I'm the only player on my screen, really annoying, but hilarious from spectator mode sometimes like in my sig. We mostly duo thundadumb, no idea if that could have anything to do with it.

Its actually a pretty common bug.  Its kind of funny getting revived by a invisible player when you are down.

It's caused by some weird joining glitch, don't really know more than that - likely data gets lost when initializing the lobby at the start of the game, and basically your computer never gets the message that so and so is in the lobby as well.

 

You see evidence of them for stuff that is handled host-side, like medals (50 weapon kills, etc.), and of course their kills fall down dead out of nowhere, and their projectiles will appear if they're using a projectile weapon, and they factor in determining how fast the escort moves. Meanwhile stuff that's calculated on your host will glitch out - you already noticed them not being on the scoreboard, their location doesn't exist, let alone get updated, I believe the objective counters will display incorrect numbers or completion amounts if the invisible player contributes...

 

Interestingly, but not surprisingly, if one person is having an invisible player, it's not uncommon that they're not the only one.

I like when the ghost is using a Kishock, out of nowhere there will be spears sticking out of enemies.

Oh, to be popular where one only has to say one word and get many likes :P

 

On topic: This does happen but quite rarely. We had it once where 3 of us could see each it but none of us could see our 4th friend. We knew he was there because it told us in the chatroom and things were just "randomly" dieing. To them, they were playing the game as normal and I believe they got the credits.

I had the opposite happen: 4 people on the scoreboard but only 3 players on the map. My 4th teammate was whiplashed off the map and into the ocean surrounding Firebase Rio by a Dragoon

I had it happen on Dagger this last weekend.  I thought there was only three of us in the game, but I noticed the enemies behavior was off, and the announcer would say teammate was down. It turned out the other two people could see him, but I couldn't. I don't think he was doing well because they voted to kick him in the next lobby.

played a game last night where I was the only one on the scoreboard, but there were at least two other players showing up in the kill feed.

Normal glitch.  Mostly happens on Condor but can happen on any map.  I always attributed it to lag but not sure why it happens.

It happened to me today. Pug Gold, the ghost was a juggernaut.
Never had it happen to me before.
