Upgrade Master Upgrade not staying on through hardlines.

**Mathalos**

The Upgrade Master Upgrade when applied to yourself does not stay activated through a hardline like other buffs such as Movement Accelerator 3.0.

Steps to reproduce this bug:

Load Upgrade Master Upgrade and Movement Accelerator 3.0.

Apply Upgrade Master Upgrade to yourself and Movement Accelerator 3.0.

Switch to another hardline.

You will now see that Upgrade Master Upgrade is no longer active and Movement Accelerator 3.0 is still on.

Indeed. Is this "bug" by design?

I think it's by design so the UMs have to stay flagged in the pvp area to be able to give the buff to teammates and not hide thee other side of the city and buff everyone in peace. I also think there was a thread made about this few pages back.

Lots of title buffs had this problem after CR2 was released. UM is the only one that still behaves like this. I'd say if Improved Hacking doesn't get deactivated by a hl then why UM? I'm for fixing this.

Galador

I really dont think this is specifically setup for UGM, bacause there are some builds that rely on that buff to make up a good chunk of their fighting abilities, I.E. Tankers. It then limits us to having to warp to another HL and slowly HJ or run our way back to the battle. Its just a bug that is in line to be fixed is all.

If someone gives you "improved hacking" it also takes away your upgrade master thing SMILEY Sometimes it can be a pain! ;P

As I recall the UGM and UGA buffs are supposed to be removed when you travel via a hardline. The rationale is that because it can be provided by someone else it should be removed. This however doesn't mean ALL buffs should follow this rationale but it was used in these 2 cases.

the problem in that thinking is that if you've got a buff bar full of other buffs, you'll lack the buffer space to get rebuffed with UM, meaning your forced to remove your other buffs so that you can get rebuffed with UM.

This is ridiculous. What is it called when you discriminate between buffs.... a buffist?
