Vet Maelstrom Arena - not saving?

So I am doing Vet Maelstrom Arena, get to 5th section - go to smoke - game time's out

Log back in - have to restart at 1st arena

Restart - get to 3rd arena - port out to main city - go back in - HAVE TO START OVER????!?!?

Yes - when I first started I grabbed the Arena quest from the demon guy out front...

What am I missing here?

    It shouldn't work that way, you should have to restart at round 1 of whatever stage you got to. Something is really messed up if it's completely resetting.

    Totally agree - no worries whatsoever at starting round 1 of said stage - BUUUUUUUUT this thing is doing a full factory reset back to round 1 stage 1.

    Its a real bummer summer

    Have you switched difficulties at any point?

    There are separate quests for (normal) Maelstrom Arena and Veteran Maelstrom Arena (the vet one is labeled as such).

    I wonder if that's interfering somehow.

    If you don't take the quest it won't save your progress.

    So before I started I did indeed change from Normal to Veteran

    Did you pick up the normal quest and then switch to vet? Because that would likely cause your issue. It only saves progress for the difficulty version of the quest you have.

    Oooooooooooooh - hey now!

    Yes - this is it I think

    I am pretty sure that I grabbed the quest - ran in - and was like oh snap this is on normal

    Ported out - set to Veteran - and did NOT drop the quest and then get a new one!

    PEBCAK.

    Greetings,

    After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic.

    Thank you for your understanding.
