Possible rep bug?

[Alex Fury]

I can't say 100% that there's a bug, but I've noticed a couple times that I have good rep with a faction (Fennian and BraveStar specifically), and even though I don't do any missions against them (I just don't do any for them either), that suddenly my rep drops nearly 20 or more. I'd had BS at around 20, and it's at 2 now. I'd had fennian up around 85 (trying to find that next ladder reward) and multiple times it's dropped. Currently around 56.

I've done missions and rested. I've done missions for Los V, but NOT against Fennian. And I have not yet failed a single mission for Fennian, so I have no clue what is going on.

I know that resting without doing missions for a faction can lower their rep some over time. But these have been fairly large drops with no real explanation why. I haven't seen the same with any other factions. (The only other one I've gotten to anything over 40 so far has been Streets, and since I have Cognac's chip, I just don't really care anymore.)

Alex Fury - any help you can provide in producing a pattern or a repetitive event would be great. Any time passed may cause factions to reduce their Reputation with you, as may Encounters (but its always printed). Visiting backrooms? Taxing? Safehousing? Let us know if you see a pattern!

[Alex Fury]

fallen - I'll keep an eye out, but...

Backrooms - haven't really done any of them. Playing on Brutal, so they can be costly as still surviving gangland.
Taxiing - some, but not a lot. Did do Thopter a time or two
Safehousing - Zero, have purchased none yet
Encounters. There's been the occasional 'finnian raiding group in los v or streets' but if I fail the negotiation, I flee and never attack. 9-11 AP and 6 ath means I get away FAST

Done a decent bit of hotel/motels here and there to burn off extra heat. But every 'days' worth of missions almost always includes at least 1-2 from Finnians if not more.

So I have no clue why the rep loss has been so rapid


One idea occurred to me just now, but... I have my doubts. The 'rep fix' for MnB.. perhaps it was a bit retroactive and knocked it down as my char is an MnB one? but timing still doesn't seem to jive

Alex Fury - the MnB rep fix has not been released yet (next update) and will only have an effect as you exit the tunnels. Keep an eye out for us and let us know!

Canceling contracts?

[Alex Fury]

fallen - Nope, haven't cancelled or 'lost' any contracts. Perhaps one 'threaten/negotiate' one that turned into a fight. But that should not have dropped me 20+ rep in one blow

@alexsfury - ok, please keep an eye out on this issue for us. I have been playing but don't see it happening, so if there is a bug its likely due to something you are doing that I am not.
