Right, so I want to fight for the Gallente in the ongoing event. So, I deselect all other factions under Factional Contracts, leaving only Gallente.

The next one has me listed as Caldari in the team rosters, but over the blue MCC bars it says Gallente Ugh

Oh well, I figure, maybe I'm fighting for the Gallente after all. I finish the match, my team wins. I note the name and location of the region and check it in the star map. The Caldari owns it Sad

The prospects for finishing the current event challenge seem rather bleak. If I...

get placed on the team I'm not asking for
and can't even be sure which team I'm fighting for

...how will I ever be able to keep track of my progress, much less actually have time to play enough matches to finish it?

The match I played to the end was here: The Citadel - Isoma - Oto - Oto IV - District 11. It finished some time around 13:05 game time. My team won by MCC destruction.

There's a bug that says your fighting for the opposing team but when in battle your chosen side should be blue in your top left hand corner before deployment.

So the MCC health bars are the definitive confirmation about which side I'm playing for. Cool, thanks. What I don't get, though, is how the district we fought over could belong to the losing side right after my team won the battle for it. Oh well, as long as I get that victory counting towards my event goals, I guess it's not that big a deal.

There is a good chance it was due to caching or something along those lines. You were on the Gallente team though. :) Thanks!

Noticed it a few times in the warbarge. Pretty strange. The roster bug impacts folks individually. Half the squad thinks we're fighting for the wrong faction ... the other half thinks they're fussing for nothing 'cause everything's straight on their HUDs ... squad leader swears up and down he's not an idiot and indeed has us in the right queue. Everything appears to straighten out on deployment. We're checking the same place your are (above MCC health bars). Glad to see CCP confirmed we're OK. o7 Ah, come to think of it, I was in an FW match last week where one guy insisted we were on the wrong side. I guess that was this bug. I'd love to join in on one of those scout Gallente FW squads - what time do you guys normally run? Are there normally enough people for more than one squad?
