    I'm pretty sure I'm not reloading prematurely like an idiot, and yet sometimes when I reload at the end of a clip my stacks are disappearing anyway. Anyone else having this problem, or am I just crazy? Seems to happen more with large clips than with shotguns and and pistols.

    Eh, well I guess I can't even play the game right now unless I want to pay Microsoft 5 million dollars.

    It hasn't happened to me in the time I've played it, but man, as a guy who likes to reload after every fired shot, and was actually encouraged to do so with my Zer0 Sniper spec, my finger is constantly itching when playing the Mechromancer.

    Are they all just disappearing when you're reloading or do you just notice a decrease afterwards?

    Same exact thing is happening to me. Even had discord kick in when it shouldn't have.

    Yeah that tree scared me so I figured I'd use Little Big Trouble to learn the character. Now my Deathtrap has a laser that just WRECKS dudes.

    Apparently you can't keep Anarchy Stacks if you quit the game. Sucks balls >_>

    Since I downloaded the compatibility patch, anarchy definitely seems broken. Stacks are only supposed to drop off if you reload prematurely, but they will often fall off when you empty an entire clip.

    I've noticed this too but it was happening far more often yesterday than today. Sometimes just hitting the X button to open stuff while auto-reloading will make my stack disappear.

    On the flipside I've also had my stack go up to over 60, when I've only got my skill level where the max should be 50.

    Yeah the compatability patch did not help the Anarchy talent at all. Also I've lost stacks by opening a vending machine while my clip in my gun was fully reloaded.

    The default max Anarchy is 150

    When you get downed you lose Anarchy rapidly. Could that be it?

    While I appreciate your input, I would like to remind you that I am not an idiot.

    Yes this has happened to me as well. I even remapped my reload button as playing fps's its a habit to reload alot. It was suggested on the steam forums that this could be caused by lag if you are playing with someone else? Its happened to me since I started playing with a buddy of mine so I have yet to test it by myself.

    I've noticed this happens to me when I'm in someone else's game and am lagging really bad. When I host, however, I never have this problem.

    Haven't had this happen to me yet. My problem is accidentally reloading when looting which I solved by emptying the clip before I start. Though I did laugh the first time she shouted "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" after I lost a full stack. Max Anarchy with max Close Enough turns you into an unstoppable killing machine add that with max More Pep and elemental Badass bonuses and you become death incarnate.

    I've not had the issue myself, but I've seen it suggested that this happens if you're using the Mechomancer in an online game and you're not the host.

    Yes, this appears to be the issue. I first encountered the bug playing Co-op, and haven't had any problems when playing by myself. Thanks for the info guys.

    I haven't had a problem with reloading during the course of a fire-fight or squeezing off a few rounds to kick off the reload animation, but a few times when I've picked something up off the ground or even out of a chest, it's triggers as if a premature reload has occurred and depletes my stack. As such, I've learned to only pick up items when I have a full round in my gun. I'll switch out to another weapon just to pick up loot if necessary.

    Still I am liking the character-class and find it much more playable than the Siren I had been playing. I loved the Siren in the first game but the sequel changes her Phase-power and I found it less useful than the original Phasewalk.

    I have been going down the Little Big Trouble tree and you do so much damage with all the elemental effects. Also my deathtrap can clear an entire room without my mechromancer doing anything

    This is from being in another person's game, if you host there's no issue. You can get discord and rational anarchist and start gaining accuracy and fire rate this way, spec out of anarchy, or wait for a fix.

    Really disappointing for those of us who wanted to play the dlc with her.
