I know this has been reported multiple times, this thread stands as a record of what it is and when it happens.
What it is: some players go to get a nuke in warburg, you know launch the missile,( "but I'm le tired" "well, then take a nap, then launch the missiles!" -if you get the quote), in the process of doing so as soon as they tell a lab tech to follow them all players in zone experience getting disconnected from the mapserver. Apparently, the mapserver resets to some previously known state before you told the technician to follow you, so you may end up standing in a different place when you return to the game.
I suspect this is a built-in failsafe to protect against bugs permanently bricking zones or characters.
Observations: When it happens:
#1: Genesis Incarnate Powers are Slotted
IF you do not have incarnate genesis powers and have this bug; clear all enemies around the lab technician and turn off ALL powers and unslot all incarnate powers from their incarnate slots. then talk to the lab technician and ask them to follow you.
If this works, the problem may be one of your powers or enhancement procs etc., to remedy it: Try turning on each power ONE-at-a-Time walk around and then turn on the next one. repeat until you mapserve. what ever power you turned on before you mapserved is the culprit, report it. Someone else with the same power but no/different enhancements should try it. if they are also bugged then it's the power, if they are not bugged it's an enhancement.
If it does not work!: It may be one of your Auto powers, these are powers you cannot deactivate easily, you'd have to get someone to make a build with the same sets without those Auto powers, then if that doesn't cause the problem you'll have to build them in one at a time until it causes the issue.
It could be power casts too, or pets, or pet power casts, or bonuses, chances for something etc., use a process of elimination, watch Combat logs, and see what powers/pet powers cast before you mapserv. report them.
simple tests really.
But for now I do know that the following causes it 100% of the time Definitely:
Socket Core Flawless Genesis
it is not known if ALL genesis powers cause it but it is highly suspected as such.
