Same here hope it gets fixed :confused:

same here.

Happened to me today also. Went from rank 29 to negative 12.Hope this is fixed soon.

Just noticed that as well! decided to actually screenshot it but it crashed the game tho i did get the screenie!
Here it is!


been going trough the proving grounds and decided to check on my guardian rank and poof, suddenly lost 40+ levels

Now currently sitting pretty at -32 O.o not pleased. Pretty much gimps giant portions of progress you’d otherwise be making. Sure you can keep farming and get weapons, but in the end you are missing out on dozens of stat upgrades, especially considering these negative levels seem to move at 1/10 the speed of regular levels. What a joke. I don’t even know how something like this happens tbh.

This happened to me as well, but after reloading the game it fixed itself by rewarding me with the points I had earned while it was negative. It’s now happened twice, I hit character level 50 half of my guardian rank went negative. I think a possible fix is rank the guardian rank up once the reload the game, or possibly restart the game. I’ll get back to this after I’ve tested this.

So after earning a few Guardian ranks while it was negative, I relaunched the game and it fixed it, as well as before giving me the points I had earned, while the rank was negative.

Summary: If the guardian rank goes negative, earn a few levels (possibly just one), exit to the menu, then close the game and restart it.

Edit: Noticing this isn’t a perfect solution, Has happened to me a third time will watch it and see what changes, as I’ve tried this without success.

What the freak is happening with those small updates, iam literally getting pissed seeing the game freaking bug and glitch, from FFYL being glitched as in literally looking at the ground having to reset ur game, to bosses ragdolling through the map after fighting them for 3 to 5 minutes, to Crashing at the end of dungeons not being able to claim loot, to negative guardian stats as in -stats, to Negative guardian rank first -15 Now after the last soft patch being -48, i literally farmed back those 15 just to get patched to the floor again having to deal with another freaking issue that had to be solved before the game hit the market. STOP TOUCHING ME!!!

Happened to me as well. I had -18 at some point.
It seems to be related to the game decreasing your guardian rank for some reason. When I was roughly at Guardian Rank 48 my rank got reduced to 30. The game then recalculated the tokens based on the difference between current Guardian Rank and tokens spent (the trees showed 48) and that was -18.

happened to me too, it looks like I just got awarded too many ranks and then it fixed itself resulting in negative tokens. I don’t mind this too much since I got awarded the ranks and can grind my way back to 0, however, I hope it won’t break anything else… it sure doesn’t look very ‘healthy’ and I’m afraid it might have other side effects. No idea how to get it fixed though.

Happened to me today, all of a sudden I had 23 guardians points to spend after a proving match. I went ahead and spent them. When I opened the game later I was at -22. It must know exactly how many points you should have based of exp earned.

Yep, same thing happened to me last night on PS4 pro. First ?coding glitch I’ve run into.

I got a bunch of ranks for free, spent all the points, then a few hours later I was negative.

I think it’s a bug to get free guardian points and then the game realizes at a later stage and sets you back all the levels you got for free.

Same, free points then 2 Ranks later negativ then 5 rankups later positiv 5 spend them now negativ again ???

So i’ve been able to recreate this many times, for some reason if your game crashes on the next startup your guradian rank will more or less double and give you the points of the new rank to use, after a little bit the game will detect something went wrong and will give you a notification that “there are game updates avaliable” and have you quit to main menu when logging back into the game your guradian rank will go back to what it was before the crash and the points you used will appear negative as long as you used the points of your “temporary” rank this isn’t so bad at newer guardian ranks but i’m sitting at 102 and have -62 points if my game crashes my rank jumps up to a little over 200. if your game crashes and these negative points bother you make sure to check you aren’t using the “temporary” points just wait for the game to give you the update message and continue as normal. Or just use the points and live with having to level up to the “temporary” rank you were given to earn more points

It happens to just about everyone so far at some point. Everyone I know and have seen with GR has had this issue. I’m sure it’ll get resolved in the first few patches. Not sure how they will balance it out for everyone, some will get screwed but it’s gotta happen. Gearbox has always supported this franchise pretty well, better than most others do.

Is this related to the 0 cost bug I wonder? I’ve been seeing this bug with both cash and eridium slot machines plus both eridium and cash vending machines. Still has the correct price when you buy but it does display 0. Perhaps there’s a display bug within the guardian rank but the %'s still work as designed?
