FIG:If I am reading this right, those who get affected by the DLC where the agent/orbs are reset are those that play cooperatively over Xbox LIVE only and then play the single-player campaign, am I right? So if you get the DLC and play the singleplayer campaign without hitting Xbox LIVEs coop campaign over again you do not loose your agent/orbs?
No.
My friend got his game resetted. Here's what happened.
1. I'm playing the new DLC.
2. He comes online and we immediately start playing in co-op.
3. This continues for several hours until we quit that game, and he hosts a new game.
4. He chose the "reset gangs" option. This is what resetted everything.
5. We are both in the game. He has zero stats, I have my full stats. It asks me where I want to save my data. I tell it not to save anywhere, and quit the game.
6. When I quit the game, it automatically saved his game, thus making his zero stats permanent.
7. I start a single player game. My stats are at zero. I turn off the console before it has the chance to save.
8. I turn my console back on, and my stats are back to normal.
The "reset gangs" option is the problem -
if you reset gangs in co-op and then save, your stats are gone. Whether you first play in co-op or single player is not the problem, because I started in single player and he started in co-op and we both had our stats erased; the only reason mine wasn't permanent was because I switched the console off before it could save.
