JamesDeuce Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 This has been happening a lot since the new patch. A WZ will start, but only 7 will be in it. The WZ will have 7 until about mid-way through when it will finally fill up. This didn't happen very much before the patch, but now it seems like it's happening every game. Seems like whenever there is a new patch, a slew of things go wrong. Any one else noticing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sryxarn Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I have also noticed it happening frequently. What was even better was having people bail out early and either we wouldn't get a replacement leaving us at 6 or would only get 1 to take it back to 7.

heechJunzi Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) I'm now absolutely convinced this occurs when a player doesn't enter or leave queue when it pops, but instead sits afk until timer expires. I've now seen this multiple times when someone I'm grouped up with goes afk and doesn't come in; the empty slot is never filled. Come on Bioware, that's enough info for you to get it fixed.

Say 4 people are in the que, only 3 out of the 4 people for some reason are getting the enter warzone message and the 4th person doesn't get one. Instead it just looks like to him that they still qued up for a warzone. The second that 4th person realizes he missed a que and unques, you guys get an 8th person. Been happening to my and my guildies all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No timer man, it either knows you're alt tabbed out, or afk for like 30 secs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JattaGin Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I played a warzone about one hour ago. We were 7. A guildie of mine was queued, too, but got no pop. I had so bad lag that I decided I cannot help the team anymore like Wedge can't help Luke in the future and so I quit with apologies. Immediately after I left, my guildie took my place, so they were 7 again. He could have gotten in as 8th player, but he only got the pop when the group was down from 7 to 6. Sounds like a bug to me.

Morpurgo Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Happens in roughly half the matches. Especially frequently in Alderaan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joesixxpack Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 It's a bit of a drag when it's a good match with otherwise evenly balanced teams. Definitely needs a fix, and haven't seen any dev notes or comments about it yet. I haven't put in a bug ticket, will do so this evening so it can join the stack of others for same issue.

Satedbuffalo Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Happened in 6/18 WZs last night, with a guildie always queued and ready to go. Dev response would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunacriss Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 This has definitely been happening. I had multiple warzones yesterday where we never had more than 6 or 7. I even had a pub v pub warzone where we started with 6, were backfilled to 8 and the other pub team had 5 the entire time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaniardInfinity Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) There is never a reason for a warzone to start with less than 8 players. Ever. And on warzones like Voidstar where you cannot make up lost ground without a solid team, it is crippling for the team at the numbers disadvantage. If this is a bug, it's one Bioware needs to address and soon. I don't normally get aggravated over a game, but it's truly idiotic that such a thing is so prevailant.

Solarenergy Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 It's highly unfair when the opposing team has one or two more players than you have on your team. Very serious problem, and should definitely be on their high priority list for bug fixes. Yeah there really is no reason for any warzone to start with less than eight. This reminds me of way back on my first server, when we'd often get warzones that started with six. But that was because it was a dead server with only 20 people on fleet and only 10-12 people queing for PVP on any given night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctyc Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 We had 6 in my last match. 2 bailed not wanting a 6v8. Game instantly ended, no warning / count down, no credit for the match. Cheers BW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalfear Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 we had a Void star match (that we won shockingly) that started with 7 went to 5, went up to 7, dropped to 6, Back to 7 where it stayed for remainder of match Insanity, pure insanity Oh winning being down 1-3 players felt really good but still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antipodes Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I noticed that if I am AFK when the queue pops (basically the join prompt expires), my icon on the minimap still blinks as if I am still looking for a game. I bet that is what is broken. People who don't take the queues are still taking up a spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamDefiant Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 My money would be on 2-8 people in a group at the top of the queue sitting there wondering if the queue is broken because their premade of 2-7 players won't back fill one empty slot with their people. I doubt it has to do with people being afk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
