Frontlines games incorrect maximum players

[Hobson]

So far I've seen it in Shatter, Seal Rock, and Slaughter but assuming it will happen in all frontlines matches, the game will stop finding players after it reaches some value less then 8. At first I didn't think much of it thought people just weren't queuing, but when someone dropped from the match, it turned on finding members and someone else connected pretty quickly and this was repeatable i.e. have someone drop, and then it works and replaces them but still stops before 8. In this game we couldn't have more than 6 members, once that value was hit finding members would disappear and we would never get any higher. Not even the party leader can add more members.

Anyone else here encounter this issue? If yes, have you ever encountered it before 3.4? I've played over 400 games of frontlines and I've seen my share of weird things happen but I've never seen this prior to 3.4.

Thoughts?

Shatter In Progress queue has been broken since patch 3.4 went live. Whoever you get in the match on your GC is what you get. The server won't look for more people to fill up the remaining slots. I don't know about the other Frontline maps since I never queue for them directly. This is the only time I've encountered weird bugs on any Frontline maps since coming back to this game 3 months ago.

Are you sure that it wasn't because the match reached the final 10 minute mark? It stops searching for players once it reaches that mark.

[Hobson]

Nope not anywhere near the 10 minute mark. Like I stated we had someone drop from the game to see if it would start the finding members thing and it does as soon as someone drops which the proceeds to go away as soon as we get back up to 6 people. This is still happening even after last nights hotfix... been placing a bug report everytime it happens and been telling others to do the same.

I can confirm this problem. Shatter and Slaughter stoped looking for people even though we where only 5 from the beginning and people trying to get in 'in progress' couldnt join. (Asked FC members in Teamspeak if they could join to fill up empty spaces. They got no invite.)

+1, had match now with 3 ppl in the beginning and no one couldn't join up. It makes no sense for me even to begin this match with so disadvantage -_-

It's super buggy. I'm been running several matches since patch, and yesterday we had a 7 man get for Shatter, and I was totally expecting that was it, no add-ons. During the match 2 people left during the match, for whatever reason, so I man a joke in-game about people leaving (because knowing full well we aren't getting people joining). Probably about 2 minutes left on the overall match (everyone was around 600/1000 points in a 24 man), we had 2 people join in progress randomly, but then the Duty stopped searching again after those spots filled instead of filling to 8 (I looked).

Also, although I haven't tried outside of Shatter, I did /return one time and returned to someone else's base instead of my home base. Someone last night did the same and went to Flames base instead of our base (Mael).

I did /return one time and returned to someone else's base instead of my home base.

This should make ninjaing enemy bases alot more easier :P

Tell me has this been brought up in the bug reports forum?

Now it doesn't even show "Finding members". We had to play as a 6 person team on Seal Rock.
