I want to reiterate for everyone that when you're reporting issues, we really need you to please be detailed and provide more than just what happened, please. For anyone who has experienced a Warzone that begins with 7 players on a team, and then the spot is never backfilled (which is what I am taking this report to exclusively mean), please provide the following information: 1. Warzone name 2. Faction (Was the other Faction the same or opposite?) 3. Approximately what time this occurred 4. Any other relevant details (for example, the match ended early because of 6 scores in Huttball) Thanks for your reports!

Any other relevant details (for example, the match ended early because of 6 scores in Huttball) Thanks for your reports! 1. Any/and all WZ types. 2. Sith Faction (altho have seen multiple peeps reporting same for Republic). 3. Time: Last night, 5:30PM to roughly 8PM PST, Bastion server. 4. The WZ starts with 7...there is no 8th...when a person leaves the WZ and gives us 6 people only...the 7th spot is backfilled as normal...but not the 8th spot. I have a screenshot from a Voidstar last night where 15 total players played the entire game...8 for the Republic...and 7 for Imperial. Amber this is an older bug from awhile ago, I know they've made some more adjustments to backfill of late, but this is indeed an issue. There is no way to reproduce it, other than just queue'ing up and checking. Essentially, the game is reading 8 players accepted the WZ, when in fact there is only 7. /shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revcrisis Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) Did you try resetting your UI via CTRL UU? Sometimes, I see only 7 people in a warzone. However, if I do a manual head count there's actually 8 on my team. Sometimes CTRL UU will fix it and the 8th will show up in the ops frame. Sometime it will not but obviously I see the missing person running around in the WZ and know we have an 8th.

While I have seen this a few times, this is simply a seperate issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winguardian Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I can confirm this bug, and it's really annoying. Dear god Bioware not AGAIN. Why do you keep reintroducing the same freaking bugs? It's getting rediculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KanDekB Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 This isn't the first place I posted about this issue (don't remember which forum thread it was). But, this is NOT a faction issue. I have played Huttball on the Imperial side with 6 players with the 7th and 8th spot never filled. The bizarre part is that when one of the players would quit the warzone, it would replace their spot! Now, a few hours later (all of this was on Tuesday but has persistently occurred since), I was in a Hypergate against my pub side guild and we were in mumble together. They started their match with only 7 people where the same exact issue occured. The eighth spot was never filled, but if someone quit the warzone they would be nearly instantly replaced. The next time it happens, I will promptly post here with all the relevant information. Thank you Devs for taking a moment to respond because I know many PVPers are frustrated. Lets just start playing again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crixa Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 This happened to us 2 nights ago on the Jedi Covenant Server on the Republic side. We would backfill the 7th but never the 8th spot. Had 3 warzones in a row w/ this problem and we actually won one of them. But now I have to wonder whether the other side was having the same issue.

AdrianDmitruk Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (Reposted from a duplicate post I accidentally made in the PVP forum, because I didn't think to look here.) Anyone else getting a lot of warzones starting with 5 people that don't shut down? Because since the last maintenance I've gotten LOTS of warzones that start severely shorthanded, that don't shut down. Just got out of a civil war where we only started with 4 people. It didn't fill up until the very end. It was a hell of a fight, and we got within 100 points of winning on starting with half a team (we got a 5th person fairly quickly, but took a very long time to get more), but damn we shouldn't be expected to start with that kind of a handicap. I really don't like the idea of matches getting decided by queue system bugs before they ever start. And that was in the middle of the day. With lots of people on PVPing. Lots of warzones last night started with 5 too. I've been seeing this a lot more since Tuesday, more than can be explained by "premade didn't take the queue." And after server transfers, I'm sure there aren't even a whole lot of Imperial premades left on my server anymore, just the solo queuers stayed. Did biofail's latest bolster patch break the queue filling system or something? Now to adapt this to dev requested format: 1. Warzone name: Civil war 2. Faction (Was the other Faction the same or opposite?): Imps (me) vs. Pubs 3. Approximately what time this occurred: 2:30 Pacific time 28 June 4. Any other relevant details (for example, the match ended early because of 6 scores in Huttball): Warzone shutdown aborted when we got a 5th person, but we only had 5 for several minutes and it took nearly the entire warzone to fill to 8.

happymealseven Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 My experience might shed more light on the cause of the problem; hopefully sharing it will bring about a faster resolution. I was q'd with 2 other people. I was waiting around and about to complain about how long the pop was taking when I realized the other two members of my group were already in the wz. My wz icon was still blinking and saying I was q'd but I never got the pop with them. I whispered them and they told me my spot was never filled, they only had 7 on the team, and it continued that way til the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandoforlife Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Got some screenshots for this issue. I saw we started with seven, so I took a ss, just incase we ended that way. Sure enough we did. The top picture is before the match started, and the bottom is when it ended. http://imgur.com/a/Ve3kt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarielle Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) 1. Warzone name: Voidstar, level 30-54 bracket 2. Faction: Republic (vs. Imperials) 3. Approximately what time this occurred: early Saturday morning -- probably between 1 a.m. - 3 a.m. EST 4. Any other relevant details: We played the whole match with six people vs. their eight. No one was ever backfilled for us. screenshot Sadface, because we actually did rather well considering, lol.

Sarielle Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Another one, except this one actually ended prematurely like, I assume, it's supposed to? 1. Warzone name Huttball (10-29 bracket) 2. Faction: Imperial (vs. Imperial) 3. Approximately what time this occurred: Saturday afternoon, 1-3 p.m. EST 4. Any other relevant details: Match was 8 v 6, but it ended after only a few seconds, defaulting to the win for us (the side with 8). We pretty much only had time to reach the center, kill the other dude who grabbed it, and run the ball for maybe 10 seconds at most. screenie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistols Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) A screeny. 7 vs 5, the super-hard-mode. I'm sure PvE issues of this magnitude would get serious attention. Edited June 30, 2013 by Pistols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crixa Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) 1. Novare Coast 2. Republic vs Republic (we were yellow team) 3. 11:45pm Central 4. Jedi Covenant Completed an entire match w/ 7 in the group. We had 1 person leave and we backfilled the 7th spot, but never the 8th.

Abbrachmann Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I'm not even going to bother with screen shots. Because its happened in EVERY WARZONE TODAY!!!! 8-9server am on The Bastion in Civil War and Novare Coast. 5v8 and 6v8. Having those kinds of odds stacked against you makes the game unplayable for regular warzones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelael Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 1. Warzone name: Novarre 2. Faction: Pub vs Imps 3. Approximately what time this occurred: ~4-5pm Saturday 4. Any other relevant details: 5 v 8 (I left about 4 minutes in out of boredom) 1. Warzone name: Huttball 2. Faction: Pubs (vs Pubs) 3. Approximately what time this occurred: ~10-12pm Saturday Night 4. Any other relevant details: Was actually 6 v 8. 1. Warzone name: Novarre 2. Faction: Pub vs Pub 3. Approximately what time this occurred: Sunday ~7-9pm 4. Any other relevant details: 7 v 8, ended 6 v 8 1. Warzone name: Hypergate 2. Faction: Pub vs Imp 3. Approximately what time this occurred: Sunday ~7-9pm 4. Any other relevant details: 7 v 8, we actually wont this one (Yay for 4 shadows, 2 healers, and me) Off topic: I realize its the loading time delay (Even tho mine is about 30-60 seconds usually), but Im really tired of loading into matches that are at the point of no return in CW, Voidstar, Huttball, etc. I actually got sick of backfilling into a 0-4 or 0-5 huttballs (5x in a row, always different matches), and then a bunch of fail CWs, Voidstars, and Novarres, I just started leaving matches I'd backfill into regardless of score. Give us an option NOT to backfill. If it happened once in a while Id be okay with it, but 75% of the matches just made me go (bleep). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Beers Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I had this happen this weekend and noticed there would be 8 names on the scoreboard but one of them would have all 0's for numbers at the end. I also seemed to notice that it would happen if I queued as a pair I would take the queue and my group member would still be in the queue except his would never pop.
