Minor post-patch issues PS3/ thanks for fixing

[Jamn1080]

I have noticed a few little things that aren't a big deal, but could use a fix in the future

"Vote to skip" function is broken- I'm not sure if that was intended in the patch to no longer veto to a desired map, but its broken.

Team party switching- It doesn't happen too often, but once in a while you'll join a game and half your party will be on the other team, even if its only 2-4 people in your party.

Lag- I don't know if it can be fixed, but the random lag that happens when people join and leave the game is really annoying, especially when using a charge-to-shoot weapon. (I know, old issue but w/e)

Thanks for fixing: Hard Target.

The party invite system- The list now only shows your online friends, then following with the recent played" with list, and following with your offline friends.

If you have noticed any other minor issues, please post em here!

I just wanted to clarify on this point: Is it that you're not seeing this show-up on your screen at all anymore? And, have you seen any other players put in their own votes, or does the number always remain at zero?

0/6 Votes to skip shows up underneath the picture of the map, you can press "box" to skip than it goes to 1/6 votes to skip, and gets stuck there, even if others press it also, weather they're in your party or not, it will get stuck.

I have been in lobbies with multiple people with mics in the lobby trying to veto to the new map, but it just gets stuck.

Also, Toxic Gas: Still only does two damage instead of 50.

Awesome, thanks very much for the information! I do appreciate it.

Yep, that's to be expected. It should be back to its old state on Xbox 360 and PC when the next free update arrives for them, but we still need to work some magic on the PS3 side.

Question skaarjonic, was rummy meant to completely prevent any damage done from the boarding party gun? PS3 NA user here

Just adding to what ice posted: I can understand the pecking damage done, but when you shoot the weapon against someone with rummy, they get the push back effect, but not the 20 damage direct hit. I think it should still do the direct hit 20 damage but with no peck damage. This would make much more sense.

I'll expand on the pary splitting issue, it seems to happen a lot where the same player is put on the other team, several matches in a row, and even if switching to other lobbies (PS3)

Also, I can be in a party of four, game starts and two randoms get thrown onto our team leaving the other team with only two players. happens a lot.

I've not been able to replicate the vote map skip issue. Today I say 2/6 people vote to skip a map. It always works (well a +1 occurs) when I vote to skip a map.

I generally do however feel the whole vote system is flawed. Players either don't know about it or don't care about it. It's a real shame because some maps such as Docks are actually now fast becoming hard to find since the lobby issue. Every time I get kicked out I always seem to join a new lobby which is either (a) playing the same map I just got kicked out off, (b) playing east end or (c) playing Ark. Asylum which appears to crop up far too often in comparison to the other maps.

I would rather see a system were two randomly selected maps are available and then players in lobby vote for the next one.

I will add to the Party splits. been happening alot in the past two week. Last night for example I got split from the party of 5, to be placed in a game BY MYSELF for about 2 mins til someone else finally came in.. I left the game and was no longer in the Party.
