A 'thank you' and a short list of other issues

First of all, thanks for being on top of things and being communicative with the community. It means a lot.

I also wanted to make you guys aware of some other issues to hopefully be addressed in the future once matchmaking stability has improved.

  1. There has been an issue since Day 1 with the party staying together when backing out of searches and when backing out of post-game. The party leader does not pull their party with them. This seems to only be an issue with matchmaking, as the party stays together fine through custom game matches. In terms of matchmaking, this often causes issues with re-joining, and the entire game then requires a full restart by first going to the dashboard and using the menu button to quit.

  2. In general, the process of simply backing out of a search can sometimes cause issues with re-joining party members, especially if we back out multiple times in succession (if no game is found after a few minutes, for instance), and also will require a full game restart.

  3. The issue of splitting up the team has improved slightly, so now we are not being split during the first game. However, if we stay in the room to play against/with the same people, it will then split us up. It looks like, after the first game is over, that the system no longer recognizes us as a party (or, perhaps, deliberately dissolves our previous party due to a glitch). This occurred after every game, and we were never paired together going into a second game (though we only attempted this three times). Additionally, backing out after this first game caused re-joining issues, and always required a full restart for the game to allow us to join each other.
    -A small bug that may or may not be of note is that, when going into the second games, the nameplates for every person would no longer be unique, but a plain blue, and all of their symbols would default to the same thing.

A friend also mentioned that, earlier in the day yesterday, he and another were having chat issues. He said that, when they would find a game and it would start, that the chat would stop working while they were in game.
