For example I was still in the raid queue 5 minutes after the timer had expired -The ava hex bugging is back, some hexes go in, some do not. The ones that do not also have a chance to be perma bugged or just temp bugged.(This means you have the ability to bid, but when the timer ends and the q pops, you may not get it)(This could be the same issue with the spec ops queues) -This specialty stand just does not belong at all. -End mission roulette is still unamusing and very annoying. -Beta Maps Queue bearly works at all, and when it does, it just gives you uneven teams, 6v7, 5v6, 9v6, etc.. I know there are a few more problems just I can't remember.

Have you guys put any thoughts into this:
viewtopic.php?f=147&t=35729

The drone one is a big deal.

So is decoy/sealed systems, unless these two were intended in which case it would be nice to know why in the world you would nerf two of the most unused offhands in the game.

Also, I didn't see any mention about the roulette sound at the end mission screen where it keeps going and going and going and going even after you've received the item.

Very annoying that noise. It seems I am carrying skill mario kart.

Sure am glad I sold all my T5 dyes before this patch, seeing how they went from a solid 400k to 40k

Except its not AP only, you can still get them from loot drops, even f2p peoples.

Yeah, I've always wondered that. It just makes no sense that the desert items take so much farming that, by the time you get them, you'll have leveled past the point they would've been most useful.

Re: Patch Notes: May 24, 2011 - VERSION 1.42

Alright so the bugs I've noticed so far that stand out THE most are:
-4v4 Queue has been reverted, DO.NOT.WANT.
-Now take fall damage in dome city.
-When queueing for anything but merc, you now have a 50/50 chance of actually bieng in the Q, you have to actually check if the numbers went up to know that you are in the Q, or else you just sit there.
-After timed queues end, they no longer take you out of the queue. For example I was still in the raid queue 5 minutes after the timer had expired
-The ava hex bugging is back, some hexes go in, some do not. The ones that do not also have a chance to be perma bugged or just temp bugged.(This means you have the ability to bid, but when the timer ends and the q pops, you may not get it)(This could be the same issue with the spec ops queues)
-This specialty stand just does not belong at all.
-End mission roulette is still unamusing and very annoying.
-Beta Maps Queue bearly works at all, and when it does, it just gives you uneven teams, 6v7, 5v6, 9v6, etc..

I know there are a few more problems just I can't remember.

So there were no 'special rewards' at all?
