We are able to reproduce both of these bugs internally. I found that they are both timing related and happen most often during low-bandwidth, high latency, or unstable latency internet environments. If you're playing at a time where the player pool is small enough that there aren't a lot of hosts to connect to these issues will be more prevalent. We are working on a solution.
Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. I hope you guys can fix them quickly.
Yeah, I'm still amazed that Bioware believes themselves to be faultless in this entire affair. Worse yet, while we finally have the communication that we have been so desperately trying to get, it is not the communication that is needed since there is still no comment regarding when items that were supposed to be included in patch 3 will actually be released or what are the next set of issues that will be addressed.There is no conflict; there's a clear use of a word and applying to someone, saying they are that thing. That's the definition of name-calling.
It's disconcerting to see the idea that we're held to a higher standard, but no mention of the idea that name-calling does not meet a professional standard? When someone saddens me, if I lose my temper and resort to name-calling, I am in the wrong and I should at least acknowledge that I don't intend to let that be something I do in the future - even if I slip up now and then, because nobody's perfect. But the tone of this response seems to be: we aren't capable of ever taking an action we'd ever regret, but you guys are.
Allan, I do appreciate that in your thread clean-up you've let my posts stand, even if no one has chosen to address them.
I'm also glad to see, whatever the disagreements, that y'all have chosen to engage with the MP customers again. Are there plans to hop over to general Feedback forums and engage with the single-player customers soon, or is that waiting for more solid Patch 4 info?
Also I want to point out that at least on PC, there is a discrepancy between my personal prestige points and my points on the leaderboard, with the latter lagging 8 points behind. I understand leaderboard is pointless to a lot of people but would like to see if this issue is prevalent and whether devs are aware of it.

The prestige point is a good one.
I'm not even sure how the total prestige number is calculated.
It includes the objective achievements, promotions and maybe events but it seems unclear.
I asked EA Answers how it was calculated a couple of weeks ago, but stony silence there so far.
On PC.....Any news on when we can expect something for consoles?
Consider yourselves priviledged, console p...population. We'll happily do some extra live testing for you.
The mini patch that happened contained our other major fix to the key-drop glitch. There is still an instance we've seen once in a blue moon where a teleporting enemy will teleport outside of the bounds of the level to a place where they're not allowed, causing the players to be unable to find them, but for the most part the key-drop problem should be very uncommon from here on out. I've seen a number of posts from people confirming that this is the case.
You move from one wave to the next except you do not enter a true mp map. You enter and outdoor map which has plains and grass, mountains of bldgs in the distance. You can see your team mates but no enemies, you can move around a bit but there are obstacles that will pop you back to a location. You can use your abilities and attack but off course you are either far from the actual action or can't see the enemies.
If you are luck and have good patient team mates and they make it to the next door you will be popped back into the game as normal. (I have had this happen twice in a game once, most often just one level gets fubared.) Amelia acknowledge this problem and sort of explained why it was happening but can't remember if she said there was an impending fix.
(Edit: Yes I am on Xbox one...the true master race!) If that is addressed in an impending patch then that is good news and I am thankful.
Ahh...so, the "Plains of Doom" affect consoles, as well?

I've always thought of it as Purgatory, or maybe some kind of secondary post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland myself. Gotten it on PS4 for sure
I also think the banning of Penguin was uncalled for. IMHO, he wasn't rude, just blunt. To me, banning him demonstrates insecurity on the part of Bioware.
Just adding some clarification (no opinion stated below just facts)
Penguin was issued temporary ban and returned to the forum. He posted on the 26-27-28 of January in multiple topics.
Something happened on January 28 (yesterday) that landed him a permanent ban.
I don't presume to know what was written or said that gave him the second ban.

Yes, on XB1 I find it exceedingly rare.
Twice in the time I've played (which is a lot).
I think like other issues, poor internet is playing a part.

I've had it I would say at least 15-20 times.

Bioware made him a martyr. No matter what they do now he will forever be a hero to many of us.Just adding some clarification (no opinion stated below just facts)

We are aware of this issue and have a fix for it. You should see this live in the near future, with the leaderboards re-synchronizing properly with your personal prestige points.
Soon. I don't like commenting on precise patch times because it can be hard to predict and it only leads to disappointment when the time/date slips. But you can rest assured that we are working hard to bring these stability improvements to all platforms as soon as possible.
Just dont keep us in th dark. We, console players, know we are minority here, but we wish to be loved too 
Honestly it begs to be seen. Until it happens and is related to specific decisions made prior I'm not going to claim this anymore. I will however agree that it took entirely too much on our end to get any sort of response in the first place. I honestly can't believe it took talk of legal action and calls for employees of BW to be fired just to receive a proper response. When that response came it also came with a negative impact on many forum users including new rules
New rules?
Yes, posts in Scuttlebuts. Only Conal Pierse bothers sometimes to post in this enormous 800 pages while seems like here we have 3-4 people that even don't play MP. And yet another quote:
Quoting individual posts doesn't prove anything.
And there have been posts by several BioWare employees. Particularly in threads about specific issues, such as the sound and banter thread. You are denying their existence because it doesn't suit you to acknowledge them, but that doesn't change reality.
It's quite exciting to see dev interaction happening on a larger scale finally. Keep up the good work!
