3.12.2 Hotfix 1

"

Exiting a Heist can once again place you in a Rogue Harbour instance that does not contain your Heist Portal. This is a temporary measure to fix an issue introduced in 3.12.2 where players were unable to leave a Heist if the instance that contained their Heist portal was full. We will properly fix this issue in a future patch.

As a QA/QC professional of some years, I can say with certainty that this kind of abysmally messy launch is absolutely preventable. How do you not test the stability of a new portal mechanic to make sure it does what it's supposed to do? How do you then put out a "fix" just to roll it back a few hours later and fail to ACTUALLY fix it for 3 more days (and counting)?

The solution has been shouted from the rooftops since day 2: MAKE THE HARBOUR NOT A PUBLIC INSTANCE. Honestly, it not only ruins the immersion of feeling like you're part of that team (along with a hundred other gaudy MTX nightmares?), but it eliminates the issue of trying to return the player to their now-full Harbour instance of origin. It never should have been public in the first place.
