Players in pre-made groups disband after abandoning or completing an Expedition.
Role selection DOES support the Lost Stopwatch artifact to quality for Tank role, but the UI only mentions Carnelian Gems
Role counter does not update after kicking member from group and can stall the queuing process.
Work around – If any remaining player revisits the Role Select screen, the group size will update and will proceed as expected.
Soul Trial entrances can sometimes show both lobby and matchmaking elements.
No workaround needed, just click the button and proceed to the entrance screen.
Trying to change your role while in a Cross-World match does not give a reason why it fails to update.
When queuing for Outpost Rush or Arena, the global “Leave Queue” button is missing from the updated UI.
Players must leave queue through the main Queue Status HUD (top right), or from the specific Outpost Rush/Arena screens.
After playing an Outpost Rush match, the Expedition’s queue HUD can briefly show Outpost Rush match sizes before the first player accepts the invite.
