Unable to join the hunt (HERESY!)

Post by Sarah_U. » 23 Aug 2016, 17:39

Bug Description:
Trying to join the hunt when there's only 2 predators shown states that there's three.
"Only three predators may spawn per round, but Elders are excluded."


Steps to reproduce:
1. Follow predators to count them up to two.
2. Join the hunt while whitelisted.
3. "Only three predators may spawn per round, but Elders are excluded." will appear, proving that there are either 3 predators, but one unlisted, or a mistake in the numbers.
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

Is it possible there was a third dead predator?

I checked and the body I found was apparently an elder, otherwise I would've not reported this.

I believe Elders are counted, but not restricted. So there are 3 slots that can be filled by any Predator. Once those slots are filled, only Elders can join.

That's pretty mean to have elders count on the 3-player count... Explains a LOT why I can't join most rounds lately for predator.
EDIT: I guess if the Elder counted toward the third pred count, that this is resolved.

Predators who self destruct won't show up in the follow list. Elders do not count. Invalid.
