1. The host cannot invite players to join his quick battle boat, they must each manually join from the quick battle menu
2. After the battle is finished, all players are kicked out of the party and they have to manually reform the party again

3. You cannot select any oaths of honor when making a party via quick battle.
4. You cannot select single mode AKA easy mode when making a party via quick battle.
6. When viewing a battle at the quick battle screen, it shows player status as "A Dark Pr" but the rest of the text is cut off. See : http://i.imgur.com/XCu0ZJP.jpg

This doesnt seem to happen for s2 maps (ship graveyard, etc). Was just in one in which the host ended, i got the popup and i got all drops, etc.
In s3 battles though like the berbhe dailies, when the host forfeits and returns to town, the other players in the party do not seem to get the "do you wish to end the battle?" popup. Instead it just transfers the host to the 2nd player.
Also no QB bugs have been fixed yet
2. I thought that was the point of a quick battle. Party up, kill boss, disband party. Again, probably not a bug, just an inconvenience.
3. The quick battles reward additional XP and drops. Oaths mainly just add some xp. I assume they did this intentionally to prevent stacking a higher xp oath with the additional XP from quick battle. Would it be nice, yes? Is this a bug? Probably not. Also, the restrictive oaths like "Die less than X amount of times, or gear destroyed less than X amount of times," would lead quick battles to fail. People want to use quick battle to get a quick fight in, not restart because someone died too many times.
4. I would definitely not call this a bug. This keeps players from breezing through all the story raids on easy mode without having to travel around. It takes away from the experience and just shows laziness.
1, 2, 3 & 4: Use the board like we did before Quick Battles were introduced. These aren't bugs.
5, 6, 7, & 8: Look like legit bugs that need to be fixed and addressed.
Sorry, this DOES happen for S2 maps, especially Ship Graveyard I was in yesterday.... Got the message "you have been assigned a new party leader" "please wait while we're transferring your data" when wantedto end the battle after killing all the bosses.
Waited 10 minutes but nothing happened. Still the same message and unable to do the slightest thing. Was talking in discord with a friend in my party and he got everything right but not me.... Got ripped of all my XP, Gold and AP earned through the battle...

Don't want to claim things when I'm not sure, but I think that the 3rd is normal. I think I saw it somewhere that when creating QB, you won't be able to select an Oath.
For the 4th, I'd say it's pretty normal since QB are meant to build a group quickly without waiting for hours. It's not to make your life easier by allowing you to create a battle without being in the city you have to be...
Thanks Nexon for this one.
Wow. I have no words to describe how impressed I am by some bugs, really...
Exactly the reason why I said that:
Sadly, I couldn't find much for EU or US, yet I still did make some search about Quick battles and found this OFFICIAL Thailandese thread where you can see how to create a QB.

As you can see on the pictures without needing any translation (though Google is your best friend for that) it doesn't look like you can select an Oath nor create the QB in "Easy" mode, which, I assume, is perfectly normal and what Nexon wanted in the end.
Also, don't forget that QB gives you slightly more XP & AP than battles created in the old way, and I think that is probably to compensate for the lacking Oaths, although it is only my own assumption.
So, unless you can prove that it is indeed a bug (did the Strange Traveler told you Oaths were selectable in the explanation quest?) please, don't claim that anything that MAY look like a bug IS indeed a bug when, obviously, you didn't make any search in the first place about official sources either.
Regards.
