im sure they'll fix the disconnect issue really quick, the rest of it dunno. So far I don't quite get the heist thing, I wish it was a mobs get stronger/harder the longer the alarm goes off, but you could still loot shit.
As it stands now, can do one big chest and maybe a couple small boxes before I have nada except the objective.

Best tip is to basically clear all the way to the main objective, unlock that door, etc. then go for the targeted side areas. If you hover over each box you can see how much alert it will give you by opening it. Once that's done you basically just min/max your alert. Then I usually do one big one with a clear run path to the main objective. Can net a fair amount of loot if you use this method.
The running from a million aura'd elite guards with two shot mechanics after is a completely different story.

People are were saying Flame Wall was already level 12 numbers at lvl 1 or something. Didn't personally test any of the new stuff so can't confirm.
Oh and Abyss's don't work for the most part. I think I got 1/2 done the first day and I'm like 0-10 today. Another bug I believe they're aware of.

I'm one of the few that dicks around on standard on a couple builds and the assassin mark change essentially ruined 3 of the builds i fuck with on standard testing and just general fuck around. Ruined is obviously a strong word, but it made them feel like shit.

Most do, but you can build without it. I never used it when playing arc totems and I plan to not use it when i try dark pact totems this league.

And that mentality is really stupid too. It took two heists for me, a stupid casual, to realize you need to essentially plan your route, min/max your alert then smash and grab. Its about as complicated as a Super Nintendo game. But I know it took me a month to make my buddy understand how best to use harvest.... Me go fast. Me smash.
Do all heists give you a window of time to get to the main objective if you set the alarm off? I thought it was just one type of helper that had that perk

Sounds like most leagues. A week or two to get it going like it is "supposed" to be. First two weeks is alpha test, after that it's beta the rest of the league or at least first month.

All of them have a ~20 second smash and grab window once the alarm triggers, which can get modified by the various crew members and some equipment.
Concept of the league is super cool, execution is off per usual though. The amount of dick holding time spent during runs waiting for buggy animations of crew members to finish is just infuriating. Even when they don't bug out some of them just take fucking forever (looking at you agility).
Still not super clear what they were going for with the guard aggro and alert meter? You can't stealth by any of them aside from the one robot map where all the mobs are asleep, so the "stealth" phase before the alarm is just zoom around as fast as possible and ignore all mobs until you can open as many doors/chests as you can? Then set the alarm off and mega-zoom to open anything else you can reach?
The doors themselves are complete cancer and I weep for anyone that tried to roll melee this league. Watching half a dozen rare mobs just stack up on the other side and charge up all kinds of bullshit while you wait for the animations has to be the worst shit ever if you have to actually go hit them with a weapon.
There's also a special place in hell for whoever put on-death mechanics in to this shit, knowing full well it's all or nothing in terms of rewards.

You can push your /hideout macro don't have to log out.
But yes heist is a big mess even if i've been lucky and haven't had any big issues myself. Crashed on zone in once, and once the door to get to the curio display wouldn't open in like 30 heists i would say.
