So I've been thinking with the problems we always have with a new game in the roster we should set some ground rules to ensure everyone is looked after.

1. In the interest of narrowing down the variables we dispose of the "Chat Party" all together. If it's limited to 8 then its useless at the moment.
2. We only use the "Game Party" even though the voice quality may be less or even terrible. It's NOT limited to 8.
3. The host waits for all players that are online at 8:30pm to join the room before starting an event.
4. If people are having trouble joining we help them join rather than leave them out, listening to the rest play the game.
5. People can join through the Friends List / Direct Invite / The lines menu NOT the "Chat Party" refer point 1.
6. If after 15minutes of trying to get all that are present in the one room there are still people not connected we move on regardless.

What do you all think?

And nup...can't see friends, therefore pointless making a party or session.

That's a shame.

Have one in each class and then you'll never have a problem.

But it depends who hosts really. I like A and B class. Other hosts might prefer faster classes.

So I couldn't join because whenever I try to do anything online it tells me I am downloading content (which sits at 100%), won't let me join and doesn't complete... a known error which is solved be uninstalling and reinstalling :rolleyes:

pretty pissed off about it
