Party and Public Games

Quick question here.

I'm wondering if whenever you are in a party with another player you can still get people to enter the zone and complete your party?
Cause it seems that whenever I want to farm with a friend and other random players we cannot get anyone to join our game when we are in a party.
It makes it pretty hard to farm with friends with help from others.

if you are with a party in the map where you created it, other can still join. But if you go to the next map, only your party can run the dungeon.

I see so basically if you want to play with a friend + others you gotta be lucky and end up in the same map?

When you're in a party, and you join a NEW map, all 4 player slots will automatically be reserved. So, no one else can join unless they're in your party. If you want to play with a friend and others, one of you can join a game, and get the other person to join you via the Social >> Friends tab. If you get into a map that is full already, exit and try again.

So what you are saying is that you need lightningspeed to invite a friend before the map fills up? lol

pretty much that way. Tell your friend to click join really fast as soon as u enter a pub game

They should make it so that it allows other players to join but also reserves spots for the whole party. So if you got 3 in a party, it will still allow one additional player to join. Often times I have this same issue where I want to do runs with a buddy or two, but we don't have enough to fill the party. So we either have to run short-handed, or not at all.

Or if we have a full party and someone has to leave, then we have to spend time looking for someone to fill his spot, instead of just letting randoms join.


Edit: Or better yet, just allow us to "join" our friends without having to make a party, the way it works in PL. That would solve this whole issue.

If you're in a party with less than four people, it might be cool to have a "fill party" button where the invite button usually is. Tapping the button would open the remaining spots up for random players.

Yes we should suggest this because it is very counter-intuitive.
