When I go to my friends list and press "Join" to join one of my friends, I see:

"We apologize for the inconvenience, but this button is temporarily disabled. You can join your friend through the Join Game screen screen in the World Map. Filter for your friend's name. This will be fixed asap."

OK, fine. My question is about the "Filter for your friends name" part. Is this possible? The only filters I see on the join game screen are:

<Game Name>
<Min Level>
<Max Level>
<Campaign>

Where would I put my friends name on this screen?

(I'm using Android.)

Under <Game Name>.

That's assuming he is the host though, since the game would appear as (Your Friends Name here)'s Game.

If he isn't the host, ask your friend for the host of the games name.

If there is no host, you or your friend should host one.

The only thing to keep in mind is that if your friend's game is full -- meaning it has 5 players already in-game -- that game will not appear in the join game list because it is not an eligible game. Only games with less than 5 players appear in the join game screen. So it is always best to message a friend first to see if there is a spot available before trying to join.

Ah yes, never forget that. You might misinterpret it as the game being buggy or something :)

Thanks DT.
