Maybe friends shouldn't be allowed to join password protected games

[ArrogantBastard]

I think if you password protect a game, the game should only be accessible to others through an invite or if they have the password. I have more private games ruined by friends or friends of friends jumping in than I get to enjoy. You get a good group going where everyone is on the same strategy page and everyone knows how to play to minimize chance of dying, then a button masher or an archer or mage who plays like a warrior trying to tank large groups shows up and carelessly runs around activating every creature in the vicinity making avoiding dying nearly impossible.

These incidents are usually followed by everyone in the group worth playing with leaving the game. It's frustrating. And you can boot people, sure, but it's hard to do it when you're fighting and often leads to dying while you're in the boot screen, let alone the drama messages of "why'd you boot me man?" and the conversations that follow. It'd just be easier and a lot less frustrating if I didn't have to deal with the problem in the first place.

I would agree if there was some way to enter a password when you join through the friends screen. Otherwise people would have to hunt down the game in the list which would be annoying.

Yes please.

I think maybe an option to allow only people to join if they have a password, and/or if they are on your friends list.

Or remove them from your friends list... You are a arrogant bastard after all.

Maybe the password protected game option needs to be clarified? Or perhaps divided into two options: friend only, and/or, password protected.

There are times when I want a solo game and I don't think removing all my friends to do this is a reasonable measure to take to achieve this.

I agree, I have had some strange encounters with "friends" dropping into password protected games,
You should be able to password a game, and be able to invite friends to it without them having to know the password, but not have them be able to join your password protected game, without an invite or knowing the password.
