Please move the multiplayer settings to before you start a game. Make new players aware of the Multiplayer - Invite Only setting. Put up a massive neon sign at the start if you want just, please can we not have to joining games, getting kicked, joining the same game, getting kicked again, joining the same idiots again and getting kicked by the very same idiots yet again because you don’t get enough time to tell said idiots to set their game to Invite Only before they reach for the Kick button. Thirteen tries to join a game at the last attempt.
Suggestion:

– Open Multi Player
– Invitation Only Multiplayer/Single Player
or
Continue Game
– Open Multi Player

Something like that.

I’ve had another thought about this. The original post was written in frustration. Perhaps I can be a little more constructive. I realise that many players want to play with other players who are at the same-ish level and play the activities they play.
So, would it be possible to implement a proper lobby in this game? What I mean is something like this.
You start a multiplayer game and choose whether to host or join.
If you choose to host, information about your game is transmitted to the lobby with host player name and some stats, well at least your chosen character’slevel, as well as names and stats of players in your game. Perhaps you could also add a note for your hosting session such as “need help with missions”, “Please, no killing rivals in Farmlands” or “Reaper has spawned” etc. It should be possible to edit this note from within the game.
When you choose to join a game you’re presented with a list of hosted sessions, who the host is, who else is in the game (inluding stats/levels) and the game note. Players can then choose to join a game that suits them and maybe join players they know and like to play with. Allow the option of a filter on the game list to remove games that are already full.
I think you know roughly what I mean. It would look something like:
Incendito lvl 21 En Skirmish Running Marshlands missions
Severus98 - lvl 31, Skogsmulle - lvl 29
Tick Tick Boom lvl 30 De Adventure Reaper im Wald
Hun446 - lvl 18
SamIwas lvl 31 En Guerilla Trying to spawn a reaper
MomsSpagetthi - lvl 16
Then click on the game you want to join. Maybe also filter on difficulty and language.
