View Full Version : Joining Games on Maps you dont have

Before these patches (i dont know in which one this changed), you could join a players game with a map you didn't have as long as the Host did. (I recall several friends joining MM survival runs when they didnt have the map). I just came back to the game after a break but I kept buying the DLC, my friend however did not.

Now, if I have selected Sky city or any map he doesnt have, he cant even join my games unless I switch the map. If he's also on my game and then I later try to go onto a map he doesnt have, he gets kicked too.

First question is: Is this intented? I liked that you didnt HAVE to own the map in order to play it.
Second Question: When was this changed if it was intented?

If this is intented, I'm sorry if this was addressed in a previous patch notes thread or something, as I mentioned, i havent been here for some months.

Thank you for your time.

you were never able to play shard maps you didn't own even if the host had it. all other maps you could and still can afaik

It seems my friends did have MM, but not HC mode, I guess you're right, but still; endgame content is from shards only, wouldnt it be fair to let friends partake on your adventure?

If they didn't buy the DLC, no.
