so about the "PRIVATE PARTY."

[lacres181]

why is some random, able to join? (and no, im not talking about the Valby farm, though that happens too) i remember before PATCH, some random was able to join the area we,(my friends, my other friends game crashed so we waited for her) were just confused and kept asking on discord "is on private area?"
is this a"bug" that hasnt been addressed yet? its really inconvenient for friends or people who just want a private area so randoms dont come and screw up something.

are you going to the map and making it private or do you make a group and jump into a public lobby?

If you are indeed in a party the party leader needs to teleport you and make sure to set it to private when teleporting.

..you can only set it to private in albion. and they STILL, managed to join, and we kept asking, "its on private right? thats interesting that some random was able to join..." and when they (my friends) crash for some reason or lag out, some random is able to join.

I've had this happen too. I was playing private with a friend, my computer crashed, and after I restarted and joined back up suddenly there were random people in the lobby. We both checked our maps and it said private for both of us. This seems to be something that's caused by a player crashing then rejoining, or just crashing might be enough to cause it.

You're wrong. You can set it to private in the field, but it requires you to be at an outpost and to teleport to a different area. So you can swap public/private without going back to albion.

EVEN STILL, doesnt change the fact that some random was able to join a "PRIVATE AREA"
has happened to us numerous of times.

I have found that if you have it marked as private and invite anyone into the zone, the zone still shows as private but becomes public.

well i be damned...i think thats right, also, thats pretty stupid to be honest. and even seems legit since none of us, want to go to ALBION, just to invite them.

if you go private as 2 and invite 1 of your friend the lobby is gonna be public and randoms can join for w/e reason
