Can a Group of 2 never play with a 3 Random??

[Todoroki]

Hello, can it be that a group of 2 never get an chance of a third random member? That is just awful? Thanks for answers

[Claxi_Va]

Same with me and my buddy. Thus we have to search for party with a single player in it in order to invite the other one

[Todoroki]

Is this a trick and it works?
Searching Single Player and invite quick a friend?

Had the same thing happen a lot when I disabled crossplay. After enabling it I tend to get groups of 3 but there appears to be some network instability and players get dropped occasionally.

I just want a third Member when i play with a friend...? But it doenst work we can only play online pve missions with us 2 together? Like it is a privat pve mission.
Is there a trick to get a third online member?

The OP is literally - as in 'literally' - asking for the opposite of a private lobby.

It works for us but takes some time: each of us picks a mission and hopes that either of us will get into a single-man lobby (that makes two players in that lobby with the 3rd empty slot), if that's the case — invite your buddy ASAP.

The downside is that usually matchmaking adds you to a party of 2 other players with no slots for your buddy and you have to leave that lobby and keep on trying

Have any of you had an issue loading into each campaign mission with your friend? Me and my buddy always crash on the Thunderhawk, and it sends us back to the barge but loads nothing.

We have to load one of us into a mission, then add the other friend to group to get them to load in separately. Its the only part it ever happens. The rest is smooth sailing. We haven't been able to find a work-around for it yet =/

Yep, it happens sometimes, no workarounds found yet

They have to get this sorted. Only way I can get a full team, is the first time I load into the game. One that round is over, and anyone leaves, those spots can no longer be repopulated. I have to exit out to the title screen to make it connect to server again, then when I start a Operation it fills both slots properly. I have to do this after every round when someone leaves in order to have a 3 player set.

Anyone know if they are aware of this? They don't seem to post here so...

Another thing that hurts Operations is the class restriction. People develop favorite classes to play, and I've seen so many players come in and immediately leave when they see a conflict. PVE shouldn't have this restriction. When they do this it also makes it so I have to exit to the Title screen in order to get a full team.

I've had a 3rd player join in and replace a bot several times, so it can happen. Matchmaking is weird though, so there might be conditions for it. I've found that returning to title screen does seem to help "resetting" matchmaking for lack of a better term. So when I start a lobby and nobody joins, this usually does the trick.

Think its a bug, after I invite a friend, matchmaking always breaks. Until they fix it I generally can only play with 3 if im alone.

PVE has it cause each class is actually a character in the game and because people would just use cheese builds (2 heavies and a Bulwark for example) and always boot out classes they dont want.
